~* The clamor of death wrought screams, shrieking witnesses,
over turning implements of medical use
& the clash of breaking glass calls Levi Kain & SilentKnight to alarm..
Levi hastily tosses another 3 gold marks upon the bar counter
& dashes up the great stair with Silent Knight in a tow at a vaulting pace..
Weapons at the ready, LK & SK , round a last bend onto the EFC's medical wing .
Their eyes trail back from the colorful shards of glass that litter the hall from the shattered window, back again along the trail of blood,
into the room, where the victims who'd shed that trail of gore now laid pale & lifeless..
A whimpering noise from beneath a far table is the only sign of life..
Levi Kain rushes forward & drags an orderly from her quaking shadow hole..
She babbles & shrieks with less than NON sence..
" What has happened here ? ! "
Three times Levi Kain demanded the same, simple question
& each time he was answered with less coherent tormented bablings...
Levi Kain drew the wretch up & off her feet with one hand as he punctuated his question yet again
This time making each word clear with a sweeping slap across her face.
" I * SAID * WHAT * HAS * HAPPENED * HERE ! * "
The clap of an open hand against more vulnerable flesh rings out again & again
But only screamks of pain & blubbering madness answer,
until the Titan ' Silent Knight ' catches Levi Kain's wrist
& states with a surprising gentelness..
" That, is enough, Father... "
Levi looks first at his held wrist, & wonders when exactly had he balled his hand into a fist ?..
He then looks with shame to the weeping, bruised woman,
His arms go limp..
The fist falls open & his grip on the orderly's tunic is released.
Silent Knight let go of Levi's arm & cradled the woman afore she could fall.
Levi Kain crumples back against a wall, wishing he could undo all he'd just done
& what he might have done...
Silent Knight held the beaten orderly like a tiny babe,
Soothing & caressing 'till the sobbing had stoped..
The woman at last whimpered
" It, it was Xedanis, um, Mr Xedanis.. The Angel.. Mr Xedanis .. "
Her words caught in her throat disbelieving..
~* Madness it seemed had swallowed the world
& all who now swam in it were to choke on it's bile as surely as they breathed *~
