A Final Farewell.

Farewell.

It was time.

The nephilim would grab a backpack he had filled with some items. He put the backpack on and began to walk. He was going on a hike for the time being, at least. . . That's what he told everyone. Orion would walk out his house and walked out of the city, toward the mountain region. Along the way he looked around the place, enjoying the city lights while he travelled. He finally got to the end of the city and entered the forest. He closed his eyes, eventually reaching into his pocket and pulling out his earphones, connecting them to his phone. He would place his earphones into his ears, beginning to walk while listening to some calming music. He treaded along the pathway that was marked from previous travelers, but.. Then he took a detour.Orion suddenly took a right turn on the path, going off trail as he walked through the dense forest, venturing further and further in until.. He found it. It was a much less dense part of the forest, which he found calming. Orion set his bag down, beginning to pull out the items he had brought with him. He had brought some snacks, a soda or two, some candy, a blanket, and...

Some rope.

Orion had place the rope back in the bag, for now. He would place the blanket on the floor, sitting down and beginning to eat away at the snacks he packed. He closed his eyes, the sounds of the outside world low compared to his music blasting through his headphones. He would then turn on his phone and went to his gallery, beginning to flip through the photos he had taken. Most of them were aesthetic like, ranging from a bowl full of Jolly Ranchers to a sakura tree at night. He found a couple which made him laugh, like one of him and his friends messing around, and another of when one of his friends were at his favorite park in Daten. Though, he skipped and found a group picture of him and his friends, all together and side by side, with Orion holding the phone out to get everyone in the picture, including himself obviously-. This photo caused Orion to stop swiping, smiling as he would then get an idea. He stood up, walking over and looking for something. 

Finally, he found it; a large tree with a sturdy, big trunk. He would then begin to carve the photo into the tree, going into extreme detail to get even the smallest details of the photo into it and writing two words and a shape below the photo. When he was finished, he stood back, proud of his work. He would walk back to his blanket and sat down, closing his eyes and remembering his past.. He was brought back to when he first met all his friends, remembering everything they said and what they did. As he thought of this, he felt comfortable, he felt like he was at peace. Orion would open his eyes, reaching for his bag and grabbing the rope. He would walk over to the same tree he had carved the photo in. He would smile, tying the semi-long rope into a noose. He would then tie the rope to a sturdy branch on the tree, then place his neck through the noose, and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath..

Nobody knows why he did it. Rumors have it he was tired of living the life he was forced to live, but people said different as he had friends by his side who he enjoyed being with. Others say he was disgusted in the world and didn't want to live beside such creatures anymore. Others say that he just wanted to go home, that he wanted to find some peace and quiet. But the night it happened.. Daten went quiet. The lights cut out and everyone could see, in the forest, there was a light shining.. Police were called, people were freaked out; but when people found out what happened, Civilians in Daten felt a sense of sadness. One of Daten's Guardians was gone, and there was no coming back for him. It was someone that, although there were many like him, people took for granted. He looked out for everyone the best he could, and put his life on the line to keep the city safe, and he didn't ask for praise for it. But he left the city with one thing; a landmark to help define Daten as the City of Angels and Demons.

Within the forest, where he had taken his own life, the forest around him was changed. The trees had beautiful, glowing neon flowers, and everything was peaceful. It was a spot for people to calm down and hide away if needed. It is said that, when Orion had passed, his power surged out into the forest, resulting in the transformation of the area around him. Though, one thing shined brighter than all.. The photo he had carved out in the tree was still there. With it, his powers made the words and symbol he engraved shine, revealing what they said.

' Perfect Times. '
