Shadows & Illusions ; Zed x LeBlanc

Lifeless. Almost lifeless. He felt the blood gushing from his wounds, the poison running through his veins. Powerless, he'd rest on his knees, his vision blurry and mind empty.

The crimson eyes that once shined piercingly through his mask, now dull and empty.

He longed for a reason to live; To keep living. He silently awaited death's cold embrace, only to be awakened by the warmth of hers.

For years he longed for acceptance, to feel compassion once more. That was something he and Emilia shared.

But not one day in his life would he have ever thought that he would see eye to eye with another. Not one day did he ever believe that he would meet someone who understood him, who's seen the same things and fought the same battles.

That one night. That one faithful night he was reborn a new man. That one night where he saw eye to eye with someone.

That one night where he felt complete.
