Burn: The Last Witness (part 31)

(The Midnight Hunt)
*Finally taking Dannawthen's head, and making sure to crush each of his blue eyes to end him for good, finds Kathryn not nearly as elated as she thought she would be. Her duty was to the Citadel and its people and killing the beast she brought in, the beast she allowed to cause so much chaos just to maybe make the High Father talk, still did not fix the many errors she has made. The Citadel keeps burning, it's people keep dying, and if anything fighting Dannawthen just made things worse. It allowed the Old One free access to kill many Kathryn could have saved and while walking through the carnage she didn't stop, unhurt from her battle yet exhausted, it suddenly hits Kathryn hard. Her duty truly was to the Citadel and its people not to ending all the darkness found in the Darkened Earth. The mangled bodies, skin melting from their bones, of people she promised eternity to proves she should have just believed in her charge and stayed a Witness who protected like instead of trying to kill evil [AI Art]*
