Prologue
He found it ironic that it would end at the place at which it all started.
Even despite the tense situation, he couldn’t help but think of that moment so many years ago. Every detail down to the shades of the ash and birch trees looming about them that day was engraved in his mind.
The crunch of leaves being stridden about in the autumn.
The laughter of a young boy pulling his father along.
And the cold moonlight illuminating the silent forest.
So much was the same, but so much was different too, he mused. Looking in front of him, the man stared at the moonlit grove just as he did when he was a child. It was also the same as before. A dark grove with glowing snowy-colored flowers. Patches of moonlight and fireflies illuminated the grove, casting a soft light over the man as to greet him once again.
It was all the same, except for the most important feature. In the middle of the grove, standing in a moonbeam was a man with silver hair and a silver trench coat, glaring at him with determined jet-black eyes. In his hand was a gleaming rifle aimed straight towards him, unwavering like his gaze.
“…” There was no need for further words. Everything had been said already. Taking a longbow from his back and nocking an arrow, he grimly stared back at the silver-haired man.
A gunshot rang out in the once serene clearing. The moon continued to coldly judge them from the heavens.
And all that was left, was to wonder how it had gotten to this point in the first place.
