Chapter 8. Forgo
Winston could hear Finn calling his name - he wanted to
answer, but couldn't. He'd fallen forward onto the ground
and lay unable to move.
He heard Finn running toward him and saw his boots stop
in front of his face. Finn rolled him over and cleared mud
from his mouth.
As Finn check him for wounds, Winston wanted to tell him
he was sorry. He felt the pressure of Finn's hands on his

chest. "Leave me." he wanted to say. Don't waste your time.
There was no more time left, Winston knew it. His life was
over. He could feel the last of it trickling away. He closed his
eyes for what he knew would be the last time.
In the stillness he heard a woman's voice.
"Not yet Winston."
There was a burst of brilliant sunlight through the gathering dark.
Warmth spread across his chest and his face, and he felt it
seep deep down inside him.
"My name is Eurides." the woman said.
He took a breath, then another and for the first time in his
life he was aware of his heart beating and the blood flowing
through every part of his body.
Winston felt himself being lifted up. He stood beside a tall
radiant woman. "Am I dead?"
"Not today." she said.
He watched Finn working on his body. "This War made me
lose what little faith I had to begin."
Eurides put her hands on Finn's shoulders.
"This has nothing to do with your faith Winston. You've done
your best to keep Finn safe and out of harms way - and for that
I'm grateful."
Winston looked at the Captain's body.
"I'm glad I killed that bastard, but I let Finn down. He's out
here on his own."
"He is more resourceful than you think." Eurides said.
"I have a favour to ask you Winston."
"What is it?" he said, unsure of how he could be of any use.
Eurides smiled "I need you to forget."

Will You Be Alone? After The End? Don't You Know We're All Still Here?
More than a century ago the world was devastated, but that doesn't matter. Nobody cares about the past, stories from that time are as wildly conflicting as they are ridiculous--when any stories exist at all. There are problems in the here and now that need to be dealt with, bringing the past into things isn't going to help anyone. The fact is that young people all over the world are developing mysterious powers, and the public reactions to these powers are far from positive. Fair enough, you might say. Who wants a young man around who can conjure heat from the palm of his hand? How deeply undesirable is a girl who can bend your emotions to her will? What use, I ask you, is a girl whose very essence crackles with lightning? No use at all, I'd say. As for this so-called Mr Fin and his grand ideals, well, all I can say is that his clothing is of better quality than his plans. Vague allusions to a 'sanctuary' and a 'mysterious and powerful statue' are all very well, but when it comes to solid results I fear you may find him somewhat lacking. Mark my words and mark them well, following one such as him will only lead to tears. All in all, I'd say there's not much you could reasonably expect from a world such as this. Conflict, perhaps. Hardship, certainly. Despair, heartache, loss... ...hope? No, don't be ridiculous. Where could one find hope, in this ruin of an existence? Honestly, I am asking. Where?Discord
