My Name (Patreon)

"Hey, Xera, do you know whom you were before... All that?" Pale finger caressed shining copper-like plating, diving down in between smooth ridges, following their organic shape.

"No" an umbral hand covered the pale one, hiding it completely from the world, silencing the motion. "It felt like a moment, an instant. To be, and then to forget. Do you know what my name means?"

Eiden shook his head.

"Me neither" Xera replied, releasing the hand, hovering over it. "It was the only thing I kept on saying for days before... I was able to come to my senses" he put his hand back on Eiden's, metal fingers caressing the soft flesh underneath.
