![[NBM] Eden |Story Snippet|](http://d.furaffinity.net/art/technologic-skies/1548976845/1548976845.technologic-skies_sq1ylwf.jpg "Click to change the View")
Edit: He is being renamed; the real Eden is to follow shortly.
This was drawn by Marrusa on FlightRising! Information at the bottom.
"When the world comes apart at the seams and you witness the slow massacre of everyone you sought to protect, something within snaps; an audible twang that rings in the ears and shakes the body down to the very foundations of its soul. Everything spins wildly out of control, an overwhelming hum--an itching buzz--crawling across the tissue of the brain. Yet, paradoxically, none of it feels real. The foundations of the earth below, the sky above, and the pressure of air in your lungs; nothing feels right. Solid. Extant. It is but a mere figment of a wildly out of control imagination, the heart growing hollow as the mind slowly numbs itself to reality."
I slowly drew in a breath, gaze cast towards the ground.
Something pricked at the corner of my eyes.
"Of course this isn't happening, you try to convince yourself. How could something so abhorrent be occurring right before me? Why wouldn't I act in defiance towards this disgusting twist of fate?" The corners of my mouth wavered. "Fight. Flight. Freeze. Pulse racing. Limbs frozen. Breath caught in the throat. Attempts at speech met with taut vocal cords and a pathetic whine as air wheezes out. Muscles tearing at the mere thought of movement. Then before you can muster the spark of a new, coherent thought, existence screams headlong into the ephemeral with a slow, agonizing surety. Everything becomes dust."
I chuckled quietly and drew my shoulders into a tight ball, wings hugging close. "...I failed my reality. I will not allow it to happen to another."
I am exhausted and about to head to bed, so when I come back and look upon the writing above, I may completely wipe it or just do some major revisions. We shall see when I wake, so I apologize if it reads rather strangely ahead of time!
That said, this precious bean. Not only are they the POV Protagonist and (possibly) hero, they are also the representative of myself in the online community. Their story is just as much their own as it is mine, though events from my life are obviously made fantastical so they are not clearly drawn parallels that anyone who once knew me could point at it and say, 'wait a minute...'
Every day I look at this picture on my laptop when I open it up to reinvigorate my desire to write our story and I have not gotten tired of doing so once. Massive thanks to Marrusa for their wonderful consideration and ability to bring ideas to life. The only information I gave them initially was that they should be a 'pangolin gryphon' with the beak 'being similar to the Occamy'. Beyond that, we hashed out numerous details together and they came up with a number of their own and the end result was this beauty.
For those who are interested in the feeling of Eden's story, you can hear the playlist I have put together for them here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AjNEE1UVgE&list=PLGq-g2zupISGfUbgUQ1Dry1SacjUNf5Y2">The Ashkar Legacy - Eden</a>
