⚔ Chapter 13: The Last Goodbye ⚔

The battlefield was quiet—too quiet. Smoke curled from the charred ground, the stench of blood and burning shadows thick in the air.

Yoongi stood in the center, barely holding himself up. His body trembled, his breath ragged. The once-mighty force of darkness was now just a man—a broken, desperate man clinging to power that was slipping through his fingers.

YN took a step forward. “Yoongi… it’s over.”

He laughed, a hollow, exhausted sound. “Over?” He lifted his bloodstained hand, watching the remnants of his power flicker weakly in his palm. “You think you’ve won?”

Jungkook stepped in front of YN, his eyes cold. “You’re finished. There’s nothing left of you.”

Yoongi lifted his gaze to him, then to Taehyung, then finally to Jin, who held his golden sword steady. The light from the blade reflected in Yoongi’s dark eyes—eyes that once held the fire of defiance but now only carried the weight of defeat.

He let out a slow breath. “So this is how it ends.”

🔥 A Moment of Truth 🔥

YN swallowed hard. She had hated him, feared him, fought him—but now, looking at him, all she saw was a man who had lost everything. A man who had been consumed by something far greater than himself.

Jin’s voice was quiet but firm. “You made your choice.”

Yoongi chuckled, shaking his head. “Did I?” His gaze flickered to YN. “Or was it already written the moment I was born?”

Taehyung’s grip tightened around his weapon. “Don’t try to make yourself a victim.”

Yoongi sighed. “You’ll never understand, will you?” He looked down at his hands again, his fingers twitching as the last of his power faded. “The darkness—it was never just power. It was all I had.”

His voice wavered for the first time. “Without it… what am I?”

🌙 The Final Choice 🌙

Silence stretched between them.

Then YN stepped forward.

Jungkook grabbed her wrist. “What are you doing?”

But she pulled away, stopping just a few feet from Yoongi. He looked at her with something unreadable—resentment? Sadness? Regret?

“You were more than the darkness,” she said softly.

Yoongi’s breath hitched. For a moment, just a moment, something in his eyes flickered—a memory of who he used to be.

But then he smiled. It was bitter, broken. “Maybe in another life.”

He lifted his hand one last time, summoning the last shred of his power. The shadows trembled around him, but they no longer obeyed. They rejected him.

Jin took a deep breath and raised his sword. “Goodbye, Yoongi.”

Yoongi exhaled, his shoulders sagging.

He didn’t fight it.

The golden blade pierced through his chest.

🔥 The End of the Dark Wolf 🔥

Yoongi’s body tensed, then relaxed. His lips parted, but no words came out. The last of his shadows flickered and faded, leaving behind only a man—a man who had lost himself long ago.

His knees buckled.

YN caught him before he hit the ground.

His fingers twitched against her arm, his eyes searching hers. “I thought… I’d never feel warm again.”

A single tear slipped down his cheek.

Then—his body dissolved into light.

The darkness was gone.

Forever.

🔥 The Aftermath 🔥

Jungkook let out a shaky breath. Taehyung closed his eyes. Jin lowered his sword.

YN knelt there for a moment, staring at the empty space where Yoongi had been.

Jin’s voice was quiet. “It’s done.”

She wiped at her face, nodding. “Let’s go home.”

The war was over.

And the night, for the first time in a long time, was filled with stars.

🌙 THE END. 🌙
