“Zuko catch up!” Ozai called behind him for what felt like the dozenth time that day.
“C-Can we… rest… a bit?”
“Hono colony is still a day’s journey out. We need to make it before winter fully sets in.” Ozai continued walking. “Come. Quickly now.”
Zuko pulled the worn blanket tighter around him with gritted teeth and forced himself forward.
The forest was eerily quiet. No birdcalls or insects. Just the sound of their feet crunching on the dead leaves and twigs. Ozai checked the map Piandao packed. They should be coming to the main road soon, but it would be wiser to stay in the forest. The second pair of footsteps slowed again. Ozai grunted.
“If I have to tell you one more time to-“
Thud.
On instinct, Ozai whipped around with his hands lit prepared to attack. His eyes immediately landed on Zuko who had collapsed. Ozai’s heart stopped.
You know, I don't think that Jesus would be hard to get along with because he's omniscient, I think He would be that ideal friend who literally always gets the joke no matter what it's about because he always knows all of the references
THE END!! I can't believe I finally completed this. When I first started this comic, I had no idea that it would end up being this long. A little over 3 years and over 200 parts, so around 2000 panels. (My folder that holds all my files relating to this comic is 3 GB with 2,017 items....). I honestly can't believe that I managed to stick around to the end of this. Thank you all so much for the support, I never imagined that so many people would care about this comic when I started it!
Of course, there are still some loose threads. The kwamis and Nathalie for example, but the core of this series has always been about the emotional conflict between Marinette and Adrien, and that has been resolved. I have some epilogue ideas to cover those loose ends, but this comic has already taken so much of my time and I'm not sure I want to promise that I'll get around to it. ... But who knows. Maybe!
For now, Adrien and Marinette will get some long-deserved rest.
