As we continued walking, we finally reached a new place; The Crossroads. This place gave off a strange aura, but it looked like something important. Again, they were railroad tracks this time intersecting at one point to make an X. On that X, there was a sign that read 'Cross Roads, Choose your Destiny.' First fate, now destiny? Huh. No matter. I'll just pick a path and go down it.

I looked down the first path and an image appeared before us. I guess it was showing what that path held in store for me. This path showed me a life without Lolita. It was a miserable life of aloneness and regret, losing the one person. I could truly lo--

I looked down the second path. This was a path of me never finding my way out of here, wandering my innermost self for eternity, never learning of how to better myself.

I looked down the third. In this one, I got out of myself, learning all I needed to and staying with Lolita... but it was cut off right there and I could not see the end.

The final path was a path of incompletion. I get out with Lolita, but something about me cannot seem to keep her heart with mine... Something incomplete about myself, about my life. There behind me was the demon. It was forcing Lolita away and changing me into a hideous creature... But then it was cut off.

Four paths that I knew what would happen if I traveled down them. I could only go down one. The third one seemed to be the best, but that one had a cut off ending... Usually that meant something bad.

We stood before the sign, looking up at the words. 'Choose Your Destiny' again... It almost seemed like it was forcing us down a path itself. There was no way I could choose, I was a naturally indecisive person. "I... I can't choose..."

The sign slowly and gradually became darker and darker, the words 'Then you shall face this one...' appeared on it before it was completely black. In the distance, there was a huge, black sunrise on the horizon. It was beautiful... However, it was not a sunrise at all. It was a black explosion that was consuming the land.

I sighed, turned and grasped Lolita. "This might be the end of us, so I thought this should happen now..."

Before I could finish, we were devoured by the explosion.
