I slam the door open and the sound reverberates like a crack of thunder throughout the village. My legs give away beneath me, and I fall onto a pile of snow.
I slowly crawl, the freezing air burning my lungs with every breath. I think I might have over done it. However I couldn't stop, not until I've dragged myself far enough from this place.
Finally, I collapse and my vision blurs as I stare up at the endless gray sky, my chest rising and falling in a broken rhythm. A bitter laugh escapes my lips.
"I finally did it." I whisper, my voice cracking. "Zaria, Alaric, Lena, Leander, and Elara..." My tears fall freely now, carving hot trails down my frozen cheeks.
"I killed them all for you."
The words hang in the air and for a moment, silence reigns. My fingers dig into the snow, staining the snow red. I know I will never be able to wash the blood of my hands, but I don't regret it.
The snow falls heavier now and in the midst of the cold, I feel the faintest warmth - a memory.
Elara, my friend.
I close my eyes, letting the snow bury me as I wait to reunite with her.
