The End

Multiple vast caverns emerge,
Finally, a glimpse of light appears that creates a reflection,
There's something following me,
Will they hurt me?
Suddenly a rush of thoughts cloud my mind,
I begin to fear of what's to come next,
It's like the darkest memories of my childhood have escaped,
Have the gods decided that now is the right time for me to be punished for my sin,
Shall I go back to hopefully escape or continue to the next phase of my life?
I continue to say, 'trust your instincts',
I sprint back knowing that I can't escape from my destiny,
Someone appears in the distance,
They are wearing a black cloak with rings with incredible designs and a black crystal necklace,
I yell for desperately yell for help,
No one replies,
The next thing I know is that I'll be executed in front of millions and millions of people.
