“Everyone deserves to die – even that abominable man I cut down only minutes ago.” He kneels across from me and reaches out, caressing the skin that he just so recently healed. “To live is to die,” he adds. “That was the agreement you made when you came into this world. You cannot have one without the other. All your life, all your suffering, all your loss – it was all for this.” He gestures to the dead around us, his wings spreading wide. “You all have been running towards me your entire life.”
