🖤 Zed: Loss 🖤

Sad boi hours angst Requested by: kaszmirowakawa

"Hey, Zed?" You caught him before he left.

"Yes?"

"Be safe, okay?.." you said in a hushed tone, looking down at the ground full of red and orange Ionian leaves. He turned around to fully face you.

"Do not worry," his distorted voice sounded through his helmet, "I am always careful." You felt a hand softly touch the top of your head, making you look back up at him. "You, too. These days, anything can happen."

"R-Right." You frowned. Zed lifted his hand and nodded to you, "Then, I am off. I will see you again." And just like that, he disappeared from your view, leaving nothing but your own shadow resting on the ground. You held your arms, and walked back inside your home, crushing autumn leaves under your feet in the process. You would not see your beloved for a long, long time.

.

It was now the first day of spring, and you hummed to yourself as you made your way around your Ionian home, sweeping the floors. As you were nearing your kitchen area, your ears caught the sound of your doorbell ringing. You took a breath and set your broom aside, walking up to your front door. You creaked it open, "Yes?"

A person covered in an old cloak, carrying a decently sized sack, stood at your front porch. "Are you... (Y/N)? (Y/N) (L/N)?"

Your fingers clung to the side your doorframe. "Yeah..?" You eventually answered.

"I... have terrible news." The person warned you, to which you gulped. "I am here to inform you that Zed, Master of the Shadow Order, has died." Your eyes widened and you felt your heart drop. Your mouth opened to react, but only a shaky breath came out. "His young successor was wielding a Darkin Scythe which managed to possess him, I guess you could say. He was reported to have lost control and is responsible for the deaths of multiple acolytes in the Order.... Zed was caught in the massacre."

You still, said nothing. Eventually, you managed to get out, "..How do you know who I am?"

"We have found a hidden collection of letters by Zed. All were addressed to you, but were never sent. They were all written during the winter of his mission." The stranger stated, reaching into their sack before pulling out a large envelope, filled to the brim with letters. You felt your eyes water, but looked to the stranger with a quivering smile, "..Thank you."

They pulled down their hood, "Again, I deeply apologize for your loss. Please, stay safe." And with that, they walked away, and you were left alone with nothing but the letters and your own shadow, again. You trembled as you walked back into your house, crushing the lush green Ionian grass underneath your feet in the process. You then softly closed the door behind you, letting your back lean on it.

You clutched the rather large envelope to your chest, letting yourself slide to the ground. You attempted choking back a sob, but failed miserably as you let a few more tears down. Once you finally took a sharp breath, reality hit you, and all your kept tears were now streaming down your face. All that could be heard was your sniffles and silent screams.

Once you were, somewhat, calm, you peeked at the big envelope, tear stains slightly covering it. You wiped the area underneath your eyes, and shakily ripped open the envelope. You flipped through the letters, scanning the dates.

Realizing they were already in order, you carefully pulled them out and began reading them.
