From where I stood next to Freya in front of Obernewtyn's inhabitants, I could see that this was the happiest day in her life. Glancing across at Ceirwan and Rushton, I could also see the joyful expression on Ceirwan's face. Everyone present knew that both the new-weds were gaining the dearest wish of their hearts as they stood together on the front steps of our home. Everywhere everyone was celebrating with the food Javo had prepared long before.
When Freya and Ceirwan had announced their engagement, no one could believe it. They had kept their romance so secret that the up-coming wedding was more of a pleasant surprise than an expected outcome. Of course, I had told Rushton what I suspected was between them, and together we had watched them carefully. There was no doubt in our minds that they were perfect for each other.
A bit like Rushton and myself in a way.
Since Rushton's complete recovery the year before, I felt like my life was as complete as it could have been. We had been bonded together last year and never regretted it since.
I was so happy with my life, I sometimes forgot about my dark journey – the before-time machine and Ariel who was the Destroyer. Everything seemed so good, and I know that it soon come to an end. My only regret will be leaving everyone behind when I have to lead to begin this journey.
But for now I could enjoy Ceirwan and Freya's bonding with my beloved. How far we have all come! All of us have changed dramatically over the time already past.
Streamers hung from all the walls and the food was displayed on long tables which were placed on one of the sides of the room. As usual, Javo's food was as excellent as could be expected. Everyday he was inventing more recipes effective for both travel and taste. All of the Misfits present were dancing in the centre of the room to Miky and Angina's beautiful empathy music. The twins seem to grow more each day before my eyes. Both of them are taller and more graceful than ever. It seems that their own music has transformed them completely. Both are a work of art.
And Rushton. Oh, he is so dear to me. When we were hiding away from each other it felt like he had taken my soul. I am so glad that we made it up. If we hadn't, I wouldn't be sitting here with his arm around my waist. He helps to keep me strong in my darkest moments. I honestly don't know what I would without him by my side.
Since everything is perfect I will just have to wait for the darkness. I know now that all of the choices I make aren't deciding my future for me. My answers are already known. That is why the carving that was discovered by the Techno-guild had me carved into it.
I think that what I'm really trying to say is this – the decisions of our choices are already known and that is how the future is created. We can always think that we don't play a part in anything, but we are only as good as our choices sculpt us.
