Y/N POV

Holy fucking shit... Everything hurts so much. My throat is sore, my body feels like it's gonna melt and everything I touch is making me wince. As I go to roll onto my side, it felt like every fiber of my being was crying. I do eventually lean up and look at Jack's body. Hell if I know if he was dead or not. Since he's from the Void or I would assume altered by it, he's made of sterner stuff. He could just be playing dead for all I know. I hear Kat off to my side leaning up as well.

Katarina: Fucking hell...

Y/N: You can say that again...

As I put my hands down to act as support, my hand touches the Ouroboros piece again. I hold it up in front of me and just stare at it. This thing was just a single piece and I could still tell it was powerful. It wasn't even hot from its lava bath.

Katarina: What is that?

Y/N: One of eight pieces. A sword that apparently helps one understand eight different parts of life. Phases we all go through. Jack told me it could show me who killed my sister.

Katarina: Wait... you mean to tell me, he didn't do it?

My eyes land on Jack's body again. I couldn't honestly tell. Normally, I would feel empty after killing the wrong guy, but I couldn't tell with this one. As I go to get up, my legs began to throb in pain, causing me to fall back down.

Katarina: Ah shit... Getting out of here is going to be a serious hassle.

Y/N: Can you still move...?

Katarina: Bout to find out.

She groans as she begins to get up and unlike me, makes it to her feet. It almost makes sense to me. She's been doing this all her life and she didn't take a stab through the torso like I did. A bad tumble down some rocks is only worse if the rocks are sharp. I also took the brunt of the fighting. My lungs were still burning from nearly getting choked out. Really need to pay attention to that for a moment but I doubt the heat here will help. Just then, my heart stopped as I heard another body moving around. Jack was still alive!? I shot him in the fucking face!

Jack: This... is not my destiny...

I watched him with wide eyes as he began to stand up again.

Jack: I... have to prove her wrong...

Hearing Kat shuffle next to me, she picks up his sword again and trudges over to him.

Katarina: Prove her wrong in hell!

Jack looks up as she went for a swing at his neck. One cut and that was it, the head was separated from the body, causing the armor and leather to fall to the ground, including the mask. Me and Katarina both take a sigh of relief. Now it was really over. She then falls back down towards me and slowly crawls to my side.

Katarina: How about now?

As I look at the remains of the body of Jack and shake my head. It was just like all the other times. He wasn't the one who killed her.

Y/N: No. He wasn't the one.

She groans before placing her hand on mine.

Katarina: Well I meant what I said earlier. I'll never leave your side.

Y/N: Despite knowing what getting my revenge will do too me?

Katarina: Stop thinking about yourself for just a second please.

She pulls herself up and with a bit of my help, leans against me.

Katarina: Revenge isn't a bad thing, but it is unhealthy. The things it'll make you do would ultimately make you a monster. Just for one moment, think about others. Think about all the other people who could suffer. By killing this killer for the sake of others and not yourself, it would be more akin to justice. I know it sounds stupid but...
