I would like to start this with an apology. There was some confusion about the end of my previous chapter. It has been a few months since she get hurt and it all started. Kino has healed and can once again walk after weeks of rehabilitation. Hayami's dream happened several months after Verg's. Now on with the story:
Hayami stands at the cliff's edge. Everything has happened exactly as expected. All according to Kino's dream; the most recent of the dreams. The sky is dark. Clouds cover the sky; black clouds. The rain is coming down heavily. Verg is staring at Hayami. Hayami is staring back. Lightning begins to strike the ground. A bolt hits the tree by which Zorndyke died next to. It bursts up into flames. Soon the fire spreads burning all of the remaining grass and trees left by Zorndyke. Verg gets ready to charge Hayami.
Verg charges going faster and faster. Kino runs as quickly as possible towards Hayami. Verg shoves full force and Kino goes flying off the edge. Down and down she goes. THUD. She hits the ground. CRACK. Her bones shatter against the rocks at the bottom. The fire that has been consuming the island reaches the spot where she lays. Kino is engulfed by the flames. Licking at her body she slowly burns. Her breathing slows as she crawls toward the water with what little strength she has left.
Hayami lays on the ground next to where he just was. He watches as she feebly crawls toward the water. He stands up. His sadness turns to anger. He charges toward Verg. They clash with a thunderous force. Punches fly back and forth. Blood spills all over the ground from both Verg and Hayami. The fire surrounds them as they struggle. Each one wanting nothing but to kill the other. The fire around them is nothing compared to the fire burning inside them.
They go tumbling off the cliff together. Falling. Falling. They hit the ground still fighting. Verg's head hits a rock and is shattered completely. He dies instantly. Hayami isn't as fortunate. He lands and a rock shoves one of his rib bones into his left lung. He crawls to where Kino. She has stopped unable to move anymore. He grabs her hand and they smile at each other. They breathe there last breath together. They die in one another's arms.
Somewhere far away a small boy sits on a rock by the ocean crying. A women walks up and sits down besides him and asks him what is wrong. He doesn't answer at first. She just holds him tightly. He looks up at her.
"Somewhere far away people just died. Consumed by their hatred and by their ruthlessness. The fire inside them consumed them." He explains.
"Did you know these people?" The women asks.
"Yes. My mother and father have died. Far away they have died."
Hayami's and Kino's small child stands up and walks away into the sunset.
This is the end of my story. I hoped you enjoyed it. Just so there is no confusion this story takes place about 6 years after the war ending not immediately afterwards. I may write a sequel to this story explaining what happens to Hayami's and Kino's child after all this happens but I haven't decided one way or the other yet. So until next time see ya.
