Chapter 21: "Echo of the End"
"What Does It Mean to Be a Hero?"
Dear reader, perhaps you're asking yourself this question now. Perhaps you're wondering why I'm writing about Azar, this boy who believed he could change everything. The truth is, I'm not writing about him because he's a hero. I'm writing about him because he's human, just like you.
Azar... did he know he was walking toward his end? No, of course not. But he felt it. His final steps were like a fiery dance, the last movement of a dancer unafraid of the flames.
But let's step back a little.
"The End Begins with a Decision"
That night, after defeating the agent, Azar sat on the edge of a cliff. The winds were whipping through his hair, and the sky above him twisted as if weaving a new conspiracy. He gazed at the horizon and wondered:
"Why me? Why was I given all of this?"
He knew he wasn't the only one who remembered. The resistance? Maybe they were hope, maybe they were a curse. But the painful truth was that no matter what he did, the system would remain. The nominal ruler was more than just a person or entity. He was a law. He was... reality.
"The Greatest Sacrifice"
This is where the intelligence lies. Azar wasn't foolish. He realized that confronting the ruler wouldn't be enough. His realization was like a flame lighting up the darkness of his mind. And he decided... to become the key himself.
But how does one become a key? Let me explain it to you, dear reader.
"The Journey Back to the Origin"
Azar, using the power he gathered from all the worlds he visited, began to break the laws that governed time and space. He knew that if he could unravel the fabric of the universes, he would become a part of the system himself. But this meant... he would cease to exist.
I know what you're thinking now. Why would he do this? Why sacrifice himself? The truth? Azar wasn't looking for happiness. He wasn't searching for power. He was looking for something greater.
"The Final Moment"
Dear reader, let me tell you how the tale ended.
As Azar approached the center, the point where time and space converge, his body began to dissolve. Every particle of him turned into light, into energy.
In his final moments, he whispered:
"I'm not a hero... but I chose to be the end."
And so, Azar ended. Or so we think.
"The Truth of the Tale"
But here, let me be honest with you. Did Azar truly end? Or did he become part of the system? Or did he return in a way we can't understand? The truth is, I don't know.
But I can say one thing:
Azar wasn't just a hero, or a victim, or even a villain. He was an idea. And ideas... never die.
Dear reader, when you close this book, remember this:
"Ends are just convincing beginnings."
The chapter ended, but the real story... has just begun
