Epilogue

I open my eyes and find an empty bed. Getting up, I change my clothes, and move to the room next door. Empty. Sighing, I go into the palace gardens and find what I was looking for. Katniss sits in the grass and rocks our daughter, quietly, she sings a lullaby in Atlantean about a meadow. A safe place where daisies guard you from every harm. A place we made real here in Atlantis.

We finished rebuilding the city years ago, and I've taught most of our people to read Atlantean. The people of Atlantis are thriving once again. Who knew all they needed to do so was an expert in gibberish? Katniss has been an amazing Queen. She always thinks for the good of her people, and has transformed Atlantis into the empire it once was.

Our daughter will rule over Atlantis someday. We are doing our best to raise her to be a kind ruler who thinks of her people first. Like Katniss' father raised her. Someday she will have to make her own decisions about the future of this empire, but that's a long time away. I don't know what the future will hold, perhaps someday we will use the power of the crystal to rejoin the rest of the world, but for now, we are content being Atlantis; the lost empire.

So this is the end! I hope you guys have enjoyed this story! Thank you guys so much for reading this story, especially those of you who reviewed. Reviews make my day. Also, this summer I will be posting another Hunger Games fanfiction based off of a Disney series. So if you're at all interested in that, look out for it, it will be posted here toward the end of May.
