Epilogue: The Light of the Wings
The memory was gone in a flash and I felt myself quickly returning to the power of the fire. Ray hadn't been able to hold on any longer. I opened my eyes and saw as Ray came out of the trance and collapsed on the floor. She was breathing heavily, and she kept her eyes closed. I took a look at her and started to cry. I cried for the pain I was putting my loved ones through. For the life I would never live. For the love I would never find. For the apologies and the goodbyes I would never say. And for the world I would leave behind. When I finally looked up I saw all three of my friends still keeping the connection, but their heads were bowed. Ray was still on the ground, not having the energy to move, but her eyes were open and she was looking at me.
"I-...I'm sorry my friends," I said weakly. I can't believe I didn't see it before. I put you through so much...I'm sorry," I cried, looking out at all of them through the fire. They lifted their heads, but I saw love and happiness in their eyes.
"Don't be sorry," Mina replied. "We're glad we could help you. Now, you'll go on to a better place..."
"Please Serena," Amy called out unexpectedly. "Just don't abandon us," she cried, looking up at me.
"I'd never do that," I whimpered, as I put together all of the facts. "I'm...dead," I said with reluctance. "But...I'll always love you guys. You're my best friends," I sobbed, letting the tears fall, but still looking at each and every one of them. "I'll always watch over you. Even if it may pain me to see the world I couldn't live in for very long...I'll be happy seeing the lives that my friends will make for themselves." Just then, Ray sat up and looked at me directly in the eyes.
"Serena," she said in a very weak voice. "Now you know...Now you understand the emotions that you saw through all of our eyes...Yet you still try to look at everything with an optimistic note. You still insist on being our guardian angel. Thank you. Your love will give us all strength." I blew a kiss to all of them, and nodded at my friends. After taking one last look at all of them, they let my life force go. I was rejected out of the fire, but a white glowing light surrounded me. My friends sat on the ground, tired from the strain that they had been through, but I saw them look over to where I was.
"Serena?" Luna asked, walking nearer to me. A bright white light surrounded me, and when the intensity was lowered I was in a long white gown. My hair was flowing freely, and a halo was levitating above my head.
"Luna...my friends..." I whispered as I looked upon all of them. "Thank you for helping me. I can feel His warmth right now, welcoming me into heaven. I love you all...I will never forget you." I blew a kiss to each of them once again, and arched my back. Wings of gold, silver, and a brilliant white light came out of my back, and I rose into the heavens above. I looked down at them as I ascended with an angel's wings. With these wings supporting me, I rose into peace and tranquility.
