Too Far Gone
She laughed scornfully, without purpose, without reason. There was nothing funny about her situation and yet the sound came bursting out her mouth, cascading past her lips. She stopped, the reason for her amusement suddenly escaping her. There were no reasons for anything anymore, she supposed. The reason of everything was gone, gone with the wind that carried her voice over the hills. There were only choices, cold hard decisions that would change lives forever. Maybe things were just meant to be that way, maybe she was bound to her fate just like she was bound to the oath to protect her village. The forgotten village, the one gone from memories.
She scoffed. It always seemed like those forgotten fought harder just to be remembered. And maybe that was the way as well. You wouldn't fight if you didn't have anything to fight for. So she had fought, fought for justice, for forgotten people, for lives. And she had let nothing get in her way, not especially that Venus Adept that had the gall to kill her sister. No one would stop her from getting what she strived to achieve. They would have to drag her dead body away from the lighthouses before she would stop.
She laughed softly, thinking of the irony of it all. 'Look where her determination and stubbornness has gotten her' they would say when they found her body, 'dead as a doornail.' As she thought of it more, she thought with scorn that they probably wouldn't even find her body, the lighthouse would probably have been destroyed by then, either because the beacon had been lit or because it hadn't been lit and the lighthouse had collapsed.
With one last ragged breath her mind was blank except for one last thought, the thought of a saying she had once heard a long time ago. She cracked a small smile with the thought, a smile that was permanently plastered on her face for eternity.
As they always say, if you don't have anything to die for, what's there to live for?
A/N- Well this certainly didn't come out the way I wanted it to originally. The first 6 sentences of this one-shot were supposed to be in the other one-shot, the one about Mia, but I realized that the sentences didn't fit her personality at all. I still liked them, though, so I kept them and put them here, to be worked with later. Well, later turned out to be later that day after mowing the lawn, and I used the sentences as the first six and continued on, using Karst's perspective. (I hope you figured out by now that this one-shot was about Karst) I think I portrayed her last thoughts well, right up to her dying in the Mars Lighthouse. Anyway, hope you enjoyed. :)
