Unused Ideas 1: Mission The X (Kings & Queens)

So this is a post that I honestly love the idea of, but it didn't fit in anywhere and I honestly feel like it breaks the meta a bit too much... And by the end I ran out of ideas. This is, honestly, a very sparse post.

Into the night

I look sadly at the house, wishing that I didn't have to leave on such short notice. Skye is still asleep. I had left him a note, of course, but that didn't mean that I didn't feel like shit about it. But, orders are orders.

Desperate and broken

Many walk through the path tonight, young, masked, swaddled in black, angry, sad, wondering why. I had never heard of a gathering of Proxies before. And I'm sure that this was only the part that followed orders and were curious enough to come into the path. 

The sound of a fight

I watch as some people walk up to others and begin conversing, trying to see what our "Family" is really like. I have no such wants - I just want to get in and out as soon as possible. This feels like the Hunger Games and I want out. Also, I run the risk of finding that creeper Adrian again. I know that if I saw him again I'd kill him for touching me like he did, no ifs ands or buts. 

Father has spoken.

We all cease talking when we hear the song change. I suppose for each person it's different, but for me it turns into more of someone asking a crowd to settle down before an assembly. Father is there, in the centre of it all. He reaches out to the proxy closest to Him and wraps His tendrils around them. We're confused at first but soon we realize that Father is going to use this person as his mouthpiece. 

We were the kings and queens of promise

"Children"

The murmuring that began again is silenced. Father is using a small girl as his mouthpiece. It's jarring hearing His words and tone come out of her.

"Many of you are confused as to why I have asked you here my children"

We were the victims of ourselves

The little girl, now sitting atop Father's shoulders, smiled.

"Many of you have not been as..."

She stops, frowning. She didn't have a large enough vocabulary to accommodate what Father wanted to say. Ever so gently, he sets her down and released his tendrils form her. He chooses another mouthpiece, picking them up as well. This one was a twenty-something man who had some tattoos.

Maybe the children of a lesser God

"Many of you have not been as familial as I intended you to be."

Murmuring broke out, wondering what He meant. We supported each other, right? I mean yeah I'd love to kill Adrian but that's because he's a sleaze ball, it doesn't matter that he's a proxy. I've long-since realized this.

"Many of you wish death upon your Brothers and Sisters. Many of my children are not here. Many of your hearts betray me."

Father's faceless head turned in my direction and I glared at him, unwavering. Some of those around me gave me sideways glances, wondering what He meant.

Between Heaven and Hell,

"You are chosen for a reason, my children."

Heaven and Hell.

"This is the end, isn't it?" I hear someone whisper near me. I shake my head slightly in silent disagreement. I can still hear the song, seemingly unlike many around me. Or, perhaps, I'm better at interpreting the abstract sounds.

"No," I speak up, louder than intended. Many turn to look at me, including Father and his mouthpiece.

The age of man is over

"This is only the beginning. Listen to Father's song," I announce, voice strong.

"The noble child is correct. I have been trying, children, to guide you to my path and my way. Those who run from us, those who hide from their higher calling..."

A darkness comes at dawn

Reactions vary vastly from hero-worship to disgruntlement. No guesses at which groups I'm in. "I can't believe this," I mutter under my breath.

"Those who hide and those who are not involved, they are useless to us my children."

Some cries of agreement rise up out of the crowd, and the mob mentality starts to take over.

These lessons that we've learned here

"My dear children, we will make this world our own. You shall be powerful, you shall be respected. You will want for nothing, together we can shape this world how we have always wished it to be."

Have only just begun
