It took me a while to post this as well as my other stories' chapters, sorry about that. I have been on a drawing spree and posted the pictures on DA. Check out my account there, the link is on my profile. Anyway I hope you enjoy this ending to my oneshot. Please forgive me if it seems cheesy or something.
Darkness surrounded me as I felt myself in a dark void. I looked around and all I saw was darkness. I had just taken my last breath when I closed my eyes and ended up here.
Was this how I was going to live my afterlife, alone, with nowhere else to go?
All I had to keep me company was the stained leggings that my love once wore. As I held them in my hands, I began to accept my fate into this empty place.
Suddenly, I heard the giggles of a young girl echo throughout the blackness. I turned my head, in search of the voice's source, when I looked forward and saw a light coming from a bright orb. The glow started to overpower the darkness as it grew even more intense. When the brightness consumed the entire space, I closed my eyes and saw blackness once again.
I regained consciousness a while later and found myself lying on a ground of white little cubes. My body ached and I had no motivation to get up, so I stayed in that position.
Moving my head slightly I saw my surroundings. There were hills made of the same white substance that I was laying on. Sitting on the peaks of them were large pink tea kettles, all with the same design of two meowbeasts.
I suddenly heard laughter again and stayed motionless. With all my other senses beside sight, I could hear the constant giggles as well as the sound of footsteps.
As the steps ceased I could smell that someone was very close. I could hear the gasp of same voice from before but this time very close. From what I could tell she had kneeled in front of me and brought her hand out to shake my body.
":33 *ac shakes the troll with the purrty mane in an attempt to wake her*"
I didn't want to worry the girl so I slowly sat up, groaning from by sore muscles. Once I was kneeling, I rubbed my head due to a slight headache before opening my eyes to see the troll sitting in front of me.
Her hair was messy and short as a blue helmet covered the majority of her head. The headgear had two holes for her triangular horns to pop out of. She wore a black shirt with the same sign as mine and was covered by a green robe. Behind her, a matching blue tail and shoes were also part of her outfit. When she opened her eyes I was surprised. Instead of the orange irises and black pupils I expected, I only saw pure white.
":33 welcome to the land of little cubes and tea weve have expecting you miss um"
"Disciple. Just who are you, little one?"
":33 *the mighty huntress tells the troll with her sign that she is nepeta leijon*"
I giggled at the little girl. The way she spoke as an omniscient storyteller lightened my spirits.
"Well it is nice to meet you too, little Nepeta. Um, what are you doing right now?"
":33 the leggings in your hands smell very furmiliar espurrcially the blood on it i just cant put my paw on it though"
Just as she said, Nepeta started sniff to the blood on my Signless's leggings. Her eyes grew wide, telling me that she had recognized the scent on it. Suddenly she grabbed one of my hands and caused me to stand up.
":33 come with me theres sometroll i want you to meet h33h33"
She suddenly darted off in the direction she came from. With her gloved hand still holding my appendage, I had no choice but to follow along. The sound of the cubes under our feet continued while I continued to grip on the leggings with my free hand.
As we continued to travel across the land, Nepeta stuck a conversation.
":33 ive known about you fur a long time disciple even before we met today"
"What do you mean?"
Nepeta finally stopped at the remains of a cave, covered in rubble.
":33 befur we meet my friend let me show you my hive"
Suddenly the environment suddenly changed. Instead of a yellow-orange sky above us, I saw a cloudy atmosphere that was too familiar to me.
"I-is this Alternia?"
I looked forward to see the cave in front of us restored and had a hive built inside.
":33 *she lets go of the trolls hand as she beckons her to come inside her humble abode*"
I follow her inside as I look around. On the ground were dead creatures used as rugs. The blood that pooled on the floor was the same color as some of the drawing on the cavern walls. The other drawings appeared to have been of other trolls with the two symbols of red romance.
As I turned my head looked at myself in the somewhat reflective liquid that was a dead carcass's blood, I realized something. My eyes were just as white and bleak as Nepeta. My thoughts of this were interrupted by Nepeta.
":33 come over here theres something i want to show you"
The young girl lifted the cover that blocked a small cavern from sight. I followed her into the secluded area and could not believe my eyes. The walls in the room were too familiar to me. They were the words that I had written in my life of isolation. I watched as Nepeta brush her hand across the texts that were printed against the walls.
":33 we cant control what flows through us the highbloods cant control what flows through us the hemospectrum cant control what flows through us those words as well as all the writing in here led me to finding out about you and what you and your furriends did centuries ago the droids that built my hive never touched this as if they wanted me to find out about you my ancestor"
The last word Nepeta said made everything clear to me. Her wild, energetic personality, her appearance, there was no doubt that she had to have been my descendant. She seemed so much like me when I was at her age.
":33 lots of the drawring in here also inspired me to make my shipping wall it didnt matter if my friends were different blood colors h33h33 just thinking about it makes me think of my funny meowrail and his quadrants"
As she continued to look at the scriptures with her blank eyes, I felt something call to me. I walked over to one of the corners and hanging there was the skin of a beast I had slain that acted as a cover. I removed it to reveal what I had concealed years ago, the first thing I had drawn on these walls that I could not bear to look at without mourning.
It was The First Ship, floating across Alternian waters. I gently traced my finger around the outline of the image until I reached the sketch of the Signless and I. The smile that was etched onto each of their faces made me nostalgic. I wished I could just go back to those happy times where I can see his smile in front of me, not just in a drawing.
I could feel tears coming out as I remembered the Signless's sweet smile as we shared our feelings. Still holding the Signless's leggings, I tried to wipe them away but they continued to pour out. To just hear his voice and to be together once more would be a dream come true. As the seconds passed by, my memories of that night continued.
My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of water crashing. I opened my eyes to see my surroundings change. I quickly stood up and realized that I was standing on the back of a ship. I leaned over so I could see the side of the vessel and saw the words 'The First Ship' etched into it.
As I slowly began to recognize the boat that I once stood on sweeps ago, Nepeta walked over to me with a grin on her face.
":33 *just as planned ac says as she goes to find her furriend on this ship and tell him of the disciples arrival*"
Nepeta hopped off the upper deck we were on and ran towards the helm. With haste I followed the troll across the ship. I stopped and gasped when I had finally caught up with her.
At the front of the ship, Nepeta was beside a troll wearing a grey, hooded cloak. The waves crashing against the boat made what Nepeta say to the troll inaudible. She then pointed towards me as I partially saw the all too familiar face. It was the face of the Signless, my matesprit.
I was motionless the two of them turned and walked towards me. As my matesprit removed the hood that rested on his head Nepeta ran past me. I felt her hands against my back as she pushed me towards the troll in front of me.
The force caused me to almost fall over until the Signless caught me and wrapped his arms around my waist. Lifting my head from his chest I saw that he had the same blank, white eyes I had. As I stared at the face I had not seen in sweeps, he lifted one of his hands to bring to the side of my face. He kissed my forehead before looking back at my face as I saw red teardrops out of the corners of his eyes.
"It has been a long time, hasn't it my love?"
The warmth that came from his skin felt so real, I couldn't deny that this who I was seeing in front of me was actually him. I could feel more tears coming, but they weren't of sadness and loneliness. No, these were tears of love and happiness.
All my pent-up emotions from all those sweeps of isolation came bursting out as I hurried and embraced him. My arms wrapped tighter around his neck as the Signless comforted me.
"It's really you isn't it? I missed you so much my love!"
"As did I my Disciple. I'm sorry for leaving you alone for so long. I promise we will never be apart ever again."
We each slowly brought one of our hands together and intertwined our fingers. We gradually closed the space between us as we brought our lips together. It was a long, gentle kiss but it held so much love that our surrounding just disappeared.
When we finally broke apart I turned to thank Nepeta for reuniting us, but I saw that she disappeared. I was worried about the troll until the Signless calmed me down.
"Don't worry. This world we're in allows someone to travel to certain memories. That's how you came here wasn't it."
My cheeks heated up as I nodded my head and rested on his chest.
"I remembered the night we confessed our feelings for each other."
"I see, then shall we relive that night my love?"
Suddenly he lifted me off the ground and carried me with one hand hooked to my shoulder while the other was under my knees. I felt my face get even warmer as I saw the toothy smirk on his face.
After a few seconds I circled my arms around his neck again and gave him a chaste yet passionate kiss. As I felt him walk towards one of cabins, I rested my head on the base of his neck and closed my eyes, listening to ocean waves and the steady heartbeat that came from the troll I loved. He continued to carry me inside where we would share an intimate moment we could relish in once again.
Once I saw the Disciple pounce Karkitty's ancestor, I knew my job as matchmaker was complete. This ship had been restored and was sailing once again.
I will let them spend time together while I go visit my meowrail. I told them I was going but they were caught up their meowment that I didn't say anymore. The vessel around me disappeared as I faded from their sight.
I could always come here again when I wanted and with whomever I wanted to come with me. The Signless told me of two other trolls besides my ancestor. So I would wait for their arrival into this dream bubble and bring them to the First Ship when the time came.
Finally done with this story. For readers of my other stories I have testing coming up so I may or may not be able to update soon. It's that or I'll be on a drawing spree again. Hope you liked it and read and review if you want. Just no flaming please and thank you.
