I so almost cried reading this. I love Arkan/Sharma, and this casts a new light on it. This light makes new shadows, poised to cut the souls of those involved, ripping them, tearing them up until naught but pain remains...

Hah, that sounded cool...

This was great! I'm tempted to say too short, but perhaps adding much more would have been overdramatic or repetitive. The one tiny little thing I noticed:

"hose feelings were a strange memory of a past that no longer belonged to him, he who scorned humanity, and it's weakness."

it's should be its. :)

This is really good! I like the Arkan's emotions. It was amazing, really. It was a unique look at the situation. Awesome.
