Hey everyone! Yeah, I feel bad cause I haven't updated in forever. I hope everyone enjoys the conclusion of the first part of a trilogy I'm working on. Please R&R...and I apologize for keeping you waiting for so long.
Chapter 12: The Shadow Horizon pt. 2
'Why? Why?!' I kept thinking to myself. 'Why did he have to die? Why couldn't I save him?' A picture of Ranulf's smiling face flashed through my mind and fresh tears trickled down my face. 'I won't let you live Pyra. I won't let you laugh over Ranulf's grave.' I felt power grow inside me that I've never felt before. With my new goal engraved in my mind I forced my body to move faster. I whipped around a corner and saw a red soldier lying on the ground, motionless. I crouched beside him and found a dagger in its sheath on the ground. I picked it up and slipped it through my belt when something grabbed my ankle. I froze in a panic and looked down. The soldier lying on the ground had a death grip on me. I was about to attack but I saw tears trickle down his face.
"Please…please, help me. Don't let that witch have me." He let out in a whisper.
I felt my anger towards the soldiers rise and I grabbed his wrist and pried it from my ankle. "Why should I?!" I yelled and tossed him aside. "You monsters have killed so many that I should finish you off right here and now."
He stared at me at first with a shocked look and then out of nowhere he smiled. I didn't know what to think. Was he trying to get me to let my guard down, or was he truly happy with my words? I couldn't tell if he was being sincere but I found myself loosening my grip on his wrist. He slipped his arm out of my hand and tried to sit up.
"You're right about one thing chick…" 'Chick?' I thought. "You probably have no reason to help me and you probably shouldn't but I'm not the monster that you just made me out to be." He still was barely audible but it seemed that he wasn't as pathetic.
"Oh, you're not are you? Then what are you doing on Pyra's side of the game huh?" I asked and all he did was give me a smile.
"Well, that's something that I can't tell you at this moment but maybe later on if you wish." He said with a bit of cockiness in his tone.
I felt my face heat up as I stared at his face. 'He's sort of cute.' I thought but I quickly snapped back into reality. He's the enemy; he's on the side that killed Ranulf. My goal was back in sights and I drew the dagger. I placed it under his chin and gave him my own smile. "You're going to show me where Pyra is or I will end your life right here."
I could see worry in his eyes but he nodded in agreement. "But if you want me to help you, you have to help me. I can't walk very easily with my injuries." I thought about it but reluctantly sheathed the dagger and helped him to his feet. He gave me another cocky smile and raised his eyebrows. "For someone who was going to kill me a couple seconds ago you're being very gentle."
"Shut it or I'll find my own way to Pyra."
"Ok, ok, man you can't take a joke; it's this way." He said and pointed down another corridor. "By the way I'm Garr, you?"
"Just keep walking." I said and to my relief Garr finally gave up on conversation. 'I wonder what the others are doing. I just hope they're safe.' I thought and gave a small sigh.
"Move it!!" Staci yelled and forced her way through a line of Bengian soldiers.
Staci drew her sword and slashed through the enemy, desperately trying to locate Ike.
"Staci, slow down and take a breather." Boyd said calmly and placed a hand on her shoulder. "If you want to find Ike then you have to just calm down and check your surroundings."
"I have a better idea." She said and raced over to a crowd of villagers with a couple soldiers guarding them. "Hey you, tell me where Commander Ike is!" She said with a threatening voice.
"How dare you talk to a soldier of Bengian, peasant! Now stay with the other villagers so you won't get hurt." He replied and grabbed her by the arm.
Staci twisted her arm out of his grip and with the same movement swung her sword up to his neck.
"Whoa, whoa, Staci I think you're a little uptight." Boyd said just arriving on the scene. "Just put away your sword and let me talk to him."
Staci slowly sheathed her sword and stood there impatiently as Boyd calmly explained the situation. The soldier's eyes grew wide and swiftly bowed to Staci. Surprised by his action Staci looked at Boyd who just smiled and she grew uncomfortable.
"I am sorry miss; I did not know who you were." He said still bowing low.
"Uh, right, whatever. Do you know where Commander Ike is then?" She asked trying to switch the subject.
The soldier stood straight and saluted. "Yes your grace, Ike was heading towards the throne room to protect her majesty Princess Elincia and the Empress."
Boyd and Staci gave each other worried looks. 'That's where Pyra is and probably Brenna.' Staci thought and a cold shiver ran down her spine at the thought of Prya. Boyd's face grew serious as he looked at Staci and turned to the soldier.
"Do you know anything else about the situation at the moment?" He asked and the soldier quickly saluted him too.
"Yes sir! Mia and Jill are with him but they didn't take any healers with them sir!" The soldier said with his best professional tone.
"Thanks, now stay here and man your post." Boyd said and grabbed Staci's hand.
Staci was so shocked by Boyd's action that she just let him drag her through the village. Once she recollected herself she tugged her hand free and followed Boyd into the main battle. They ran into the fray taking out a section of the main forces of the enemy. Staci saw an entrance to the castle that would lead straight to the throne room and turned towards it. Boyd noticed her change in direction and called to her.
"What are you doing?! Without a healer you can't possibly help them. Besides, Pyra is after your body and is extremely powerful. You can't win against them!" Boyd yelled, desperately trying to get through to her.
Staci turned and smiled. "I have to go and lend my strength. I promise that I won't try to fight Pyra myself but Ike could use some extra fire power." Staci giggled and drew her sword. An instant flame grew and danced around it. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
With that Staci ran off leaving Boyd standing there more worried now than ever.
"She's so stubborn." Boyd said under his breath and continued on to try and find Mist or Rhys.
Jess concentrated all of her energy on Ranulf's injury. Blue energy flowed over the wound and seeped in, healing from the inside out. Surcana placed two fingers on Ranulf's head and green energy poured out over his face.
"What are you doing?" Kieran asked nervously.
"I'm trying to sooth his conscious so he can wake up normal."
"Normal?" Kieran's face fell on Ranulf with a worried look.
"He was in shock when he lost conscious. If I don't sooth his mind he'll be in a lot of stress when he wakes up. Now if you don't mind this is hard enough without you distracting me." Surcana said with a harsh tone.
Kieran quickly backed off but he watched Surcana closely. 'What is she planning?' He thought to himself but his thoughts were interrupted with Jess finishing on Ranulf.
Jess dropped her arms to her sides in exhaustion but looked at Ranulf with hope. His wound had been completely sealed but he wasn't waking up. Jess leaned to the side and started to fall over but Kieran caught her and held her close. Jess closed her eyes and snuggled into his chest as he gently pulled her close. Kieran gave her a small smile but when he looked up Surcana was staring at them in wonder. Kieran's gentle face grew protective as he held Jess and glared at Surcana. Surcana's face flashed a bit of cockiness at Kieran but it was so brief that Kieran didn't know what to think.
Ranulf suddenly shot up breathing hard and shaking. "Wha…what happened?" He asked and looked at Kieran and Jess.
"You were stabbed from behind." Ranulf turned and saw Surcana kneeling beside him. His face started to blush as he gazed at Surcana but his mind quickly came back to reality.
"Where's Brenna?" He asked forcefully now looking at Jess.
"She was so upset about you that she ran off."
"And now she's on a destructive path to try and take revenge for your almost death." Surcana finished.
Ranulf's eyes grew and he tried to stand up but with little success. Kieran let go of Jess and took Ranulf's side. He draped Ranulf's arm around his shoulder and smiled.
"Who would have thought that the great Ranulf would need help from Kieran the amazing?" He said with a hint of cockiness and a big grin.
"Don't push it." Ranulf remarked and turned to Surcana. "Where did she go?"
"In your condition I can't allow you to gauge in battle, no matter what." She said and turned her back on him.
"If you don't tell me I'll just go looking for her anyway. I won't let her die seeking revenge." He said and motioned Kieran to start walking down the hallway.
Jess glanced at Surcana and slowly approached her. "I won't let anything happen to them, I promise. I'll get them to the throne room and that will allow you to do what you have to."
Surcana looked at her with shock. "How did you know?"
"It was kind of obvious after seeing your reaction to Brenna's outburst, but if your plan involves hurting her or Staci then I can also promise you that I'll fight back. I am a sister after all."
With that Jess joined Kieran and Ranulf and they all hurried down the hall. Surcana watched them leave and smirked. "I guess he really does care for her. I must find Shella before Pyra and complete the weapon." Surcana focused her energy and she vanished in a swirl of green magic.
"… and I said you can't expect me to eat this muck and she said you'll eat it even if I have to shove it down your throat! Well of course I was going to eat it. I just wanted to see how far I could go until I hit the end of her patience. I hit the end surprisingly soon and she threw me out the window. Do you think that's fair?"
"You completely lost me when you started to ramble on." I said.
Garr looked at my irritated face and a big grin appeared on his face.
"You know, you look cuter than my ex girlfriend when you're irritated."
I felt my face get hot for a second but I reminded myself of Ranulf and was able to calm down. "Let's keep going, you did promise to show me to Pyra." I said trying to get back on track.
"Oh, right, take a left up here and the main doors should be straight forward."
With hope of reaching Ike and taking my revenge on Pyra for Ranulf restored I perked up and moved faster, pulling Garr along. Just as we reached the corner Garr stopped.
"Uh Garr what's wrong?"
"Oh I um…" Garr looked perplexed and mot knowing what to do I just smiled. "Heh, you even look cuter when you smile." Garr said and innocently moved his face closer and smiled back.
Startled and a little embarrassed I pulled back. He did the same and an awkward silence formed. Trying to break away I quickly moved over to the corner and peeked around. I saw two bandits with axes and one with a sword guarding the royal doors.
"Dang it, there's guards and I don't have my bow and arrows!" I said when I addressed Garr.
"Don't worry fair maiden I, Garr of the Flying City, will be your knight in shining armor!" He exclaimed.
I suddenly had a case of déjà vu and a picture of Kieran entered my head.
"We're going to die." I said and sighed.
"Don't underestimate me. I am a solider after all." He winked at me and started around the corner.
"You moron, you're wounded!" I said as I tried to grab him but he slipped away and smiled as he marched down the hallway towards the guards.
I watched as Garr approached the guards with ease, his armor giving him the perfect disguise. I saw the guards look at him curiously as he grew near and one even gripped his sword. Garr waved and smiled trying to reassure that he was friendly. The guards started to talk to him and it seemed like there wasn't a problem until Garr pointed in my direction.
"Oh, no." I said and quickly hid around the corner. 'I can't believe I fell for his act. That jerk gave me away!' I thought.
I started to feel a slight breeze and a ball of green energy formed in front of my face. In the energy a beautiful bow and a quiver of arrows appeared. Without thinking I grabbed the weapon and slipped the quiver of bows over my head and strung an arrow with shaky hands. I kept breathing in and out steadily and finally was ready to fight. I peeked around the corner and saw Garr standing at the door, smiling in my direction, and the guards marching towards me. I gripped my arrow and pulled it back, ready to shoot when I saw Garr lift his spear and launch it at the middle guard. Shocked and confused the other four guards looked at Garr as he approached at a sprint. They drew their weapon against him but I jumped out from behind the corner and shot one of the guards in the back of the neck. With my distraction Garr was able to grab his spear back and attack another. I strung another arrow but had to quickly jump out of the way as a spearman jabbed at me. I allowed the wind to carry me to the side where I aimed and shot the third soldier in the side of the neck right below the armor. With a final fatal attack, Garr downed the last soldier and we stood there breathing heavily.
"There… how was that?" Garr asked in-between breaths.
I smiled and was about to say my thanks but a scream from the throne room interrupted my thoughts.
"That was Elincia!!" I said and ran for the door.
Garr followed and when we reached the door I grabbed the handles and flung them open. I froze as a saw Pyra on the throne, Elincia and the Empress in a cage of fire, and Mia surrounded by fire and floating in the air unconscious.
"Brenna!"
I turned to my left and saw Ike beaten up badly and bleeding heavily from his fighting arm. I also noticed his body was severely burned. Behind him was Jill shaking her wyvern, which was motionless. Elincia let out a helpless scream as Pyra released Mia and let her fall. Thinking fast I created a pocket of wind under her which caught her before she hit the ground. I called the wind to me and gently set Mia down by my side.
"This is my fight so take care of Mia and don't get in the way." I said addressing Garr.
Before he could answer I approached Pyra and strung an arrow on the mysterious bow.
"So, the little wind princess is going to play hero. This is going to be so much fun." She said with a vicious laugh.
"Princess?" Garr said under his breath and looked at me.
"This time it will turn out differently Pyra. This time I'll kill you along with that psycho Arson inside you." I said and aimed. "Die."
I shot the arrow and it was straight and true but with a flick of Pyra's wrist fire engulfed it. I dodged as she shot fire from her palms and managed to get a few shots off but all failed. She raised her hands and a wave of fire rushed towards me. I raised my arrow once more at her and focused my energy to the point until it glowed green.
"Wind, guide my arrow!" I shouted and released.
My arrow raced towards the sea of fire and cut through it right down the middle. Pyra's eyes changed from cocky to panic as my shot flew towards her face. Suddenly the arrow stopped and fell to the floor a few feet away from the target. In its place was Shella with her invisible barrier in front of Pyra.
"Shella! What are you doing?!" I yelled.
"I can't let you kill my sister." She said hanging her head in shame. "She's too precious to me."
Pyra took the chance and shoved Shella out of the way. She sent a stream of fire towards me and it wrapped around my waist, restraining my arms at my side. I felt a familiar burning on my arms and winced as Pyra raised me in the air. I closed my eyes to keep the tears from rolling down my face. 'I won't let her see me cry!' I thought as the flames cut into my skin.
"Now I will finally be rid of you, you little parasite." Pyra said with malice in her voice.
I braced myself for Pyra to crush me but instead of a victorious laughter I heard a battle cry and a clash of metal. I opened my eyes to see Staci and Pyra, sword to sword, on the throne. Staci pushed Pyra to the side with her sword, breaking Pyra's hold on me. I started to drop to the ground when I felt strong arms catch me in mid air and safely placed me on the ground.
"So how many times is that? I believe that I've saved your life…four times now."
I looked up into Ranulf's eyes and I couldn't keep my heart from instantly fluttering as he smiled at me.
"You're…you're…" I couldn't form words to express my happiness but I didn't have to since Ranulf scooped me up in his arms in a tight hug.
"I'm sorry I worried you." He said softly and pulled back to look at me.
"Look out!!"
I spun around to see Jess in front of us with a shield of water blocking a fire ball. Pyra moved around Staci with amazing and speed and knocked her in the back of the neck making her drop to the ground. Boyd jumped at Pyra, swinging his ax down on top of her but with her speed she easily avoided it leaving behind a hole in the ground. Boyd stood in front of Staci protectively with his ax in a defensive position. Staci struggled to get up, using her sword as a cane to pull herself up. Exhausted and injured, Staci faced Pyra with a cold stare. Boyd looked at her bloody arm and lip and started to help her but Staci stopped him with a soft touch to his shoulder.
"I'll be fine I promise." She said smiling at him and squeezing his shoulder for reassurance.
Boyd nodded and stepped back glaring at Pyra.
"You really think you can defeat me by yourself in your condition?" Pyra said mocking her.
Jess and I nodded at one another and rushed up to join Staci. Pyra looked irritated as we stood by Staci with weapons drawn and Jess' magic flowing.
"If you fight her you have to fight all of us." I said and strung an arrow.
"So be it!" Pyra yelled and a wall of fire formed around her.
The wall of fire raged towards us but jess quickly blocked it with her own water wall. When the fire wall was neutralized by jess' magic, Staci moved in swiftly and attacked with her sword. While Staci and Pyra clashed I pulled back on an arrow and aimed for Pyra's temple. Jess opened a slight hole in her shield for my arrow and I fired. The arrow whizzed past Staci and went straight for Pyra but she blocked it with her sword. Staci jumped back and rejoined us inside the shield as Pyra's anger began to grow. She refocused her eyes towards Jess. Instinctively Staci and I stepped in front of Jess and prepared to fight her off. Blades of wind spun around my bow and Staci's sword erupted in swirling flames. Pyra's eyes started to glow fire red and she snarled at us like a vicious monster.
"Arson." I said quietly to Jess and Staci.
Our body's tensed up as Arson took an awkward step forward in Pyra's possessed body. I looked at Staci and placed a protective hand on her shoulder as a cold sweat ran down her cheek. Jess started to tremble slightly as Arson smirked at our fear. Without warning Arson vanished and managed to get behind us in a split second. He rammed into the Jess' shield causing her to lose concentration for a second and for Staci and I to jump. We quickly located him but with Jess' concentration compromised Arson rammed the shield again and broke through without hesitation. I tried to jump out of the way but he grasped my throat in triumph and forced me back into a wall, dropping my weapon. I felt an impact on my head and it took every ounce of energy to keep from passing out, instead I grabbed his hand in attempt to release myself. Staci charged Arson with everything she had, swinging her sword vertically to catch his head but he side stepped as if he was messing with us. He then kicked sideways, hitting Staci in the hip and sending her across the room.
"You three have been very troublesome. If Pyra doesn't have the heart to kill you then I will." He said with an eerie voice.
Ranulf and Boyd started to run at Arson ready to attack but with a flick of his hand fire surrounded them. Garr started to go help but his reason got the better of him and he turned around to leave only to run into Surcana.
"Where do you think you're going?" She asked but before he could think of an excuse she pulled a dagger on him. "If you leave then I'll just have to think of you as an enemy and kill you. Now if you help out then I'll forget whose uniform you're wearing."
Garr reluctantly nodded and he was pulled by Surcana over to Shella. They helped her up and hurried to the cage of fire. When they reached Elincia and the empress, Shella stretched out her hands. A blue ripple of magic absorbed the cage and released its captives. Shella slumped to her knees in exhaustion and Garr leaned down to support her.
"Stay with her." Surcana said and rushed over to help Ranulf and Boyd.
I struggled with all my might to free myself but Arson laughed at me and tightened his grip.
"You and your sisters will fall then I'll take the fire sister's body and rule."
I spat at his face in frustration." If you want to rule…you'll have to get through me first."
He smirked at my stubbornness and was about to make the final move but a stream of blue water wrapped around his arm and yanked back. Arson let me drop and turned to face Jess.
"You annoying pest! You'll be the first to go." Arson yelled and a black orb formed in his palm. "I will seal your life forever."
"Jess, get down!" I yelled.
Jess froze in fear as Arson threw the black orb. I felt completely helpless as the attack grew closer. In a split second the black orb was ten feet away, Kieran jumped in front of Jess and they collided. All of us froze as Kieran's rosy skin seemed to drain of color and he dropped like a rag doll. Jess looked in shock as she stared at Kieran's lifeless body and inched closer. In a flood of rage I stood and socked Arson in the jaw, spinning him about a bit. He looked at me with fangs exposed and a trickle of blood running down his lip.
"Well, that was new." He said with laughter in his tone. "I've never been struck by a sister. You three are really something else."
He started to approach me but when he took a step forward a sword tip burrowed through his side. Shock filled his face as the tip was removed from him to show Staci, bruised and beaten up, behind him with her sword newly stained.
"That was for Kieran." She said and started to weave backwards
I jumped to her side and supported her with my shoulder. The wall of fire fell and the rest of our party first laid eyes on Kieran. Skin cold and depleted of color Jess scooped him up in trembling arms.
"Jess…" I started to say but I was interrupted with pain in my leg. I look in horror as black magic crawled from Arson's arm onto my leg he grasped.
"Oh, no." Surcana said and looked at Shella. "It's just as we feared, some on!" She exclaimed and they both ran to help.
"Wait, what's happening?!" Ranulf asked as he and Boyd followed.
"The sisters will be forever parted." Arson said and his magic spread further.
I pushed Staci sway from me, fearful of Arson's magic effecting her seal but I couldn't break free as the magic forced its way to my hip. It felt as if my body was being pulled apart. Ranulf quickly turned into his animal form and leapt at Arson. He locked on to Arson's arm with his sharp fangs and tried to shake him away from me. Between the pain and frustration Arson let me go and attacked Ranulf. The doors suddenly burst open and a flood of Daein soldiers rushed in, weapons drawn.
"Protect their highnesses and the sisters at all cost!" Ike said and struggled to stand. Garr readied his spear and guarded the princess, the empress and the unconscious Mia with Ike at his side. Jill stood in front of her hurt wyvern ready to fight. Boyd ran over to Staci's side and I tried to move but the magic held me in place.
"Don't struggle!" Surcana yelled at me.
I stopped but panic settled in as the magic reached my other leg and up to my chest. Shella placed a water shield around us for protection and Surcana placed her hands on my shoulders.
"You have to listen to me carefully." She said with urgency in her voice. "You and your sisters have to be strong and fulfill the prophesy. Go to the land of the Dragons. They will tell you what to do next." She leaned forward to whisper in my ear. "If you are swift, death could be avoided including heartache." She pulled back and as the magic reached my neck and covered my arms she smiled tenderly. "I have the utmost confidence in you. Be strong and take care of you sisters in the way I should have." She said and a green veil of energy wrapped around us both. The pain started to subside but the black magic was receding from my body to Surcana's.
"What are you doing?!" I asked panicking.
"Preserving the future." She answered and the magic transferred completely and covered her entirely.
Her original magi held me in place so I could only watch as Surcana vanished within the black. So much was happening so suddenly that my knees buckled and I slumped to the ground.
"Brenna!" Shella said and kneeled down next to me.
I saw Arson and Ranulf at each other's throats, cuts and bruises from battle. Arson was significantly slower due to his wound. Staci and Boyd were fighting side by side while guarding Jess as she wept over Kieran.
"Jess." I realized that Kieran was really dead and that she was in despair.
I quickly stood and ran to Jess with Shella following. As we drew near though an enemy wyvern rider swooped down from the hole in the ceiling and snatched Jess. My heart skipped a beat as I heard her scream and struggle in his grasp. I ran in a rage for my bow and quickly aimed my arrow at the wyvern rider. I shot but in my rage my aim was off and I watched as he carried Jess off in an ear splitting laughter. Things grew even more hopeless as we heard more soldiers from the enemy on their way. One came from behind and nicked Staci in the shoulder causing her to stumble, leaving her open. Boyd quickly came to her aid, scooped her up and dodged the soldiers to get to Shella. He set her down and Staci instantly came to my side.
"Shella, we can't keep this up any longer. What do we do?" Boyd asked breathing heavily.
Shella motioned us to follow her and we all rejoined at Ike's position. Ranulf fended off Arson but surprisingly Arson backed off and glared at Ranulf.
"If I were at my full strength you wouldn't stand a chance." He raised his hand and his body started to vanish. "The next time we meet you won't be so lucky." With that Arson disappeared in a roaring flame. Ranulf took a deep breath and quickly joined us.
"These Daein soldiers are after one thing and that is to destroy the sisters." Shella explained. "They can't stay here any longer."
"What? We can't leave. They just took away Jess and you want us to leave?!" I shouted in fury.
"We can't risk having you killed and if I'm correct then they won't kill her at the moment." Shella tried to reassure us.
"At the moment?" Staci repeated. "And you expect us to just go along with your hunch."
"You must or all hope will be lost. I promise that if you return to your own world for a time we will patch things up here and return you when it's safe, but for now you must listen." Shella turned to me. "Surcana did not make a sacrifice to see you die in battle. Please allow me to fulfill Surcana's wish."
I looked at Staci and we both knew that even if we refused, Ranulf, Boyd and Ike would insist and most likely force us. With heavy hearts we sighed and nodded to Shella.
Ranulf took me by the arm and lead me to the side in a hurry. He first looked at me and didn't say a word. 'At least Staci isn't watching.' I thought to myself since Boyd did the same.
"Brenna, I'm sorry that I haven't been there for you and I know it's hard but I make this promise to you now." He said and took my hand. "I will come back for you and we will all rescue Jess, no matter what."
He stared at me with caring eyes and I couldn't help but stare in awe. I nodded and he embraced me for what I knew was going to be the last time for a while.
We walked back and saw Staci and Boyd giving their goodbyes. They joined us holding hands and we all listened to Shella. She handed us our weapons, my bow with the wind symbol and Staci's sword with the fire symbol, as we took deep breaths. She motioned for Staci and I took step forward and we grasped each other's hand. We stepped forward and a sphere of water formed around us. Our necklaces started to glow and I felt the same sensation as I did when Jess and I first entered this world. I looked at Ranulf and his promise rang through my ears but I couldn't help wondering how long it would take.
"We'll get her back Brenna." Staci reassured me as the water swirled around us.
"Yeah, I know, but how long will that take and while we are busy getting Jess back what will Arson be planning with Pyra? I know that Shella and Surcana cared for their sister but she's no longer herself. We have to be ready to fight when we come back and the three of us will destroy him." I said with confidence.
"You do realize that that means we have to train in our world and you know how much we love that." Staci said with a touch of sarcasm in her voice.
I grinned at her playfully as the water spun to its peak and the world we came to know disappeared.
Yay!! The first part of my amazing trilogy is complete!! Muhahahahaha (evil laugh) So I experimented with the ending for this particular chapter for a total of three months!
