Chapter 15 - Epilogue

My eyes slowly opened, it was bright, wherever I was right now. My eyes fully opened, All I saw was a blank white space, seeming to have no corners nor end, it seemed infinite.

I quickly placed my hand over my eye, expecting to feel a bloody mess, but it seemed to have perfectly healed, as if all the past events had never even happened.

I saw then a figure, standing about 20 feet away from me, his face looking away.

"S-S-Shadow? Is that you?"

He turned his head around, his familiar skull-like face looking back at me, cheeks a bit damp as if he too, had been crying.

"Axel!"

He sprinted towards me, I was doing the same. He embraced me, both of us falling to the ground.

"I thought I had lost you." Shadow said quietly, pulling me in tight.

"I thought you were gone!" I exclaimed. I looked around. "Where are we?"

Shadow gave me a sad smile.

"Don't you remember my dear? I died, you probably did too to end up here, I'm so, so sorry I wasn't there, to prevent all of this."

"Shadow, I... am I really dead?"

"Yes, but it's going to be alright, I've heard about what happens when one passes on, but I have never experienced it myself."

I nodded, I looked down to my hands, they emitted a soft blue light, and seemed just a bit more faded, almost see through.

"S-Shadow, what's happening to me?"

I realized the same thing was happening to him.

"We're passing on." He said softly.

I swallowed, passing on, to where?

"Im scared." I said softly.

"It's going to be okay."

I looked up to him.

"Because I will be right with you, the whole way,"
