A Slow Recovery - Sanegiyuu

5 - Flying

3rd person's pov:

Giyuu recollected himself, he carefully folded the cloth and tucked it in his pocket. He stood up, brushed the dirt of his uniform and made his way to his estate.

...

When he got back home, he went into his bedroom and took out a pen and a piece of paper. He wrote a short letter on the note, folded it up and left it on his table. He placed the remains of his haori next to the paper and exited the estate.

...

The brunette hiked up a small cliff that was in his neighbourhood. When he reached the top, he sat at the edge of the cliff, swinging his legs as he breathe in the fresh air. The view on top of the cliff was amazing, it looked stunning. The brunette could see the small towns that was bustling with life dotting the land, he saw rice mills that stretched far into the east and farmers who worked tirelessly to harvest the rice. The wind on the cliff was refreshing, the chirping of the birds filled in the empty silence and the tree leaves rustled in the wind.

Giyuu's pov:

I sat at the edge of the cliff, below me was a body of water that connected to a river. I looked around and notice that the cliff was alive, I saw ants carrying their dead prey to their nest and birds which chirped loudly. Squirrels could be seen climbing up trees and small bees flew around the patch of wild flowers that was beside me. The air felt nice, I felt at peace for once. My mind was quiet, I sat there enjoying the nature that surrounded me.

...

I sat there for quite a long period of time, the sun was already setting and the animals had returned home. Orange and purple streaks gradually mixed into the blue sky and the sun was slowly dipping into the horizon. I got up and stood near the edge. It was strange how peaceful I felt it was probably because my death was coming. I took off my shoes and placed them neatly to the side. I untied my hair, letting my long black locks of hair fall below my shoulders. I placed my hair tie next to my shoes and I faced the sky. The breeze tickled my face and my hair fluttered in the wind. I felt happy, I could finally sleep forever. A small smile formed on my face as I looked down at the body of water. I stepped forward, allowing myself to fall. I felt like I was flying, the wind whizzing past me as I fell to my death. I felt my back hit the water. The cold water engulfed me, dragging me down to the bottom. I breathe in the water, allowing my lungs to be fixed with the clear liquid. I stared at the water surface, watching it getting further and further away as I sunk to the bottom. The water was so clear, I could see fishes swimming around me curiously, I could see the bubbles I breathe out floating to the top, I could see the dark blue night sky and I could see the gray clouds. I closed my eyes, feeling at peace while my conscious slipped out of me.
