Shadow

Goodbye Future, Good morning Past

Mayura Pov As Mayura walked threw the battlefield that looked more like hell. Bodies of basura and exorcists laying on the floor. The more I walked the more I lost myself I kept seeing the people I cared most for laying emotionlessly on the floor. Until I stopped at one body.

"I don't know why it hurts, why did it hurt when I see your face instead of his?" I asked myself, I inched closer to him he had bruises and cuts everywhere. Until I noticed a letter in his scarf I pulled it out and saw that it was addressed to me.

Dear Mayura

I probably won't make it out of this battle alive but I know you will strive without me. From the first day, I met you I knew my life was complete. Whenever I talked to you I forget everything that's happened or what's going to happen. Whenever you laughed I couldn't help but smile like an idiot. Whenever I see you smile I could feel all my worries fae away. I always imagined a family with you with our children running around the Amawaka and Ikaruga compound and how were chasing them around with a smile on our faces. But I knew it would always be a dream. But I'm so glad I met you no matter what happens to me. At least I know you are safe and sound and one more thing I want to say to you I LOVE YOU MAYURA AMAWAKA

From Shimon

As I read the letter i read letter i didn't notice the tears rolling down my cheek and onto the paper. I cradled Shimon's body tightly screaming in agony.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, plz comeback, plz comeback Shimon" I whispered before I felt something pierce threw my heart. I look behind me and see a kagare smiling as the kagare the stabbing me I shielded Shimon. Until they suddenly stopped I look up to see the 12 guardian talismans circling me. As I looked at every single one I remembered their faces smiling.

Until I was in an empty white room and the walls covered in my memories.

"huh so this is what they meant when your life flashes before your eyes," I said to myself, as I walked around the room I felt nostalgia fill my bones.

but after walking threw all of my memories I noticed that every single one of them had something in common. Shimon staring behind me smiling

I drop to my knees as I went to the memory I cherished the most. It wasn't of me and Roku's first meeting, my dad and I training, or when I first became an exorcist.

it was of me and Shimon fighting in Magano together side by side with no fear.

As I smile at the memory I look around the room one more time before a door opened to me. But I didn't have any fear and opened the door with a smile on my face knowing that it will be okay.

But I was greeted with a blank ceiling, my eyebrows bunch together in confusion as I sat up noticing I was on a bed.

"Could I have survived? no impossible" I asked myself before slowly getting up from the bed and walking around the room before coming to a realization.

"wait isn't this my room?" I asked myself before, I thought I saw movement in the corner of my eye. I turn around swiftly only to be greeted by my 14-year-old self?
