I hope you enjoy this final chapter just as much! So, without further ado, grab your popcorn and enjoy the ride. Thank you all again for all the love and support on this story! <333333

“I thought I told you to stay away from Morax! Don’t you know how to listen?!” Guizhong yelled as she stepped in front of Morax.

“Did you really think that I would ever listen to a psycho such as yourself?” You said sternly

“You should have. You really should have, Y/n.” She said, her hands balling up

“No. No one, especially you, gets to tell me what to do. I make my own decisions, no one else.” You said back

“My, my. You have gotten quite confident haven’t you? What changed?” She teased.

She walked up closer to you, her heels clacking with the ground. She put her finger to her chin

“Hmm. Was it maybe because the other archons around you don’t think very highly of you? Is that it?” She said, making your hands slowly ball up. You looked around you, seeing the other archons look away from you to avoid eye contact.

“Or maybe it’s because you aren’t strong enough to take power over even the smallest group of people.”

“Enough, Guizhong.” Morax said.

Sure, he felt hurt that you had moved on, but that doesn’t give Guizhong any right to treat you like this.

“No. I wanna find out what made her this way. What conflict could she have possibly had that made her turn out this way?”

Just as she reached you, she stopped and smirked, turning around to look at Morax.

She then looked back at you and bent towards your ear, whispering ever so softly,

“Or…was it possibly because the one and only man you ever loved…turned out to be the one and only man who broke your heart because he chose me instead of you?” She asked.

She leaned back a bit and stared at you with a menacing look.

Your anger started to rise, vines slowly forming around the windows. Guizhong looked out of the corner of her eye, seeing what was going on.

“Ah, ah, ah. Wouldn’t want to start a scene now would we? I mean, afterall, these people are on my side. Even Morax. It would be foolish of you to start something you cannot finish.” She said, making you look at her with hurt eyes.

Kai looked at you and held your hand, trying to help calm you down.

“Ignore her. We can’t do it here. Not now.” He whispered in your ear.

Morax saw this and couldn’t help but get more jealous each minute you two were together.

Your hand slowly unballed itself, the vines slowly going back down to their natural state.

“That’s a good girl.” She mocked, straightening herself up.

“Now, why don’t you turn around and go. You’ve already embarrassed yourself enough, haven’t you?” She asked, turning on her heel. You looked up at Morax with tears in your eyes. You couldn’t believe you were still emotional over him, especially after all this time! All of the work you put yourself through went completely down the drain. You hated yourself for it.

“Oh!” Guizhong said as she suddenly remembered something. An evil smirk making its way to her face.

“And give these to Asuka. Tell him we are all sorry for what happened to Airi.” She said, tossing something at you.

You and Kai both stopped in your tracks, all the composure in your body completely gone. You slowly turned around, looking at the gift below you to see a little ceramic item.

“That’s it.” You said, your voice calm, but clearly furious.

Kai tried to hold you back once more, afraid of what would happen to you.

“No, Y/n. Please, stop.” He said, wrapping his arms around your body to hold you back.

Morax tried to stand up, his jealousy getting the best of him, but Guizhong held him down.

“They are not worth it.” Guizhong said, making Morax look up at her like she was insane.

“He is grabbing onto her!” He replied with a frustrated tone.

“Who cares?” She asked. He was getting more skeptical about her every second that passed.

Meanwhile, Kai was working hard to hold you back. But you couldn’t stand it anymore. You were going to get your revenge, not only for you, but for Airi as well. Guizhong took her parents away from her…and now she took her life, too. All because Guizhong wanted to keep you out of the way?

You grunted, trying to get Kai off of you.

“Stop, Y/n. Stop!” He yelled

“NO!” You yelled back. Out of instinct, you stomped your foot on the ground, which was a mistake.

The contact between your foot and the ground created a large burst underground. It forced Kai away from you into a couple other archons.

The impact was so great that it caused the entire room to shake, allowing some items to fall. There were mumbles and whispers from other archons as they saw what you were able to do.

You looked down and saw the huge cracks you left in the ground, seeing a trail of tree roots peeking out of them.

You looked back up and saw Morax staring at you in awe, never seeing you use your powers to harm anyone, accident or not. Meanwhile, Guizhong just stared at you with frustration.

You slowly walked up to the object, seeing it was a little bunny.

You stared at it, your breath getting heavier with each moment you looked at it. Memories of you, Airi, and Asuka playing in an open field with little creatures started to form. Seeing how happy the two were when they saw a little baby bunny you had brought over. Seeing how in love Airi was when she saw the cute thing. Remembering her asking if she could keep it for the rest of the day. Remembering her laughter and bright smile as she got to cuddle with it. All of those memories and more came running back to you, making your blood boil.

You grabbed the ceramic item and threw in on the ground, smashing it to bits and pieces, making people around you gasp.

“Don’t act like you care, you heartless bitch!” You yelled, tears making their way to your eyes once more.

Guizhong glared at you, walking towards you carefully.

“I am not heartless! I was just trying to make things better for him-”

“No, you were trying to make yourself feel better!” You yelled, making Morax stare at you, his heart breaking again as he saw how distressed you were.

“”I have no idea what you’re talking about.” She said, scoffing at you

“You know exactly what you did.” You said

“What is she talking about?” Morax interjected

Guizhong quickly turned to him and smiled psychotically.

“Nothing, my dear. She is obviously insane, and should be put in a mental institute right away!” She yelled

“You killed her!” You yelled, making everyone go silent.

“You killed her, and made it seem like it was nothing! And all of you so-called archons didn’t even help!” You yelled, looking at the others in the room with tears falling down your eyes.

“She was only 9 years old!” You said

Suddenly, the archons started to look away in guilt and shame.

“She was only 9 when Guizhong took her parents away. She was only 9 years old when her own life was taken away! Do none of you see anything wrong with that?! How could you all just….just stand there and act like everything was okay? Especially when she sent you all calls for help?!” You said

“And not only her, but hundreds…thousands of other helpless citizens called for your help! And now they are all gone because you didn’t do anything to help them! How can you look at yourself and think you are anywhere near what an archon is?! You ignored them and let them die…and you know what?” You asked, making all of them slowly look up at you.

“You all are so stupid that you didn’t even know that the monsters that were killing them all were all coming from her.” You said, pointing towards Guizhong.

“Come on, Y/n. There is no way Guizhong would do that-” Morax started to say

“Oh and here we are again. The one and only Morax, the Geo Archon, The man of Contracts. Helping defend Guizhong once again. Well you know what, Morax? Go ahead! Do it. Honestly, I’d be surprised if you didn’t!” You yelled at him

“Y/n, I-”

“Save it! I knew it was a mistake ever trusting you. I knew it was a mistake falling oh so deeply in love with you.” You mocked.

Morax felt his chest tighten, feeling like there were nails going down his throat as you talked to him like that.

“I’m glad you chose her. Because thanks to you, I dodged what would have been the biggest mistake in my life. Being with you.” You said, your anger getting the best of you.

“Y/n…you don’t mean that. Please, you know I love you. I always have…I just-”

“Enough. I don’t care for what you have to say. You broke me. Absolutely shattered me.” You said, your voice faltering.

Tears began to build up inside Morax’s eyes, his guilt all coming back to him at once.

“And besides, I’m not here for you.” You started, turning your vision towards Guizhong.

“I'm here for her. To finish what she started.” You said.

Suddenly, there was a split second of absolute silence. No one moved, no one breathed. They all sat there, fearful of what was about to happen.

Then, out of nowhere, a large tree root burst out of the ground and slammed right into Guizhong.

People screamed and began to run out of the large building.

However, some of the archons stayed put and ran after you to stop you.

A man placed his hands on your arms, holding you back. You grunted as you tried to escape free from his hold.

You looked ahead of you and saw three other men and women coming after you. You knew you had to act quick. Otherwise, this will all be for nothing.

You threw your head back, hitting his nose as hard as you could. The man cried out in pain, accidentally letting you go. You turned to him and kicked him right in the groin, making his breath leave his body. You saw that he had a sword in his sheath, so you grabbed it quickly. He tried to grab it back, but you brought your elbow up to his face and knocked him out.

You turned around, seeing the three people right behind you. You forced your sword out as a warning.

They didn’t hold back, and instead, they ran after you with their weapons.

You quickly placed your arm on the outer left sword, pushing it into the other two swords on the right. You then wrapped your arm around the arms of the swords, blocking the archons from moving.

You then flipped over the swords and used your leg to kick each of them away, pulling their swords out of their hands and throwing them someplace else.

They all got back up on their feet with ease and ran after you. However, you dropped the sword and raised your hands, a dark green glow emitting from each hand.

All three of them stopped, hesitant of what you were going to do to them.

“You all saw what I could do with a sword. Do you really want to see what I can do with my own magic?!” You warned, making them all back up a bit.

However, while you were focusing on them, you didn’t realize the large rock hurling towards you.

You were knocked back into a wall, causing you to lose focus for a second.

“Get out of here, now!” A familiar voice said. You saw a blurry scene of feet running past you, getting to a safe area.

You tried to get up, but the rock that hit you made that hard

“Y/n. Please, stop. This isn’t you.” The voice said, making you look up at the person to see none other than Morax

“Y-You…used your ability on me?” You asked in disbelief.

“I have to if it will stop you. Please, Y/n. I know you are mad about everything, but please don’t blame Guizhong. She was just trying to help-” “NO! SHE WASN”T!” You lashed out at him, a large vine growing and pushing him back.

You pushed him up against a wall, the vine slowly wrapping around his neck.

“Y/n…stop…”He gasped out as he slowly raised up in the air.

“No. All you have done is betray me over and over again. You don’t know what it was like.” You said, tears slipping out of your eyes again.

“You don’t know what it was like to watch someone you care for die in your arms. To see that little sparkle slowly disappear out of their once lively eyes. You weren’t there when those ruthless animals that Guizhong created killed her. Killed her family. Killed hundreds of other people.”

He stared at you, watching you pour your feelings out.

“You don’t know what it’s like to get your heart broken over and over again. And the person who caused all of it, is someone you’re defending.” You said, tightening the vine.

“Why are you doing this, Morax? Do you really hate me that much?” You asked, your power faltering, allowing him to breathe again.

He fell to the ground, grabbing his throat as he gasped in precious air.

He then looked up to you, seeing you fall to your knees

He quickly ran to you and held your hands, holding you close to his chest.

“Don’t ever say that again. I could never hate you, Y/n. I love you. I really do. And I’m sorry about…about everything. I’m sorry I hurt you. I’m sorry all I ever did was cause you pain and heartbreak. That was never my intention.” He started, making you look up at him

“Y/n, I am not lying when I say I have loved you for so long. After you left, that love grew and grew. It killed me everyday that you weren’t here with me. I couldn’t do anything. I didn’t do anything. I was and am so lost without you, and I realized that was my fault. I know I’m the one that pushed you away and I am truly, deeply sorry. I know what I did will never be forgivable, but please know that I really do love you, Y/n. And only you. No one else.”

“Then why did you choose-”

“I was angry. And I shouldn’t have been. I was being selfish and was mad at you for making me choose…when in reality, you were right. I treated you like garbage when Guizhong showed up.”

“Why? Why did you?”

��Y/n…I loved you so much…and I still do love you so much. But before I knew you shared the same feelings for me, I tried to get rid of those romantic feelings. I was so afraid that my love for you would destroy our already amazing relationship. I didn’t want you to leave me. So…I tried to push those feelings onto Guizhong. I tried to fall in love with her like I did with you.”

“Did you?”

He smiled a bit, placing his hand on your face.

“No. Not in the slightest. That love I felt for you could and only would be for you. And it still is that way, Y/n. But you have got to stop this. For us. Please.” He begged, a tear falling out of his eye.

Your heart was confused at this point. It was racing fast at his confession to you…but at the same time, he still didn’t believe you. He believed you were imagining it.

You pulled his hands away from your face, pushing him away. You got up to your feet

“Y/n-” He started, standing up as well.

“If you love me. If you truly love me, then show it.”

“What do you mean?” He asked

“Show me you love me by trusting me. Trust that I know what I am doing.” You said, making him look down at you.

He truly did love you, but he wasn’t sure about this. You were going to hurt Guizhong with an accusation that you haven’t proved yet.

But he looked in your eyes and saw that same glint he once saw starting to show up again. He knew what he had to do. He couldn’t lose you again.

He sighed and nodded.

“Okay. I trust you.” He said. You stared at him with a bit of surprise, not expecting him to say that.

“Just…please be careful. I don’t want to lose you again.” He said, caressing your cheek. You couldn’t say anything, not used to his gesture. Instead, you just nodded

Unfortunately, before Morax could do anything else, a large gust of dust spewed at him, forcing him back against a wall with the other archons.

“Morax!” You yelled in fear as you saw how hard his head hit the wall.

Kai quickly ran to him to aid his injuries.

You snapped your head around to see Guizhong walking down to you, anger evident in her face.

“I told you to leave him alone!” Guizhong said, forming a small dust tornado in her hand. She then threw it towards you, watching it grow bigger and bigger as more dust was added.

Your eyes widened as it was coming straight for you.

“Y/n, move!” Kai yelled

You jumped out of the way, just barely dodging it. Instead, it hit four large caryatids, completely destroying them.

Guizhong growled in frustration, whipping her hand to the left. Within an instant, a large gust of dust formed, throwing you to a wall.

“Y/n!” Morax yelled, trying to get up to help you. Kai, however, pushed him back down.

“What the hell are you doing?! Let me go!” He yelled towards the man.

“No, you are far too hurt. If you do anything more, you could seriously injure yourself!” Kai yelled back

“I don’t care! I would do anything for Y/n! Wouldn’t you? You’re hers now, aren’t you? Treat her like it and help me help her!” Morax said

Kai looked at Morax with confusion for a split second before realizing what he said.

“Gross! Y/n and I aren’t together! And I don’t love her like that! I love her as my sister!” Kai said

Morax suddenly shut up, looking at Kai with a look of confusion, but mostly relief.

“So…you don’t…love her the way I love her?” Morax asked, making Kai face palm.

“Dude, how dull are you? How are you deemed one of the smartest and strongest archons, yet you don’t even understand the basic emotions such as love?” He asked, making Morax look down.

“Look, I only see her as a sister and she only sees me as a brother. That’s it.” Kai stated, tending to Moraxs’ wound

“And here I was thinking she had moved on already.” Morax said, feeling like a complete idiot. Kai chuckled, grabbing Morax’s attention.

“What is so funny?”

“Y/n is far from moving on.”

“What do you mean?” He asked

“Where do I even start? Dude, she wouldn’t stop talking about you whenever you were brought up. One time, my little brother brought her a rock in the shape of a star and that made her start talking about how you would always give her beautifully shaped and handmade rocks.”

Morax stayed silent. He never felt so stupid.

“She even talked about your favorite drink and food when we cooked together. Gosh, honestly it was getting annoying every now and then.”

“Why?” “Because I could see how much she loves you. How much she misses you. Yet at the same time, I couldn’t understand why because you broke her heart.”

Morax turned his vision towards you, seeing you on the ground.

“I made a mistake. One that changed my entire life…Now I need to fix it.” Morax said, pushing himself up.

“What?! No, Morax! You’ll hurt yourself and Y/n would never forgive me!” Kai yelled, holding Morax back.

He quickly turned around, his hair starting to float from frustration.

“I would die if it meant saving Y/n. Now let me go!” Morax yelled at Kai, his voice deepening as his eyes emitted a bright yellow glow.

Kai quickly let go of Morax, not wanting to anger the archon any further.

–

Guizhong walked towards you slowly, forming more dust to hold you down on the ground.

“I told you. You should’ve listened” She yelled, a plethora of her monstrous creatures forming around her. Everyone stared at her in shock, including Morax

“She was right! Y/n was right!” A lady yelled

“We have to help her! There’s no way she can stop all of those creatures by herself!” A man yelled.

Soon, people tried to come and help you after discovering the truth, but Guizhong pushed them all back with a strong dust storm.

“Enough! Leave her and me be.” Guizhong said, focusing her attention back to you. She walked up to you and pulled your hair back.

“You should have stayed dead when I stabbed you. But now, I’m going to make sure you die. Once and for all!”

That’s when Morax’s mind went blank as he stared at Guizhong.

“You…what?” He asked, his mind slowly going dark.

Guizhong turned to Morax, rolling her eyes.

“Oh come on, Morax. Don’t tell me you still have feelings for the girl. You and I belong together! We are the ultimate couple that everyone will talk about. She doesn’t deserve you. I do!” She said

Suddenly, things clicked for him

“All those things you showed me the day she supposedly died…you did that! You hurt her and then tried to blame someone else for it!” He yelled, his head pounding. She frowned

“Yes. I am sorry I lied to you, but I needed to! All you talked about was Y/n. I couldn’t even get you alone anymore because you were too busy worrying about Y/n. Y/n this, Y/n, that. Gosh, she is such a pill! I can’t possibly understand what you ever saw in her!” Guizhong said

That’s when Morax saw red. He couldn’t believe she lied and manipulated him when he was at his lowest! But most importantly, Guizhong hurt you. She almost killed you. And no one gets to hurt you unless they want to face his wrath.

Suddenly, he raised his hand, causing the ground to shake. The debris from the building quickly formed together to create a large boulder.

Morax shouldn’t have been doing this. He was already severely injured due to his head, so this was just making things worse for him. But he wouldn’t let Guizhong get away with this. He wouldn’t let her or anyone else hurt you ever again.

Everyone stared at the boulder as it slowly rotated in place. It was almost the size of a building.

“Take this, you lying bitch” He said uncharacteristically.

He then threw it towards her, hitting her far away from you.

Your eyes widened as you looked behind you, seeing Morax.

He looked at you, blood trickling down his head. A small smile plastered on his face as his eyes slowly started to close

“I’m…sorry…I ever….doubted you…” He said, slowly passing out.

“Morax?!” You asked with worry

“Don’t worry about him. He’s just dealt with too much. I’ll be able to help him. Now it's time for you to do what you came here for. Finish what she started, Y/n. For Airi! For all of us!” Kai said, dealing with Morax’s wound.

You looked away from them, and looked towards Guizhong. She was lying on the ground, but the creatures she created were still forming around her, growling at you as they got closer and closer.

“Run, Y/n!” A few archons said

“Don’t do it! You won’t make it!” Another few said

But you ignored them. You came here to finish things off. You couldn’t back down, not now.

Your hands slowly opened and rose up as you watched the creatures slowly walk towards you.

A large window was right behind you, which was perfect.

Rapidly, large vines began to grow all around the window, pushing against it to get in.

Everyone stared at you in awe

“Stay.” You started, more vines growing thicker and larger. The window behind you started to crack.

“Away!” You yelled, pushing your hands forward.

The vines broke past the window, shattering it into pieces. The vines quickly grew towards the creatures and wrapped them up, holding them tightly in place, lifting them up in the air.

Some managed to escape, but a new vine was created out of another vine, which grabbed the creature again.

The creatures began to whimper as they realized they couldn’t move, nor could they escape.

“I’m sorry it has to be this way.” You apologized.

The vines began to tighten around them and squeezed as hard as they could until they turned back into dust. One by one, each of the small creatures died, leaving nothing but dust on the ground.

You ran up to Guizhong and grabbed your sword, ready to end things once and for all. However, she quickly dodged your attack and pushed you away with yet another large gust of dust.

She didn’t stop it, so you had to form a large barrier around you. You stomped on the ground, causing large tree roots to form around you, letting you breathe a little

“Stop hiding, you bitch!” She yelled.

She gathered her hands together, collecting all the dust from the previous creatures she made.

“Fine, if all you’re going to do is hide…then I’ll make you come out forcefully.” She said

Suddenly, the dust gathered together, creating a large object. She swayed her hands around quickly, forming a gigantic wolf. The roots slowly moved away, allowing you to see what she was doing.

Your eyes widened as you saw the 30 foot creature salivating and snarling at you.

You stared at her with determination, though. Not letting her scare you one bit.

“Two can play at that game” You murmured.

You then placed your hands on the ground, pulling any vegetation together. The ground began to shake once more, only this time, it was more brutal. Statues were falling, chandeliers were falling, anything that was fragile was now on the ground and beaten down. Even parts of the walls fell down, creating various openings.

Right after, large tree roots and branches grew in. Large vines and stems attached to them as well. First, they grew together to create what looked to be a paw, then another, then a large body, and finally, a head.

Within seconds, you managed to create a large 50 ft animal out of nothing but trees and vines.

You went over to it and touched it, causing its eyes to glow a bright white color.

Guizhong backed up a bit, shocked at what you were able to do.

The archons behind you watched you in awe, amazed with the power you held.

“You like it?” You asked with a teasing tone. Guizhong just glared at you.

“What’s the matter? Scared now, are we?” You asked.

You then sent your creature off to fight Guizhongs’ creature.

They both pushed against each other. The wolf bit into your animal’s chest, pulling some of the roots out. However, the area that was torn quickly healed back up as the tree branches grew back together.

Your animal then quickly grabbed the wolf's body with its mouth, easily lifting it up. The wolf whimpered from the pain as it was tossed aside. The animal then ran after it, knocking it outside, creating a gigantic hole in the other wall.

“Everyone outside now!” Kai yelled, getting help to get Morax out.

While this was all going on, you and Guizhong were going at it.

She tried to punch you, but you easily dodged it. You grabbed her wrist and twisted it, pulling it down. As she went down, you took the opportunity to knee her in the face, breaking her nose.

She growled and lunged at you, forcing you on your back. She took her sword and tried to pierce you with it, but thankfully, you were able to push against her sword with yours.

You both grunted, trying to beat each other's strength.

However, Guizhong was filled with so much rage that her strength began to increase more than yours.

Seeing that her sword was getting closer and closer to your chest, you had to do something else to stop her.

You quickly kicked her in the stomach as hard as you could, making her grip weaken. You took the opportunity to then push her back and get back up on your feet.

She looked up at you as you brought your foot up to her face and kicked her, forcing her head to turn away from you.

She quickly moved away from you to help get herself up.

You both looked at each other for a split second before running after one another again.

You both clashed your swords together, trying to hit an open area, but you two were always missing due to the other dodging.

You looked down and saw an opening. A perfect opportunity for you to strike to make her fall.

You swung your foot around and kicked her knee backwards, causing it to hyperextend and soon break.

She screamed in agony, feeling the pain surge up her entire body. As she slowly fell to the ground, she tried to hit you with another dust storm, but you stopped her from doing so by throwing your sword at her hand, slicing it.

With that, she finally fell to the ground, allowing you to complete your job.

You ran over to her and stepped on her chest to stop her from getting back up.

You placed your sword over your head, ready to pierce right through her

However, you stopped as you looked into her eyes. You saw how fearful they were. You saw the tears forming as she realized this was her end.

It reminded you of Airi. She looked almost the same as she died in your arms.

That’s when your arms began to slowly descend, your senses quickly coming back and getting the better of you.

You couldn’t…You just couldn’t kill her.

“Y/n! What are you doing?” Kai asked, worried what was going on.

You ignored him and kneeled down next to the girl.

“I…I can’t kill you.” You said in defeat, hating that you couldn’t.

Guizhong looked at you with confusion, tears still falling out of her eyes.

“I don’t know why…but something is telling me not too.” You said, not understanding what was going on with you.

Guizhong snuck behind you, grabbing her sword.

She raised her sword above her, ready to strike, but just as she was about to hit you, another rock came and hit her hard in the head.

Your eyes looked behind you as you saw Guizhong slowly fall to the ground, letting her sword go as she fell.

You then looked over to see Morax holding his hand up, his body going limp once more.

“NO!” You yelled, your anger coming back again.

You saw out of the corner of your eye Guizhong getting up, her hand hovering around for her sword.

You quickly got up and ran after her. You saw her hand just barely reach the end of her sword, but before she could get a full grasp on it, you kicked the sword up, allowing it to land in your hand.

She gasped as she saw you, quickly trying to run away.

“I gave you a chance! And you ruined it!” You yelled, finally throwing the sword towards her at a rapid speed.

Guizhong didn’t get past 10 feet before the sword sliced right through her chest. Guizhong’s eyes opened wide in shock as she felt the sharp pain go through her entire body.

She shook, her breath shaky as well as she slowly looked down to see blood pouring out of her chest. She slowly felt her body go numb and cold, causing her to fall to the ground.

She couldn’t believe she had lost. She couldn’t believe you had actually beaten her. And because you beat her, her life was slowly fading away. Soon after, her eyes began to close as her body began to feel tired.

You, on the other hand, watched her fall, seeing the blood pool out of her chest. You were furious at what she did, well almost did. You looked over to see your creature fighting Guizhongs wolf. It was about to attack your animal, but it quickly stopped in its tracks, confusing the tree animal. The wolf whimpered and howled as it went rabid, feeling its life quickly come to an end. And within seconds, it quickly fell to the ground, turning completely into dust.

You watched triumphantly as you saw that it was all over now. There will no longer be any more issues from her again.

However, before you could pat yourself on the back, you were quickly knocked back into reality when you heard Morax groan in pain.

You quickly ran over to him, holding him in your arms.

“Morax! What were you thinking?” You yelled at him, seeing his eyes slowly close

“I…was thinking…about you…” He said

“What?”

“I couldn’t…let her…hurt you again.”

“Morax, you idiot! I would have been fine.” You said, holding him close

He breathed in your scent, realizing how much he missed it. He took your hand and kissed it softly,

“I…missed you…” He said

“I missed you, too.” You said, hopeful that he was coming back to his senses.

“I…I'm so sorry…for all the pain….that I caused…” He said, tears running down his eyes.

“Morax, stop. I already forgave you. You have already shown me your love.” You tried to say, but Morax shook his head

“No. I should have shown you my love the day you asked me to pick between you and Guizhong. Because of me, all of this happened. And I’m sincerely sorry.”

“Morax, please stop. I know what you did was a mistake. I understand! And I still forgive you! But now, I just want you to focus on healing. That way we can spend the rest of our lives together. Once and for all. But you have to try and stay up.” You said, your voice breaking.

He didn’t respond, however. His eyes just kept getting closer and closer to closing, making you fear the worst.

“I…love...you” He said, his entire body going cold.

“I love you, too, you idiot! I always have! Please, stay up! Please!” You said.

When he wasn’t responding anymore, you freaked out.

“Morax?! Come on, wake up. Please wake up.” You begged as you saw more blood trickle down his head.

When he wasn’t waking up, your eyes started to water as you looked up at Kai

‘What’s wrong with him?! Why isn’t he waking up??” You asked desperately.

Kai looked over Morax, checking signs for wounds.

“He is losing too much blood. But I don’t have my tools to help fix it! If I can’t get anything to help him, It’ll be too late.” He said, making your heart sink.

You couldn’t lose him. Not when you just got him back. Not after everything you and him went through.

You stood up, slowly backing away as your body began to shake. Your heart was slowly breaking once more as you saw Morax’s life slowly fade away.

Kai tried to help Morax, but nothing he was doing was helping.

“Does anybody have any medical tools?!” Kai’s voice echoed as he tried to get help.

“Come on! He’s dying! I need help right now!” He yelled again.

You looked at Morax’s lifeless body, getting flashbacks from when Airi died. You fell to your knees as tears started to fall down your face as you tried to think of something, anything that would help Morax.

And then, a realization hit you as you figured there was one more option, one that you had tried to do before but failed.

It was a low chance that it would work, but you were willing to do anything at this point.

You walked back to Kai, gently pushing him out of the way.

“What are you doing?” he asked, but you ignored him. You couldn’t let anything distract you.

You placed your hand gently on Morax’s chest and began to use your ability on him.

The area that you touched began to glow a dark green hue. You inhaled and exhaled slowly, trying your best to focus all your energy into your hand. You then began to push more and more of your power out, feeling yourself get tired again. It was just like last time with Airi.

“Come on.” You whispered, opening your eyes. Kai looked at you and saw that your eyes were all white now. He knew exactly what you were trying to do.

He saw that you were beginning to shake and blood was starting to fall down your nose.

“Y/n, stop. You’re going to kill yourself if you keep going!” He said, but you shushed him

You began to push harder, seeing your vision start to blacken.

You were light headed from all the power you were using on him.

Soon, vines and tree branches began to circle around you two the more you used your power

“Come on, Morax. I can’t lose you. Please, wake up.” You whispered.

Soon, your skin began to crack, allowing a bright yellow glow to emit from them. Your body felt hot the more you continued. More and more blood was trickling down your nose, but you didn’t care.

You did everything to stay awake, even if it meant it was going to hurt you.

The green glow from his chest then started to move up to his head and his back, circling around that area. Your eyes widened as this was something you hadn’t seen yet.

You pushed harder, the cracks in your skin growing bigger and brighter. It was like your body was on fire at this point and the pain was becoming too much for you. You yelled loudly, trying to ease the pain. The more and more you did it, the more it was worse on you. “Wake UP!” You cried before your magic backfired on you. A loud burst was created and you were knocked back.

–

You were so tired, so weak. You felt your body slowly cool down as you started to relax. Nothing but ringing was heard in your ears. Your vision was completely blurry.

You were on the ground, barely functionable. Your half-lidded eyes slowly turned towards the area where Morax was, seeing his body lie there peacefully.

A few minutes passed as you watched him from the ground, hoping something would happen, but nothing.

That’s when you got your hopes up…You knew he was truly gone. You would never see him ever again. Tears fell down your face like a waterfall as reality hit you. You quietly sobbed as you saw that he was gone, feeling all your emotions pour out of you.

That was until you heard him groan a bit.

You paused, completely frozen as you stared at him. Soon, his hand began to move. Then his arm. Then his leg. And finally…his eyes opened softly, making your heart burst out of your chest.

You called out for him

“Morax!”

You tried to run to him, but you kept falling back to your knees, too weak to stand. He looked over and saw this, making his eyes widen. He got up and ran to you, picking you up in his arms as you two sat together. He held you close to him, still confused as to how this happened.

You were breathing heavily in his arms, just glad to be enveloped in them.

Morax looked at you and saw how weak you were, seeing a lot of blood falling down your nose. He looked at you and realized.

“Did…Did you do this? Did you…heal me?” He asked, making you nod and smile.

You tried to move up, but struggled to. He caught on and helped bring you up to him.

You got to look at his face, falling in love all over again. You shakily brought your hand up to his face, caressing his cheek. He closed his eyes, loving the feeling.

“I did it…because…I didn’t want to lose you.” You said in a raspy voice. He looked down at you with love in his eyes. He held you close to him, not letting you go one bit. You felt so good in his arms and he felt so good in yours. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, my love.” He whispered in your ear.

You smiled softly, kissing his cheek. He tensed up a bit just from that.

You looked back at him with a soft look. “I told you, I have already forgiven you.” You said, making his heart race.

He brought your face close to his, making both of your faces heat up.

“Then please let me do this.” He said, closing the gap between you two.

Your eyes widened at the sudden contact. Your lips molded perfectly together as you continued your long awaited kiss.

You wrapped your arms around his neck and closed your eyes, savoring this moment.

The kiss was passionate, yet soft and sweet. Anyone could tell that it was out of pure love for one another.

The kiss lasted for a few minutes before you broke it off to get air. He chuckled at you, and placed his fingers on your chin, raising your head up to look at him.

“I choose you, my love. And I always will. I will prove it to you each and every day if I have to.” he said, making you smile.

“Y/n…will you please be with me for the rest of our lives? So that we can live our happily ever after?” He said, making you chuckle. You pushed a strand of his hair away, bringing him closer to you.

“Of course, Morax. Of course I will.” You said, pulling him in for another kiss.

“I’ve missed you so much.” He said, deepening the kiss.

He let go this time, still holding you right near his face.

“I love you, Y/n. I love you so much. I think I am the luckiest man ever to have someone like you in my life.” He said

“Yeah, you are.” You teased, making him chuckle. You then looked at him in the eyes before talking once more.

“I love you, too. And I always will~’ You said, making his face heat up again.

You two then wrapped each other in your arms again and began to relax.

–

“Let me go!” Guizhong suddenly said. You and Morax turned your heads to see her being held down by the other archons, surprised to see her alive.

“Don’t worry about her. She won’t be getting away any time soon. You two go back to your lovey dovey situation. We will take care of her.” One of the archons said

“You thought you could kill me, didn’t you? HAHAHA! You should see the stupid look you have on your face right now! You look like an idiot! HAHAHA-” Guizhong said maniacally before being knocked out by another one of Morax’s rocks.

“Take her away. We will deal with her later.” Morax said. The other archons nodded and took her to a place that would keep her trapped until her fate was decided. But before they left, one of the archons stopped to say something to you.

“Oh and thank you, Y/n. We know we all have a lot to do to make it up to you. But please know that we are all deeply and truly sorry. We should’ve never treated you poorly. You have opened our eyes…and we all realize that we need to make a lot of changes right away. Not for us, but for everyone else who relies on us.” Another said, making you smile and nod. They then took Guizhong away to who knows where, but you two didn’t care. All you cared about was that you had each other now.

You two looked at each other and smiled.

“Now, where were we?” Morax asked as he brought your lips to his, kissing you deeply. You smiled into the kiss, loving every moment of it.

–

After that, you two began your lives together, living a wonderful life. You had explained everything that happened to Morax, including the people you met: Kai, Airi, and Asuka. When you told him of Airi, he couldn’t help but feel terrible. You reassured him that everything would be fine now, letting him know that she is finally with her parents again. You then helped Asuka and Kai with their small town, helping rebuild it and making it better. They also changed the name of the small town to Liyue in honor of Airi and her parents. Eventually, it would start to grow larger and larger. You and Morax helped other areas as well, defending them against all types of danger, but Liyue was the place for both of you. You both loved that area and so, you both decided to dedicate your lives to protecting it. But no matter what, whatever was going on, you two were always together. And nothing would ever stop that.
