Description Alone in the darkness.

I am already dead. Faith in my life shattered, gone is my love for this unjust world in a bitter storm of sorrow. Now I can only pray to the gods that my death be quick and merciful.

Death is on its way; I can see Charon already, bony fingers entwined around his oar. Beckoning me, anxious for me to come. But he must wait for my physical body to die.

Oh cruel Fates! Though I am willing to die for the act that I have performed, why is Creon so blind to the truth? Or is he too rigid in his ways to admit to wrong? So many things to forgive, but can I? Is it in me to forgive Creon for his misjudging?

Yes, it is.

I forgive you, Creon.

And I must say goodbye. Goodbye to my family. Ismene… dear sister. Take care. Eurydice, stand tall and proud in my death. It was too late for me when Eteocles and Polynieces died. It was then that life fled me.

Haimon, dearest love. Know that I am always with you. Whenever the wind blows softly across your cheek… it will be me.

Death! Welcome me with open arms.
