The End 01

After some time, Reen woke up in a place filled with darkness. She was surrounded by nothing but darkness, what was peculiar though was that despite the darkness, she could still see her body clearly.

She could hear a soft singing around her. She opened her ears as much as she could to listen to the soft voice.

♪ Staring at your broad back

Cursing the stamina I lacked

I stretched my arm as fast as it can go

While screaming the words "No! Don't go!" ♪

She didn't know why but the song seems to be telling her something so she stood up strained her ears and tried to hear some more.

♪ Don't leave me all alone in this place

Turn around and face

The life that was created for us

By the all mighty God that's high above us

Don't lose hope and turn around

If you do, a treasure will surely be found

The gift of God's hope and blessings

Will soon come if you continue living ♪

She started jogging then running trying to chase that voice with no particular direction in mind.

♪ So stop walking; turn around and come back to me

Will figure this out just believe in him and me

We can deal with those together

And help out each other

Everything will work out in the end

So I repeat this once again ♪

She started panicking as she ran and ran even stumbling a few times but she hurriedly stood up and ran once more.

♪Turn around and come back to me

Will figure this out, just believe in him and me♪

"No! Noooooo!" Reen started shouting as she stumbled and laid flat on the ground exhausted. The singing ended and she could hear nothing else anymore.

Filled with despair, exhaustion and abandonment she once more close her eyes and fainted. Then, all that remained was darkness and silence.

However something changed. Because Reen had fainted, she did not notice that her body which was previously only emitting a flickering light changed into a dense light chasing all the darkness slowly away.

The song continued to play then as though telling her not give up, to turn around [1] and try once more. The song continued to play in an eternal loop and only stopped when the once dark environment lightened and turned into a warm and comfortable atmosphere filled with life and abundant vitality.

A hand so fair and white touched Reen's body which laid comfortably onto a patch of flowers. Reen was flipped over and had her back on the flower field as her face was facing the bright and blue majestic sky.

Upon its touch, Reen glowed once again and a blinding light shone and covered everything into nothingness once more.
