Rebellion's Written Souls
End of the Tale
You feel a bit sad as you leave the magical book closed. You remember the brave rebels you met: the rogue, the mage, and the knight. You feel like you were there in the past time with them, helping them fight against the mean ruler. But now, choosing to ignore their story, the world in the book becomes quiet.
It's like the magic inside the book is slowly melting away. The fighting and the brave talk of the rebels are quiet. It feels like they know that you aren't there to help. Things are silent and the words of the book stop rewriting themselves. It's like a candle that has stopped burning.
You hold the quiet book in your hand and think about what had changed. You remember how the ruler used to be a kind lady, before something made her mean. 'I could have been brave and helped bring back the peace,' you whisper to yourself. But those big, bold actions you could have taken begin to vanish along with the last traces of magic.
And so, days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months. Every time you see the book, you remember the rebellion. You feel a dull ache at opportunities lost. Despite not being actively involved anymore, the memories remain as vivid as ever. The magic may have faded from the book, but the stories you read and the lessons you learnt will stay with you, forever.
