The Journey to the East The Journey to the Future The Journey to the End

Chapter 17

Congrats! You made it this far!

Ling's POV

I'M STILL CONFUSED HERE, why was my body acting all weird? All that rapid heart beating and that– whatever it is. Is it what they call...love? Or is it falling for someone? Doesn't make sense cause I won't hurt myself for her. Would I? AHHH WHY IS LIFE LIKE THIS?!

Miya's POV

As Alucard and I walked to the front to see the epic battle, we saw Zilong battling it out against a guy in purple. A woman in purple emerged from the bush, heavily bruised. 

"The Shard of Purple," I whispered, sensing that those two weren't the only ones under the control of the Shard of Purple. Again, I'm not sure if they're being controlled. I waited patiently for my skills to be done cooling down. I used my Conceal skill and ran behind the guy in purple, the woman in purple was in my range, so I used my CC skill to stun them. Alucard came over and blinked onto them, doing that love spell the second time today.

We watched in hope as the two were stunned. Hoping that it would work. My sixth sense telling me, "It's too late, the dust has seeped into their hearts, it's irreversible." I know that my sixth sense is never wrong, just– this time, let's hope it is.

After a moment, they were un-stunned. The purple guy turned around to face me, angry that I attacked him. He turned into this purple dragon and attacked everyone, stunning them all. No one could protect me. I needed to run.

And so I did, as fast as my legs could bring me. My heart pounding incessantly against my ribcages, and my breath was as heavy as an elephant. I was running like a mad horse on steroids, not stopping. I could tell my face was going red, very very very red, the rushing air burning through my throat. I stumbled upon a rock and fell down. I saw Alucard rushing over to stop the guy in purple, but he was too slow. 

Knowing it was probably the last moment of my life when Mr Purple blinked onto me and used his AoE. Alucard finally arrived, wanting to attack Mr Purple. Before Mr Purple could use his basic attack to end my measly life, I weakly held up my hand, knowing that whether or not Mr Purple attacks me or not, I would die in a matter of moment anyway. Alucard rushed over to my side and wrapped me in his arms

"S-stop," I uttered, using every last ounce of strength I could muster, "A-Alucard, tell E-Estes I'm-I'm sorry." I struggled to breathe, it was too hard. Before I plopped dead in his arms, I whispered, "I...love...you..." Then, I breathed my last and dropped dead. 

It ended then. I stepped out of my dead body and looked at its sorry state. I squatted beside Alucard and patted him on his shoulder, knowing he can't feel me, nor can he see me. Crystalline tears were trickling down his cheeks and landed on my corpse. He hugged my limp body close to his chest before standing up to face Mr Purple. Mr Purple thought that sorrow was more sufferable than death, so he left Alucard be. How do I know that? As a dead person/ghost, I can read minds. Mr Purple turned his back on Alucard and walked away.

Just then, the rest of the people made their way over and had many reactions upon the sight of my dead body. Some cried, some stayed nonchalant, some tried hard to show no emotion, but ended up crying harder than those who just cried. I felt bad for them, I wanted to let them know I'll be fine. I looked around, wondering what I could do... I looked up at the night sky. Seeing that the moon was covered by clouds, I picked up my bow and arrow that died with me (somehow) and shot the clouds, allowing the moonlight to shine down on them. They must've felt something, so they looked up. Up at the night sky that was now filled with the moonlight. I decided to take my leave, knowing that they would have to get over it eventually. A golden veil of light appeared before me. I walked through it and crossed the bridge ahead. No turning back. Goodbye brother, goodbye Alucard...
