I am so very very very sorry I missed Christmas. I made a New Years addition instead that has ZERO to do with the actual story plot. It's nice to see you all again and I hope you really like this short thing I just posted... Yeah! Enjoy!
We stood atop the highest tower of the castle-like school. Down below us our friends littered the lawn, we could see the army spreading out below us the soft glow of their torches giving off a memorizing look of peace. We knew it would not last, though. Today will end and General Corridor will go back to beating at the walls and we will go back to planning out what we will do when he's successful. For now we get to sit here in serenity as no signs of the battle to come are displayed. We get a moment of silence.
clock struck 11:59 and the countdown began. I looked over to her and she was staring up at the looming skies, the stars reflecting in her tired eyes and the moon light lit her face.
10
As the number rang out over the sea of people, shouted from both sides of the wall, she turned to face me. Adorn it was a soft smile that, for the first time in forever, reached her eyes.
9
I smiled back and took her hand in mine. We get this moment of peace. Just once. We get it.

Out of the corner of my eye I could see the fires go out as they perpared for the show. I started counting the stars shining in her eyes, the fit there perfectly.
7
Neither of us were nervous, we felt like this was just what we deserved.

"You know," 5 rang out cutting me off, "it's said that when you kiss on the first moment of the New Year your love will live on forever." I whispered to her making her smile brighten.

I leaned closer cupping her face.

She understood and her eyes fluttered shut.

Our lips connected sincerely in a moment of pure bliss. In the background we could hear the soft whisle of the fireworks flying. Then the loud boom. We seperated and slowly opened our eyes to see the colors of the light show above reflecting in our faces. I tilted my head up and she did the same.
Above was a magnificent lightship of sparkling colors and sprinkling magic. I don't know how but fireworks just tend to put me in a trance. They're just truly magnificent. Though, soon they faded leaving a star dotted sky in their place and the moon as our only light. After a few awestruck moments cheers rang out.
I couldn't make out what they were saying exactly but I did hear one thing,
"WE MADE IT!!!!"
