Challenge/Prompt: #169 - Melancholy
Original Fiction or Fanfiction: Original
Characters/Pairings: Quinlan
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Disclaimer: Quinlan is miiiiiine.
Summary: A wizard that walks across universes, watching one.
Author's Notes: He's not always this sad though.
He sat on the dry earth, lotus style, head tilted back to behold the star-filled sky. Between his hands, resting lightly on his knees, a sphere took form. Within the sphere, a universe of stars, twinkling gently.
He watched the creeping darkness dim the little stars, rot creeping in from the edges toward the center. Centuries, millenia passed within the sphere in moments, and the mage watched the shadowed rot extend its tendrils toward the brightest heart. He threw soft tendrils of light at the sphere, without effect.
"I'm sorry," he whispered to the dying worlds, and banished the sphere.
