There's a beauty in falling down to the earth, burning as your eyes watch from the center of the flame and your life flashes before your eyes. Icarus knew this. He knew that if he got too close to the sun he would crash into the earth as a fiery meteor, yet he did it anyways.
Unlike some people think, as he fell he smiled, and he laughed, his arms spread wide open. "Daedalus look at me! I'm free!" is what I assume he yelled as he toppled. There's a beauty in falling, in it all crashing and burning. There's a beauty in crashing when you should be flying, when you should be soaring.

Age of Decimus: The Division
Summary: There are many unanswered mysteries on the "planet" of Ganymede, especially for the people who took refuge on this icy moon. No one questions the supreme leader's way of keeping harmony and order, everyone except for Ina Andromeda. It was never Ina's intention to tear down The Society, but when she is forced to divide into the Capitol and leave her sick mother behind, like many others, her spirit cannot stand for it, and in the process, she falls in love. BLIP: The dry air made it difficult to take in a breath and I had a dire need to grip and dig my nails into my thighs as the aura of Ernesh brought chills up my arms; I could not see him, but it was evident he wasn't far from reach. "The longer you stand there in silence, little lyōbo, the more you irk me," his gruff voice called out behind the forcefield as it trickled down to his feet, the pixelated particles vanishing before my eyes like icicles. Once the veil was removed, a tall young man with dark eyes and silver hair, almost too pretty to be seen as evil, stared at me with a cold glare of hatred and curiosity; he was not at all what I had expected.

"This is killing you.." He looks at me with sadness in his eyes. "You do know this, right?" Looking out into the night sky, I looked at the stars above that were millions of years away.

The Journalist, The General, and The Pirate
Decades. He'd wasted decades of his life doing what? Chasing the minuscule sparks of passion to ease the aching void in his chest? Wasn't there something better? Someone to guide him away from the misery? Distract him from the life he couldn't escape from? There were days he didn't know which way was up and where the sea began. Where the skies collided with the dirt and delved into the inferno of the hells. The whispers of creatures that should have had no interest in a mortal caressing the shell of his ears. Beings he believed to be just as mortal as himself and if one observed their flaws they might have been. Walking the city grounds and sailing the oceans as easily as anyone. Blockades of fire and ice prevented their hands from intertwining. Now he balanced atop the wall. Grabbing both with shaky arms and keeping them close. Please don't leave. Fangs and claws used to claim him. Gentle kisses and caresses to calm him. Breathless words pulled him deeper into the madness. Further into inky darkness speckled with blinding light. Granting him everything he never knew he'd wanted. A dream come reality. Strange how love could spark from pain. How fickle. And how much he only wanted more.
