“Who is in control?”

happy happy legend week!!

Last Day of Legend Week! I decided to make a digital version of an old drawing of June Iparis

A little June doodle from a long time ago (its the picture I used for my icon)

Legend week, day 2, ships In the afterlife Thomas X Metias The afterlife is a quiet place. It’s a place of peace, but sometimes punishment. It’s a place where lost families come together. It’s a place where lost relationships come to mend. Here in the after life, I like to watch them. A strong young man, here before his time, sitting at the edge of the after life, watching someone else. It isn’t a strange sight to see, I see it every day. The only difference of this is the way he looks at this man, living in a realm opposite of the one he now resides. This man watches the living man with eyes containing love. Now this doesn’t seem too different, but what caught my attention is the fact this young man was sent here through the hands of the one he watches with affection. I know, there will come a day the two will be united, so until that day comes, I’ll be patient. Time passes quickly here in the afterlife, I see new people every second, but every single day, this young man sits at the edge, watching over the other with eyes stronger than an eagle’s. This is the day I have marked. The day the man in the living realm joins the afterlife. Today I watched, side by side with this man. I watch a battlefield. I don’t understand what’s going on, and frankly, I don’t care. I just watch, counting down the milliseconds until his arrival. There it is, a gunshot to the head. His head snaps back and immediately, the man is right beside me. I watch as this new man looks down at his disease body. I watch as his eyes move from that to the man who sits at the edge every day. I see the same light in his eyes. I see his lips quiver, and form the word “Metias”. Tears stream from that man’s eyes as he embraces the other in a tight hug. The man, whom I now assume is Metias pulls him into an equally, if not stronger, embrace. The unnamed man is rambling on. I struggle to hear what he’s saying. He’s apologizing. It seems he’s apologizing through his waterfall of tears, saying he’s sorry for killing him. In this moment, I realize, these two loved each other before the afterlife. The man named Metias holds his lover’s face in his hands, giving him a warm smile. “It’s alright. I forgive you, Thomas. I love you and nothing will ever change that.” The man named Metias pulls his lover, Thomas, into a kiss. It’s a loving and deep kiss, one that holds thousands of emotions. Sadness and grief radiates from the kiss, but overpowering it is happiness and relief. Relief that the two lovers finally reunite. Metias pulls away from his lover, a smile playing at his lips. “I love you Thomas, and now we’re together again.” The two stayed together, never separated. As years and years go by, more people in this one family arrive. A family now complete through years of trauma. All the stories now shared in the afterlife.

hey am i allowed to do tye stuff for legend week

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been six years since this book came out. Time flies so fast, yeah? I wish I could’ve jumped into this train since the beginning, how did I miss something so amazing for 3 years? Wow! Because of this book series (and TYE and Warcross) I have met amazing people (you know who you are). I consider this fandom a family, cause even though we are small as hell, we are one badass fandom who has stayed together for the past six years. Yes, I know people leave our fandom because they grow, and although it makes me sad to see people go, I’m also happy because I know there will be people who are also coming in. I also want to appreciate those who have stayed after all these years. You guys are amazing!
