His story was drawing to a close.

Well, he supposed it was bound to happen. After all, stories end sooner or later, right?

Perhaps they will speak of it still, long after he has gone. They'll clamor for the tale of the Flurry of the Dancing Flames, and a wave of silence will sweep across the crowd as they listen, enthralled by the many feats of the daring hero. They'll speak fondly of his heroic credentials and his noble acts for what he believed was right in spite of others. Breaths will be held as they sing of the Last Dance of the Flames. How their very hearts will wrench and tears will fall as they reminisce in the gallant hero's final sacrifice of himself for a friend! Alas, the touching account of the hero as he lay fading away, looking up into the sky with a smile and... and...

What a lousy ending, he thought to himself. No, he was never really much of a teller of tales. He'd leave that to the rest of them. As for now, his tale has been told. What happens after the end though? Would he fade into the background? To nothing? He smiled slightly at that thought; he'd just have to find out for himself.

He hoped there will be an epilogue...

I really like how you tied in Axel's story to the idea of a tale told to entertain others. I can really picture him thinking something like this. Awesome job! :)
