Legacy of Sius Malacos

[Heartless]

The white lights in the maternity ward shined off the white walls and off the white floors. Needless to say the ceiling was white as well. The bed in the middle of the room was also white and the tables holding all sorts of medical equipment were white as well. The doctor and nurses surrounding the bed wore white scrubs and the woman giving birth on the bed was draped in white.

She clutched the handles on the side of the bed as she forced the life out her body. One nurse checked the vitals on the monitor while another injected some more painkillers into her body. The doctor at the bottom end of the table grasped the head of the child and slowly pulled it towards a third nurse who was waiting with a soft, damp, white cloth.

Some red liquid glittered on the bed and on the floor as the woman relaxed and took deep breaths. The nurse holding the newborn brought it to the mother to let her hold her child. The other two nurses left the room while the third discussed with the doctor.

From the white door five figures hooded in black seemingly glided into the room and lined up, side by side. The nurse looked at the doctor, then followed him out the room, leaving the five figures clothed in black alone with the exhausted, then confused, and now frightened woman.

The figures moved and surrounded the bed.

"You touch her and I wi..."

The mother's head turned back. She made chocking sounds though nothing, nor anyone was touching her. The child, silent. One of the hooded figures gently took the newborn out of its mother's hand and looked at it.

"Yes, you are the future..." then passed it onto the next figure,

"Ja, sie werden uns alle retten..." then the next,

"Si, todas las colonias ahora dependen de ti..."

"Hai, Anata wa idaina chikara o motsu koto ni narimasu..."

"Oui, et sauver toute l'humanité une fois pour toutes."

The last figure held the baby close to it. The mother gained some control and turned her head to look at her child and reached out to it with an arm...

"Na.. nadia..." then her arm fell and her head turned down with gravity.

The five hooded figures turned towards the door as the one holding the little girl placed her in a medical crib waiting by the exit, then activated the health monitor. She was silent, making only juvenile sounds, staring at the white ceiling. The five hooded figures in black glided back out the door, and the white lights reflecting off the white floor and white walls suddenly went dark, turning the white room into a dark abyss.
