A golden Rose withering

Withering Away

"BOOOOO"

"YOU WITCH"

"YOU DESTROYED OUR TRUST"

"LIAR"

"YOU ARE CORRUPTED JUST LIKE THEM"

Voices booing in the crowd could be heard from all around.

A boy with long golden hair standing in the middle of it all. His golden eyes that used to shine bright, lost it's light.

Why did this happen?...

Why are they betraying me?...

Why...

Why...

Just anybody out there, Please answer my questions.

I want to know, why?...

"Oh dear, How pitiful, Aether. I will answer all your questions. But with a price."

"Hello, princess of the abyss, Lumine Viatry"

Lumine scowled hearing Her say her name.

"God of celestia"

Lumine said, enraged with the arrogant god in front of her. The God of Celesta was just amused with the girls antics, she knew that the little girl had no chance against her, yet here she was challenging her in her own domain, how pitiful and amusing.Okay then, a challenge you want, a challenge you will receive.

"Lumine Viatry." The god stood up from her throne, holding a small cube in her hand. Lumine readily went into a fighting stance; prepared to fight the god head on.

"Don't you know-" The God smirked. "-Your brother is of Celestia blood."

Lumine's grip on the sword loosened, her stance seemed more flimsy. She was distraught, she thought to herself that this was a trick, but it would explain so much in her life. Yet she just couldn't hold on to the truth, it hurted. It hurted so much. She won't believe that her brother is the same as the God in front of her.

No she wouldn't believe it.

She is willing to not believe just for the only person she has left in her life.

But, wouldn't that mean that she too also had Celestia Blood?...

Her eyes shot up to the God in front of her, who was sadistically smirking at her. She opened her mouth but before she could ask her question, the god spoke up.

"No worries Lumine, Only your brother had Celestia Blood, let's just say your brother is a miracle."

Lumine just stared in horror, she couldn't comprehend everything. The truth she has been holding onto was just a lie, she didn't know what was the truth, nor what was the lie. Everything was slowly breaking, her life was slowly cracking. If she could have heard her heart at the moment, it would have been the sound of breaking, and falling.

Her whole world she was living broke, it all fell to the hell of lies. Where she couldn't reach anymore, she reached the heaven of truth. The pain of reaching this Heavenly truth was losing the lie she lived with her whole life.

This was where Lumine's Journey Life ended.

The golden haired boy blankly stared at the crowd, and a beheading machine; the machine that would be his end. Pitiful truly.

Time was ticking slowly, like it was teasing him; teasing him about his end.

Then he felt a rock hit his head. His whole body moved to the side by the impact of such a small rock. How weak.

He looked to the crowd, seeing reckless Pallad with a furious expression on his face, his hands lifted up after throwing the rock. He just looked away, he didn't want to see anybody's expression in the crowd. Not like he can even see anything, with how blurry his vision became after staying in the dungeon for so long.

All that Aether could think of that moment was the clock ticking, and the sound of the bell chiming, signaling his death.

He lifted his head, then a sword came rushing behind him, before he knew it, Aether's body reacted and destroyed the sword with Celestia magic. Aether didn't know he could wield it, he just stared blankly at the broken sword behind him.

He knew that nothing was of use to him anymore, not Celestia magic nor anything else. His demise was just right before him, what was the use of fighting back?

Aether just took one look at the crowd, realizing nothing seemed so blurry anymore.

But seeing the expressions of those he helped throughout his adventure, looking at him as if he was just some witch that committed treason.

Something in his thoughts Snapped.

Why do I have to die so pitifully

Why are they looking at me like that

Why am I gonna die to these Humans?....

Aether glared at the crowd, most of the people jumped back in fear, but still tried to keep their composure, But some just kept booing at him.

Aether created crystals with his Celestia magic, and broke the chains. Most of the people in the crowd started panicking, screaming nonsense like "AHHH! WERE ALL GONNA DIE!" "WERE GONNA DIE TO A WITCH"

It's truly a miserable show.

Guards showed up to the scene, surrounding Aether from all sides. The biggest guard screamed "BOYS, LET'S SHOW THIS WITCH WHO IS THE BOSS AROUND HERE." Most of the Guards started charging at Aether quickly. Before the Guards could reach Aether, Aether created crystals right at their neck, stopping the men from charging at him.

Aether scanned each Guard, he saw a scrawny young man shivering in fear. He made the crystals vanish, then started running to the Guard screaming for his life.

Though the Guard was expecting to be killed he instead felt his sword be swiftly removed from his hands. The guard looked back to see Aether holding the sword in his hands.

Aether lifted the sword to his neck.

Everybody was confused, they didn't know what was Aether's next move. His face was unreadable at the moment. They still stood on guard waiting for his next move.

Aether took a deep breath, Glaring at all the people still left in the crowd.

"All the betrayal and pain you gave me, really fucking hurt-" Aether smiled lightly "-So I'll make sure your lives will also be the same."

Blood splattered everywhere. Was this the end of Aether Viatry?...

"Ugh..." A small golden haired boy groaned.

The boy looked up to see a pristine ceiling, quite familiar to him. He stood up, then the sight he saw stunned him.

The boy held his cheek. "Am I back to my younger self?..."
