Summary: Key-girl, queen of the world.
*
Dawn knew she was queen, she could feel it in her bones. She was better than them. Superior. She had a purpose and all they had were meaningless, pointless lives that they fought so hard for.
Even Buffy. Her purpose was replaceable. One Slayer dies, the next one's called and it's all over for her. Buffy was one of the lucky ones that had tears shed for her each time she died. Most Slayers weren't that lucky.
When Dawn died, the world would bow and weep for it's queen was dead. She was the Key to its survival, unbeknownst to the mindless drones that surrounded her. Thinking she was only a Key to that one portal.
How wrong they were. She was so much more than that. So much more.
When they died, people would mourn and get over it. But the world wouldn't care.
When Anya died, it would be quick. A slice of the knife through the back and she'd slide away from the world like butter. She lived her life as a demon and as a mortal and her time was growing short.
Willow's death would probably be at her own hands because of the magick. She should have never come back, she should have stayed in England. But no one listened to the queen in this day and age. Mockery and laughable attempts at showing that they were better than her. That's all the queen got now.
Angel and Spike would probably die in the most pathetic of ways, just to match their pathetic cause. No matter how much they tried to redeem themselves, it would never bring them anything. Hundreds of years of carnage and tainted love can't be erased, even if you save the world a thousand times and a thousand times again.
Save the world, life goes on, but the world doesn't thank you. Otherwise Slayers wouldn't suffer and innocents wouldn't die.
Another apocalypse averted does nothing to your track record. When the apocalypse comes, the earth will survive. It may be close and the people will die.
But the earth and it's queen will live. Together.
Forever and amen.
