Burn: The Last Witness (part 41)

*Burn has a chance to stay in forever, to be at peace and reside in the new heaven of what will soon be a new earth, but he declines. Kathryn is dead and already there, Gabriella is a mere ghost forger lamenting that she can never enter, and Burn is tempted. Soon, however, the thought of Gabriellas sone Rayne, and how she keeps begging for him to be brought to the new heaven, spurs Burn into action. He picks up his jacket, and the ancient axe, and decides to be a Witness one last time. Though the son of the High Father tells him to have faith and let the High Father deal with the evil of the Darkened Earth, Burn reminds the son that he still has free will and, besides, he's not after evil anymore. He's after one touch of light an ageless boy he once abandoned and if it takes his life he will be a Witness again to lead that boy back to salvation [AI Art]*
