Chapter 25: Goodbye

____________________________


The only thing I hear is the wind blowing through the trees. The only thing I feel is the grass tickling my feet and legs. The only thing I see is a stone.

The stone with Father's body buried metres underneath it.

One day you are the most feared man on earth, and the next one you're under the ground.

Powerless. Mightless.

The only thing of you that still exists is memories in other peoples heads.

Stories that are being told.

Some people become legends.

Others just become dust without anybody noticing.

"Why... did you do all this? What was your motive?" I whisper. "Yes, it's unfair. But if you didn't start it, there wouldn't be heroes either."

"And if there were no heroes there wouldn't be villains," a voice behind me speaks.

I don't bother turning around. I already know it must've been Dabi who followed me.

"It's a cycle. When villains appear, there will be heroes too. When heroes appear, there will be villains too," he says.

An idea pops up in my head.

"Remember what you told me about changing my goal?" I say, finally standing up and looking at my brother.

"Yes? What about it?"

"I think I've found it. I don't want to be a hero. But I don't want to be a villain either. Killing innocent people is only going to keep the cycle up and hero's will keep appearing. I am going to bring back balance between two worlds. I am going to make an end to this cursed hero society."

I pause for a few seconds.

"When I die, I don't want to be like him," I say, pointing to Father's grave. "I don't want to end like dust. I'm going to end like a legend. Even after 100 generations people will still know my name. I will be known as the bridge between good and bad."

I turn my gaze up to the sky. Dark and full of stars.

"I am going to rewrite my stars. I am not the daughter of the strongest villain anymore."

I look back at Dabi and make my eyes glow.

"A purified soul, purifying the world."

Dabi looks at me with a puzzled expression.

"A purified soul? Purifying the world? Tsuki, what the hell?" he mumbles.

I laugh and place my hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry, you'll thank me later," I say with a smile. "Can I stay with you one more night?"

"What do you mean one more night?" he asks, his eyes widening.

"One more night before I'm going my own way," I say, my voice trembling a bit.

His eyes look worried and I can tell he feels the same as me.

"Sometimes you just gotta do what you must do to do what's right, even if it hurts..." my voice cracks and tears start filling my eyes. "So? Can I stay one more night?"
