Return of Nightmare Moon
Chapter 14
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhen her vision cleared, Wind was standing in a void of total darkness. She looked around to find any form of light, but with no luck. As she began to take a step forward, there was a bright flash of light. After the spots cleared from her eyes, Wind saw that she was standing in her parents home. She looked up to find her parents standing over her. They both had stern looks on their faces.
"How could you let this happen?" Her father asked.
"What are you talking about, dad?" Wind replied.
"You let us die and then allowed Luna to be possessed by the nightmare mist." Her mother said.
"No, it wasn't my fault." Wind protested.
"Of course it was. You were tasked with rescuing us and protecting Luna. You have failed in your duties as a royal body guard." Her father said.
"But, I..." Wind started.
"Don't back talk your father young lady." Her mother said.
Wind fell to her knees and tears welled in her eyes.
"You have brought great shame to our family name." Her father continued.
"No. It wasn't my fault. I tried to save you. I tried to protect Luna." Wind said as she looked at her father through tears.
"Well, maybe you should have tried harder. Your father didn't let me die, and he had more to do to save me." Her mother said as the tears streamed down Wind's face.
Wind couldn't even speak, she was so heart broken by this turn of events. All her life, she had strived to impress her parents. She had finished at the top of her class in flight school. She had been loyal to her friends. She had even taken a part time job at the weather factory, before they were kidnapped. This was her deepest fear, she had always feared that her parents would be disappointed in her.
"Wait, that's it." She said to herself.
She wiped the tears from her face and stood up.
"You're not real." Wind said.
Her parents looked taken aback.
"Of course we are real." Her mother said.
"No. You're not. You are a manifestation of my deepest fear. I know that my parents would be proud of me. They always were." Wind said.
"No, you have disappointed us. You are a failure." Her father said.
"No. I have made a name for myself as head of the royal guard. You are fakes!" Wind yelled as she drove her sword into her father's chest.
"No!" He screamed as he exploded in a flash of light.
