The Final Hour

Chapter 20

So guys....this is it. The last chapter in this trilogy. *sobs*

This is the part where I'm supposed to thank all the friends and stuff that have gotten me through this, and supported me, but we get that at the end of every story. So I'm going to do something slightly different.

When I started these books, I was seriously depressed. I had just lost basically everything. Crappy times. But whatever. I never expected anybody to read any of these. At all. But I guess some of you thought it was interesting or whatever and it did take off.

You guys, because of your encouragement, literally pulled me out of my depression. This past year has been tough, and even though none of you personally know me-you guys were my safety net. Wattpad is the place I go when I can't deal with life and you guys always encourage me to metaphorically get back on the horse. So I needed to say thanks. Thank you can be pretty meaningless sometimes, but this is the most heartfelt thank you I can manage. I couldn't have done it without all of you. You have all made me a better writer and make me strive to work hard. I'm giving you all a cyber hug right now. :)

Anyway-enough with all of the cheesy stuff. I just wanted to say that you guys are the best! Even though this series is done, I'm not done writing, so I hope that you decide to check out some of my other work sometime! But if not, just know that you guys mean the world to me.
And there you have it! A 300 word authors note that most of you probably won't read. :)
I'll get on with the chapter now, but I'll leave you with one last song quote.

"And though where the road then takes me,
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell

Many places I have been
Many sorrows I have seen
But I don't regret
Nor will I forget
All who took that road with me"

I would put the whole song in here, but I think you guys are already mad at me for taking up this whole part. So I'll just go now. But thank you. Thank you so much.

Now on with the last chapter!!!!!

Eadu's POV

Thinking back, I wouldn't have done anything different. I always said I wished I could have changed details of my life, but thinking about it now, I'm proud of my decisions. Not everything was a cake walk, but then again, it never is is it?

When the stool is kicked out, I react immediately. I jump, using the falling stool as leverage. That gives me the extra second I need to rip through the twine binding my hands, and grab onto the wooden frame of the gallows above my head. I slice through my rope necklace and drop to the ground.

This all happens in a fraction of a second. But in that fraction of a second, chaos breaks loose.

Soldiers disguised as villagers pull out their weapons and start attacking the unprepared Echidninarian army. The Amazons appear out of the trees and start joining our men. Jaosh throws me a dagger. I catch it by the hilt. For a moment I stop and stare in wonder.

This is incredible. Not the war, or the bloody battle taking place before my eyes, but how well orchestrated it is. It must have taken days of planning. And I knew nothing about it. That's pretty incredible in itself.

"Stop gawking and start fighting!" Jaosh yells happily. He has a maniac grin on his face as he engages in battle with a opponent.

"Did you do this!?" I shout back over the noise.

Jaosh takes down his opponent.

"You know it!" He yells before charging at another enemy soldier.
