Lara's POV

"So who's first?" Diamond challenged "Make a wise decision, heroes, I am your creator, I know all of your moves."
The heroes gave each other doubtful looks but Ty remained confident, much like Hawkfrost actually. I noticed that Tyler was considering volunteering, but probably wanted to think of a decent strategy first. 
"Come on, I'm waiting." Diamond rushed them, smirking probably from looking forward to a fight. At that point Tyler's face lit up and he smirked as he proudly lifted his head up,
"I'll go first." Everybody looked surprised at him. Diamond grinned even wider.
"Oh so I'm fighting a magician first." She said, words coming out of her mouth smoothly.
"Not just any magician, a very hot one." Tyler said proudly. I heard somebody behind me giggle "Oh and no pun intended."
Diamond rolled her eyes but I'm pretty sure she was enjoying it all "Whatever smartass, let's just get this over with."
"Gladly."

Tyler stepped aside from other heroes, facing Diamond. It was only then that I noticed that Tyler actually had some sort of golden metallic gloves on his hands, each having a small green gem on the top, I doubted that was emerald though. Just some fancy jewellery. Diamond was the one to attack first, aiming bright blue fire at Tyler. When she said that she knew all of their moves and that she was an equal enemy, I just assumed she meant that they are equally strong. Rather stupid of me actually, as it was now obvious that she was going to be using the exact moves the heroes had left from their villain era. Toxic quickly dodged.
"Missed me." He said in a singing -like-tone. Diamond growled as aimed another pack of fire, now even bigger at him. Tyler blocked the attack with his own neon green fire.
"Creator of Labyrinth you say? I'd call you the creator of bad attacks actually." Tyler said acting smart and faked a yawn. 
"Shut up!" Diamond yelled "Shut up and fight me!" With those words she aimed another attack, but rather carelessly as it didn't have much effect and Tyler easily dodged it.
"But I need to say, you did make me a pretty darn sexy villain." He added. Each time Tyler played around, teasing Diamond she became more and more angry. Watching their fight I noticed something I don't know how many others did, but I think heroes have figured it out. Tyler found out a way to fight Diamond, all though she was literally the same as him. Each and every one of them had an ability, a personality trait they developed over time, it was something Diamond didn't give them. For Tyler I guess that was being a smart fucker. And damn he used this ability well.
I could see that Diamond wasn't planning on going through this bullshit any longer. With a furious scream and breath-taking speed she ran to Tyler and tried to strangle him. But Tyler was prepared and pushed her down so her face fell to the earth.  I just stared at him, mind-blown at how he defeated her with words, only using his fire attack once and even that just for defence. And at the same time, as evil as it sounds I was enjoying seeing a bastard like Diamond suffer like that.
But just as expected, she wasn't done yet. She lifted her face up and spit some dirt out.
"Honey that was just marvellous." Tyler said with a chuckle. It made so little sense it was funny. Diamond looked at him, still pissed at how he humiliated her.
"Do you have any idea how gay that sounded?" 
"Of course he does, it was just a transition, you see." A new voice spoke, I noticed it was Jason's. He and Adam walked to the scene as Tyler stepped back.  Diamond stood up and whipped the dust of her clothes before coldly looking at the two males.
"Wow, gay lords nice." Diamond said. It seemed like she pushed her very recent humiliation back and went back to her normal, smart, villain statements.
I watched carefully as the second round was about to begin. Adam was standing a few meters in front of Diamond, and Jason stood a few meters behind. Diamond remained careful, keeping an eye on both of them. Then she launched herself at Adam, creating her own sword with no effort at all. Adam blocked her attack but Diamond kept on pushing with force. That's when Jason ran ahead and tried to strangle Diamond from behind. But she predicted his move and kicked him in the nuts. Really she read his mind, that seemed super unfair.
"Owww that had to hurt." Sorrows said. I still watched the fight, full of excitement. It was like watching a good action movie pretty much. 
Jason backed away, holding his stomach. Diamond smirked and Skybrine took this chance and sliced with his sword, cutting her cheek. Blue, sparkly blood ran down her shadowed skin. But Diamond soon got back into the fray and the sword combat continued. The fight didn't seem to be going anywhere so Jason joined in, aiming a dark magic attack at Diamond. She blocked it with ease and now turned to Jason. Just as expected, she possessed his powers as well and got ready to aim at him. Jason looked a but startled but Adam jumped in between just in time. I don't know what happened next as everything happened in less than a second but when Diamond shot at them, the two heroes formed some kind of a shield which not only blocked Diamond's magic, but shot it back at her. Karma.
The force shot Diamond meters backwards. She got up, her limbs trembling.
"Who taught you that..." She asked more surprised than confused. Adam and Jason looked at each other, smirking. By the way they did that, I just saw something in it. They weren't a couple. Maybe as villains but not as good guys. That really made me wonder more about what Diamond did to them as villains, did she have the power to control their romantic interests? If so, that was really damn cruel.
Adam and Jason then looked at Diamond, their expressions still filled with pride. 
"We did." As they said that Diamond frowned.
"Oh, you thought I didn't know your plan." She said coldly, I think she figured out that they were using their personality traits as weapons against her at that point. Then she laughed quietly "Well don't worry heroes, I'll still win." 

The next hero to step forward was Icee. We all just stared in amazement at her size. Seeing a dead large dragon was one thing, but seeing it alive, moving was something else. I looked Hawkfrost, interested in his reaction since he was the one to find Icee the most annoying villain. Just as everybody else he stared at her, amazed and in a mix of fear and respect. There were a few more features on her body I found interesting, and surprising as well. First of all, her body was white, a bit beige. I had no idea why it was so but it looked nice to be honest. The second thing missing on her body were wings, which I found even more surprising. As much as I remember, she bragged about her wings all the time and had a lot of knowledge on how to use them. I remembered that back when my life was still normal, her dragonsona didn't have wings, but still, that didn't make it any less surprising as I still had no explanation why her wings were suddenly still gone.
I looked at Diamond. She shape-shifted to a dragon as well, about the same size as Icee. Her body was black with lighter tuft coming out of her head. She had several spikes and a pair of horns, all light gray. Unlike Icee however, she also had a pair of large wings. 
"Until now I've been defeated by things I don't have, but if anything, there's a thing you don't have." Diamond said proudly and opened up her wings. Icee narrowed her eyes.
"There is a reason I don't have them anymore. In the end I'll be the one to win this round, Diamond." Icee said, keeping her voice calm and serious. 
"Then bring it on!" 

The two dragons clashed in each other, both aiming for necks first. Since both of them had long necks, they managed to both get a grip of their opponent's neck. In a furious battle of growling and snarling, there seemed to be no way out as when one bit harder, so did the other one and none could let go as that would give the other advantage.  Icee raised one of her front legs, in an attempt to get Diamond off her by clawing her. But Diamond predicted this move and stopped Icee. It looked like she planned this out carefully as when Icee was probably thinking of her next move she pushed her on her backs. I didn't know much about dragons but just like at many animals, if your belly was revealed you were pretty much dead. I prayed that Icee would find a smart way out now, there was no way they could lose. Luckily Icee did, and I think that this when she realized how to fight Diamond. With her back legs, she kicked forcefully, cutting Diamond's sides. Bragging didn't seem to be really helpful in that situation, and it was something more special for villain Icee anyways so she turned that into confidence, pure and raw courage. She didn't think about how effective her attacks would be, she just did it. And it worked. 
If even Icee herself couldn't predict her own attacks, there was no way Diamond could predict them either and defend herself properly. About two minutes later, Diamond started copying Icee's technique, in an attempt to defend herself without any real consideration from where Icee would attack. All together it looked like a fight two 4-year olds would have. It was a but effective, but Icee was still winning that one, drawing blue blood each time she hit Diamond. When Diamond figured out she wouldn't win against Icee she backed away, panting and glaring at Icee with hatred. All though Icee's strategy was literally not controlling her actions, she made sure to stay serious, but there was something in her expression that was telling me that she is struggling to keep some sort of rage inside. Diamond opened her wings which remained unharmed in the fight and lifted her feet off the ground.
"Shame you said goodbye to your wings Icee, really is." She said and laughed viciously as she flew higher.
"And this is why I did it!" Icee yelled and ran foward. She leaped off the ground and in the right moment, opened her jaws to grab one of Diamond's wing. The darker dragon shrieked in pain as both of them came falling to the ground. Icee threw Diamond over on the other side of the clearing. Icee spit a large piece of what probably was the skin on Diamond's wing and only then I noticed that Icee actually cut through the thin flesh and bit it out. This left Diamond whimpering at the other side of the battlefield. Icee wasn't done yet however as she ran to where Diamond laid and pinned her on the ground, her teeth firm on her neck.
"Was one time not enough for you, was it?!" She growled. Confused, me and Hawkfrost shared surprised looks. He had no idea what Icee was talking either. I just assumed she meant if hosting one Labyrinth was enough for her and if she had to go on a killing spree. But who knew, maybe that wasn't it, maybe Icee still had more explaining to do.
"You've tortured me for months, and now that I finally have the ability to fight you myself you go on cowardly on me and try to run away?!" 
With little strength Diamond had left, she forcefully lifted her head up,throwing Icee off. 
"Oh but you make such a nice villain." She said, smirking once she made sure Icee was far enough. Icee stared at her in disgust as her claws trembled with anger. She let out a sigh and looked at Diamond seriously.
"Unlike you I know when to stop."
I had a slight idea what Icee might've been referring to, but it seemed a bit bizarre. I just hoped she'd have a chance to explain it to us after this was done.

As she said those words, Icee calmly stepped backwards and the new pair of heroes stepped into the spotlight, Mitch and Jerome. Diamond turned into a giant black bear, the size of Jerome. Her eyes however were similar to something we saw the night KillerCanadian passed on the prophecy to us however, blue and creepily cold. 
"What a nice couple of losers. The Canadian who spent months literally just pitying himself and the smartass who only wanted answers but lost half of his intelligence in the end." Diamond said. Jerome snarled loudly as she said that but Mitch simply frowned.
"I thought Icee taught you that not all imperfections are bad." Jerome said. Yeah he talked. I was surprised at how different, deeper his voice sounded. Kinda sexy in fact. 
"I suppose you wouldn't mind it if I tested you then?" Diamond challenged proudly. I saw Mitch's mouth move as he probably said something to Jerome I didn't hear. With a growl Jerome launched himself at Diamond. Diamond did the same and with a thud their skulls met. They both pushed hard in an attempt to overpower their enemy but were equally strong. In the end it was Mitch who pulled Jerome back by the bridles with which he controlled the giant creature. It didn't look like Diamond expected that as she fell face first on the ground so I assumed this was something she didn't give Mitch as a villain, a personality trait. 
Diamond soon got up and was ready to fight again. But it was obvious to all by now that she wasn't going to win as blood ran from beneath her black fur from previous battle. Diamond tried to attack Jerome and Mitch, snapping her fangs at them but always missed as Mitch made sure Jerome dodged all attacks. 
"Are you dodging me?!" Diamond growled before her jaws once again missed Jerome's fur and tasted thin air instead. Mitch didn't respond, his mind was focused on making sure his pal wouldn't get hurt. 
"Answer!" Diamond yelled before she raised up her paws to crush both of them. Jerome's eyes widened in surprise but like a ninja, Mitch prepared his sword (not the one Sorrows almost died protecting us from) and stabbed through Diamond's lower jaw. Blood poured out of it and in pain Diamond yelped as she fell back. It looked like she lost all strength because she didn't even have the power to keep her current form anymore. She turned back into the young girl she was before. Except now we could all really see just how much the heroes really beat her up, with sparkly blood running down her dark skin.
But at last, there was one last hero left who had not yet had the chance to take his anger out on Diamond, Ty.

The villain flew up, high in the sky so the dying moon threw his shadow on Diamond. All though she was defeated, Diamond still angrily looked up at Ty, hatred shinning in her eyes.
"You cunt, I'll make sure you'll suffer a lifetime." She said, colder than I've ever heard her. Ty simply shook his head. He opened his eyes and looked around. It seemed like he was looking at.... the stars?
"No, we'll make sure you never ever build another Labyrinth." After he said that, he flew down, gaining speed fast. In a second or two, he was down through the ground where his spear pierced through Diamond's heart. 
I wasn't just a normal 'stab-somebody' though. As the metal was sunk deep below her skin, beam after beam, bright white light erupted. Soon, I couldn't see what was in front of me anymore, only white light. In fear I looked at Hawkfrost on my right. I could still see him, and he could still see me but I knew it wouldn't be like that anymore soon. I reached out to him with my hand but in shock realized I couldn't see my fingers which were swallowed by the illuminating  brightness. In panic I started turning around but the picture was always the same. Except that there wasn't a picture. I panicked and panicked and thought what to do. 
What do I usually do when I'm in panic? I asked myself I relax.
And so, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

After a while, I opened them again. Not only because I thought it was about time but because I felt that I was lying sideways on soft grass. When I opened my eyes, I saw miles of empty plains in front of me. Well, almost empty. Every so often the dull landscape was decorated with a few trees surrounded with bushes. Like really small forests. The colors itself were very soft, pastel almost. The grass was minty green and the sky was lilac there, bright turquoise somewhere else. As I sat up, I looked around me and noticed a few things. First of all, there was one of these tiny forests behind me. My mind jumped to the conclusion that thus was Labyrinth right away.
"Pretty ironic right?" A male voice said. That led to the next thing I noticed "All these months we've been in this scary, endless forest it turns out to be this?" Tyler said, chuckling. It turned out all heroes were here. But not as the badasses who took down Diamond, they were those tiny angles, spirits that left the villains' bodies after we killed them. Talking about that, all survivors were here as well, all awake. 
"Are those Labyrinths as well?" I asked, looking at other small patches of growth.
"Were. They're dead now." Tyler explained. I turned around to look at him again.
"How do you know that?" I asked suspiciously.
"Well, when we were made villains we sorta just got all knowledge of how Diamond makes these things work in the first place." Tyler explained "It's weird but at the moment, pretty useful." 
That was a decent answer for my question so I looked around me. Most of my team was talking each to the villain/s they had to kill. It was a pretty nice and interesting sight. Only Olivia seemed to be curios about what soon got my attention as well.
The tiny forests weren't the only objects in this plain, flat, grassy world. In front of me were six.... portals? They all opened up in different locations I didn't recognise. But I could tell they were just normal places people probably go to daily as I saw what was probably a school, a park, normal house... But one portal stood out, opening to a dark forest  as the trees faded into the darkness. It didn't take me long to realize these were probably portals that would take us home as one of them showed a place I recognised. It was a parking lot, where my mom usually parked the car before we took our dog and went for a walk. Went for a walk in the same forest I entered Labyrinth. 
Going home now made sense and I guessed it was one one of the likely outcomes but it still left a lot of questions unanswered. Will we forget it all or remember this? I didn't want to forget it because all though this experience was horrible at some points, it was amazing at others. I didn't want to forget these wonderful people I've met. But then again, what if I did remember it all? Could I just live my life peacefully knowing there's such evil as Diamond hidden in this already cruel world? If I did remember, what would happen to me and Hawkfrost. I couldn't just take him with me probably, he played an important role in a big story. Another big question was, what about the heroes? They were pretty much dead, will they just come back to life and come with us? I hoped so, they all played a big role on my life, and many of them were important to other people as well. They couldn't just randomly vanish out of this world without any explanation.

It looked like one of the heroes noticed me, looking all concerned into the portals. 
"I hate to break this to you, but you'll all have to leave sooner or later." Skybrine spoke loud enough for everyone to hear him "A few last goodbyes and then you should all go back."
I heard Olivia walking to me so I turned around. She hugged me tightly and I felt sad when I realized she decided to be the first one to leave.
"It was great meeting you, even under such circumstances." She said and I chuckled.
"I'll sure miss being your fellow survivor as well." I said and sighed. I noticed Sorrows walking to us as well and then stopping beside me.
"I'll need your deviantart username so I can keep on annoying you online." Olivia said, smiling. We all laughed a bit before Sorrows answered.
"LostinSorrows, no spaces. I'll happily be waiting for your note."
Olivia gave a quick smile to the rest of the team and heroes before waving and finally stepping into her home. With a flash, the portal quickly closed and so she was gone. I felt an empty feeling in my stomach, sad that our paths have split.
"Will she even remember my username?" Sorrows asked, turning to face others while I just stared at where the portal to her home used to be.
"Sadly, not. It's better off that way." Mitch explained "Nobody should remember something as awful as Diamond's way of entertainment." 
"So she won't remember me after all." Sorrows said sadly. I could feel the emotion getting more and more gloomy and felt like it was my duty to fix that.
"Hey, I bet I'll eventually link her to your account, you'll become friends there as well in no time." I said happily again. I was glad when she smiled right away.
"I think I'm ready to leave as well." Ross said. I could tell by the tone in his voice he felt a bit embarrassed, speaking up. He probably had a small speech ready as he cleared his throat "If I could remember this than you bet I would walk out of here today a man."
It was one sentence, but a powerful one. And it was true. All though we always considered Ross being the useless one, the truth was he had to go through so much, killing his best friend. Truly, he was a a young boy but with a big heart full of courage. He then said goodbye to every member of our team and Ty before he left as well.

"Man all these goodbyes are making me emotional." I heard Supah mutter with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"Are you going to be the next one leaving our humble crew?" Hawkfrost who was sitting opposite him asked. Supah thought a bit and then replied with a yes. Just as everybody else, he also said his goodbye to us all. Surprisingly enough, he shared his longest goodbye with Hawkfrost. Ironic when you think they wanted to strangle each other to death, and not just once. Before he entered the portal he turned around to look at Icee.
"Aren't you coming?" He asked. I guessed that since they probably lived close enough to basically see each other daily, it would make sense if they shared a same portal. That also probably meant the heroes would come back to life or something. Or perhaps not?
"Ah yeah sure, I'll just say goodbye to the rest of the guys here, you go ahead." She said and quickly smiled. Supah shrugged and with an okay, casually left the field. The portal closed soon after he was on the other side.
"You're not coming with him are you?" I asked, looking at her and seeing that her fake smile was now gone.
"I can't Lara. Bringing somebody to life is not something we can do." She said sadly.
"But what does that mean then? Surely people will notice you all missing." Sorrows joined in.
"We'll be replaced. Someone with the same personality but different looks, name will be there to take our place." Icee explained "It'll be like we've never existed at all and nobody will remember us."
"Well that's really depressing." Hawkfrost said. 
"As sad at it is, it's probably the best solution." Icee said "Besides, I've seen this once before."
"You were in the Labyrinth before?" I asked surprised "Is that what you and Diamond were going on about?"
Icee nodded and sighed "Those survivors had no chance of making it out however, so it was a bit different back then. I was the first to be killed so I could only watch what was happening from my little star. It was only a coincidence that I was really killed though and it soon became obvious those survivors wouldn't make it out. I then witnessed Diamond killing them all. We villains however, got a second chance for doing a good job. I was the only dead villain and only six years old at the time so Diamond surprisingly, brought me back to life. But still, I've seen dead Labyrinth victims being replaced." 
I was quiet for a moment, unsure of what to say.
"So why didn't you tell Supah this then? I mean, if his memory is wiped and if it's going to be like you've never existed at all, then surely that won't affected him?"
"No, it won't. But he won't believe that. I had to lie, I can't let this dumb Labyrinth logic hurt him again." 
Once again, more silence. I felt really bad for Icee, nobody will suffer because of this as nobody will remember while only she will be forced to watch a fake version of herself take her role.
"Not all lies are bad I guess." Hawkfrost said. Yeah I agreed with that. I mean Hawkfrost himself was one sexy lie.
"I think I better get going as well." Sorrows said after a while. She looked into my eyes and smiled "You know, this whole thing was way better than a normal meetup." 
"Yeah, I agree." I said and laughed. She then hugged me tightly and I hugged her back even tighter. 
"I guess this isn't a real goodbye as I'll still be talking to you online."
"I know, but it still feels like I'll lose a part of you with forgetting this." I admitted.
She broke the hug and looked me into the eyes again. She looked pretty optimistic, she was always the one to hide any negative feelings behind happiness, if possible of course. 
"Losing a part of me is better than losing me entirely, am I right?" She said. I nodded, feeling slightly better.
After that, Sorrows shared a quick goodbye with Hawkfrost, Jerome and Mitch. As her portal closed, only two were left. I looked at Hawkfrost, knowing it was time to say goodbye to him as well. 

Hawkfrost stood up to walk to me. Many pairs of small heroes' eyes were watching us, waiting.
"May we have a minute alone please?" Hawkfrost asked, surprisingly more politely than he has ever spoken in these months. 
"Oh, of course." Sky said for all the heroes as they quickly flew away with their tiny wings. As soon as they left, Hawkfrost looked at me again. 
"So this is the end, isn't it?" He said and I could tell by the tone in his voice that he wasn't too happy over the fact this is where our paths would split.
"Yeah. This was one epic journey." I said and smiled.
"Sure was."
It felt a bit awkward. It was pretty ironic actually, we both had so much to say to each other we didn't know what was really important and what should be left out.
"You know, I'd like to thank you." He looked at me surprised, probably not expecting that "You taught me something, I sadly will not remember no matter how important it is. You taught me how to be brave. Not once have I doubted your courage, how you never backed from a challenge, no matter how terrifying it was. You always found a way to be the one everybody looks up to. Even when you doubted yourself, you hid that doubt behind courage so well."
As I was talking, a warm and a bit embarrassed smile spread across his face.
"You taught me something much more remarkable, the minute I met you. You taught me how to be kind, how you helped complete strangers. And how you kept your cool when somebody wasn't as good as the rest of us. You taught me that we sometimes have to take risk in trusting, how one should not judge before knowing the truth. If I remember this then you bet I will walk out of this a changed... cat." 
I awkwardly smiled all along, flattered and embarrassed at how somebody older than me saw me. It was just such a nice, warm feeling. I suddenly felt his palm on my left cheek. He was staring into my eyes, smiling. No words had to be said as he pulled me closer gently and our lips met. We broke the kiss, both smiling. However, that happiness was soon gone as Hawkfrost looked over his shoulder at his dark home.
"I wish I could stay with you forever." He said quietly.
"Me too..." I whispered, blocking tears from wetting my eyes.
But it had to be done, he had to leave, sadly. So he turned around and walked to his portal, taking quick steps just in case emotions might overcome him. He stopped before entering, but didn't look at me. In the cat world as well, looking at the person you were leaving made goodbyes harder as well so I didn't take it personally. As he stepped in, his human body soon turned into a much smaller, dark, long-haired tabby. He took a few steps, I just stood and waited for the portal to close and take me love away forever. But it didn't. Hawkfrost stopped and turned around. His icy blue eyes shone even brighter in the darkness. He smiled and I couldn't keep my tears in anymore. They became tears of joy. He will remember me. Of course, it made sense. After all, he was a fictional character. His story as already been written and his experiences will not affect the role he has to play.  Basically, remembering Labyrinth would not change his story or his fate. 
But that happiness was soon replaced with the empty feeling of knowing I will not remember him. 
I stood and watched as he sped up again and ran off. His tabby fur soon disappeared in the thick dark forest and the portal closed as well. I now stood alone, knowing that one portal was left, waiting for me.
"You should probably leave as well now." Sky said kindly as he flew up from the grass along with the rest of the heroes.
"I should, shouldn't I?" I muttered and looked at my feet which stood still on the ground.
"By the way, that kiss was really obvious." Icee said in a happily amused tone.
"You saw?!" 
"Relax, people kiss in public all the time." All though I was upset those sneaky fuckers watched what was suppose to be private moment, I was glad Icee was already feeling better. She sure knew how to let go better than me. With nothing left to do, I walked to the portal, seeing details from the place I knew grow clearer and clearer. I turned around and waved at the villains one more time before leaving them forever.

I found myself standing on the cemented road, looking at view in front of me. Paths, thin and wide but all long as they made their way through a field with trees decorating them. Further away, a river rustled through the grass. Alongside rocky and cemented paths, smaller buildings stood. I took my phone out, trying to remember why I didn't have my headphones in. I couldn't remember why, that must've been a really bad daydream then.
"Lara!" I heard my mom calling me and turned around. Our dog was already in the car, tongue sticking out her mouth as she carefully watched me to make sure I would come back to her. With gestures, my mom told me to quickly get in the car as we were going home. I did what I was told, sat on the car and strapped my sit belt. I plugged my headphones back in and put them in my ears, shuffling through songs in an attempt to find out which one I'm in mood to listen to. As it stopped on Labyrinth, I decided I felt like listening to epic electric guitar and the main singer's sexily evil voice. As we were driving, the music soon became just a background to my colourful thoughts and imagination. I tried to remember what that daydream was about, I often forgot daydreams in a few seconds but this was different. This one caused me to forget where I was, block out all sounds, it had to be important. But no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't remember it.

The end


CONGRAGULATIONS
You read Labyrinth : D
I would like to thank you for taking time out of your life to read it ^^
There is a thank you and goodbye A/N in the description, I'd be really happy if you'd take some time to read it as well c:
If not, you must listen to this song, no excuses [link]
Thank you and goodbye A/N

Well, after a year and two months, Labyrinth has come to an end.
I need to admit, writing and posting this chapter was really difficult for me.
I know I've said this a few times already, but receiving feedback for this story has always made me happy. To know I can create something I really enjoy and that you guys can enjoy as well, it's really nice. Each time I uploaded a new chapter, I looked forward to seeing your response, it's never failed to get me now (rossome jokes are an exception X3)
Even now, writing this A/N is difficult for me. I will keep on making Labyrinth art and short stories after this, but still, not the same.
Depressing sentence aside, as you deviantart readers have noticed, I enabled a critique option. Feel free to post a critique for the entire story, and possibly, please don't focus too much on my writing from 8 months ago ;3;
Anyways, any writing advice will most likely help me improve my writing in the future. Any plot advice will be used as I'm rewriting Labyrinth. I'm only a few chapters in but I've already made sure everybody will have a wide character development over the story and I'm overall expanding it. Small plot changes will probably be added, and I already have a long list of what I need to improve in my head, but I'd like to hear your opinion as well.
For you wattpad readers, you can either normally comment or if you want to, tell me what I could improve ^^
So that's all I have to say really, once again, thank you so very much for reading Labyrinth, it means the world to me <3
Now if you excuse me, I need to figure out what to do with my life now.

OK so first off let me get this out, NOOOOOO LABYRINTH IS OVER!!!!! CRY'S! Lara won't remember Hawkfrost but he will remember her that is really sad. . . Poor Icee, and Supah wont remember her that is very sad and Icee has to remember that.

OK to the critique.

First off this was an amassing story and I was able to picture a lot of it in my head. I could see tell what was going on and i love how much you described the setting it made me feel like I was a ghost spectating it in the story so the Vision was really great still would like more character development but still very clear.

The Idea of the book was amassing and was really awesome. You created the story so well you had a backs story to how Labyrinth exist and how things work in Labyrinth. Truly amassing on how you created the story. The Originality was pretty good.

It was great to see you as a writer grow though out writhing Labyrinth from the first chapter to now you have changed a lot in you writing Technique. You started not as good but now you are way better than before.

The Impact on me was great on me. My FEELS ARE BROKEN!! I cried, smiled, laughed, been scared, and have had a wonderful time reading the story. 5 stars for this has truly had and Impact on me.

And CONGRATULATIONS! For finishing Labyrinth. It was truly a great story and I had a wonderful time reading it. (this should be a movie) At first I did not know what it was and thought it was nothing but a boring story O WAS I WRONG SO VERY WRONG! Once I started reading it I was soon hooked and waited in suspense for the next one. Love the story and can wait for what is to come from you in the future. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=":D (Big Grin)"/>
