Summary: Morro finds out how his final death ends.

Warnings: Mentions/descriptions of death

Prompt: Day 7 - Crystal | "Too late now."

Extra: I saw a tumblr thread on how Morro probably saw his death in the reflection of the Sword of Sanctuary, so I decided to write about it. Set during the time where Morro and the other ghosts are waiting for the Ninja to arrive.

He boredly swung the Sword of Sanctuary, imagining sparring with an invisible enemy. His work was done, all he had to do was sit idly and stop the Ninja from destroying the Realm Crystal. Then she would be free and he…

What would Morro do after this? The blade hesitated, just barely refraining from slicing the head clean off his nonexistent foe. He glanced at the blade in contemplation. Should he?

It would most likely be futile. She will not fail…right?

He carefully held the sword so he could look into its flat side.

He saw the Ninja showing up, of course. The Green Ninja (he thought with venomous disdain) ran into him and a group of ghosts, only to be revealed as the Water Ninja. Interesting, so this is their plan, he thought to himself, ideas of using this knowledge to his advantage bloomed in his mind.

Lloyd rushed into Ronin's old shop to destroy the Realm Crystal.

His future self said… something that made him hesitate long enough for her to drag him into the Cursed Realm. Then she was free.

They'll win. He will win.

A violent grin breached his ghostly face as he watched the Ninja retaliate, all futile efforts of course.

The Ninja evacuate Stiix, and Lloyd somehow returns. Seriously, this kid must be a cockroach or something.

The Ninja take down the supports and at some point he and Lloyd teleport around the 16 realms while fighting. He loses Lloyd somewhere.

Then the Water Ninja conjures a gigantic fucking wave.

And suddenly, he's losing. The Preeminent is drowning, and he's snagged by her as he tries to escape with the Realm Crystal.

And Wu comes. He comes to save Morro, to save him.

Why?

Morro could feel anger boiling inside of him again. Why would this old fool still care about him? After everything he did?

He saw as his sensei's mouth wordlessly spoke to his future self, saying something that convinced him to try; to save himself, to change.

And, yet again, his efforts meant nothing. The Preeminent refused to give up her prized possession, and Morro gave up.

He gave up.

He gave up.

Morro watched himself hand the Realm Crystal off to Wu and give up. He watched himself dissolve into nothing, dragged by his master to his watery death.

Enraged, he threw the sword and lodged it into a wooden beam.

"WHY?" he yelled at no one. "WHY WOULD YOU GIVE UP! WHY WOULD YOU SACRIFICE EVERYTHING WE'VE WORKED FOR?"

He tightened his fists, "Why..?"

And then, it clicked.

His teacher, his father, never gave up on him. Even when he became evil and tried to curse every realm, Wu never gave up on him. Even as he was trapped by the one he devoted himself to, bound to his imminent death, he didn't give up.

His sensei believed that Morro could be better; that he could change. But Morro knew it was too late for himself. He had gone too far, ruined too many lives. He had to rest now.

So he let go.

From afar, he heard something brewing. Some people were fighting. The Ninja.

"Too late now," Morro muttered to himself.

Highly recommend simply looking at the mud and rocks and such today if you have some free time on your hands. You might find something super cool!

(I did some poking around just yesterday, found a bunch of acorns, moss, and even some deer tracks!)

y'know you what?? i have constantly mentioned that batb is my inspo for of claude's tale and all that. what if i told you... barbie as the princess and the pauper is also an inspo?? particularly, anneliese and julian??? what if i said that?? especially the best friends aspect between them for claude and ray?? but before, i didn't have any idea of what can i do with the character A is engaged but loves another thing for them. and they're pining while that's been going on. i didn't think of that aspect too much until recently. and the angst potential is so high and yes, i know infidelity is frowned upon in most stories (it's always shown as wrong, which understandable.) and i know claude being in love with a married man (to her half-cousin, no less!) makes it forbidden. but damn, if i cannot shake it off my mind.

and the anneliese and julian brainrot is hitting so strong. the fact it'd be a forbidden thing between them if she had married king dominick. and why i have, indeed, made it worse in an AU where ray gets married to someone else (Esther, claude's half-cousin) to help her out. and claude's just very conflicted but does her best to support the marriage bc he's the best option they've got. despite how much she's into him but she tries so much to not do anything about it. no other guy was willing to forego true love if it meant a marriage of convenience that won't lead to that. and despite how ray makes it clear that he's fine with esther pursuing other ppl outside of the marriage... he feels too committed to it to do it himself.

basically, i am just...

Random questions: Have you spent any money on any games? if so what was the most expensive? and have you played any games on STEAM?

The only game I've spent money on is Poptropica. And the only game I've played on Steam is Poptropica.

I know this isn't relevant to the question, but I wish people didn't have to pay $20 to play some of the older islands on Steam.

But at least there's Flashpoint. That's free :)

Being a debbie/karen fan on any where but here is HARD I'm always getting attacked

[thermodynamic-comedian]

does the fact that i feel the need to forcefem every single fictional man i find attractive also imply something about my sexuality, or is that just like a fun quirk

[tklpilled]

idk i feel like jouno and tecchou would get flustered as lers rather than as lees. jouno turning bright pink because tecchou is so Shameless and tecchou having to take a break because jouno's laugh is so cute

With all the Mutant Mayhem hype going on right now it kind of makes me confront how I personally I feel about the movie and how much... I don't care about it...

Like! It's not like I hate it by any mean, I'm glad people are getting new turtle content! It's just... I'm actually not the biggest TMNT fan...?

Like, aside from Rise, I'm not particularly super into the other shows or movies. I've watched almost all of them, and they're good! But just... they're not really for me...

If I can be completely honest here for a second. They are great! I had a good time watching them! But I also never want to see them again duifjvjedifkg.

Rise is a mayor exception in this tho! The show it's so different from the rest of the iterations, and that's a good thing for me since that difference kind of, accidentally, end up hitting every single box for what makes me love a cartoon so much!

I think I've rewatched the Rise show and movie more times that I can count! fhsgdde.

And from the trailers alone I'm still not super sold on MM. Mostly because it feels like more of the traditional stuff we get from TMNT...

I'm going to watch the movie, of course, and I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it! The same way I enjoy the rest of the TMNT franchise.

But idk man...

I miss Rise....

ENOUGH about """hallmark movies""". Only Christmas movies that matter are Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel and Little Lord Fauntleroy
