Elricest drabble - Rivers

[mikkeneko]

Dedicated to kaltia, who seemed down.

Title: River Valley, Mountain Home
Word Count: 150
Theme: River
Pairing: Light Elricest


In the desert there are no rivers; it's a plain of baking heat, empty of relief and landmark. There tempers flare, and voices snap, and not all the brotherly love in the world can keep them from cursing the heat, and each other, each wishing he could just be alone.

In the city there are no mountains, the city is built on a flood plain riddled with old aqueducts, and it is all level and flat as an inland sea of urban hubbub. There they can wander for days and be lost in that ocean of humanity, where nobody knows them at all, nobody cares, and be more alone than ever.

Someday, and he swears this to a God he doesn't believe in, someday he and Al will live again in a place that has mountains, that has rivers. Even if Al only needs them to get away from him.
