And so everything slowed as the night finally crept over all. It was the close of a great chapter and everyone enjoyed the change of fortune to that of peace. It was now a time to rebuild old lives and begin new ones. To start anew and to shape the future for the better. The game of life, where all the world was the stage, reached a closing....
"For now." A group stood on a perch overlooking the Ancient City as everyone finished their last few tasks that they had to attend to. "...For now you all can rest easy. But know this is just Halftime. And once Halftime is over....It's game on all over again." Then the group slipped away from the city, into the shadows.
It's a classic type of closing, so it should work for anything. Simple, and all inclusive.
of course, whenever I write an ending, I try to reference a title that was seen at the beginning. I paraphrased the Title in the last line of the first section. I would try to figure out how to better just use the exact title as is instead. Heck maybe make a reference to the first scene that Major had in the IC....
But I digress.
And then I have this sinking feeling wriggle and wonder have this insane concept trying to chase some obscure end that will just drag this on and would go with that regardless of just saying "enough is enough."
Its something I had to do with Eternal Galaxy. I initially had no true end for Echoes of Time. It kept going. Finally after I tormented myself where I kept planning on and on and on I finally said "Ok I want a tragic ending? Lets just kill everyone so that way I can't write a sequel anymore..."
And that's exactly what I did. But then I wrote Part III anyway. =w= At least I ended the main arc with Aion....
