CHAPTER 68: THE END

Within her vague lapses of consciousness, you can see how SHURUI approaches her pitifully, asking if she's okay.

RYU lies next to TYPHOON who is asleep.

Despite the girl's injuries.

His life is in no danger.

RYU is approaching PANDORA and SHURUI.

Ask if anyone's seen ESTHER.

SHURUI tells her that she and SEKHMET killed FENRIR and tried to kill EMELINA.

The fury within RYU is appearing towards SHURUI.

Asks what did you do with ESTHER?

Where's ESTHER?

SHURUI, lying on the ground.

He tries to sit down, seeing RYU who doesn't answer him quickly, starts hitting him and kicking him.

EMELINA, which is nearby, attends to PANDORA's desperate cries that asks her to stop.

He asks you to see SHURUI.

Only one person could cause that damage.

RYU looks at SHURUI's rotten body, also warns that EMELINA has approached and threatens to open fire on him.

RYU's out of control.

He feels a lot of accumulated anger and resentment against SHURUI, he claims, for stealing from PANDORA according to his vision.

PANDORA yells at him that it wasn't.

It was RYU, who forgot about her... still, she still wants it.

RYU is surprised.

Until recently, in the castle.

She told him that she loved him and...

Now you just want it?

RYU erupts against SHURUI and PANDORA, in tears.

It uses its power that is now unstable by overuse, the theft of energy is so drastic that, in a few seconds it leaves it on the brink of death.

Passing this vital energy to SHURUI, despite SHURUI's protest that PANDORA would stop.

PANDORA breaks into tears.

Apologize to RYU.

Apologize to DRAKE who has passed away, she fulfilled her only duty... save TYPHOON.

PANDORA can barely get up, EMELINA helps you get to RYU.

She goes to him, kneels.

Caressing his face that is covering with tears and kisses.

He says goodbye to the love she has for him.

They always knew.

They always denied it.

Their worlds, so opposite and so united at once through time.

He regrets not keeping his promise.

RYU, shed tears... is deeply sorry.

He knows... was never the dragon of PANDORA.

Her hair covers part of RYU's face, who looks at her, though lies lifeless.

PANDORA is left in that castle, with the body of his beloved RYU in the midst of a massacre.

SHURUI's heart hurts, more than the pain in your body.

SHURUI interrupts PANDORA, reminds him to look for a survivor.

PANDORA weeps, stops his lament and looks around.

Currency to TYPHOON.

Lies so hurt and small.

He knows it's true.

Your duty isn't over yet.

PANDORA departs from RYU's body and walks to IDARA and EDISTIO, the others, looking for other survivors.

Only EMELINA, SHURUI, PANDORA, IDARA, EDISTIO, ALAMANDA, HELHEST AND TYPHOON were able to leave alive.

With a little care, PANDORA might be able to undo that evil that ESTHER had incubated in SHURUI, though, its recovery will be slow.

EMELINA asks SHURUI to inspect the source of that light.

After a moment everyone who can move, they move there.

In the chamber, EMELINA, SHURUI, ALAMANDA and PANDORA find that there is a huge stone that absorbed all the magic, similar to that they had in the realm of the council.

Leave the rock in place.

They return to HELHEST, being one of only living dragons.

The current situation prevents them from traveling quickly to the new kingdom found by the protectors.

Please use a boat to travel.

That's the hands-on thing, though.

The problem is what they're going to do with the stone.

They don't know if there are large areas along the way, they could cause tsunamis along the way.

What should they do?

HELHEST said the dragons' time has ended since DRAKO died.

They have only been survivors in this world.

While this enormous power was necessary in the former kingdom of council.

Dragons are almost extinct.

They must heal and go in search of the other dragons and bring them to this castle.

There is no guarantee of the whereabouts of the dragons who once helped DWYER.

They almost wouldn't have died in the area.

HELHEST firmly thinks that humans must learn to live outside the yoke and protect them.

because, if not, they will be extinguished along with them.

In addition, they must safeguard the power of stone, which can bring calamity back into the world.

After a while, SHURUI and HELHEST left the castle.

TYPHOON has also recovered, still does not speak and spends the day glued to the presence of PANDORA.

Humans stayed, over time.

Few generations emerged from them.

The castle that used to be a prison, became home to the last dragons, isolated from civilization, in the care of a human who was touched by magic, a human for which time does not pass, through the generations, watching her friends die and taking care to keep the peace among the dragons.

During the millennia, the last sigh of one of his most beloved beings also arrives.

At the top of the tower, next to PANDORA, is TYPHOON, who has grown and aged, are united to give a farewell to SHURUI, who is grateful to have had a long life by his side.

PANDORA has his hands on SHURUI's face.

She looks at him wistfully on his face, if there is sadness and pain, but there is also peace.

For the first time in his lifetime, SHURUI transforms into a human to say goodbye to PANDORA.

PANDORA, smiles pleased, she caresses her human face, mature by age, PANDORA brings her face closer, the heartbeat of her hearts seems to be all you can hear.

PANDORA has placed his face on that of SHURUI, gradually diverting his lips from the cheek to the center of his face, kissing the lips of SHURUI, which transforms his face to that of a young man.

She looks him in the eye and with a smile, SHURUI confesses her love for PANDORA.

PANDORA embraces him, she confesses that she always knew, she thanks SHURUI for so many years of happiness.

TYPHOON also kisses SHURUI, SHURUI is pleased that she has become a great lady, strong and faithful like her father.

TYPHOON lowers his head trying to dull a smile.

PANDORA holds SHURUI's hand.

Gradually SHURUI loses its strength, the hand that touched PANDORA is loose and the appearance of SHURUI is again that of a dragon.

PANDORA wanted to put up with the crying.

Biting his lips.

He also confesses to loving SHURUI.

He's just hugging him for a while.

Now there are only two of them left, facing the horizon, in that huge construction that has withstood the passage of years.

Until... it's time for farewell.

Pandora is seen in the tower, caressing TYPHOON who is by his side.

Not every farewell is sadness...

Sometimes farewells are doors that open for new adventures and hidden treasures, for relics to discover... you can see the shell of a handmade leather book, with its baked leaves, yellowish over the years.

This book is closed by female hands.

This is a little girl who closes the book and with her eyes lit with happiness, she thinks she would have liked to be PANDORA.

She carefully accommodates the book on a large shelf of old books, from that little cabin, the image moves away, you can see through one of the windows that there is an old man sitting laughing with the girl.

Telling him he can live the adventures he wants.

They laugh together.

The image is lost, it was a small cabin, in a small village, located near an old castle by the sea.

The end.
