𝟛𝟟

Late the night after, you dragged yourself out of bed and stretched at the doorway

The floor was cold to the touch, and the freezing air made you tense up in discomfort

This is it...Today's the day

You look around your room, realizing what day it is, and sit back down on the bed. You'd been sleeping for almost the entire day, exhausted from the anticipation. You'll want to conserve as much energy as possible before this event

To your left, a tray of food is sitting on the bedside table. You smile a little

Aoi brought me extra rations...this is something Inosuke would have liked. I hope the both of them are alright

You then pull the tray onto your lap and begin tearing into your food ravenously. It's been a while since you've eaten so well.

When you finished eating, you didn't leave a single crumb behind.

"ALL SWORDSMEN HEAD TO THE FRONT OF HEADQUARTERS IMMEDIATELY! THERE'S BEEN AN ATTACK! I REPEAT, ALL SWORDSMEN TO THEIR PLACES IMMEDIATELY"

Your heart sank and your blood ran cold. The voice of the crow's call rang in your ears as you threw yourself out of bed, picking up your sword on the way out

All around you, other swordsmen are scrambling to get to their places. Their faces are all expressions of true horror. Some even held back in fear, getting trampled by the rest

"GET TO THE FRONTLINES QUICKLY!!" the crow caws, dipping past the crowd

You push your way to the front of the group, and when you got outside, you saw the blood-red eyes of a creature so volatile

For a moment, all is quiet, and everyone stops moving

Something cold touches you and you shiver

You flinch as the snowflakes drift down from the sky, catching one on your nose.

The first snow... You think, gazing up at the grey clouds above

I'm coming for you Muzan. You're going to die, once and for all.

(I shortened everything into two paragraphs so that I don't spoil anything major UvU but there's still minor spoilers so IG you can skip if you wanna)

˜"*°•.˜"*°• The final battle •°*"˜.•°*"˜

Muzan Kibutsuji was defeated, but at the cost of many, many lives

Slaying every last one of his demons, the demon slayer corps reigned victoriously and earned it by fighting valiantly.

You hung back during most of it, trying to stay alive and conserve your energy. As the fight progressed, the pace of snowfall increased and before you knew it, a blizzard was upon you.

You've faced many demons and the inhumanity that they display. You finally come to understand why Tanjiro pities them--it's all a front, to hide their shame, and their regret.

The most alarming thing about the final battle was that everyone was moving in on their target too fast for you to keep tabs on everyone.

You thought you might've seen Zenitsu zipping past a few times, and maybe a tuft of red hair somewhere, but there was no sign of Inosuke anywhere. You had to push back the urge to give in to emotion and search for him

The last thing you recall before blacking out was seeing Muzan wither away at daybreak, standing over the mangled corpses of other swordsmen.

Everything has gone dark now. Every fiber of your muscles, vein in your body, has dedicated its very last effort to this fight and now you're unconscious.

Truthfully, you think that you are dead. You've spent so much time and effort making yourself a better person, becoming stronger, and finally, you've achieved what most people didn't think you could.

You may not have been able to see it, but you could feel that you and your friends have reached your full potential. All the lives this man took have been avenged, once and for all.

It's finally over.
