A/N - Here it is. Super short, I know. That's why I decided to post it early. I'm going to try my hardest to make my chapters longer with the exception of prologues and epilogues. Thank you everybody for sticking through to the end. If you haven't already, please vote in the pole on my bio page to help me decide what story to write next. I hope you guys enjoy!
"We're all monsters…" Those words never left me. It's only now though, that I understand who the monsters are. They're not just conduits. ALL of us… are monsters. But conduits? Conduits have control. Humans let fear run their lives day in and day out. As a result, actions are made before the decision can take place. We think clearly, because we don't let a petty thing like fear get in our way. Delsin was a perfect example.
His death came as a surprise to everyone… including me. He was so powerful, and with John's power, he was unstoppable. However, he turned out to be just as weak as Augustine. The people lashed out at the United States government. Conduits and conduit supporters alike started protesting across the country. It started in Seattle, and slowly spread eastward, like a plague. Soon enough, peaceful protests turned into violent revolts, and the people grew scared.
The First Sons was eventually dissolved, and the conduits that lived there were once again free to do as they wish. Their leader, Alex Cooper, went into hiding, no doubt planning on what to do next. Sam and Eugene also went into hiding after Delsin's execution. Ashton and Sebastian were transferred over to new custody, where they would be put to work. I don't feel comfortable putting conduits' lives into the hands of a human, but it had to be done, to get to Augustine. As for me… I continue the fight. They declared war against us, and it's my job to do whatever it takes, to ensure we win this war.
Augustine is gone. Cole is gone. Delsin… is gone. They had all failed to prevent the inevitable. Now it's up to me. The flames of war are upon us… and Delsin… was the spark.
