Finding What's Important
Epilogue : Dark Charade
A year.
A year had passed since the incident with vampire Demtatrin Rizhet. Everyone since had learned of the story, because the only person to survive was Lady Arianna. She had brought back the bodies of Seiji Kusanagi and Sora Tenshi, leaving the book where Rizhet had been sealed.
Let it rest there for all eternity, she thought to herself wearily.
There had been a proper funeral since then, Sora's family and Seiji's family coming to mourn for them both. Needless to say, there was not a single dry-eye to be found.
Lady Arianna spoke of everything that had happened to them as she watched them defeat and seal Rizhet to the book, how they had been forced to fight one another when Rizhet had taken control of Sora's mind, how Sora fought against Rizhet's hold on her mind, how Seiji had captured Rizhet, down to the very last detail where they had both sacrificed themselves to lock the vampire in the rusty, chained book.
The tale had long-since been circulating around Victoria Island, even towards the land of Ossyria to the land of Ludibrium, from a story to be told around a campfire to a story told at bedtime.
Slowly, regretfully, the true tale of two brave souls who had given their lives to seal a vampire had become a myth; something that, to some who didn't believe, simply wasn't true, mostly because of how ridiculous it was to them.
Perhaps, though, it would have been better that way.
"Now, you may be wondering how I know all this…"
A pair of menacing, spine-chilling, red, glowing eyes sprung from the darkness of the cave where Rizhet had been defeated.
"Let's just say… I'm not gone yet."
A hideous cackle rose from the depths, fading away as the piercing red eyes faded slowly as well.
Ah, crap, Rizhet's still alive. D: What to do, what to do?
Till next time,
