Black.

All she could see.

Black.

Darkness.

Corruption.

Imagines of death, desctruction, pain all whirled by her.

She saw Sera sink.

Edyn flood.

Aria on fire.

Maris explode.

Thide ripped apart by wind.

This was the future.

She has failed.

Sadness snuck into her heart, sobs breaking free from her lips.

No.

This cannot be the future.

I will survive.

For the children.

Who bounce around innocently.

For the hopeful.

Who pray each day for peace.

For the kind.

For the smart.

For the evil.

For the vengeful.

They all have the right to live.

We have the right.

Breathe, Raven! BREATHE!

SURVIVE!

Raven's eyes flew open, her body shooting up from the bed.

She glanced outside the window of the room.

The night sky greeted her eyes, stars twinkling a bit brighter.

Raven stood, throwing the covers off of her.

She marched to the window, slamming her hands on the window sill. She stared out at the city before her, a vow etching into her skin.

She grinned, her eyes sparkling.

Her body moved as she breathed in and out.

"Time to give us light again."

Raven spun on her heels, marching out to the hall.

Still in the temple, I see.

She walked down the halls, purpose filling her soul again.

She spotted her friends, along with Jimin and his guards in the front entrance.

"H-how did she--?"

Yoongi fell to the floor, tears dropping to the ground. Jimin knelt down next to him, rubbing his back.

"Belle said that her body couldn't handle it. She's in a better place now..."

Jaebum gave him a sympathetic look, looking as if he too had been crying.

"I just got her back! I ---"

Raven approached them, hands knotted together in front of her.

"Hey boys."

They froze, staring at the red head in awe.

"What? I have a mission to complete, I'm not letting anything stop me. Not even death."

Yoongi jumped up, practically tackling her in a hug. The others sprinted over as well, each hugging her.

They pulled away, some whipping tears from their eyes.

"So... where are you guys headed next?"

Raven kicked at the ground, a sweet smile on her lips. Her blue eyes locked with Jimin's brown ones, a smile appearing on his lips as well.

"You can join us when we go back to Sera."

Raven cheered, happy as can be. Her guardians laughed, happy that she stands before them.

"Let's get some rest, it's been quite the long day."
