Love til the end - Ydris x Reader fanfiction

24 - Pandoria's sky

Authors note: This chapter doesn't have any spoilers from the saving Anne quest in the game.

I haven't been in Pandoria for quite a while, I haven't spent much time here in general. But knowing that this place is where Ydris is from made me perceive it a bit differently. It does look beautiful and without Garnok this world wouldn't be too bad. I let out a deep breath. Seeing things like this made me calm down a bit, which is good. We entered a cave and I tried to catch up with Linda.

"Do I need to be worried, like is something going to happen to me?" I asked, Linda sighed.

"I don't remember seeing anyone in my vision, but I feel like you were there, but just you." I frowned. Linda seemed to notice my reaction and added "But like I said, it's just a feeling and none of this has to become reality, you know."

All of a sudden Concorde neighed. We all looked up in awe, inspecting a giant pink crystal -and inside of it was Anne.

"Anne!" Alex shouted.

"Wow.. I hope she is doing fine in there. I can't believe we got here and can finally bring Anne back home.." Linda said.

"Well, after we somehow break that crystal that is." Lisa replied.

"Don't worry Anne, we are gonna get you out of here." Alex seemed to be holding her feelings back.

But just as we were going to get things started, we heard footsteps approaching us from behind. Who could it be that followed us to Pandoria? We all turned around and let out a gasp. It was no one else than Darko. My heart started racing- but I wasn't scared of him, I was scared of the things that could happen now. I hoped it had nothing to to with the vision. I looked at Linda to see if she was giving me any signals but her eyes were fixiated on Darko.

"Well look who we got here. Took you quite some time to get this far. Your friend has been a lot of help to me." he smirked.

"Leave her alone! She is going home with us today!" Alex shouted. Darko continued talking, completely ignoring what just had been said.

"Thanks to your friend, Garnok will soon--" Darko couldn't finish his sentence. Alex struck him with a lightning and he stumbled back a bit. He let out a dry laugh. "Want to put up a real fight? So be it." Darko rammed his cane into the ground, red flames engulfed him, Alex and... me?? My heart started beating faster, thinking about the vision. But those flames soon disappeared and I found myself, Alex and Darko somewhere else in Pandoria. We just teleported. Good, the vision didn't happen yet.. I think. Wait no this isn't good, I don't wanna fight against Darko! Why am I here too in the first place?

I tried to not take part in the fight, it's best to get out of here. "Alex we need to leave and get Anne!" But Alex eyes were stuck on Darko's every move. He shot a fire ball right at her but she swiftly dodged.

"No, I need to get this over with!" I can't believe this girl.

"Now is not the time to fight or take revenge! It's dangerous." I shouted.

"Yeah no shit!" She responded and tried to attack Darko but failed. I should try finding the others, this isn't going anywhere until one of them gets hurt! As I turned away I heard a whimper and looked back.

"I'm gonna end this now" I heard Darko say from the distance.

"Alex!" she got shot, but not too bad. Her shoulder got scraped but I jumped off my horse to make sure she was alright. I could still see Darko from the corner of my eye. As I approached her I noticed something wasn't right. Why didn't Darko move? I looked up for a split second and he was... gone?

All of a sudden I saw a bright light, like a flash right in front of my eyes, followed by a loud sound. What happeed? Darko laughed.

"Not what I aimed for but even better. I guess you should have listened to your little friend"

I looked at Alex... she wasn't hurt. She just stared at me, eyes wide opened. Was I lying on the ground? But as I tried to move I noticed that I couldn't. Why can't I move?? Darko laughed again and teleported away right afterwards.

"[Y/N]....no..." Alex whispered crawling over to me. What was going on? I tried to look at myself and noticed that my skin was pink just like all the crystals here in Pandoria. "This can't be happening... please say something."

I tried to talk but I couldn't, I tried to scream but not a single sound left my mouth. Alex tried to talk to me but it was so hard to understand her. My lungs started burning, breathing became harder. But this wasn't in the vision? Then why is this happening to me... is this the end? I averted my gaze, I didn't want to see Alex crying.

Pandoria's sky was so different than ours. My gaze got lost in its stars and nebulas. Purple everywhere and it was so, so beautiful... Ydris.. All I wanted was to see Ydris again...

Was that too much to ask for? Was it?

I was thinking about all the things we could have still done together, all the words I could have told him. The only reason I went here was so I could finally be happy with Ydris when I get out. But he was right. What if I never come back? I dont't like the way this ends. This is not the happy ever after. The last time I saw him was when the girls dragged me out of his wagon. I wasn't ready to go... to never see him again

I can't leave Ydris behind. I have to.. see him again..

The damped sounds around me completly disappeared, my eyelids were becoming heavier. The beautiful purple colors turned into a black. And then it felt like a row of candles went out one by one, leaving my body cold and empty.
