"Where was the voices,
when she's at the hang of her sanity?
She doesn't want laments,
she wants delight."

***

Chalcedony gasped for air as he couldn't react immediately, it was too late for him to stop their fall, they were already being pulled by the bottom of the Abyss. If only he could demise gravity to stop them from falling, he already did. But his powers doesn't work that way. He tried thinking on what he could with the dark, with the shadows but he's not coming up with any idea. And besides, he's running out of time.

He noticed how Celestial gripped his body, and he clenched in anger. The fucking suicidal witch who just tried to kill the both of them was hanging on him for her dear life. He somewhere understand tho, she's just at the verge of her sanity, totally lost because of the events happening to her, she's triggered and bombarded with things she couldn't battle alone. And she's at the pit of her lone survival.

And Chalcedony must not care, he must not understand her either because who the hell is she in the first place. But instead of dropping the bomb on her to ignite her explosion, he held her tighter to keep their bodies against each other. And the poor girl embraced him tighter than he already did which annoyed him more. Furthermore, he couldn't battle her mid air because they're hundred or thousand meters away from death or who knows the fucking exact distance.

He needs to think fast on how they could survive the fall.

And what the fuck-- what the hell is the use of his wings if he couldn't save the both of them from the waving death beneath? He struggled in activating his levitation, he struggled opening his wings. Their fall was rapid, and his wings couldn't battle the rattling air.

"Fuck!" He gritted his teeth, "Fuck!"

Chalcedony was struggling big time. He couldn't take the rapid air, their rapid fall, his wings has finally opened but he couldn't control it since the air slapping them both was too much. He need to somehow stop themselves from falling to atleast control his wings, they're stumbling hard.

"Hold on!" He yelled at the girl and she eventually held tighter, almost choking him.

He beamed his sword and strike it on the land, it created a loud sound and thundering impact on his body. He felt his hands burned, the pain rushed through his veins and immediately affected his body. But he did not let go of the sword, he will not let go until it breaks. And he knows his sword will not break, so he will never let go.

His biceps firmed, his concealed muscles appeared as he gave his everything to stop their massive fall. His clenching teeth made sound, his lips tear, he tasted his own blood. He gain his composure for a massive concentration. And with the remaining strength he has, he yelled in a bit panic and annoyance as he opened his wings to take full control.

"ARGH!" His voice was loud enough but still it did not reach the bottom meaning the hollow was really deep.

He held on his sword tight, his wings opened and his levitation activated. And finally, he was in total control. He could finally fly. He gasped, catched his breath and beamed his sword to conceal it. Then his hand ran over the poor girl's small waist who just let out a small whimper.

He stilled for a moment, regaining his composure, his lost strength.

Then he rolled his eyes, "Ayan, bitaw na. Hahayaan na kitang mamatay, bitaw na."

Gumuhit ang ngisi sa kaniyang labi nang sa halip ay humigpit ang pagkakayakap sa kaniya ng babae.

"Ayaw mo naman palang mamatay, ang dami mo pang arte." Saad niya atsaka niyakap ito pabalik ng mahigpit, "Hold on, I'll lift us both. If you struggle, I will devour you."
