Epilogue To Amaimon's Death

Improved Essays
Dying was…dying was…agony and yet eventually he couldn’t feel it anymore. Mephisto’s body stopped twitching, his tail quit whipping about. Despite this the time King wasn’t completely still, on the outside he could not move, could not cry out, could not focus his eyes on Amaimon’s heart any longer, but he did move. He breathed. Quick, shallow, painful movements forcing air in and out of his lungs. The air was as stifling as floor, torturously hot, boiling, thick like lava. His breathing became faster and faster as it felt as if his lungs were burning. He coughed and although Mephisto had not moved for what felt like hours in his agony addled mind he jerked violently. His body beginning once more to convulse violently as his insides began to …show more content…
Mephisto’s teeth attempted to bare themselves, a pitiful growl rising up in his throat. Shouldn’t Amaimon be happy!? Shouldn’t he be glad!? He hated Mephisto, the earth King had said so himself. Wouldn’t his death just take him out of his younger brother’s way? Amaimon would be one sibling shorter and one rank higher. If anything his life would be better. “LET GO! LET GO!” He screamed, begging Amaimon to leave, begging his take himself and his face that was his mate’s but no longer his husband’s away so he could die. So he could forget. Move on. Not hurt anymore. His fists managed to raise themselves, punching Amaimon repeatedly in the stomach. It would not hurt him however. The time King was weak, his bones brittle, muscles exposed. His movements even weaker than a small upset child having a fit. ‘I don’t want you! I want him! I want my earth!’ Tears filled his eyes as his anger dissipated, consumed by anguish which turned to sorrow, his will to push Amaimon away failing 'I want my mate…I want my husband…my flower. I want him, I need him. I want to die….I want to say …show more content…
'NO,NO, NO, NO!’ “…Otouto please…please!” ’SAVE ME!’ Fear filled him, worse than anything he had ever felt. Even worse than when he realized Amaimon had lost his memories. He was dying in Amaimon’s arms, killing himself and his mate was watching. Watching him suffer, scream, break, and burn in agony. He’d yelled for him to go away, he pushed himself away. 'Please! Please! I don’t want to die! Not with you here, I don’t want this! Save me please!’ His hand griped Amaimon’s shirt tightly, a few of his fingers breaking and he sobbed. How could he, how could he give up so quickly? And now the love of his life was forced to watch “please! Please!” He met Amaimon’s eyes and pleaded silently with the bright blue “t-the circle…break the c-circle!” His vision began to fade and his eyes dulled, his grip loosening considerably ’please…I want to

After all, it was the first sound he heard that didn't involve Gabe whining or him shuddering due to the vast coldness of the winter breeze. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As Jonas and Gabriel tried to keep up to reach the unusual sound that was coming from above, he couldn't help but notice that the planes were starting to come back. All of a sudden, Jonas’s face changes from a light shade of apricot to complete paleness as his eyes glance up the sky. Only to see a banner hanging from the plane, “CHANGE STARTS NOW”.…

    In Plato’s Symposium, multiple philosophical thinkers discuss, argue and critique the abstract concept of love and eros. Each thinker had their own fascinating way of describing this phenomenon, but two philosophers- Aristophanes and Diotima- sparked more questions and arguments than any others. Aristophanes was a famously known comical poet in the ancient times and Diotima was a woman who Socrates claimed to met years back who passed on her wisdom on the subject of love. Although both speeches are completely different in style, tone and context, both Aristophanes and Diotima essentially build off of each other’s ideas. Aristophanes's speech focuses on love being a desire for wholeness and instead of refuting this, Diotima criticizes this…

    Death is something many people fear. It can come when you least expect it, in a blink of an eye. It is a way of life and no one can prevent from happening. In Edgar Allan Poe’s short story The Facts In The Case of M. Valdemar, published in December of 1845 the readers see how symbolic death is in this story; the readers can also see how mesmerism plays a role in the stopping of death, and how the main character M. Valdemar has a man vs. man conflict.…

    The Love of a Mother: Amata’s Perverted Love for Turnus While love takes many forms, the love that a mother expresses is often viewed as sacred and cherished. However, in The Aeneid, Virgil highlights Amata’s perversion of maternal love into romantic love for Turnus. Throughout the course of Book VII continuing through Book XII, Amata acts as both a mother and a wife towards Turnus. Paul Burke in his work, “Virgil’s Amata” comments on how, “Virgil has combined in Amata the roles of the hero’s wife and mother; the Latin queen’s feelings toward Turnus are those maternal and wifely emotions which she so inadequately expresses toward her own daughter and husband,” (Burke 26). Consumed by her love for Turnus, Amata led down a path of madness and destruction.…

    Love, according to Webster, is “a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties.”. For some, this definition of love expresses the way people develop a mutual understanding of one another to attain a level many are unable to reach. Others may believe love can happen by the chance of a glimpse and bind them together by that unknown force without any preceding knowledge of the person. In The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, the “Knight's Tale” shows that love is greater than any other power. Chaucer composed the tale to convey the idea that love brings about unforeseen outcomes.…

    Constancy In Cupid

    • 4 Pages

    Cupid is emblematic of the constancy of the sonneteer’s love as induced by the female object. As the sonnets progress, he becomes the object of her attention and her criticism, before she finally moves away from both Venus (Wroth, Crown Sonnet 9) wherein she rejects him for her “sunne”, and Cupid (Sonnet 103) (who seems to become a sort of surrogate for her love interest, as well as the representative of her own desire) to a higher form of love that transcends both passion and longing . Shift seems to reject female sexuality, and the lesbian exploration that comes with it, in favor of marital (or at least heterosexual) constancy, and the higher love that comes with it. This is further reflected in the corresponding plot of Urania, wherein…
