"Only two more left to die." Prince said to the wind. "The war will be over, then."

Wind cannot talk back. Prince was having empty conversations. There was a time, once, where xe could speak to the winds and nature itself but this weird world didn't let xem. It was too quiet, so xe filled the void of sound with xyr words.

"Mask, Skull, or Army. I wonder who will win?"

Prince had figured out the words on the tree. The widow was Army. It had to be him. He was the one most enraged by the death of his lover. Skull counted as the mother, he couldn't also be the widow. Goggles wouldn't dare hurt anyone and Avi would probably be in the prophecy as "The father"

Emperor wouldn't be as enraged if Gloves died so that left Army as the widow.

"Well," Prince said to xemself. "I might as well speed this up."

Xe stepped into the river, the water cool on xyr skin. Xe ducked xyr head under the current, letting xemself get consumed by the waters.

>Prince drowned. Prince has lost all of their lives!

Regent's com buzzed. When he checked it, his eyes widened. "No. No!"

Skull lifted his head from his arrow-making. "What is it?"

"Prince, xe... Xe died."

There was a silence. Prince, the middle ground of the war, had fallen.

"...Well," Skull started. "Welcome to the start of the end, then."
