EPILOGUE

[faentasy]

Epilogue

After all is said and done, in the wake of the void and sprinting through one final door.

You come out into light. Sunlight actually, a backyard in what appears to be a typical suburban town, if you're familiar with those. The sun shines cheerfully overheard, blissfully unaware of what everyone has went through. And this is everyone, as faces you haven't seen in weeks tumble out in one pile from a basement door.

Happy Saturday, everyone.

There's plenty of reunions and catching up to do, but you've utterly left Aira Niluc behind you after seven long weeks. And through the window of the house which looks like it has seen a better seen better days is one wall mural that reads "And they all lived Happily Ever After".

[[ Happy Golden End everyone, you've earned it! There's still the matter of sorting out where to next, but everyone is whole and alive and without button eyes. Using the knowledge from the object Phil had and the beldam's magic, they can also now world hop only one side effect...the portal that opens to everyone else's worlds here? Is made entirely of pixie dust. Everyone's powers will also restore fully over the course of the next few hours. ]]

[ He'll do his best, that's for sure. ]

I might have to be a bit firm, cause old men can be stubborn. [ He says it airily, but there's a firm air about it all the same. ]

[sempiternel]

I believe in you.

[ And it has to count for something that Jack didn’t leave immediately; she likes to think it was something in Hamelin that did it, inspired some kind of loyalty, vague as it is. Blurred like everything that makes up Jack. ]

Your heart is certainly stubborn enough.

[begrimed]

Love, you might be the only one who does, but it's more than enough.

[ It's from the heart truly, the colors on his cheeks the slightest tint of a blush. ]

[sempiternel]

Mm, it’s an investment? [ A love investment? ] And - because you granted my wish.

[begrimed]

[ A light chuckle. ]

Ahh, but I'm really not a genie after all...but my love knows best? [ If he's somewhat bewildered it's entirely because he doesn't know how to deal with all this positive attention still. ]

[sempiternel]

I do know, but if you don’t, I’ll simply spend the rest of forever to show you. You granted my wishes all the time in that little office, Hamelin. All these little things add up to so much happiness - I feel as though I’m cheating in a way.

[ This is... a lot of happiness she’s not used to feeling. A lot of affection for multiple people rather than just one or two - and so much love for him, she feels it constantly. He was right earlier: this chance they’ve been given is precious, wondrous - but confusing. ]

May we replicate it for our new home?
