Fics like Darkness

"Rydia had to keep reminding herself that Cecil was human." As the young summoner walks with her companions towards the Antlion's den, she contemplates all that has happened to her these past few weeks: the trials she has come through, and most especially her mysterious protector. Cecil is a blank wall of black armor. She can see no hint of the man within. Cecil rarely speaks. Cecil is never wounded, and every foe he faces falls with a single surge from his Dark Blade. He is fully armed every time she sees him, and after all she's experienced, how can Rydia know for sure if any man of flesh and blood truly walks beneath that ebony shell? But of course, the real world is never that simple and monsters don't hide under little girl's beds. And, of course, tales whose theme is Darkness rarely ever end with warm and fluffy feelings. A deconstruction that seeks to pick apart the early part of FFIV with special focus on the bombing of Damcyan, Rydia's delicate mental state, and Cecil's Dark Wave ability. Most of the blood will be in the 2nd chapter of this two-shot, but it will get gory. All medical and biological concepts are accurate and based on my knowledge as a pre-med student and as an EMT.
