A young man falls to his knees, tears rushing down his cheeks as his grip on his gun loosens, the sound of it clashing against the glass floor echos throughout the silent room
The ghostly figure standing above him speaks to break the long lasting silence.
"You never were able to protect her, not in the slightest. . . You call yourself a purifier but when faced with any real threat you buckle under the pressure"
The ghostly figure is holding a lanturn, a chain attached to it wraps around his entire body.
"Oh don't look away, young man" The figure muttles, holding a young girl's skull in his hand "This is the last time you'll ever be able to see her, better take a good gander"
He taunts, holding the woman's face up to the man, her soft brown pleading eyes meet up with him "E-Ekko,," she mutters in a daze.
The ghost
yanks her away from the man before he can respond. holding the womans face up to the lanturn, the lanturn glows and shines bright green as the womans spirit is lifted out of
her body into it.
"That's all I wanted, here you may have this back, it's of no use to me" The ghost says, dropping the womans lifeless body on the floor, her gun too beside her.
"farewell... Ekko." He exerts before dissapearing as fast as he came.
Time line 1: Denial
Ekko crawls his way to the girls lifeless body, tears dropping and splashing against the glass floor, he holds her hand in his.
"I'm so sorry.. I've tried to prevent this so many times." He says, pausing a moment to collect his thoughts "Once more, Give me one more chance, Senna. I swear to you
this time we'll both make it out !" His throat weak as he grips his waist, grabbing ahold of a pully attached to a machine. "I'll be back.. and this time we'll both be here alive.. I promise" He says before yanking the pully, light engolfs him transporting him back 10 years, spitting him back out to the outskirts of zuan.
"Failed again, Ekko?" A girl says to himm with a smile, knowing he'd back.
"Yes, It's getting real tiring seeing you dead, you know" Ekko says jokingly, throwing one arm over the girls shoulder. "We'll get em next time, I promise." He reassures as
he pulls her closer to him, tightly hugging her.
Time line 2: Acceptance
Ekko crawls over to Senna's lifeless body, tears running down his cheeks, collecting at his chin he grips onto her lifeless hand. "I'm so sorry." he chokes
"We can't keep doing this. No matter what we do we always end up back here. I... no, we, need to keep moving on. we cant keep running from this" he leans in, pressing
his forehead agianst hers, trying to control himself. "I swear I'll finish what we started. I'll be enough for the both of us..."
He kisses her still warm lips before standing back up, scooping up Senna's purifier.
Ekko unstraps his time machine from his waist, kicking it to the side.
"Don't remind me of Ekko's failures" He barks, firing a hot shot of light at the time machine, causing it to explode in a fantastic display.
The Light, will purify these demons,,
