LU 298 - Shayde 5

“The fog. It’s coming.”
That was the first thing I heard when I closed my eyes. My instincts told me to run, yet I stayed glued to that spot for what felt like ages. That spot, where I hid from “U” and Cashew, the spot where I concealed myself and my grief behind leaves and trees. The spot where I was left alone. Then, I saw it. The fog, coming over the horizon, tearing everything in its path apart. Destroying any signs of life with little resistance.
I ran for it. I ran and I ran until.. I reached the stump. The stump, the place I had called home for so long. I swore when I made this place my home that I would go down with it, and that was precisely what I planned to do. I freed Scarlet from her prison, and brought her to my room. I sobbed for what felt like ages, holding scarlet close to me as the fog poured into the base. 
“I-I’m sorry, Scarlet. I swore to protect you when we found each other, and… I can’t do that.. Just like I couldn’t protect my home… I’m a failure. I’m sorry…”
Those were the final words ever spoken by the Leader of the Warden Wakers, Shayde. He died just as he had lived, cold and alone, with no one to hear his sobs but himself.
