Hey. I know its been some time since the season finale, but volume 3 had so much, including the great big ending it had. I personally like Pyrrha as one of my favorite characters, so I figured I should write something that I thought was going through her mind in those last moments. Told from Pyrrha's point of view. Enjoy, I guess.
A bright flash. An intense surge of heat and a sudden burst of pain. That was all I felt. In the last moments, I remember a strange woman clad in red. She strode up to me, touched my temples, and then white. I remember her taking the fall maidens power, and then I confronted her at what was the headmasters office.
Even in those last moments, with my aura gone, and my weapons cast aside, all I could do was watch as she approached me. Even with death staring me down, my life flashed within my sight. I looked back upon what all I had done, what I had accomplished in my life. First my life in Mistral was reintroduced to me.
I gazed upon it all. My childhood, when things were simpler for myself. My family, consisting of my mother and father, and my younger sister, Aria Nikos. It tore my heart apart knowing how they would feel once they had found out about what would've happened to me. I wouldn't be able to see Aria grow up, and that was what hurt me most, but the feeling of pain only got worse.
Next was my memories at Mistral academy. It was there where I both flourished and fell. While in Mistral, I unlocked my semblance and aura, which at the time was the best feeling in the world for me. I felt like the happiest girl on remnant, but what I didn't count for is the fame I had gained once I had begun showing my capabilities. I had shown great aptitude in combat, and was blessed with great knowledge from the highest of teachers, but it still hurt being sectioned off from others all because of how adept I was.
Even just going out and trying to be normal became nearly impossible. I couldn't even walk down the street without being acknowledged as the 'Champion of Mistral'. I needed a way to get away from. A way for me to start over. That is what lead me to Beacon.
When it had came time for me to choose which school I would attend to become an official Huntress, I was presented with four choices. But out of them, I chose Beacon for a number of reasons, with one main reason binding my choice. It was because I felt drawn, compelled, almost like I had to go there. When I arrived, I wasn't swarmed with a mob of people begging me for favors and such as back in Mistral. It felt great to finally be treated like normal.
Over my time there, I had gone through a lot. From an eventful initiation, all the way up to the Vytal festival. Even with all the people I met, the friends I had made, one of them had stood out amongst the rest. It was Jaune Arc that made me feel the most normal. Not only that, I had grown attracted to the somewhat bright blonde. The way he stood out amongst the rest, his kindness, even his blissful ignorance. I... I'm gonna miss him.
I wish that it hadn't ended this way. I'm abandoning my family, losing my friends, and most of all, losing Jaune. If only things had ended differently. But no matter what, even with these circumstances, one thing held strong to me.
"Do you Believe in Destiny?"
That should've simply smashed the feels button. To me, that is what was going through Pyrrha's mind when she realized that she wouldn't make it through this. I'm sorry if it hurt some of you, but someone needed to write this. Hope you enjoyed it, and thank you for taking the time to read this.
