(A/N): Well, here's the epic climax. HERE. IT. IS.
So, now, I present the penultimate chapter to the penultimate writing (you know, the last chapter comes before the insanely-short epilogue) of this series! Yay!
CHAPTER NINE: DEATH OF SPIRIT
As I saw all the mines flying through the air at me, I knew this was the end of it. Everything.
I was dead to begin with, so no doubt this would be a whole lot worse than dying.
I knew from what the girl had told me that the Beldam would make sure that it was your end, no matter what. That you would not only die, but your spirit would die, that everything would die, that there would only be dust and damp and forgetting...
So I calmed as I watched the last images I would ever see change and grow, with different things becoming larger while other things retreated...
Suddenly there were several hundred violent explosions that all happen in front of me, and yet somehow I am not harmed by any of them.
When I was fully alert, I realized what blocked them. And I realized what held one last one in her weak arms, and threw that one last unexploded mine straight into the Beldam's face...
...
This girl, the one I now watched over, was now able to talk, and she said something I couldn't quite understand, a strange word I didn't know. But I knew what it was.
And I would also realize that the girl, the one I'd tried to save, who was no more than a miserable, dead spirit, was dying without button eyes.
She was dying with freedom.
And as the world collapsed around us, I comforted her, and as we fell into the deep white mist, I watched as she slowly faded, and was gone.
And when I hit bottom, alone, I died.
(A/N): From this point on, reality has no grip on me.
Currently, I'm chatting with three-eyed purple-skinned aliens while flying through a water-world without drowning while eating moon-sushi with broccoli jelly.
No, I'm not on drugs.
Of course, I only said that sentence to make you think that I am on drugs. I love reverse psychology!
But, we will soon find the name of our protagonist, if you have not guessed what it is already!
