I had a dream. Or maybe it was a nightmare—because in that dream, I was happy.291Please respect copyright.PENANAPKT2MxiVhu
We were at an amusement park, watching our daughter laugh on the carousel. Every time she passed, we waved, our own laughter mixing with hers. We ate popcorn, cotton candy, ice cream… It was a perfect day.291Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ05Ly5ajx
Then I woke up.291Please respect copyright.PENANA8nwargXk78
Still on this battlefield, littered with the corpses of the world’s strongest heroes. Smoke and ash choked the sky, blocking out the sun. The world was ending.
For seven years, we’ve fought the monsters that poured through the dimensional rift. But nothing—not the titans, not the demons, not the gods—compares to the thing hovering above me now.291Please respect copyright.PENANAdRAXBWNOmn
Thank God it was just a dream.291Please respect copyright.PENANAVGB1b0yxOi
Thank God they left seven years ago.291Please respect copyright.PENANA8tSq6TEWlD
Thank God they’ll never see this.291Please respect copyright.PENANAaAmrTFMbS7
I’m glad… glad that, at this moment, I have nothing left to lose. How much more tragic would it be to stand here, powerless, trying to protect something—someone?291Please respect copyright.PENANAIykZnhWWPm
Blood drips from what’s left of my arm. My bones grind against each other with every movement. Still, I will lift my sword one last time.291Please respect copyright.PENANAKcG9P5DT47
"Come on, dragon! I’m still standing!"291Please respect copyright.PENANA2Nu3pw3CxQ
I’m glad you guys never had to exist in the same world as this monster.291Please respect copyright.PENANAGqVg8ZrsAP
And as the beast roars and the final battle begins, I feel no fear.291Please respect copyright.PENANAcjEbmbTDPq
Only peace.291Please respect copyright.PENANAmoEsNkIuSJ
I will see them soon, in a place this thing will never reach.291Please respect copyright.PENANAD8pj2FidzF
For me, this is a happy ending.291Please respect copyright.PENANA0Bf7aictfh
