Curiosity killed the cat, or say they say. [break][break]
It had certainly killed his sister, though she’d been much more of a dog than a cat in terms of personality, and the satisfaction hadn’t quite brought her back from the dead. Well, since her story didn’t run at all there really wasn’t much satisfaction, he supposed. Even in the afterlife. Or heaven. Though, knowing the pranks she’d pulled, it was most certainly hell.[break][break]
Nothing at all had brought her back. Not tears, not desperation.[break][break]
In this stratum, all is temporary, or so said great philosopher Morgan Oswald. [break][break]
Did he ever hear the one about the cat being brought back, though? Wasn’t that important question here? Was that the motivation necromancers used for their work? Yes, it must be. The imagery was simply too hilarious to not be that.[break][break]
It’s been five days and Julius still hears his parents crying. But why do they cry so much? It’s a process of overcoming grief someone had told him. But all grief was made better by action and only action. What would crying do?[break][break]
It would be as useful as satisfaction to the dead cat.[break][break]
And if there was nothing you could do, was there any need to feel frustration? The incident had already been locked away. Covered in a pile of jokes, lies, and cleverly dodged questions, a pile of easy smiles and a lot (a lot) of cigarettes.[break][break]
What sister?[break][break]
The university sent him a letter-- continuous absences followed up by failing grades were beneath their standard for education.[break][break]
That was okay. What they taught was beneath his thirst for knowledge anyway.
Was he going to be a journalist and follow in the footsteps of his sister?
People started asking bolder questions after a year or so had passed. A year was apparently the standard period of recovery. It was enough time to relive, to forgive and to forget. Hah. The joke was on them. He’d only forgotten it. Reliving it was too painful. And forgiveness was way higher than his current moral ground.[break][break]
His sister was capable of forgiveness. But his sister was dead.[break][break]
And for that very reason there was no way he’d follow her footsteps. The fiery depths of hell could wait a few more decades before claiming its own, thank you very much.[break][break]
But he adored his sister. Admired, loved, respected. All the fancy words he doesn’t toss around as easily any more, for fear of them getting attached to yet another temporary figment of the outer strata (thank you, Oswald!). But he’d hung on every word she’d said. And one word, in particular, hung around long after her body had left the noose;[break][break]
Truth.[break][break]
Bonfires, off-beat karaoke nights, horror-stories and bluffing merchants out of their craft. There were a lot of things that could fill the void when time was too busy moving forward to heal all wounds. It was easy to slip into the life of a traveler, easy to be whole-heartedly distracted by the fascinating lore of a new place or the pretty eyes of foreign girls.[break][break]
One thing led to another, and in a series of unfortunate events the group of university-graduates (and him, the misplaced dropout) accidentally ended up saving a rather large restaurant from being destroyed.[break][break]
They had all been given invitations to different covens, pleas to settle down and take their time with Sundial. And who were they to refuse a chance at paradise?[break][break]
But Julius had already seen a glimpse through the walls of normalcy. It was time now to tear them down and leave nothing but ashes behind.
