A random ending

this was an alternate ending to an RP.

It will not make sense

I will elaborate if asked

The only reason it's on here is because it's the perfect combo of angst and main-character-dies ending

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just died. The world ended and nothing but this place is left.

And i realized I was an absolute jerk while I was alive. I killed every single person in my world. My friends and family. All to try and create a safer world for the ones I loved and lost. It doesn't matter now. I'm dead and gone. So are they. Why did I let the power blind me? I was such a derp.

I looked down at my hand. All I can see is the corruption that blinded me for eons. Power? A gift? Never. I should have kept to what I swore all those year ago.

I hear a small voice. A familiar voice. The voice of someone I love with all my heart. The voice of my son.

"Daddy? You're back! Mommy told me you never would be, but she was wrong!"

I stiffened up at the hug my son gave me.

"Daddy? What's wrong?"

I held my breath. I don't know what to tell him.

"I need to go fix something. And remember, I will always love you."

Yenoi looked at me with his big eyes, one purple and one green. I can tell he loves me even after all I've done.

I left him to go find Axi. she probably hates me. Even I hate me. Still, maybe I can fix this.

Suddenly, I spotted her. She was giving a speech. She was always a great leader.

Trying to forget my nerves, I called out to her.

"Axi!"

I watched her head turn and her eyes lock onto mine. My heart is going a thousand miles an hour.

One word.

"You."

All I could do was say my part. And try to fix this mess.

"Nothing I can say would make this right. I was corrupted by the power. It made me lose track of what mattered. All I can say is that I'm sorry."

I summoned a new world. Hopefully they could be happy there.

I watched as they stepped through the portal. Hesitating, I follow.

"I need to destroy these powers. All they do is hurt."

Running, I quickly found the end portal. Axi was right behind me. I need to get there fast.

Jumping through, I knew there was only one way.

I see her coming through the portal as I fall into the void. I told it to kill me and to never bring me back. I needed to die to rid the world of this power. More than that, I deserved to die.

She leaned over the void and watched me fall. A single purple tear landed on my chest as I fell.

The void unwrapped itself from around me like it was alive. I realized it was not the void whose powers I had and whose puppet I was, but what had created it.

I was of the skulk.

Free from its grasp, I was me for the first time in millenia.

I made peace with the fact that I was to die ridding the world of a great evil.

The world was lost to black.
