Burn: The Last Witness (part 30)

(The Midnight Hunt)
*While Elder Grayson foolishly tries to save his own life, through bending the knee to the Old One, Kathryn truly does go to fix the terrible error she made. She fully believed the High Father was wrong for ever charging her with letting anyone, who searched for the Citadel, be allowed to enter the Citadel. Only those she found, she chose and vetted, were those she knew were worthy of the immortality the Citadel offered and just because the High Father stopped speaking to the Elders, and to the Witnesses, after she and Elder Grayson began their selective rescue of those in the Darkened Earth she never once doubted her decision. But bringing Dannawthen inside the Citadel, to finally make the High Father speak since the Shine has shrunk so much the Darkened Earth was almost at the doorstep of the Citadel, only brought about everything Kathryn ever feared. The Citadel is in chaos, is burning, all because she didn't have the faith to follow the High Father even if she could no longer understand why he said what he said. She is at fault, and so she goes for the one thing that can make everything right. Since she brought Dannawthen in she should be the one to take him out...but the chaos and burning of the Citadel has fed Dannawthen, has made him unlike he has been since the Old One ruled all of Earth millions of years before. His blue is gone, he is saturated with the red glow of a chaos that has fed him into an even bigger size. Kathryn is facing not the Dannawthen Burn just fought, she's facing Dannawthen supreme [AI Art]*
