SHINK! The blood seeping through his uniform was sticky and disgustingly warm. He felt the rest of him going cold however. It felt like Death was coming for him again and he wasn't ready. He had just become... better. More whole. He wanted his family.

------------

How can I desert you?

How to tell you why?

Coachmen, hold the horses

Stay, I pray you

Let me have a moment

Let me say goodbye

------------

Damian sometimes missed the days where he was with his mother. She was... Harsh to say in the least but, he still loved her. She had done some... terrible things to him before. He knew it was bad. But it wasn't wrong to miss her when he felt lonely. However right now? He really missed his Dad.

------------

To bridge and river

Forest and waterfall

Orchard sea and sky

Harsh and sweet and bitter to leave it all

I'll bless my homeland till I die

------------

It felt incredibly lonely right now. He was being forced to leave his home. The best one he had ever known. With his... tolerable siblings. And he couldn't return to it ever. He couldn't return to mother ever. He couldn't return to father ever. A sob made his way into his throat. He wanted to at least say goodbye.

------------

How to break the tide?

We have shared our tears

And shared our sorrows

Though the scars remain

And tears will never dry

I'll bless my homeland till I die

------------

He didn't know if that was an option however. So he hoped someone was near as he felt his vision fading, hoped someone might hold him while he was beginning to feel so cold. But there was no one and he was alone. "I miss you..." A cough rattled through him and he was no more.
