you were badly injured a giant wound graze on your stomach and chest, you gazed onto the fallen nation, vines acting as sheilds scattered around the broken ruins,

your eyes caught a glimpse on a small vine that's hanging on one of the statures, it looked healthy,

you held your hand out to leaf vine, the leaf grew into a long vine, hastily reaching towards you, it curls around your finger, and onto your wrist,

you grabbed onto the trailing plant, and pulled you closer to the creeper using it for support, you layed on the ruin, and used it as a resting place, blood pooling out of your body.

you can't just die like this, you can't just die in a barren nation that you and your comrades destroyed.

vines and flowers sprouted from the ground and covered you. After a while, the vines soon returned back beneath the ground, you adjust you vision to the gaze of moonlight,

a fairy stands on the edge of the ground and surrounding water, "greater lord rukkhadeveta! your back!..." The child's voice quickly softens from shock,

"no..no no no no..." her eyes widening as tears threatening to fall, you crawled towards the girl, keeping a hand onto your stomach, kusanali, your successor, runs towards you,

she hugs your neck, not to tightly, tears swelling up her eyes, you placed your hand on the back of her head, hugging her back.

"Apologies for having to leave you so soon...but it seems fate, has been decided..Kusanali.."

you pulled her back and cupped her face, wiping the tears that drips from her green orbs, "I dub you the new dendro archon, protect my...no- protect your people, and share the wisdom I bestowed on you."

"no, please... don't leave.."

"Kusanali..." you said with a stern voice, holding her face firmly, staring right into her green orbs, "I would and will never leave you.. that was the promise I told you, the day I first found you.."

you hugged the still crying child one last time, you felt your body fading, bright yellow particles start emit from your body,

your whole body turned to light and faded, the yellow particles both circled around the child, before diving into the earth.

mushrooms and flowers sprouted from the ground, Kusunali, caressed one of the plants, as single tear dropped onto one of them.

...

"Ah...My dear beloved.."

"A lovely noble flower of evil"

"Truly you are the most beautiful of all"

you took another step forward

"Mirror, Mirror on the wall"

"Who is the.."

you saw glimpse of a horse trotting in a forest, towards a gate. Behind it was a castle?

your vision darkens for a second before turning back to the room with the coffins and a mirror.

"Those who are guided by the dark mirror"

"As long as your heart desires,"

The same green flames illuminated once more, to reveal a hand on the other side of the mirror,

"Take the hand that appears in the mirror"

you hastily reached your hand out, placing it on the glass, your vision darkens...

...
