I look up and see a sky full of stars. How can that be?
I stand up and take a look at my surroundings. Other than the stars above me, there is nothing.
I don't know what to do now. I thought I knew what I was doing. Somehow Legacy was in my head again like she used to be, telling me what I had to do.
Maybe I'm dead. Maybe this is how death feels. When you die, you're just released into a world of a million suns, set free into them, into the universe.
But yet somehow I don't think I'm dead. I know it seems dark down here, it seems confusing, but this is where I'm supposed to be. This is how I'm supposed to destroy this thing.
I look up at the stars again, and I find the one that I have always been told to be Lorien's star. I reach up as if to touch it, though it's millions of miles away.
The sky lights up, exploding in a white firework of light, engulfing everything around me. I fall to my knees, shielding my eyes. I can't see anything. I can't do anything. And at this moment I think I truly must be dead.
