Sara's Pov:

Kina's elven magic was fast, was strong. Despite her warm demeanor, she's powerful and even I sometimes forget that she's a fierce warrior.

Her energy shield is up as Kaname's blade swings into block and cut the Elder, followed by Mizu's arrow shot hundreds of feet away from horseback to finish the job.

And then the blood starts pouring, and I can't stop watching.

Because he is beautiful as he slaughters them all. Kaname. He is magnificent as he becomes one with his blade, with his power. Swinging and stabbing and turning all things around him to ash.

It is hauntingly beautiful, and even in this chaos, this mass of destruction of titans clashing, there is still the melody of his power. The resonance of his chaos magic is it reduces all it touches to dust.

Is this the power my son will have? The strength? This blackness? Hatred? Rage? Anger? This Chaos?

It is frightening to think about especially now, as the door to the future is block to me. The stars are re-aligning themselves because of this. Transforming shapes fates because this battle, the blood being split here is laying the foundations of it all.

And my son, my child, my beautiful Eiri, is at the center of it all. I can only hope someday he'll understand and he'll forgive me for the horrible things I've done, even though my actions were woven by the hands of Fate and not my own.

Though it was cruel and though my motivations were selfish, giving Eiri's blackness away, linking his Chaos magic with that wielder was necessary for his survival and was something that no mother wouldn't do. Had I not, it would have eaten him alive.

And in front of me, Kaname is destroying Heaven's legion. His blade and black magic is tearing them to pieces, leaving Mizu and the troops he is commanding in awe.

It is beautiful and frightening to know that my husband, the man I love is capable of such devastation.

And to know that Eiri's life will be decided on the outcome of this.

I rush forward, screaming.

"Stop!" I yell, my voice lost amongst the clang of swords and cries of pain "Stop!"

I push my way into the war zone where earth has blackened because of Kaname's rarely used Chaos magic.

"Stop! If you wish to destroy each other, start with me! Fear on my flesh. Drink of my blood!"

But my cries are to no avail. In the distance, Kina's eyes are on me, and I know it is time. In front of me, Kaname is mad with rage, unable to discern enemy from friend, burning everything in his path with his Devastation.

"Kaname..." I whisper, moving towards him, hoping he could hear me, knowing he wouldn't.

I rush forward, as he gathers his energy, coat flapping around him like wings. He moves in to strike at the angels again, releasing his power and I dive in front of its onslaught.

"Kaname..."
"CHAOS BLADE!"
And suddenly, everything stops.

The blade, traveling through the ground, pierces my flesh and it's magic spreads like poison through my body. This form cannot stand it, and I can feel it fading.

My Kaname, my dear, sweet Kaname. His eyes widen as he realizes what he's done. What I made him do and rushes forward, taking me into his arms.

Around us, the battle stops and the soldiers watch in awe as my body, as the Goddess of Light begins to fade into stardust.

"Sara! Oh God, what have I done?"
Only what was needed of you. Only what I asked of you.

I try to speak and blood fills my mouth. I'd never thought much about it before. It always seemed so... mortal. So temporary and fading.

My hand is on his face and tears fill my palm. He's screaming to me, but I can't hear him, I don't need to anymore, as I focus and find the door to the future opened and see Kaname and Eiri walking through it.

He's going to blame himself. Kina will blame him. Heaven will try to pretend this never happened, but it doesn't matter. The end result is the same.

Kaname kisses me gently, and Mizu is at his side, preparing to help clean up the mess he made.

And I fade, as all things do.
