LifeDayDreams

“I don't like judging people, but sometimes I can't help it. I don't like talking behind people's backs, but sometimes I do. I just want to live a good life, but sometimes I can't.”

Love, Betrayal, Blood, but not Hatred.
Only cold revenge, and a son to complete the family.

"D" Section, a nonexistent military unit. "D" for dark, "D" for depth, "D"... for death.
It demanded no attachment, and Daemon sacrificed love for it. Years later, the death of his teammates made him feel that he had done enough for the country, so he came back to the city he grew in. But can what has been forsaken be gained back? Because now Evelyn, the one to have breathed vitality in his numb, orphaned heart, had her own life, and a little boy calling her mother. And while he left his life full of dead bodies behind, did that life really let him go?

From the ashes, will it love or...?

Comment and review, don't forget.

Love from the ashes

Daemon took in the comment without any change in his expression.

"But some people are more afraid of me being calm."

Ryan's response was non-committal, but his slowed movements and faded smile showed his inner feelings. After letting a breeze pass, he spoke again in a lower voice than before:

"You should have been clear enough. Why would they not leave you alone?"

"...Only a dead liability is a good liability. Me being alive is wrong."

Unlike the indifferent Daemon, Ryan clenched his hands over the work tool he was manning his stall with, before relaxing, and speaking as he turned over the meat:

"Then, will they become restless?"

Daemon lowered his gaze to his hands, then turned to look toward the smiling Evelyn.

It was not hope out of fear. It was hope because should what was being feared come to happen, it would call a storm, one that would only be fiercer.
