Chapter 23: 22 Inches
I opened my mouth to speak to the Tallest.
"Sirs. It is done. This is the end. Theros has been defeated and it was all because of Xen. My Tallest, Xen has saved you and the Irken Empire from Total Destruction."
"Xen? But, he...died..." Purple said.
"No Sirs, He was very much alive. Xen only faked his death because he thought he had failed. He came to this planet to recover and become a better Invader before returning again to recapture his planet. We met up and Theros attacked, invading my brain. Xen went in and fought him to the death, defeating him for good. My Tallest, Xen has also died, but he has died protecting the good of my mission as well as you and the Irken Empire. It was a long and bloody battle, but he came out the winner before dieing. My Tallest, I have finished my mission and this foul planet is now ready for you to take over. I await your arrival."
"Good job Invader Daft. We shall be there soon. Just tie up the loose ends and we're on our way." Red said.
"When you get back for the honorary Life Sweep First Volley Ceremony, we shall announce yours and Xen's victory."
"Thank you my tallest. I await that day with anticepation. Invader Daft, Sighning out."
I sigh and fall back onto a comfy chair and twirl it from side to side as I think. This is almost over now. I wonder what It'll be like up on the stage, fiering the first Life Sweep Volley...Sighing I close my eyes to think of Xen. Link walks up to me and looks at me. I smile weakly.
"Well master, I guess this is it huh?"
"Yep."
"Well, you still have me..."
"And me too." Piped up Kor from the corner, "I wish to stay with you and Link."
"Ok. You can stay Kor. We wouldnt mind the least."
I smiled a weak smile as Link started to dance around singing a happy tune from his head radio thing. I smiled and laughed as things started to warm up. This would be a slow half a year, but it should be a great one. I yawned as I thought again of Xen. He would have loved to be here. What would it have been like if he would have lived? What future would we have together? I sighed and thought of his handsom face. I never had another chance to return his love. He would always be with me, in heart and mind. I closed my eyes listening to Link and Kor sing and dance merrily as the sun set and the three moons appeared on the horizon, full and bright with a pale white light. I waited.
