[Oct. 17th] [Berserk] [Steel]
Title: Steel
Theme: October 17th / the boy who could not shiver and shake
Series: Berserk
Character/Pairing: Pre-Band of the Hawk Teen! Guts
Rating: PG-13 for implied rape
His sword falls as he exhales, when his body is steadiest. His sword falls, his sword rises, fall and rises, falls, rises. As he swings down he shouts out the number of swings.
"95!"
Guts doesn't have to think when he swings his sword.
"96!"
About his dead mother.
"97!"
About Gambino.
"98!"
About the cloth gag in his mouth and Donovan holding him down.
"99!"
Angry Gambino, drunk Gambino, Gambino falling on Gut's sword.
"100!"
Steel does not weep, or shiver, or shake. Steel endures, silent and still, until it shatters under one too many blows.
