I had a dream. Or maybe it was a nightmare—because in that dream, I was happy.259Please respect copyright.PENANAxNIsJvD3uD
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.259Please respect copyright.PENANA5Fr6SD5Coe
Then I woke up.259Please respect copyright.PENANAGFcnb2dkMm
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.259Please respect copyright.PENANAlOUQtfFLtH
Thank God it was just a dream.259Please respect copyright.PENANAhsawOw5ibJ
Thank God they left seven years ago.259Please respect copyright.PENANAo8rfnRFNOh
Thank God they’ll never see this.259Please respect copyright.PENANA6pGLTvILl6
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?259Please respect copyright.PENANA1SknGyiF2u
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.259Please respect copyright.PENANAbi3I0ow1wc
"Come on, dragon! I’m still standing!"259Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ8HGnENjU
I’m glad you guys never had to exist in the same world as this monster.259Please respect copyright.PENANAVpZwkKOUPy
And as the beast roars and the final battle begins, I feel no fear.259Please respect copyright.PENANAfFcCR1UdU9
Only peace.259Please respect copyright.PENANAhyo9WDQabv
I will see them soon, in a place this thing will never reach.259Please respect copyright.PENANAOBLhIgF2A1
For me, this is a happy ending.259Please respect copyright.PENANApNIfcSSHHn
