The Blessed Mother's hands were cool and smooth to his coarse and earthy, but She smiled beatifically at him. A halo of orange glowed around Her. Her voice drifted through his haze and though he wasn't sure what She said, he felt peace pierce the dark. His fear subsided as he gazed into Her blessed countenance. But it still lapped at the edges of his mind when he took his eyes from Her.
She lifted him up with ease and pulled him along. He was aware of the demon following him but the Queen of Heaven was taking him to safety. Nothing could harm him as long as Sebastian stayed near Her.
He paid no attention to the route they took. It did not matter. Only She mattered, peace and tranquility. Each moment seemed to last forever as they walked, a lifetime lived in each step. He was getting tired though. He wanted to sleep, wanted to lay down and drift away.
And then they were ascending upwards and it was as if She had heard his prayers. Of course She had. She had looked back at him during the entire journey together and he knew She was listening to his prayers. Her reassuring smiles confirmed him, as he had been confirmed years ago.
Her bed was a cloud and he murmured his thanks and praise even as his eyes closed. Peace enveloped him, warmth and tranquility. He hadn't felt like this since...he could not remember ever feeling this way. The Eternal Mother held his hand and he drifted off.
