Homecoming [1]

For the next few minutes I continued to lay on the ground while catching my breath. A dust cloud had formed around us therefore stopping me from seeing anything, but I could feel the dirt and ground beneath. 

"Finally here," I said to myself, letting out a sigh. 

Although as I was lying there I felt something weird. Req's hand should have been holding my hand but I didn't feel it there. It was strange so I decided to take a look in her direction. 

However, when I turned to the side I found nothing but a sword lying there on the ground. Req was not there, just the Requiem sword. 

"Req?" I called. 

There was no reply. I didn't understand what was happening, she was here just a moment ago. 

I got up and tried to look for her. But found nothing. As I was walking the pain in my body suddenly increased and I ended up coughing blood.
