Reblabble Town

Someone is fighting Gwima at his throne. Rumi thinks it’s Jinu. Mira and Zoey don’t know who it could be, they’re just thankful they don’t need to cross over anymore.

As they fight, Gwima is getting noticeably weaker now thats he is fighting on two fronts:

Zoey slashing tendrils of demon fire on one side but unable to dodge an incoming attack on the other. She braces for impact only for the mass of fire to dissolve into ashes before the blow could land.

Mira cutting down hordes of faceless demons while vaulting over sweeping attacks from the Demon King. Her own momentum growing too fast to adjust for an imminent jab attack from Gwima. But it too turns to ash before it can do any damage.

Rumi charging and cutting down everything in her path towards the king before the giant blast of fire rains down at her. She stops it with her sword, holding her ground before it’s gone. Stopped by.. Jinu? How? He’s fighting on the other side. (Rest of cannon movie scene where Jinu sacrifices himself for Rumi.)

Sword upgrade! Ignited from the power of embracing one’s true self, Rumi slashes the Demon King into pieces. Unable to fight back anymore, Gwima is but a spread out set of flames on the stage. But his presence is still felt. They need whoever on the other side to—

“Enough! You’re past your prime hunter. It’s time you reunite with your sisters!”

Everything for Rumi stops. Jinu and company weren’t fighting on the other side, it was Celine. The trio’s hearts collectively sink as they all process what’s about to happen. Because despite his words, Gwima’s flames only grew weaker and weaker as the moments dragged on.

Finally, what should have been a triumphant defeat of the Demon King was instead cloaked in despair. The sky flashes clear of dark clouds and the evil atmosphere dissipates into sunshine.

The trio knelt next to one another, tears trailing down their faces. They felt hollow.

Silently Rumi stands and puts a hand on each of Mira and Zoey’s shoulder. Without warning the three are teleported to the Hunter’s Hannok. They’re at the foot of the tree Rumi had been ready to surrender to not 30 minutes prior.

When Zoey’s and Mira’s ears stop ringing they heard Rumi muttering “no, no ,no,” under her breath. They weakly follow their distraught leader—the toll of the battle was catching up to them—down the path and into the house where Celine would be waiting for them.

All they find is a note. An apology, for lying. For having Rumi keep her patterns a secret from Mira and Zoey. An apology to Rumi for denying her a mother figure and making her feel like she wasn’t loved. An apology to Mira and Zoey for keeping them at arms length in an attempt to keep Rumi safe. An apology for her misguided understanding of faults and fears. And finally, an apology for leaving them without saying goodbye. For taking away another choice before anyone knew it was an option.

On the counter beside the note is a set of keys and a big binder of adult documents.
