The metallic grinding washed over him again. He waited with bated breath and focused harder than yesterday. He wanted to hear it, wanted to know it was true; even if it was all a fabrication out of delirious need.

There it was again. A voice. No. A chorus of high pitched whining that raked his thoughts.

The mechanical heart beat had driven him beyond madness. The sound of screeching gears and blistering steam reverberated through his torn and blistered flesh. The pain spoke to him.

He wanted more.

Not having felt this alive in seasons, he yearned for this new found reality deep within the womb of mother. She was dying, poisoned by her own get. It was deliciously ironic.

Voices flittered around him once more, like chiding faeries bend on torturing him until the midnight suns burned out.

'...again...' the grinding voice sang.

It had felt like ages before he realized what they meant. With every fiber of his being, he twisted and turned in the dark oblivion in a feeble attempt to respond. Flesh and blood betrayed him again. He could feel himself wretch his insides out again, acid burning his singed lips.

He could feel his response cradled deep inside, a malevolent seed planted moons ago. He called to it by name.

Cold fingers reached out and pressed the searing band across his forehead. The metal band formed around his skull, the sound of sizzling flesh quickly drowned out by tormented screams. He had invited this upon himself he recanted. This was of his own accord.

No one to blame.

'...more...'

Sutra jilted awake in the cold sweat he had come to expect. He lay staring motionlessly up at the early morning sky through verdant canopy. The stars had begun to fade away in the approaching glory of the sun.

A new day would soon dawn on the kingdom once more, lighting the path back home.
