The finale...Are you ready? Enjoy.

After the pain from my injuries subsided,we left the room we were holed up,and headed to where the final battle of sorts would take place.

Alexy's room.

My leg still hurt from where I was stabbed,so I was limping quite a offered to carry me,but I declined.I had to do this myself. We finally reached Alexy's room and seeping out from beyond the door,there was an aura of incredible evil and darkness.

"Alexy's waiting for me,isn't he?" I gulped.

"No,he's waiting for Lysander,but that guy...won't be coming back." Naru informed me rather icily. I shivered and reached for the door.

"Here I go..."

I opened the door and stepped room was dark and empty.

"Alexy? I know you're in here...come out! I just want to talk!" I shouted into the was no reply.I walked in further,slowly,step by step.

"Why won't my hands stop shaking,When all the earth is still?" I whispered,trembling. "When ancient ghosts are waking,so breaths need taking." I stopped.I was now standing in the exact spot where Alexy killed himself

'Will you proceed miss?It's not too late...' Alexy's voice echoed in my head.

"I think I will,I... think I will..." I replied.

'Then,miss,welcome to the beginning...'

I watched in horror(and awe) as clumps of darkness came together and formed his body;He looked exactly as he did when he died minus the whole intestine thing, his grey hoodie stained red with blood and that same creepy smiled plastered on his face.

'of the end!'

" Alexy stop! It's not me you're mad at right? Right?!" I asked him." And you're not really mad at Lysander either! So tell me whats wrong! Let me help you!"

'Silence! You Know nothing! You can do nothing! So shut up and DIE!' He lunged for me but I didn't cower or turn away.I stood my ground.

"You're right,I don't know anything.I don't know how you feel,but I know what it's like to be alone."

Alexy stopped mid lunge and stepped looked a bit surprised.

"You do?" he asked in a small voice. I smiled.

"Yes I see,Alexy,I was an fact,by law,I still am. When my father died I was really young,so I don't remember him when my mother died,my whole world shattered.I couldn't bear the thought of being without her."

"So what did you do?How come you aren't like me? Seek revenge against god?" He asked.

"I refused to let the hurt,pain,and loneliness dictate my life. If theres anyone I should be seeking revenge against it is Him,the god you call death."

"But..no...it's not true..."He mumbled.

"Your God,Him, brought many horrors to my doorstep. He made you do this to me! He made you hurt your best friend! What type of god does that!?" I yelled at him. He flinched and I saw tears pool at the edges of his big brown eyes. The dark aura dissolved and all was left Alexy.

"I-I'm s-s-s-sorry...I was just..s-so mad because...Lysander was so happy with you..I just got so..jealous...I didn't mean too." He sobbed. I put a hand on his shoulder.

"But didn't you want Lysander to be happy?" I inquired.

"Thats all I wanted! He was my best and only friend...and I was afraid of losing him." He admitted.

"And thats why you began to withdraw and practice the dark side of life?"

"yes...I was jealous of Lys,of Noll and were all 'special'.They could do things beyond the normal human capabilities..I guess I secretly wanted to be like them." He dropped his gaze to his shoes. I looked around and noticed there weren't any windows.I glanced at my watch and smiled softly.I took his hand in mine.

"Alexy,Lets go outside!" And together we left the as the others followed quietly was dark outside and the cool breeze felt good against my sweaty self.

"I want to show you something,the thing I personally live for." I told him.I sat down on the grass and motioned for him to join me. He hesitated but finally sat down.

"When I was younger my mom always told me,that whenever the contents of today are getting me down,I can always look forward to the morning glow of tomorrow." I said softly,remembering my late mother.

"Mai,is that you?" A familiar voice called out to me.I turned to see who it was.

"Lysander..." Alexy mumbled sadly. Lysander walked towards me looking slightly perplexed and his eyes were puffy,liked he been crying all night.

"Lysander-kun,what are you doing here? What happened to you?You look awful." I said,patting the ground next to sat down on the other side of me,completing the Mai sandwich:A slice of Mai stuck between Alexy and Lysander.

"I'm...so sorry about...everything Mai...doing that stuff...That evil..evil thing to you.." He whispered.

"No Lysander it wasn't your fault! Miss! Tell him it's my fault!" Alexy pleaded.

"It wasn't anyones fault. You were being manipulated,you both were." I said. Lysander opened his mouth to talk but closed it,deciding not to. Instead he rested his head on my shoulder.

"Mai,what happened? That wasn't my Alexy." He started to cry. "That wasn't my best friend! If only I could tell him how much I missed him,how much... I loved him. was like a brother to me..."

"I missed you too Lysander! I'm right here!I'm right here!"Alexy cried out.

"I'm sure he misses you too,in fact I'm certain he does it's what binds him here. He missed you so much,his spirit refused to move on,leaving him stranded here." I smiled. "Now both of you,watch the sky..."

"Both..?" But before he could ask any further,as if on cue the sun peeked out from the dark horizon.

"Morning glow,Morning to glimmer when you o of change are set to blow and sweep this whole land Morning glow,you're long past due."

" This is..." Alexy began.

"...Beautiful." Lysander finished.

"Morning glow,fill the and shine for all you're worth." I hugged Lysander closer to me. "We'll be present at the birth,of old faith looking new. Morning glow,you're long past due."

The sun filled the sky with brilliant blazes of orange and yellows and reds and pinks. The dark sky fading into blue. The moon visible as merely a half smile,acknowledging the presence of its bright brother.

"Morning glow,by your light,We can make the new day the phantoms of the night,will fade into the past. Morning glow is here~"

" At last..." Alexy sighed. He stood up and turned to face me. "I think...no I know,it's time to go back. Please tell Lysander I will always be watching over him."

"Of course..." I began to walk towards the sun,his ghostly shadow illuminated in the glow of the morning.

"Alexy?" Lysander asked,eyes turned his head slightly smiled and continued he was gone.

"Was that...?"

"Yeah,he finally found his way,and moved on." I told him. He nodded and laid his head back on my shoulder.

'Thank you Miss...'

And so,like every night ends,so will this story. But with every sunset there is a sunrise and new beginnings. I hope,no pray,that one day soon,you too will find your simple joy;your morning glow;Your corner of the sky.

So,until the sun rises and the day starts anew, I bid you farewell

Until Next time,

Eugene Davis.
