//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: Absence Of Life // by AnnEldest //------------------------------// Nothing makes sense to her anymore. Her mind just kept spinning and the world around her felt like it was melting.  She knew that everybody else thought she was going crazy. Maybe she was because she was starting to believe it.  what happened to her that night? Why Was she feeling like this?  She was feeling both extremely weak and worn but also more strong than she ever had before. her whole body was so sore and burning up as if it was on fire. Something wasn't right with her but no one else believed her. The doctors and nurse said that she was most likely her in shock but she knew otherwise.  But what was it? Eris watched with pure joy within the shadows at Trixie as she slowly descend into her own madness. Canight stood by her getting impatient.  “I don't see the point of this. Why don't we just finish her off?”  He already had his paw light up with dark smoke. “ it'll be easy. They won't even know.” “You poor little fool. Always in a rush,” She spoke quietly. “As much as I would love to watch the light in her eyes drain as with the others, unfortunately, I do see some used with her."  She looked over back at Trixie as she was tilting her head one side then to the other.  “It's happening more quickly than I expected it. At this rate maybe even a couple of days,” Canight observed.  “They have always have been unpredictable. But for now, let's just wait. We need the Guardian's magic. Our own won't be enough to open the gate and with her being one of them, we can let Luna and her friends deal with them. Then we can clean up the mess.” "You better know what you're doing." Eirs let out a small chuckle. "I do. And it is going better than I had first planned."
