"Tell me Noah, how do you view death? Would you look vast and far to seek it or would you wait till the time is right? I know this view right now in front of you really expresses its depth of displeasure to you, but won't you answer me this?" Edwin said with a strained voice as his eyes glistened in the red moonlight. He looked past the sea of blood toward the horizon as if he was stuck in his own mind.
Noah sighed as he looked down at Edwin sitting with his legs dangling off the edge. He watched his old friend's blonde wavy hair breath with the passing wind. Time passed as Edwin was waiting for the answer with nothing but faint breathing from beind him.
Edwin turned his head toward Noah to see the black elaborate attire he wore and blood covering his once innocent face. He would not had imagined the view he was seeing before him. Softly he gave a light chuckle before standing up and dusting off the dirt on his pants.
Noah stood in silence and looked at Edwin but the difference was the unmistakablely cold death glare that contrasted the light hearted smile Edwin gave him. He stood still as the blood from where he walked gave a trail and the rotten smell has came from behind him. It was as if time was stopped as the two looked at each other with saddened faces.
Noah lifted his left hand toward the hilt of the sword and slowly pulled out the sword covered in blood but gave a slight glimmer in the moonlight. He pointed it right at the neck of Edwin, oddly Edwin did not faulter that light hearted smile and simply walked forward until the sword was making a light cut.
"Tell me Noah, did you plan our deaths in this manner or was this some kind of ill fate." Edwin said as he looked at Noah's dull eyes with a hint of sadness.
Noah pulled back the sword and walked forward.
Slash.
Noah held Edwin as he was in his embrace with the sword etched into his chest, right at where his heart is. He watched as the blood dripped from his hands. Edwin's hands reached up to Noah's face and a blood flowed from his mouth.
"I'm sorry I forced this upon you." Edwin said as he saw the shocked look from Noah. "But, would kill with me next time too?"
Noah quickly pulled out the sword from Edwin's chest and saw him stumbled backwards toward the cliff. Watching this he knew what his plan was and threw the sword at the ground before running toward Edwin and reaching out his hand.
Edwin smiled before he leaned back and closed his eyes. Noah looked desperately at him and falling to his knees as he breathed heavily. He quickly crawled to the edge and without any thought jumped.
"No!" He said as he reached toward Edwin that was still bleeding.
Noah opened his arms as he fell and embraced Edwin who had already lost consciencness. He closed his eyes and tighted the grip of his arms around Edwin before reaching his hands toward Edwin's face slightly warm. He passionately gave him a kiss and the moonlight shown with the blood on the dirt ground across the land covered in corpses.
Tears could be see in Noah's eyes and he softly embraced Edwin as he fell for what felt like eternity and darkness took over.
———————————
Noah opened his eyes to see a darkened room and strangers around him the he felt something wet drip fro his nose. He wiped it before he realized it was a nose bleed.
Oh, I have to clean this up.
Noah quickly got out of the bed that he was in and put his had under his nose and went to the bathroom that he had somehow already knew the location of. He turned on the light and closed the door behind him then started to wash off the blood before looking up at the mirror to see a unrecognizable face.
Who is that? Where am I? Wait, who am I?
Noah thought to himself before sudden headache came and he started to remember his past life. He was Noah Von Neville, who died midair while enbracing Edwin who was the crown prince.
He noticed the nose bleed stopped and saw the place he is in is different from where he once lived. There were similarities when he was walking over but it felt very different.
Calmly he walked out the bathroom after cleaning up the blood and walked out the balcony to see a whole new world.
What is this place.
The area was covered in lights, unseen before from what he knew and th only thing that came to mind was:
I am in a different universe.
He stood there admiring the view before looking back to see the clock by the bed he was in.
I am Noah Hearth in this world, was I reincarnated? For some reason I remember my years before gaining consciousness, I should go to bed though it is rather late in this world.
Going back to the room he felt comfortable and understood this is his home. He walked over to the bed and got under the sheets. Warmth embraced him and he fell into slumber.
Maybe this is th restart I needed
———————————
Bright lights rushed over as he opened his eyes and he could hear chatter from out his door. With his eyes opened he saw the room in a more clearer view, the white walls clear and clean and different things around the room. The closet was closed and there was a desk by the window that had curtains which was also close to the balcony which also had curtains.
In a daze he could hear his sisters' voices arguing with each other. Walking out to check the commotion he saw similar faces uncanny from his past life of his siblings.
"Look who decided to wake up, well if it isn't the Cold Duke of the North." The girl with black long hair said as he gave a teasing smile.
"Says you Amelia, you would be the villainess from the same household!" The younger girl said as his hair was being pulled.
