Now for (short) ficcage...

Tiresias, this is kind of for you . What can I say, I like to keep my promises?

Spoiler for One By One:

First
Of all the things the Ace of Aces had survived through, it was almost ironic that something so small would bring her down.

But that was how all heroes died, Fate knew.

Heroes are made through the large, world-changing events.

But they always died in the forgotten battles.


Second
Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.

That was the truth Vivio had grown up with.

The truth that she had never known was a lie until the Admiral handed her Bardiche, broken and cracked, and told her that her mama had died for a great cause.


Third
We will always be with you, the Wolkenritter had promised her.

They lied.

The darkness coming for her took her alone, and her knights did not follow. Oblivion was a relief, because Heaven would have been a hell, alone.


Fourth
Beings like her were hard to kill.

She had never really tried to do it before, even when she had been in despair and rage once. At the time, she had been glad, since she hadn’t really wanted to kill.

But she knew that her Inherent Skill was good at killing beings like her.

Yes, it had to be.

Spoiler for Author's Note:

I had threatened to do it, and now I have! These are just the first four, I have a long list of characters I can work through when inspiration strikes . Like, er, how it had struck me tonight....

I must be feeling even more jaded than usual (had wondered if that was still possible at one point)... but these were... not as sad as they should have been. I felt they were strangely appropriate.
