Ten months later
You can hear the cheering from behind the gate. After Emory brought you to Felicity, they threw you into slavery. Long grueling days of labor turned into arena fights to prove your worth.
Seraphina has been in Misery since you escaped, the remaining soldiers of Misery were either corrupted or killed.
"They really like you." Says one of the Valkyrie guards.
Felicity is guarded by female soldiers called Valkyries, like Vanguard soldiers in Misery. They're ferocious warriors, one Valkyrie equal to five men.
You reach down and grab some dirt and rub your blistered hands.
"Ready?" She asks.
You nod.
The gate begins to rise. The cheering grows louder as the light penetrates the dark tunnel.

Clementine's POV
"He looks so much like you." Josephine says.
Louis cradles their child in his arms, "I definitely see it."
Josephine gave birth to a baby girl named Rosalyn not too long ago.
"You think?" You ask.
"He has Y/N's eyes." Says Josephine.
You haven't thought about Y/N in a while. With taking care of Jonathan and running the community, there wasn't a time your mind wandered to Y/N. Will Jonathan grow up to be like Y/N? What was Y/N even like, can you really remember?
"You haven't visited him in a while." Says Louis.
"I know."
You look down at Jonathan trying to stand up. He falls on his bottom and tries again.
"I'll go sometime. Not right now."
"Everything ok?" Says Josephine.
You sniff, "Yeah."

Kai's POV
You pick your sword and approach the last remaining demon left. An amalgamation of Gluttony's soldiers and a bull.
You look up to the leader of Felicity, Bryn. She nods.
"Look at me."
The demon raises his head and you slice his head clean off. You pick up the severed head and show it to the audience.
"Is this what you want!" You yell.
Bryn stands up, silencing the audience. She walks down into the arena with two Valkyries and Emory by her side. The Valkyries raise their spears at you. You drop your sword.
"Please Bryn, we need your help taking out Misery. They'll keep sending these things out and kill-" Emory is silenced.
"What shall we do, help in the crusade or be neutral?" Bryn asks the croud.
"Death to Misery!" The crowd chants.
"You have your answer." Bryn says walking away.
Emory looks at you, "So, you ready to take out a king?"
