I had a dream. Or maybe it was a nightmare—because in that dream, I was happy.220Please respect copyright.PENANArbge7gC6dj
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANApn2CKkQ67a
Then I woke up.220Please respect copyright.PENANAvO9IV631mJ
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAoy4iBMvGq6
Thank God it was just a dream.220Please respect copyright.PENANAE61CieNzLN
Thank God they left seven years ago.220Please respect copyright.PENANAwH01wJQ9On
Thank God they’ll never see this.220Please respect copyright.PENANAt3Fb2ndght
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?220Please respect copyright.PENANAZsDfpRofc3
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAYvZnA4GK1D
"Come on, dragon! I’m still standing!"220Please respect copyright.PENANAIQqCRrhoiN
I’m glad you guys never had to exist in the same world as this monster.220Please respect copyright.PENANA2Jipu1aMZI
And as the beast roars and the final battle begins, I feel no fear.220Please respect copyright.PENANAmx3a1Jp3jr
Only peace.220Please respect copyright.PENANAYRNA2pggEq
I will see them soon, in a place this thing will never reach.220Please respect copyright.PENANAd7cT6jXGeQ
For me, this is a happy ending.220Please respect copyright.PENANAFKHCuMUTEx
