" I will find you in a burning sky, where the ashes rain in your mind ; 

A drop of blood or a drop of blue, the two colours merging into the chaos unleashed inside of her disconcerted mind.

She was breathing heavily as she felt like a spectator, barely controlling her own body let alone able to push through the amount of emotion her dilemma awakened.

Everyone realized that they were witnessing a breathtaking scene, exceeding all of the expectations as the match's meaning went beyond its obvious message.

As Sasha stood over h i s motionless body, possibly seconds away from the usually agreeable sound of the ringing bell, guilt and regret swallowed her whole.

The chemistry she'd built with him along the years was shining through, earning an ovation that no other event received in what seemed to be ages.

But it was because of that same bond's value she couldn't help but remained frozen still, frightened at the thought she might just let hatred and grudge devouring her once more.

She out of anybody had that hurtful certitude : contrasting with body's wounds, even a lifetime couldn't be enough to heal one heart's scars.

Magic unfolded in front of an entire universe, captivated by the authenticity and the emotion carried by both parties involved, in awe as they comprehended that in that special moment, time stood still.

Would a hungry woman, fierce defender of gender equality, give up one of the most special links she ever had in order to make an impactful statement ?

Would a fragile angel suddenly exchange her wings and the purity it represents to carress the coveted skies' infinity, before being abruptly sent back to the demons' den ?

The same questions kept repeating themselves in both the wrestlers' minds, easily connected by years spent taming one another.

Sasha's teary eyed contrasted with the firm grip she was holding still around the chair's cold material - not as much as how frozen her heart would once again become if she'd dare striking the decisive blow.

" N o

M e r c y "

The audience started chanting in order to help her snapping out of her phase, hoping that what they paid to see would actually take place before their animal eyes : a massacre.

One drop of blue dripping from her heavy heart, a meaningful sentence that he effortlessly read on her contorted lips and the resonating sound of a chair hitting the canvas that would echo forever at their ears as the ultimate proof of loyalty.

One moment of hesitation and she was convinced that guilt and sorrow wouldn't haunt her down this time, her soul tainted by an agreeable set of warm emotions while she gave up on her utopia, putting h i s safety first.

One moment of hesitation and it was enough for their bond to get ruined forever.

A raging entity launched himself at Banks, aiming to kill - devouring her hopes, tearing apart an optimism that she had fought months of darkness and doubt to rediscover.

" Did you forget everything I've taught you ? " The mocking tone of the man she's just spared barely reaches Sasha as her brain abruptly stopped functioning.

The only one who was able to crack her code just shut down the used up processor.

The only person alive who managed to reach through to her, reviving a semblance of trust in human nature just deprived her from her illumination.

Instead, he stole the light out of her heart and plounged it in a sea of darkness - only occasionally switching it on so she could contemplate what she could never obtain again : serenity.

warning - The opening scene is actually a scene that will unfold later in the book, which is why I did not write anything about the man's identity haha.

Basically it is like in those movies you're getting what is happening mid-way right at the beginning and then slowly understand how / why it unfolded that way - because I'm a sucker for mystery, yep.

I am extremely excited about that new project of mine because I've basically realized that nobody except S+S could inspire me that much.

This the Glory & Gore's Sequel I've been thinking of writing for a while so hopefully, you'll enjoy it as much as the first.

ps ; don't worry, this book will be a little more on the bright side than the dark if I have it my way - but again, I love drama so much so you never know haha.

+ An intergender match, really ? Ha of course I had to write about it at some point & what about that guy's identity huh.

+Maybe Seth is back at it again, letting rage consumed him or maybe is it somebody else ?
