Title: Fleeting Dream
Author: Nessie
Canon: Tales of Innocence
Spoilers: for their past lives
Characters/pairing: Orifiel, Asras
Rating: all audiences
Warnings: character death

All of Heaven should feel pain when Lord Himmel dies, but all Orifiel feels is a blanket of numbness around him. He barely sees Asras in time to duck down so that his head doesn't follow the swipe of Durandal's blade. He wonders immediately if he should have stayed put.

Asras pauses in his sword practice to look down. "I didn't make it," Orifiel says. "We're too late."

If the demonlord feels any sympathy, it's hidden by the bloodlust. "Don't worry, Orifiel, they will pay."

Orifiel shakes his head. He moves away, tasting bitterness and seeing nothing but Himmel's face.
