A beam of light shot out towards the sky, accompanied by the sound of crystals breaking.
The red crystal that hovered above Chiffon's chest shattered into thousands of pieces, and was replaced by a beautiful pink flower in full bloom. The flower glowed brightly, but its light would flicker from time to time like the beating of a heart.
The old woman's smile widened as she watched Chiffon slowly descend towards the ground. The little girl's eyes were open, but it was like a window covered by fog. No light, nor hope, could be seen within their depths.
Only lifelessness, as if her soul had left her body.
The old woman approached Chiffon and caressed the side of the little girl's face. It felt smooth to the touch, which reminded her of her youth that had withered away after staying in the Tower of Babylon for hundreds of years.
As the first day of 2022, I would like to wish all of you a Happy New Year!
I am the Author's BFF, so if any of you want to hunt him down and crucify him to the cross, sadly, you won't be able to do that.
The fool had made a run for it, and will be back after all of you had calmed down, and stopped asking for his head.
I bid you all a wonderful, wonderful day and I'll see you alll... when I next see you!
"I'm Rolling!"
