Epilogue


Today was the 23rd of April…a special day for one teenage boy. Today would mark end of his sixteenth year and the beginning of his seventeenth on the Planet. Solas grunted softly as he sat on the edge of his windowsill. He could hear the rain, but darkness covered his world forever. It didn't matter if he could see it or not, the sound of the water droplets against trailing down the glass always managed to calm him down for some odd reason.

Sometimes he wondered how'd he managed to keep this hidden from his friends and family for the past year? The important thing to him now was, how long would he be able to keep it up?

His mother had enough to worry about. His father's and Genesis' whereabouts were still unknown. Shelke and Reeve from the WRO still wouldn't stop asking him questions, expecting him to answer when he had nothing to give them.

Crrreeeeekkkk…

Solas turned to the doorway, and sensed his mother walking over towards the windowsill. She sat down beside him, like she did ten years ago. Only this time it was far different.

"How long are you going to stay in here?" She asked him. "Everybody's waiting for you downstairs." She told him. Solas turned to her, and replied, "I'll be down in a minute…I just want sometime alone right now."

Tifa nodded and stood up. She stopped in the doorway, and turned around to face him. "Solas, I know you want to find him, and I know you might be the only one who can…" She paused, trying to muster the courage she had to say the words.

"Go." She replied. "Take as long as you need, but come back to us when you feel the need to." She told him.

Solas felt his own eyes widen as he turned towards the doorway. He got up, and slowly walked over to the doorway. Tifa smiled as he wrapped his arms around her. "We'll be back, I promise…" He vowed.

Tifa wrapped her arms around his neck. Soon she started to feel him pull away, and she didn't hold him back. No, she let him go. Solas opened his window, and looked down. He listened to see how long did it take for the water to splatter. Once he confirmed that it was only a short distance he jumped down, and summersault so his legs and head wouldn't damage on impact.

Tifa walked over and closed the windows, before closing her eyes. Although she felt a little sad that her son had left her once again, she was very proud of him too. Despite everything that happened to them in the past. Solas was still her son and her light and that will never change.

'Being your mother was the greatest give I had from you.' She thought, and deep down she knew…those words were true.


[Author's note]

Well here it is folks, the (extremely short) final part to the story! ('=_=)

I hoped you enjoyed reading 'From You', and to my reviewers: Thank you taking your time to give your critiques and comments on the story! I truly appreciate it, you guys are the best ;)

Now if the birthday thing confuses some people, then allow me to explain. I do believe that a birthday is a celebration to an anniversary of someone's life, therefore today Solas is celebrate end of his sixteenth anniversary (meaning he just turned sixteen, about to turn seventeen) and the beginning of his seventeenth.

Now for a heads up,

I've decided to write the prequel first and then work the sequel. The reason behind this is, to allow people to understand how Cloud and Tifa came to be at that point, as well as give more input on Solas' character. Now I'll try and get the prequel up and running as soon as I can. (No promises though)

Once again, I hope you've enjoyed the fanfic and I hope to see you all again soon!
