See How She Fights (22 page)

EPILOGUE

The battle raged around me. I
stood in the midst of turmoil as Angels and Demons battled one another in a
never-ending war. I looked down upon the earth as it spun beneath me. There,
below were the people I loved so dearly, fighting for their lives. They tried
and failed to conquer the beast ripping through their defenses. Time and again
they would gain the upper hand only to be tossed back once more.

I moved through the clouds down
to the earth. I walked towards the beast and reached out my hand. I saw my
reflection in its eyes. My eyes were a great swirling storm and my skin
illuminated blue.

“NO!” I heard Kennan shout.

“Be well,” I whispered before
wrapping my arms around the beast and pushing my life force into him.
Destroying us both.

**********

I awoke and looked over at Kennan.
I knew it was coming. It was drawing ever nearer. My fate was sealed and there
would be no stopping it.
