Back with chapter two of this story! Woo!
Spoilers: Episode 27 (Where the Soul Goes) AKA towards the very end of the series
The world was collapsing around them. Humans were settling back in preparation for their fate. The nobles were plotting something for the upcoming end. And the wolves searching all over the world for the place known as Paradise.
Even though this world was insane, ancient and falling apart as it was, they had each other, and the world couldn't do a single thing about it.
Hubb smiles as he thinks this, holding hands with his beautiful Cher. She rested with her head against his chest, her hair tickling his chin. They were sitting on the couch from their old home, birds chirping softly outside. Finally, she tilts her head, looking into his eyes…
The house is gone. There is nothing but the creak and groan of twisted metal, followed hours later by a crash. Snapping of electric wires and the scream of metal hitting hard, cold ground fills the air. The sound is overwhelming, overpowering, and he is holding her in his arms once again. But her body is limp, cold. Her face no longer bears the stress, no longer bears anything but the purest of content smiles.
He screams and cries to the wind.
Hubb jolts awake, looking around in fear. Of course it wasn't real… Cher was still with them…
For a brief second, he can almost hear her voice, feel her touch, and look into those piercing yet gentle blue eyes…
But it is an illusion. His wife is dead now. The world is still collapsing around him, yet it seems so much colder. Lowering his head, he shamelessly reaches for the bottle of alcohol. It's still dark out, and the night is young, begging for the relief that the strong liquor will bring.
After watching Cher die… Emotional trauma. That is all I'm going to say.
I'm afraid it probably isn't very good, and it might be confusing, but grief is something that words really can't describe or even touch on. I did my best XD

Anyways, I got my first prompt, which I shall work on and probably have done by Saturday. Thanks Shizuku!
Until next time,
