So guys, what's up? My first story. So, I've been playing a great game on xbox lately called Dust: an Elysian Tale and felt it necessary to voice my ship. So this is a sort of epilogue to the story, and I won't reveal my ship just yet… you'll have to wait and read ;).
Prologue
"Dust?!" Ginger exclaimed.
"Dust!" More assuredly exclaimed Fidget as she raced off in chase of the sword and the presence that seemed to follow it.
"Wait, Fidget! I don't want to have to tell everyone about Dust… by myself…"Ginger shouted fading into a softer, almost whimper of a voice. "Well…" she said with tears in her eyes, "looks like it's all me then…"
"Wha- What do you mean Dust is dead?!" Avgustin stuttered from amongst the crowd of Aurora Village's citizens.
"I, well I mean just that, he's dead… I saw it happen. But it wasn't in vain, we won the war, but I guess I'm still coping with the cost." Ginger replied frankly.
"As I'm sure we all are Ginger," responded Mayor Bram putting his hand on her shoulder, "I'll see to it that word of his sacrifice gets out to everyone." He told her reassuringly. " Does anyone know who might need or want to know?"
Avgustin sighed and spoke up " I know a couple but the rest are probably more Ginger's deal, I'll go get word to 'em… and Ginger, I'm sorry about Dust. But, keep your chin up kid, he wouldn't want ya sad now would he?" He said rustling her hair as he walked away toward the village's gate.
"Don't worry mayor, I'll coordinate for letters to be sent out…" Ginger said with a rather solemn tone to her voice.
After everyone had given their condolences to Ginger she went back to her house and wrote letters to everyone Dust had helped ,or moved, or set straight. Then, the following morning handed them on to Mayor Bram. "I'll make sure they're delivered, Ginger, I'm sorry…" he said hoping to ease Ginger up, as she had a rather scared look about her.
"It's okay Mayor, I'm just, nervous about everyone who's getting a letter, I mean, I hope I phrased it right." She replied nervously.
"I'm sure it'll be fine Ginger, now I'll be on my way" He said with a smile and walked off into town.
"Oneida we have mail!" Geehan said cheerfully handing his wife the letter as he sat down for breakfast.
"Well, let's see who wrote then…" the older woman said tearing open the letter. She read the letter while taking Geehan's breakfast to him, but suddenly dropped the plate, with it shattering on the ground.
"What the hell Oneida?!" He exclaimed looking up to see his wife holding the letter with a shocked expression on her face.
"It's Dust…"
"Mama, Mama! We have mail!" Bopo exclaimed swiftly giving his mother, who was sitting and watching her other children play in the water, the envelope. "Who's it from?! Did Dust send it?!"
She tore the envelope and removed the letter beginning to read it, "hold on Bopo, I'll tell you when I'm done rea-" Mamop suddenly stoped. "Kids pack up, there's something we need to tell the village."
"Dammit, I know I saw that sword fly in here somewhere!" Fidget exclaimed surrounded by the thick brush of a forest. " Freakin' Arah always making my life difficult, buuuut nobody ever thinks of Fidget's needs- wait what's that?" the nim-bat asked herself as a faint blue glow caught her eye in the distance. "Aaaarah… Duuust, is that you?" She said creeping toward the glow.
Ginger arrived back to her house to find a letter in her mailbox. She opened it inside and sat down to read it. "Damn," she thought, "he must've had a hell of an effect on these folks from archer's pass this girl poured her heart out in this and I don't even know her… and what's this." Ginger thought seeing ink blots caused by what seemed to be tears near the bottom of the letter.
