CM: 5.3 END

[link]<

I used to rule the world,
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?




Don't read til you've finished the comic!











I am uploading a day before deadline day for the whole Just in case thing, because you know, we could get attacked by demon spawn apocalypto cows tomorrow and the last part would never reach the internet! So just playing it safe to avoid the inevitable.

Now...

Firstly I'd like to say... I'm sorry ;n; *gives Saiph a thousand and one hugs*

Secondly, I hope to god I did not disappoint. This was my longest part, and it was incredibly challenging tying in as much as I could in a reasonable amount of time to conserve the little amount of sanity I had left. I hope the simplified version of it turned out alright and the ending made sense and gave justice to these two awesome characters.

Shink and Cerby are kicking my butt to high heaven though, and frankly I'd rather see myself finish second because they already deserve the first spot. But there is always hoping, I guess!

So I guess this is the part where I put down all of my feels into one large paragraph but I think I'll save the majority of it for a journal. So I'll just give the short version instead;

Shink and Cerb were by far the best choice to be in the finale, and it was useful to Marty's ending and him being the asshole he is. He doesn't deserve to have a happy ending. I'd like to personally thank Shink for the constant stream of motivation and encouragement, that is good sportsmanship. Without her and my friends I highly doubt I would have been able to pull off 300+ slides of story within 3 months next to home issues. So I appreciate it, a lot.

Anyways, I'd rather not ask for any critic on this part only because there is nothing else I need to do-or to put it better I cannot go back and edit-and there are a ton of errors I am aware of regarding arts, but there was no turning back if I wanted to get everything in plus some.

Well.... The curtain draws a final close for me. I am pretty sad to see it go ;n; My stomach is exploding with emotion.

Good luck with the judging, my opponents!

Thank you for making this flash possible!
