Garlox quest

Chapter 63 : Last of me.

'I never thought, dare I say dreamed about this moment. The sacrifices I made were far too big, but this was something that had to be done. Something I would be praised for, and maybe even forgiven for what I have put myself, and my friends through... I think not, this is more of a... personal thing. I wished that more people had to face the same conflict as I do, because in some way I feel destroyed, cheated on... No more am I the woman people looked up to. No longer am I the heroine of my own story. I can't even bare to look myself in the eyes when I pass a mirror. I feel sick to my stomach, representing something I despice that much.. Yet, soon it will all be over. Soon I will try to rebuild my life in it's former glory. That is if people will allow me to. I had disappeared several months ago, as everything I had fought for had been taken away from me. I left, my head filled with both shame and anger. I felt like a dissapointment, especially when I keep in mind where I'm from. But, I realised. I was the strongest of my family, they didn't strive perfection as much as I did! Secondly, I'm the only one who's still alive. All of them had perished.  Some may or may not have been my fault, but I cannot turn back the hands of time. All I can do is make sure that I keep, regain the respect I Always had. As I heard, Pannack has been crumbling after I took my leave. I wish to re-shape the country I love with my own two hands. This infiltration has been a great succes, I have gained the trust of these people, as of today I am going to be honored by Shimasta herself.. At that moment I will strike. I will pierce her throat with this dagger I took from the same woman that I ambushed this many months ago. Apperantly, her name was Deagro. It's a name I have grown acustommed to. Many months I have been called by this name, Many months have I been living the life of a woman I do not know, but already despice. The hate I carry for her, and the many people akin to her has been reflected upon myself. I hope to get over this hate as soon as possible. As soon as I fullfill my duty that is worthless in one other's eye. Please, grand me strength.' Queenly quickly glanced at her reflection, but was still too shocked to stare at it longer than just a moment. Her hair had been cut short, her skin had grown darker. No longer was she the princess that was celebrated back home. 'I will be home soon, papa.' 

'You wouldn't believe the day I'm having right now.' Alice slammed the door behind her shut, and took a seat in her favourite hiding spot. 'What's up marshmallow?' A girl with short black braids, and a pair of thick glasses on her nose,  curiously took notice of Alice. 'You wouldn't even believe it Marlane.' Alice slammed her face against the bar, almost dozing off. 'B-but.. Did you write it down?!' Without lifiting her head, Alice handed the newly written script to the bartender of the maid cafe. Speedily, Marlane's eyes started to analyse the story. 'Uhu. uhuh... What?!' Marlane had reached the end pretty quickly, and slammed the written piece on the counter. 'Marshmallow! This part is even better than before, how does he come up with stories like this?! This would be the perfect plot for another cardseries of Digiland!' Marlane spun around, and struck a pose. 'Digiland, the never ending worlds collide!' Alice looked up a bit, and put the drawing she had made of Queenly on the bar as well. 'Queenly? What's up with her? Apart from the Obvious daddy issues.' 'Hey!' Alice got up, and glared at Marlane. 'Queenly is a highly developed character with a touching backstory!' Marlane shrugged, and spun another circle. 'Nah, I don't think so! I would rather have a good date with Lynch.' Alice held the drawing in front of her, and could see Queenly even better. 'I saw her today. She protected me at the hospital.'  'What?! Like a real Digiland appearance?! With the Zoing, and the woosh, and the dust, and the light and-' Alice quickly put her hand on Marlane's mouth, and nodded. 'Don't you know how dangerous it is for me to keep this story with me? What if they find out?' Marlane could barely hide her excitement. 'Ohw, Marshmallow.. I could only wish to be a digiland competitor. I know it's your dream as well!' 'It would be fun to join in, but this isn't my land, you know? It's someone else's. He's a digiland creator, not me.' Alice eyes wandered off to the old tv that was placed in the corner. She could see two digiland creators battle against each other. 'Such an amazing game, right?! Fufufu. No wonder everybody around the globe is hooked. The last time someone new was introduced, they got their own parade and even an national holiday! You should grab this chance Marshmallow!' Alice put the pieces of paper away, and sighed. 'Just pour me a hot cup of cocoa will you?'

'Where did I leave my keys?!' Alice was hastily feeling the inside of her bag as she was waiting outside her flat. 'Oh, wait.. I remember now..' she could faintly remember throwing it at one of the two monsters that approached her at the hospital. A bit embarrassed she rang her upstairs neighbour. 'Miss Kowalski, can you please let me in? It's Alice, I lost my keys.' As she awkwardly looked around, keeping her bag close, misses Kowalski replied. 'Alice no here, you come back try again tomorrow yes? Bye' Alice frowned and rang her once more. 'No, I'm standing down here. Can you please open the door?' 'Go away I call police!' Alice let out an irritated groan. 'Thanks misses Kowalski....' she sat down on the porch, and angrily looked over the crowded park. 'What brings a gal like you all alone here? Don't you have a boyfriend who takes care of you?' Even more embarrassed, Alice stood up and replied to the gentle voice. 'N-no I Don't, I'm single actually.' 'Good.' The man replied as he stepped out of the shadows. 'Hand over your purse baby doll, no one will get hurt if you do as I say.' The, not so kind, stranger pulled a knife, and aimed it at alice. 'N-no you can't have it! Leave me alone!' Alice tried to ring misses Kowalski one more time, but all she could hear was angry shouting. 'I'm losing my patience here, baby doll. Just hand it over and we're done.' Alice thought for a second, and decided to run for it. 'Get away from me you monster!' As she was halfway across, the man tackled her, and put the knife against her neck. 'That's the wrong answer. Now I want more than just that pretty purse of yours.' Alice could feel the man's hands running down her back. As Alice had surrendered herself to her faith, her purse began to illuminate. 'What's this? The man quickly got off alice's back, and dropped the knife. 'I wasn't going to hurt a digiland player, honest to god. It's just a misunderstanding. He tried to back away slowly, his hands in the air. 'I didn't want to do this...' Alice opened her purse, and a pillar of light was shot way in to the sky. All the characters that she had written down for her patient, cloaked themselves with said light, and braced themselves for a fight. A young Egyptian like princess, a self trained assassin and a wobbly knight came to her aid. Many people had gathered, and pulled out their cellphones. Taking pictures, recording the new digilander and her loyal followers. 'N-no..  I was wrong.. I wrote about these people, I am the digiland competitor!' Alice raised her hand, and shouted.  'Tony, Ankha, Lynch.. show me your powers! Dust particles arose, taking the shape of the three heroes that Alice knew so well. 'P-please, have mercy on me!' Alice lowered her hand, and gave the command to shred the enemy to pieces.
