Once upon a time,it was a very dark,gloomy night in the castle,Conix,sitting in the throne,grieving his friends death.
"Only if I was able to save them. I won,but at what cost?" He murmured "My friends,my allies.They may be watching me from above,but I just want a chance to be with them..."
His mind slowly getting corrupted,if only he could find a way to finally be one with them again.And so,he started thinking for a way to do so.
"Maybe,I could do uh-no..How about tomorrow.."
He was simply too tired to deal with those things.
Maybe,It will recover soon?
The sun rises,it's the morning. Cubes are chattering and having fun together,enjoying the time of their lives.
Conix then went to the cemetery.The place where dashers has been buried. He saw his friends names,bringing flowers and memorials.
"For you,Trick,Cursed,Denni,Diamond and Doggie..."
His mind could only think of the anger,the hatred that has been caused because of Glungus. His most precious memories,destroyed,because of that single day.
"I'm gonna miss you guys until the end.."
He mumbled,hoping that there is an escape to this nightmare.
To take a break,he went to the usual store like he used to,
Where he buys his usual foods and such.
"Hey Conix."
Zoink,working as the cashier greeted Conix.
...However he didn't answer
Zoink was confused,usually he would response,but this time? It's better to leave him alone...
Conix looks at the cereals and theres the Glungus one.
That brought him even more worse memories.He didn't want to deal with this,so he tried to just ignore it,but it just kept getting worse. The urges,the voices,everything...
"Hey Conix,You doing alright? What happened?"
"No-Nothing! Just leave me alone Zoink!"
He tried to push away Zoink,just hoping that what he's thinking of does not bother Zoink.
"Sorry,I just need some thinking space Zoink,please.."
"Alright Conix,see you soon."
He sprinted to the castle he belonged to,holding back tears. Everything feels super bitter to him.
"Why?! Is it all my fault..?"
He thought to himself,only wanting to be free.
His mind kept getting worse,each days the thoughts slowly destroying him. Until one faithful day,he had enough.
He wrote a long letter to Zoink,thanking him for everything.
Conix tried his best to make it the best for him.
He then went to a lonely place,no one could see him. Holding a spike,tears ran down his body.
"I'll love you forever,Dashlands. One day,someone will continue my legacy. And for you too TCD."
He stabbed himself with it. Repeatedly,until he was dead.
He saw a light,and the voices of his friends.
"Conix,you didn't have to do this. But now,you're with us."
That glowing golden light,that was his friends. They all guided him to defeat Glungus,and saw him do it.
One the other side,Zoink saw the note that Conix made,it made his tears drip onto that same paper.
"Wh-No..! C-Conix.." He was the one who awarded Conix,the one who encouraged him. But it all ends with that.
What would Dashers think of this?
Back to Conix,his cube now shattered to fragments.Broken.
His crown still glistening in the sun. As days and weeks passed,people forgot him time by time but still has a legacy that Dashers remember.
That was what he needed.Peace and calmness,to be with his friends. He finally got what he wanted.And now in the afterlife with his mates.
The End.
