Drabbles: Numero Cincon and Illyria

[aurey09]

Number 6 and 7 of the 100 Whedon character drabbles I'm doing. If you want to you can suggest what character you want me to write for next.

“My company would like to offer you a job. A young man of your skills would be an asset.”

Numero Cinco knew of Wolfram and Hart. He no longer cared about the people they hurt, for they no longer cared about him or his brothers. Their victories had been forgotten over the years.

He took the job because he was no longer a hero, because being a hero wasn’t simply about being brave and risking one's life. It was about having hope, that one day you might conquer all of the evil. It was hopeless and naïve; it was heroic.

LA was a flame, a muddle of smoke and screams. Spike and Illyria stood on a rooftop. Only them left in the middle of an apocalypse.

“This can’t be bloody happening.”

“There are scores of occurrences that should not be,” Illyria pointed out. “There is no longer a balance. One force will become the dominant.”

Spike turned to leave.

“You will not abandon me. All walls are tumbling, Wesley was right. This must be what they wished not to see.” She tilted her head upwards letting the rain slice along her face.

“This kingdom is lost to us.”

“Rome, then.”

These are both very nice. I particularly like this line:
She tilted her head upwards letting the rain slice along her face.

The use of the word 'slice' is an excellent choice, and in that one moment Illyria leapt off the page.

I love Numero Cinco.. he's awesome and so is this drabble. I love the way Ilyria sees things (kind of like Anya on steroids)... you really captured that.

Walls was a well written drabble, you captured Illyria perfectly. I was wondering if you could do a Lorne drabble? Or a Cordy one? Either would be great.

Both of these are wonderful. :D As for the next character, maybe something way different...Phantom Dennis or Gru perhaps?
