Description

The huge stone temple at the top of the village was entirely abandoned as Faulklin entered, looking about for guards or the Elder, but he saw none. The only figure was one wrapped in a large cloth at the far end, laid out across the alter, where a few torches provided light to see it.
He drew in a few apprehensive breaths as he walked silently forward and up the short flight of steps to where the body lay covered. He reached out a hand and tentatively pilled away the folds to see her face, still soft-looking and at peace, though he could be almost entirely certain she had not died that way.
He jumped as he thought he heard something and whirled around, scanning the long hall of the temple for some sort of enemy, but he saw nothing. For several beats, he didn't move, not trusting to turn his back just yet, but still nothing stirred. He supposed it had only been the crackle of one of the torches.
Turning around again, he put the folds back as they were and looked at the sword sitting parallel to her body, sheathed.
The sacred sword.
He had already formulated his plan and what he would have to do, and he would have to do it quickly. He couldn't risk being found here, much less found leaving. Much less to do what he planned on doing.
He reached a hand out to grasp the sword. He heard another sound. Someone grabbed him by the collar of his hood and violently wrenched him around, the lithe male choking out in surprise as he was lifted off his feet.
When he stopped, his single blue eye met silver.
"Y-you-" he started to stutter, his anger boiling over, struggling in Daijoudan's firm grasp and kicking out at the taller man. "You lowly, motherfucking, pompous, shit-stain, son of a bitch! You were supposed to be here to negotiate a truce and make peace! Because of you, she's dead! I should fucking kill you right now!"
"Shut up," Daijoudan spat, making the teen see red, kicking harder. If he weren't almost frothing like a rabid dog, he might have felt smug at the wince he managed to get out of the man as he hooked Daijoudan solidly under the ribs.
"Let me go!"
"Why?" Daijoudan demanded sternly, giving him a hard look. "You think I'd let your dumb ass just take the sword and go running off on your own with it?"
"None of your fucking business!" Faulklin snarled, barely of the mind to keep his voice down at all. The brown-haired young man finally tired of his struggles and fell limp, dangling and out of breath. "I'm going to bring her back…" he spat finally, huffing and glaring loathing at Daijoudan, simply daring him to say or do something to try to stop him. "I'm not going to let it end like this. I'm going to commit the forbidden, and bring her back."
Daijoudan stared at him for several long seconds, and every one that passed only made Faulklin's blood pressure rise all the higher.
"Not without me, you're not," Daijoudan finally stated, catching the boy off guard. Faulklin's eye widened.
"What the Hell do you mean 'not without me'?"
"I told you I'm not going to let your dumb ass go running off with the sword to do it alone."
Suddenly it clicked, and Faulklin wasn't sure whether to just sit there and stare in pure shock, or if he should be absolutely livid.
How dare he. How dare he?! After he had been the one to cause this atrocity in the first place!
"No. Fucking. Way. You've done enough!" Faulklin spat. Daijoudan's hold on his collar tightened, and it was suddenly much harder to breathe.
"Try and stop me, and I'll beat your ass so hard into the ground your teeth with grind to dust against the floor," Daijoudan promised in a low, dangerous, authoritative tone that managed to intimidate the smaller male, only adding to his fury. "Otherwise, make yourself useful, and retrieve my horse, before the entire fucking village and every soldier in a five mile radius becomes wise to our intentions."

===================================================

Haha!~<3 It's finally completely done, and I got the first chapter of the story written to boot! Guess whose doing a Shadow of the Colossus OC fic? And guess who's making pretty-boy and emo-boy the stars of said fic? Yee-up!

You guys can read it here! More chapters will be up soon-ish as I write them(also, you should check out some of my other fics >:3 )

P.S. those sparkly-sparkly thingies on Daijoudan's head are Houou feathers. Also... have I mentioned how much I love Daijoudan and Faulklin's threats against each other?

Shadow of the Colossus belongs to Team Ico
Faulklin, Daijoudan, Komeko, and Mamoru belong to me.
