Chapter 41 - Chapter 14.2: The World's End

"Ahahaha! hahh, hahh, hahh," the boy panted. "It's been so long since I've brought someone here. Ahahaha!" he laughed cheerfully, spreading his body out on the ground.

I stood before him at a place made entirely of grey stones, molded and conjoined, they took the form human statues continuously toppled over one another to form high rising pillars that reached far up into the sky, bearing the weight of the mighty structure above us, a structure so large that it entirely blocked out the Sun and provided it's own light from the crystals rooted below it.

Whenever the wind blew through the gaps in the numerous pillars a melody would echo throughout the land. The stronger the wind The stronger the song.

"Where are we?" I asked him.

"Hm? You're in me."

"Those that mean your a real person?"

"Of course I'm real!" he looked a little annoyed.

"I see." I walked away from him. 

"Ah! Where are you going?!"

I walked and walked.

"Hey! Stop! Wait for me!"

And kept on walking, until eventually I had left the area beneath the giant structure and was bathed by the sunlight.

He ran in front of me, arms wide as he obstructed me. "When I tell you to wait, you wait!" He looked annoyed, his purple eyes illuminating.

"But I'm hungry." 

"Huh?"

We stared at each other. "Oh is that it?" he sighed with relief. "You should have just said so."

He put his hands down and started going somewhere. He pointed at me, "Stay right there, I'll go get us some food," he said excitedly as he jogged off before vanishing with the flow of the wind.

I moved on. 

Past the stone rivers and water forest was a cliffside where the sea raged far down below.

There, there was no land, no creatures, no life as far as the eye could see, as if I had reached the world's end: so I leapt. From the high top of the Earth into the depths of the sea. Praying that I might one day-

Sounds.

 Sounds.

 Whispering sounds.

Inaudible.

"So the word is true."

I opened my eyes. The stars had shaped to form an eye glaring down at me from beyond the purple sky.

"And the King falleth from the sky."
