Following Butterflies

Final Fall

"Oh my dear Autumn. My love for you is strong. However my will is stronger." The chilling voice of Yukino Hua rang clear in the shoppe early that morning. "You and I were meant to kill each other. As Fate says. You delayed your own death to save your daughter and husband. Abandoned him. Only to die now. Alone and unloved." 

"My fall will not be the end. I have done all I need to ensure the fate of my child and the future if this world. Your time is nigh as well Yukino. My love was not strong enough to save you. Your balance became too much. And you lost your son to it. Your wife as well." 

"My wife and son.. I needed to leave them. They were on harm's path. My wife fell in harm's way. My son is safe. Perhaps the love I felt for you kept you safe. But how Fate's hands push me here." He seemed to be fighting with this action. "I am truly sorry we came to this ending. It seems that I have only followed his path as I was told to. My own blood left to perish alone." Struggling with his words. 

"My dear. I know it is not you who do these things. But the devil himself. And I want you to know I feel your pain. I should not have let you stay in my life. Knowing the consequence. But I held hope that you would change. That I would see that anger leave you and you would be a free man." She spoke so softly as if still reaching for that goal. To be able to set the chained man in front of her free. 

"I believed you would too. But the time has passed and you have failed my love unrequited." He whispered as well softly to the wind despairing for this one time in his life more than ever. "And I have no control over what I do. Lest I know you die." A single tear fell from his eye. 

"Be it may I can not fall with out a fight." She stood her guard. The stance of a graceful goddess. Standing in glorious battle. A sudden light to her frame. "I speak as the Butterfly's host. Goddess and Guardian of the Balance of the Universes. And forbade you Black Dragon from continuing on past my warm blooded body." A shadow followed the light clear balance between the two.

"I am son of the Black Dragon and hereby call for you to perish under my chaos. To fall the Butterfly and to see that my path be established to bring about darkness to the world." He stated a certain darkness that was overwhelming. He was saddened by this action. Struggling against his own actions.

"Then I have no choice but to kill you. My dear. Please forgive my broken heart." She said a final prayer before standing ready. As if by magic, though it surely was, she smiled as the light fractured into a blade and the darkness it's hilt. "A blessing from the gods and the tears of their fallen. I will keep balance or die trying. That is my sworn duty."

"Then you will surely die." He took on the form of something demonic. With wing of deep hellish black and horns jutting from odd angles. He was something from Hell. It could be debated he was the devil himself. 

And thus the battle ensued. he strikes first. A dirty undercut blow.Catching her off guard. She fell. Before getting up immediately. She didnt have time to tend to the minor as he went for her again. Each blow after a strike to kill. To her heart. To her head. A strike across her throat. If she were to be a bird he would be a hunter. He knew everything about her with only a matter of time before he rendered her useless. 

There was the flash of light, the inhale of darkness. The silence as both parties were in need of a break. Those were short however as they had no way to truly pause. Never knowing when the other might strike. A kill call on every motiong they took. In a matter of second one might cease to exist. They were fighting for more. And out if the two, Autumn was more so. She had so many things to protect to alter this future for. Her daughter at home. Her husband even father home. She would die alone and leave them.
