Final chapter: Final moments of our beloved prince.
Eternity II
Kandrakar is the centre of eternity. An island of safety surrounded by nothing. Who builds a door into nothingness? Someone who knew he would come? He knows his destiny. No more prison walls. No more of their mercy. No more dreams filled with his parents' disappointed eyes. They didn't scream when he…
"I have made my decision…"And he does it. He completes the step that will bring him out of balance, lets gravitation do the rest. The look on the girls' faces almost makes him laugh, but behind them he can see Elyon, and her quiet forgiveness burns him.
"In all eternity, I will fall…"He remembers… "Come to me, Cedric." …how much fun it was to hurt him, heal him, twist him around his little finger until he was beyond salvation, beyond escape, unable to decide whether he loved or hated his master. Those whispered confessions, what did they mean to him? In those moments Phobos had known they were true.
"…in emptiness…"
The air is so breathable, and yet he cannot take a breath. He claws the air, wants to make justice bleed for what it has done to him. Meridian was his! Laws can be rewritten, but the desires of the heart cannot.
"…but no one will ever imprison me…
Eternity is forever. It is endless possibility, repetition and discovery. For Phobos it is this. Falling. Phobos knows eternity.
"…ever again."
