The sunken sides of mud and stone framed the hollow earth, as a shimmer of silver fluttered through the track, the sunlight refracting into rainbows in every which direction, defying all laws of nature as the earth flittered with flecks of gold, humming with life as a pale hand swung towards the floor, lifeless and still even as the fragile body took a short, shallow and shuddering breath.
The hoard stopped, their boats crunching into the laden track as a force held their bodies from moving forwards. The dead stood watching, hidden to the mortal eye, protected by a seal no living creature could cross, their crowns and robes marred with rust whilst shinning in heavenly beams.
Leaden legs tumbled to the ground, the sunken force pushing out of comforting arms and towards the the silver veil. Slender fingers grasped at the glimmering barrier, pushing against the living-liquid as they weary boy sought refuge amongst those long passed.
A deafening crack of thunder tore through the previously calm skies, angry clouds rolling against the beaming sun as the men draped in blood sobbed against the lifeless sparrow's body, their palms grasping at the coarse, thin material of the servant's shoulders, chest, legs.
Lightning struck the pale shadow, a spark of nature searing through the form, pushing it away from safety and back into the mouth of the lion, pushing the secret keeper's being against the fangs of a viper.
The mortal shell was struck, and a spire of golden light draped over the pale form, a flare of molten liquid encompassing both the iris and whites of stunned eyes.
