Chapter 26: Killing the Moon
Sheila's POV
I was hunting outside, practicing.
Andrew, Rain and Meeps still hadn't returned, but I wasn't too worried.
Wait! What was that?
I turned around to see Tsuki running off.
Oh, you're not going anywhere. I thought, grimly.
I ran towards her, my katanas drawn out.
Tsuki turned around and countered my blade.
The two of us fought, as the sun was starting to set.
Tsuki pulled out a red End Crystal.
It began to glow and somehow, I knew I didn't want to see what happened.
I quickly tackled her, and Tsuki's sword clattered down.
I picked it up and yeeted the sword off the cliff.
Tsukinjumped backwards, as I began to approach her with my blades.
Surprisingly, Tsuki was quite nimble.
Suddenly, the forest burst into flames.
Something was floating, it looked like a piece of paper.
As it settled down, Tsuki ran towards me.
Without giving a second thought, I threw one of my katanas.
I saw the blood splatter all over the place, and I saw the red End Crystal vanish.
I took out my other katana and approached Tsuki, ready to end her, when something made me stop.
I looked down to see that the paper had landed on my feet.
I crouched down and picked it up. It was a picture... no a photo. Two young enchantresses were chatting with each other. They looked so different, but somehow I knew them.
Tsuki... and... Stella...
I had only known her to be a tamed Netherkin, not a former enchantress!
Suddenly, my heart was crushed with even more guilt.
I looked up, the photo still in my hand, and saw that Tsuki was dragging herself against a tree, her chest bleeding, the blade stuck in her.
She looked up to see me staring at her. I couldn't move my mouth to form any words, so I hoped that the guilt on my face was enough to tell her how much I was sorry.
Tsuki's face was full of relief. Relief from being free from whoever was controlling her.
Our eyes met, and for a brief moment, there was flicker of understanding.
Then Tsuki's eyes closed as her head rolled to the side.
