Epilogue
Fear. Regret. Sorrow. Her eyes refused to open to look at where she was spiraling into. She didn't even dare to open her eyes when she heard the sound of her world shater into little pieces like glass. Fuego saw it though. He could see the flashing colors as he saw different pieces fly pass him. He could see the castle, the emeralds, the knights... and he could see his parents. Though it was only for a second, that second was long enough for him to see Silver and Blaze were lying on the ground side by side. Blood was coming out of their wounds, but their suffering was over, now that their world was gone as well. Fuego clung to Shine as they went spiriling on and on, still, Shine refused to open her eyes.
"Shine... Are you okay? Are you scared?", Fuego asked, his voice cracking slightly from shock.
Shine didn't responde for a second before she took a deep breath and said, "No. Why would you think that, Fuego?"
"Because I'm scared...", Fuego said, and a tear escaped his eyes and it landed on Shine's dress.
Shine shot her eyes open and she looked down at Fuego just holding on to her and crying. It was very rare to see her brother cry like he was right now. It only happened one other time when he found and befreinded a caterpiller he found in the forest. It was eaten by a spider later, and he mourned for it's death. That was really his only experience with death before now. Shine looked around at the swirling colors of many worlds just passing by. That's when she saw some of the shards of her own world passing by as well. All those faces, frozen in time, never to have a future passed that.
Do not be afraid. Do notfeel sadness. Rejoice at your survival. Enjoy it while you can.
"D-did you say something, Shine?", Fuego asked, hearing those words reverberate through the long tunnel of colors.
"I didn't say anything, Fuego... I thoughtt that was you...", Shine said, looking all around, hoping to find the source.
Do not be afraid. I will guide you towards your destination. I will see that you remain safe.
Fuego and Shine were rather soothed by the sound, and even began to look less and less afraid. For some reason, the voice seemed rather familiar. Almost like they had heard it before, but where did they hear it? It was something in the back of their minds, but before they could progress further into their memory and thought, a light began to blanket them. Fuego looked at Shine, expecting it to be her. It was not. It came from no where.
You have a long journey ahead of you where you will be going. Children of Light and Fire, youur destinies will be realized.
Destiny? Their world was destroyed and this strange soothing voice is saying that they have to deal with something else? What could it be? Why them? Shine just felt the soothing light take her and she began to feel a little drowsy. Fuego even felt the same way. He felt his sense of being alert going down, but his fear had returned. As did Shine's. Fear of this strange unknown. Fear for what will become of them and where they might end up.
Do not be afraid...
Why was this voice saying this? Why not be afraid? All they were doing was flying to Chaos knew where, and it expected them not to be afraid? On top of that, the light that might have come from the voice was just making them fall asleep.
Do not be afraid. Do not falter from your goal...
Their eyes were getting heavier as they continued through the light. There was something that they were seeing though. Something far, but getting closer ever so quickly.
Find the other five Children. Find them and save this world...
Other's? Were their other from their world that escaped? Why was this voice calling them children? Shine could see a blackness in that distance and it continued to grow. They were moving faster, and she was getting more and more tired.
Always remember... you are the ones...
Shine's eyes had just closed, but she was still awake enough to hear the last line said as she felt herself fall into a slumber and she also felt that she left the colorful tunnel forr good.
You are the ones who will return the balnce...
Author's Note
Wow, took me a while to finally update this fic, huh? Sorry about that, remember, I'm entitled to my procrastination as well. I do love writing, but things in my life seem to always get in my way. But I am gunna make a bet on something. You probably expected this to be the completely last story. Well the answer is yes and no. Surprise! This Trilogy is just one big prologue to a story that I have been meaning to do for a long time now. You saw the original characters, and tolerated the extreme references to movies, and other books, and you have seen and tolerated the Sonic and Sally pairing, but it was was just one big prologue. My friends, thank you for taking the time to read through my fiction, tolerating my spelling errors, and especially tolerating the couples used in the story, for I am aware that there are people out there who might not have liked the pairings that I used. I thank you all for reviewing and telling me all the things I did wrong and for taking the time from your lives to just come and read. You are all the best and are what kept me writing. For those who want to see what happens now, stay tuned for the Children of the Elements story. Please review as I do enjoy feedback that is both positive and negative. -looks back at epilogue- Could I have done anymore Kingdom Hearts refrences?
