1054

I admit, things have gone calm since we saved the world that
fated day. Everyone has since gone back to their respectful times,
going back to their place in the universe, and I am left to tinker
with my old inventions. I may not have admitted it at one point in
my life, but each of them held a special place in my heart. They all
represented a part of me that wished to come forth, yet I held back.

I, the lonely inventor, am left to myself, my parents long gone.
We are all much older now. Our time grows short on this mortal coil,
and I do wish to see my friends again. But, I know that would never
happen. Unbeknownst to anyone, even Crono, my lifelong friend, I
destroyed the Telepod, the machine that started our adventures. I
have also locked the Gate Key away, in a place that no one would ever
look. I promised myself I would never use it again.

But still, I grow weary of being alone. Sure, I see Crono and
Mar- Nadia (I must correct myself every day, she is not Marle, the
girl we saved in 600 AD, but Nadia, Queen of Guardia) almost everyday,
but it is not the same. I yearn for someone to be close to me, to
hold me in their arms and never, ever let go. So late in my life, I
know for certain that will never happen.

Starting the home earlier in my life was one of the best things
I have ever done. The children are well, as always. They grow up
before my very eyes. I see the future in them. They will grow up,
and they will see that their dreams come true, their goals
accomplished.

For me, I have seen my dreams come true - to live my life to the
fullest - and my goals accomplished - to invent something that would
change the world. That Telepod I created all those years ago changed
the course of history, as I know it. No longer will it say that the
past and the future will remain unchanged. I - we - changed it.
Lavos will not come forth and destroy the world in 1999 AD. The
world will go untainted by Lavos' evil.

And, until I die, I will continue to fight to protect it.
