The Great Maw was silent, it's gaping crevace void of any being. A large castle loomed over it, mocking how low it fell and laughing at its uselessness. A silent wind swept over the desolate land, picking up dust and causing it to fly around in miniature twisters. Clouds loomed overhead, spurting rain and sleet. In some areas of this place it was warm. In others it was cold. The sun tried to shine through, but couldn't. Soon, rain poured dowon to earth and a silhouette graced the horizon. Moments passed, untainted by dramatic events until the silhouette disappeared. A young man then walked into the Great Maw, eyes narrowed and lifeless, hair being tossed by the wind. His right hand grasped a sword who's tip dragged on the ground, leaving an indention for rain to pool in. The young man was as dry as a bone despite the downpour of liquid and he looked as though he carried the weight of the world upon his shoulders.
Three years.
When he reached the middle of the crevace, he stopped and looked up at the clouds, his sword falling to the earth as he raised his bare hands to the heavens.
Three years since I've felt the touch of the rain against my skin.
The rain fell around him, never touching him for fear of being doomed to a life of metal and cold. It was as if an invisible shield kept him from the outside world. After a moment, he lowered his hands, looking at them.
Three years sinice I've felt the skin of another.
He balled his hands into fists, closing his eyes and letting out a deep sigh. A moment passed beofre he moved.
Three years since I've felt anything.
His eyes shot opened as something besides the rain filtered into his ears. His sword appeared in his hand, denying that it had been on the ground seconds ago. The blade glistened with moisture and the drops that Acier's hand covered became frozen in time.

Imagine looked up at the falling droplets sighing to herself a little.
"I'm walking on.. puddles" She muttered jumping into a puddle letting the dirty muddy water splatter her worn out jeans. Her eyes scanned the gloomy yet pleasant area. She groaned as rain fell down on to her face. "I am so over this" She said putting up the hood of her warm jacket and zipping the zip. She stopped as a figure came to view. A guy came to her sight, why did she have this unusual feeling about this guy?
"Uh.. hello?" She said looking at his back as she was few meters behind him.

Acier awaited the sound of a voice, thoughts fleeing his mind and letting solitude overtake it. When someone did speak, he turned with lightning speed. The tip of his sword found the area below Immy's chin and Acier had complete control of her life for one second. It sent a shiver up his spine and he closed his eyes, wincing.
Damn him.
The young man did not speak, however. He would not unless completely necessary. Her meager 'Hello' meant nothing to him and never would. Never again would Acier appreciate the voice of another. Sounds were meaningless to him.

Imagine looked down at the sword her eyes glanced at the guy then looked at the sword below her chin. Immy sighed and then looked to her finger nails not caring when this guy was going to kill her or not. As the rain fell down upon herself she let out a simple yawn before shouting out to the guy. "My names Immy by the way" She said over the rain.
She shifted one foot to another still staring down at the sword wondering what would happen next. Would this guy even talk to her?

The tip of his sword grazed her neck and Acier wondered what it would feel like to just kill her, to just end a life. The thought was brief and he quickly shoved it from his mind, knowing that he would never kill her intentionally on such short notice. After a moment, his weapon lowered and he gave her a steely gaze. Good for you, he thought. No direct question had been asked, so he said nothing. He just nodded in answer.

Immy nodded back. Then looked back to the guy, "Well I suppose I'll be on my merry way then" She said giving him a small smile walking past him. Her foot lunging into a puddle tripping her over. "Damn I was suppose to look like.. cool" She thought to herself feeling the water saturate her clothes. "Grr" She said aloud standing up and looking down at her clothes. "What?" She snapped at the guy looking at her. "Oh right.. forgot you can't talk" She said angrily trying to dry the dripping water.

Acier would not allow himself to be called mute. After a moment, he spoke. "I do not favor speaking," he said coolly. He let his sword's weight be carried by the ground. 'Cool' was the last thing you looked, his mind muttered. His eyes were unfeeling and cold.

"Righht... I see" Immy said rolling her eyes a little. Looking down at her clothes suddenly feeling cold. 'What is with this guy?' She thought to herself with a confused expression on her face. She looked down at her jeans which now stuck to her legs. "Grrr frickin rain.." She muttered to herself trying to wipe the water away although it was now saturated through.

Acier regarded her with a strange gaze, not sure what to think of the girl standing in front of him. "Why are you out here?" he asked, curiosity getting the better of him. "Shouldn't you be inside?'

"No, I like the rain.. Well not when I'm drowned in it" She said looking down to her clothes and then back to Acier. "So what is your name.. Or are random questions all I'm going to get from you?" She asked closing her eyes for a brief second then looking back to the guy shrugging a little.

Irritation sped through Acier's eyes at the minor joke. Funny was not his thing. Neither was sympathy. "Acier," he replied, the word sliding through the air. He began to count how long it had been since he had smiled.
Yes, he has strange hobbies.

Imagine nodded slightly then looked up to the rain. Slowly feeling her hair absorb the soft water. "So.. why are /you/ out here" She said in a muffled tone. She raised a hand and wiped the water out of her face, rubbing her eye a little. She was now trying to make conversation with a guy who just put a sword to her face, how weird was she?

Acier gave her an empty look, his eyes holding nothing but apathy for her and everything around him. He could answer truthfully or he could lie. Either way wouldn't matter. "Enjoying the rain," he muttered. He knew that she could very well see that he was as dry as a bone if she looked hard enough.
