Darkstalker's Goodbye: A WOF Au

~Chapter 9~

Clearsight led Darkstalker to the beach. He was surprised to find Arctic, Fathom, Whiteout, and Sunstreak there. They were having conversations Darkstalker could never guess about. They all turned their attention to Darkstalker as Clearsight smiled at them.

"Hey Darkstalker," Fathom said, waving. Darkstalker was speechless. Why was everyone smiling at him. Whiteout herself was blinking back tears. Clearsight nudged Darkstalker forward. He nodded walking up to Whiteout.

"Goodbye Whiteout," Darkstalker whispered, he couldn't remember much of her. His memories were gone. Her wings wrapped around him. Darkstalker was hit by a headache.

Whiteout crying to herself after Clearsight had told them he was gone...

Whiteout being comforted by Thoughtful, a NightWing that would soon be her mate...

Whiteout down proudly at funny little dragonets, her face upset as they would be forced to live within the volcano...

Darkstalker blinked in shock. Did he just watch her life? He looked down at his own talons. Now he finally understood his own sister. He understood what it meant to be her.

It was beautiful.

Darkstalker looked at Arctic. The IceWing let out a small gente nod. Darkstalker smiled back. He didn't need to hug him in order to see his life story.

Darkstalker walked back to Clearsight. "I'm ready." He was barely able to remember who she was. But the feeling. It was still in there.

"I'm sorry for all the evil I've done," Darkstalker announced, fear rising. "I... I thought what I have been doing was the right thing, and since I was the most powerful dragon in all Pyrrhia, I thought it was my duty to make it all perfect forever."

Darkstalker inhaled. "Father. I'm sorry for not being a great son. Fathom, I'm sorry for not listening to you. Whiteout, I'm sorry for not taking care of you. Clearsight... I'm sorry... For-"

Clearsight nodded, she broke down. Darkstalker smiled and walked up to her. "It's alright. I'll be back, somehow. And then we could have those moments of friendship," he looked at Sunstreak, "Take care of her forever, will you. Love her with all your heart."

"Already have been and always will," Sunstreak said with a nod.

Darkstalker was ready. He was not a killer hiding in the dark, like a stalker. He would bring peace. He would make many things. That would be his mission now...

And with that, Darkstalker closed his eyes and the dragon disintegrated into the wind...
