10. Protect His Heaven

"Protect and serve." Queen Elizabeth was wise beyond her years.

The memory was already ebbing from his mind. He murmured "protect and serve" as he placed his hands on the tree. His last memories winked out one by one. He let them go without a fight. If he couldn't protect his kingdom, he would serve it by finding people that could.

"Please..." His voice was barely a whisper. "Protect Anderson's heaven."

Flashes of many people. Many worlds. Many lives. Aliens. Superheroes. Magical girls. Vampires. Humans. He could feel the tree pulling them into this world and knew the strength in them. Good. This was good. He rolled over and stared at the blood-red moon above him.

He was reminded of that night he met the Police Girl. No... Seras. His Seras Victoria. And the funny way Integra scrunched her nose when she realized that he had made her a vampire. And Walter suppressing a chuckle when he saw Alucard carrying his new charge like a stray kitten.

Perhaps he would dream of them...
