Thank you, child of light, for releasing my soul.

I wake in a pile of ash. My swords have disappeared. The town is in ruins. I start to move over to the small house stumbling and tripping, because I am tired, I don't remember what happened, but I remember one thing, that Skye is gone. The image of him being blasted away returns, I collapse to the ground. Heart heavy, and I can't think. Tears run down my face, and I remember when my parents died, and I know how it happened.

Because of me.

I scream. Tears of agony run down my face like a never-ending waterfall.

Why!

Why must I be so ignorant!

I scream again, and I take my pain out on the dead beast hoping that it would give me an answer. I continue to beat it until I cannot. I fall to my knees, I hear his voice, it continues to say, "I'm fine"

"I'm fine" continues to echo in my mind, as I gaze at the sky I collapse, hoping that it is the same sky filled stars just like that night. I can't stop the tears from falling as my last thought comes to mind.

I know he is fine.
