Chapter 29 - Epilogue 1 - Season 1
A Century Long Kiss
Hurt…
The right corner of my forehead hurt badly. I could feel the blood seep down my face like fallen embers of ash. The heavy weight of the sandstorm as I shut my eyes from the intense sand getting into my eyes.
Where was I?
This wasteland of sand…which felt so cold and lonesome. Though, I felt like I had spent months or even years in this place. Why…in such a horrible place?
I could feel my eyes slightly open as I squinted through the sands. My eyes following as I saw her once again…a beautiful stranger, but there was something about her.
The way her eyes, her light emerald eyes shone from the reflecting sunlight. The three strange scarlet lines along her irises, the warmth I felt as they focused on me. Green like the finest jewels, green like the wildflowers that bloomed in the countryside on those warm spring days that were untouched by war and pain.
Her long brown hair tied into that strange ponytail. Brown like a warm chocolate cake on a birthday, brown like the tree I played on when I was a child, brown like the cover of my old storybooks.
Her lips were red…attached to her beautiful and intricate face that made my heart skip a beat to realize that such a woman could ever exist. Though as she sat, she smiled…
That smile generated a powerful heat that vibrated through my body. Like getting hit with thousands of syringes of morphine as a euphoric high washed over my body. She was not doing anything, except sitting in front of me with that warm smile.
I do not know why…though something stirred inside of me. A faint emotion…something was there. Something…lost or was stripped away from me from days I lost. Why do I feel this way?
I glanced up at the girl. Her smiling face now twisted into a bright red as her cheeks flushed as she stared at me, her hands going around my neck as I felt her soft porcelain skin. Why?
"I…love…you…"
Those three words shook something inside of me. A feeling, a piece of me lost that should of have never been forgotten. Why…who am I?
She pulled her body closer to me as she used her hands behind my neck to pull me towards her. My fingers on my right hand softly cupping her soft chin like a jeweler with a rare diamond. She tensed from my sudden touch as she lightly peeked her eyes to look at me.
I could feel it…the way I tilted my head down as our foreheads slightly rested along the other. The way my left hand rested along her lower back as I pulled her closer. The way she excitedly shook from the touch as she pushed herself closer to me. Her blush becoming full blown crimson as she pouted from the teasing.
My nose bumping softly along her nose as she closed her eyes. The heat radiating from her as her grip tightened along my neck. So, close…I could smell the flowery scent of her hair, or the way my touch affected her.
My own eyes softly closing as my lips met her…
Awaken
I shot up from my bed. Pushing the blankets off my stomach as I heaved, my body rising as I breathed in and out. My glossy sweat radiating from the fresh moonlight that peered from the open flap of my tent.
Ever since I killed Sloth…I get those dreams. I do not know why but I do not want them anymore. The moment the thought entered my head the image of the girl radiated my mind. Damn, I quickly shook my head as I tried to shake away the dream.
Nothing…
I threw my feet over the bed. My shirt was off as I felt the cold glassy chill slowly wake my body up. It has been a month and a half ever since we defeated Sloth, me and the followers have been doing our part to defeat the witch cult and those that support the jealous witch.
My hands went to my watch. My hands closed along the watch as I peered into the time. Early, but I could still get some time to sleep. Though, I was a leader and being early was a good thing to set in for the trainees.
Though, as I placed the watch to the side and was about to go back to bed. My right hand touched my face…tears?
I felt them come out as I stared at the opening of the tent. The bright lights of the stars radiating as it brightened the endless darkness of the galaxy. "Why?" I asked myself, not expecting an answer as I felt more tears go down my face. "Why…do I feel…like I forgot something that I shouldn't have forgotten?"
A maniacal chuckle came from me as I squinted away the tears. My hands going through my long hair as I closed my eyes trying to stop the cries. Though, I could not…so I gave up and looked to the stars. Shaula, that was the name of the girl…wasn't it?
The bright stars welcomed my eyes as I only could stare. My hands going limp by my sides as they fell to the bed as I simply stared asking a question which I knew I could not answer. "Whose memories are these?"
Author Note
Well this one was quick but I felt that this chapter needed to happen. After absorbing the Authority of Sloth Dismas is getting memories of things from either the past or who knows maybe even the future. Thanks everyone for reading this chapter and I will start writing season 2 soon. This chapter was interesting to say the least. It was the shortest but it's an epilogue. I got to watch 25 episodes of season 2 now but holy shit I have to go to bed.
I do want to say some things first. Season 2 is going to open up on the followers after two months after the battle against sloth and two to three chapters will deal with them against the whale. After that the followers will not play a role in the rest of season 2 until the very end. The end of season 2 for the fic is going to be extended and something really terrible is going to happen...holy shit I am going to enjoy writing that part.
If I have enough time maybe I can read the Webnovel and work on arc 5 and reach to arc 6 though I think you guys can tell who Dismas may very well fall for. I want to make this very clear this is not a harem fic or a love triangle. Remember, Dismas love life is filled with heartbreak and lost.
Thanks for all the people who have followed, favorited, reviewed and read the story. It's awesome that so many people like and enjoy the story. Thank you and have a wonderful night!
