I had a dream. Or maybe it was a nightmare—because in that dream, I was happy.322Please respect copyright.PENANAa4tb5KdkjO
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAKPoD67ru8J
Then I woke up.322Please respect copyright.PENANA7hf8iC2txE
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAXeaNCtTI7p
Thank God it was just a dream.322Please respect copyright.PENANA6gHgJ2GQQE
Thank God they left seven years ago.322Please respect copyright.PENANAaRzAodxNro
Thank God they’ll never see this.322Please respect copyright.PENANAEcy7DK29kC
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?322Please respect copyright.PENANAkE1gi6zimx
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANA4f9DhA4zMq
"Come on, dragon! I’m still standing!"322Please respect copyright.PENANAX5iXJKt9Ai
I’m glad you guys never had to exist in the same world as this monster.322Please respect copyright.PENANAkiYpivsvVV
And as the beast roars and the final battle begins, I feel no fear.322Please respect copyright.PENANAMp8Alb5TY3
Only peace.322Please respect copyright.PENANABmY7FPYjvI
I will see them soon, in a place this thing will never reach.322Please respect copyright.PENANA1hghfRqemN
For me, this is a happy ending.322Please respect copyright.PENANAfbFpzf7X67
