Flowers of Heaven: ☆ZRAEL

There’s an odd sound, like stones grinding together.

Hopping around your legs and fluttering about your shoulders are what look like a number of gargoyles, each no more than a few feet high and in the traditional gothic cathedral style—and all animate, their flesh made of living rock. They hoot, yip, and howl at you to follow, leading you towards an arched doorway that has opened in the thick brambles and leads to a winding path beyond, chirping at you to follow.

Once you cross through, a gate closes behind you, and the voices of your fellow idols fade from your ears. It seems as if you’re on your own, now.

❀ ❀ ❀

Here, the brambles that surround your path are thick with shadow so dense it seems almost velvety, and the branches curl in strangely ornate shapes.

It seems that the gargoyles are carrying some things for you: a collection of sixteen different flowers, a small lantern of blue flame, and a wreath woven from blooming clematis, aconite, and wild roses.

[has recovered from his first burn, breathing heavy but steadily... however, something seems to be bothering him, from the way he clutches his head with one hand]

No, I know... I know, I know...

... know what?

[stares at her like he's seeing through her, or seeing something else, and then blinks a few times and shakes his head violently]

... Requiem?

Yeah? Who else?

... I... didn't notice you arrive.

[takes a deep, shaky breath and lets it out]

Surprise, here I am, ready to save the day or whatevs.

You alright?

I had one of my... flowers burnt out, last round. And I think... I'm seeing things. Remembering things. It's hard to focus.

... What?

Stop it... stop it, I don't want to die--!

[ ?! ]

Hey, you're fine, you're fine! What's going on with you?!

[jerks, startled, and blinks at eater]

... Man Eater.

[ exhales, regaining his composure after the moment of alarm. ]

... What, scared I'm gonna eat you or something?

No... I... I'm seeing things. Recalling things.

[still sticking close to him]

...

... Glory? Something else is happening.

What is it...?

I... I'm seeing things, I think. I can't stop... remembering.

[runs a hand over his face]

It's just... Zrael here, right?

...Yeah. Just us.

Hallucinations...? I can tell you if something's real.

Something like that. I know it isn't... real, but some part of me still feels like it is.

Nero... isn't here. He couldn't be. Right?

[ A... LARM... ]

--What now?

... I'm... seeing things. Remembering things.

[glancing at her, does a double take]

Who else is here? It's just the seven of us?

. . . It's just Zrael.

What do you remember?

... yesterday. When... Nero almost killed me. Ripping his arm off. Watching the blood spill...

[shudders]

I want to just--put it behind me.

Ugh.

Of course.

They're not even trying at this point.

Evidently not.
