[Final Day] Endgame

[arsgoetia]

And just as suddenly as everything had began, the demons are gone—all of them. Not a single crow feather remains. As if being sucked backwards out of a vacuum, sound and light flood into the room and the hallway, crashing down on you. You are back in the real world, with noise and physics and sunlight streaming in through the window.

You are also left with two bereft Bellcourt children, the older of which is suddenly doubling over in his wheelchair and shouting in anguish.

*he'll let the others deal with Lucia and David for now, he's going to call Madison*

[arsgoetia]

The phone is already ringing nah just kidding. But Madison picks up on the first ring.

"Already?" he asks.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

*wouldn't have been surprised, really*

Yes, it's over for now.

[arsgoetia]

"Fast . . ." Madison muses. "Well, it's not over."

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

No. Something else is starting. The crow demon said two months.

[arsgoetia]

"That sounds about right," Madison says peacefully. "You will be here, then?"

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

I would hope so. I prefer to see things through.

[arsgoetia]

"Maybe I'll see you, then," Madison says vaguely. "Two months?"

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

...That's what he said.

[arsgoetia]

"Okay," says Madison, positively. "I'll see you then, maybe."

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

I'd like that.

[arsgoetia]

"I'm working on being stronger," Madison says abruptly.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

Is that so?

[arsgoetia]

"Mm," Madison trails off. "So I can be of more help."

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

You've helped, but it's good that you've found ways to hone your talents.

[arsgoetia]

"I'll keep working."

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

Good.
