The messengers

They exude the brilliance of the bat, then the Guardian Spirits

The electronic neural extension was a marvel to behold. The messengers, they exuded the brilliance of the bat. Then the Guardian Spirits. They shone like suns, filling the room with their light.

But something was wrong.

The messengers were blinking.

The Guardian Spirits were flickering.

It was as if they were alive, but only in a very, very strange way.

The electronic neural extension continued to glow, but its brilliance was fading.

And then, suddenly, it was gone.

The room was dark once again.

The lights in the room had been the Guardian Spirits, but now they were gone.

No one knows what happened to them.

Maybe they are still out there, glowing in the dark, but no one can see them.

Maybe they are gone forever.

A very, very disturbing ending.
