A Dream Come True
Epilogue
Pitch Black was left with only pain, humiliation and regrets over the following months after the battle with the Guardians.
He had gained yet lost so much during the previous year that he was left despondent and plagued with voices and moments from the ghosts of the previous year.
Flashback
"I saw a child today and they said they believed in the boogeyman to their friends. One of the same children I used my magic on." Misery told Pitch after her patrol one day.
Pitch lowered his eyes in response to this statement, he knew this day was going to come, but he didn't think it would happen so soon.
"How dare you take advantage of my magic for your own purposes! The boogeyman is not meant to be believed in by children. Children are meant to be happy and not have to worry about monsters." Misery emphasized the last word coldly.
Pitch frowned slightly but remained silent.
"Leave this place and don't come back until you have realized the gravity of your actions." Misery commanded Pitch.
Pitch obeyed her and turned into a shadow and left the cabin.
Present day
Pitch internally struggled for months, trying to get courage to see Misery again, finding the perfect way to apologize and explain for his actions and fighting against his will to remain sad and do nothing to resolve the situation.
One day Pitch strategically decided to visit Misery on Easter, the date when they first met.
Pitch knocked on the cabin door.
Inside the cabin Pitch could hear a baby crying. Pitch's eyes widened and he smiled for the first time in many months.
Misery opened the door, her face exhibiting an aloof countenance.
"Misery... I'm sorry." Pitch apologized sincerely.
Misery said nothing and waited a few seconds before her face spread into a smile and she hugged Pitch.
"It took you long enough." Misery reproached Pitch in a loving way.
The two then withdrew from the hug and walked into the cabin.
There was new addition to the cabin however, as Pitch spied a crib in the room.
The crib contained a baby wrapped in blankets.
The child had dark blue eyes like her mother and short black hair and grey skin like her father.
"When you never came back I lost hope, you're so good at doing that and since she takes up so much after you. I named her Despair."
Misery told Pitch, while Pitch's eyes were glued to his daughter.
"I promise that I will never leave my girls ever again." Pitch promised, making Misery smile.
The two then embraced and kissed for the first time in months, marking the start of a wonderful new life for Pitch, Misery and their daughter.
THE END (FOR REAL THIS TIME)
Merry Christmas guys! And surprise! One last chapter and a happy ending for Pitch!
I hope the ending wasn't too fluffy for you.
