The Grim Retreat

[exile]

The great gears of Mechanus slowly turned about their axes, driving the unfathomable engine of the multiverse inexorably closer to… something.

To what?

Nothing… thought Hadrian. Its all a farce. A grim, miserable farce.

It was a morning much like any other in the Gatehouse, but for Hadrian something essential had fled during the night. His will was gone. His limbs were leaden. His eyes were dry from his unseeing stare. Even to breathe was an effort he could hardly endure.

Somewhere in the corridors beyond, a woman was sobbing. He envied her ability to feel.

It would be so simple just to stop…

So simple to cease to be…

At some point during the night, the aasimar had slipped into the Grim Retreat. It was a place that claimed the lives of all Bleakers in the end, but which the strong might return from on occasion.

They were never quite the same of course.
