It is expected, an oath by blood to hold the tome


And the starlight passes overhead, fuels all the skills I've honed


I am a guardian, a watcher of these ancient rites


Yet I find myself drawn from that path, on those dazzling moonlit nights


Stolas holds up the small silhouette of the moon. He stares at it with sadness. He watches as it floats away from his hand he follows it, almost chasing after it.

Let me hold you, keep you close to me


I long to hear your voice


But dearest, I know better now


I must give you this choice


Stolas feels the stars even if they're magic burn his feathers.

 I can give you everything you need

Or do you want to hear me plead?


Just look my way, just look my way


Is there something more that I don't know


That you won't say 'til we've both grown cold?


The wonderful magic version of Blitzo grabbed his hand and danced with him. 

Just say, "Please, stay, look my way"


Tears fell from Stolas' eyes as Blitzo's figure started to fade, he chases after it with a need. 

This unspoken contract, a deed we forged for mutual gain

If that's all this was when you're not here


He doubles back on his knees and looks up at the enlarged moon.


What is this rooted pain?


I don't care that you're of lower station


Or primed to sate my dark temptations


Why can't you understand? Let me explain!


He reaches out, sadness, and tears in his eyes. His feather's sway even though there is no wind.

And I'm terrified, as I cry


To make these feelings true


What's left for me and my broken heart


If I cannot have you

He stays on his knees, holding a hand to his chest in anguish, and agony.

Unless it's me


And no matter what in this world I could give


It's not enough


To get through the walls you've conjured up to live


Is this what you feel?


Scorned by a realm that cannot comprehend


What you are


So I'll grant you this mercy, this bind on our souls needs to end

Stolas looks at the moon with mild anger, the sadness raging in his eyes like a wildfire, that couldn't be quenched.

I will try to make amends

For making you means to an end


So look my way, please, look my way

He lunges and misses the moon by just a little bit. He falls, but is willing to fall.

And if there's something more that I don't know
I'll save us both before we grow cold
If you'll stay, and just say, "Look my way"

He falls into the thick black water below. 

"Just, look my way...." 

I'll look your way| StolizWhere stories live. Discover now
