Letting-go - [The death of the Professor of Darkness]

"Don't! I'll give you anything!"

Twig shock his head and the Professor was pushed aside as Sanctaphrax's anchor chain was broken.

Desperately he grabbed the broken chain and found himself wrenched off the ground.

"Let go!" Twig shouted.

But he wouldn't. Sanctaphrax was his life. It didn't matter that he couldn't hold on much longer or how far away the ground was getting.

As he floated off into open sky on the chain of his beloved Sanctaphrax he realised that soon he'd be joining his old friend and colleague, the Professor of Light. Suddenly letting-go didn't seem nearly so hard.
