Days, weeks. It felt that way but it was really only a few hours after the sun started to rise. My friends found me over a newly built tomb that I decided to make. It took me a few times to get it just right but I want this to be the best tomb to pay my respects to the woman that made all this happen. To make me happy after so long, only to have it dash away like nothing ever happened. THe only thing I could do was stare. And hope that everything was going to be alright but then again, this is the same person that never believed in anything but alchemy.

Revelations

End of the Road

All my friends sat down behind me as I continued to stare at the tomb of Queen Trixie, made out of the mixture of marble and a bit of everything else to give it that fine glow. It was big enough that it would just fit her but small enough that it didn't take much space. With the materials I put into the tomb itself, not even the most powerful nuclear bomb could destroy it. It was perfect that I knew she was going to be safe. Maybe, just maybe.

I knew that in my heart that my friends needed to depart. One by one, they would lay down a red rose and turn to me as I continue to sit there and not even look up. Eddie was the first one.

"Bro, I'm sorry for what happened to you man. Something like that shouldn't happen to anyone. I think it's best that we all went our different roads and try to rebuild our lives actually. I don't know what might but we must try to stay in contact so that we can be able to support each other." He said as Twinks could only lay down a rose and walk back.

"Antonio, you must be so strong in this time of that you really need us the most. All I can say is that as the last remaining Mask, I will forever protect everything that your father laid in front of all of us." Jenna said as Justin didn't say anything at all. Nothing could be said to make me feel any better. Just then, a flash of light appeared and Christopher stood before us with a smile on his face.

"Everyone, in this time of darkness, we have done something that none of the Gods were able to do since the beginning of time. That is to stop Salvatore Dax once and for all. He is now gone from this world and now we can be able to rebuild everything that we once had. However, Antonio, you lost something so near and dear to you that the Gods have decided to give you one last gift." He said as he opened his hands and saw that he had a pair of new goggles just for me. But these were different, it was half white and half black, to signify that it was both good and evil. I grabbed the pair and put them on my eyes but I felt so much pain that I fell to the ground.

I opened my eyes and felt my arms shake as I saw the tattoo that Kerri left me. From now until I die, two red roses covered my shoulders and down across my arm, the vines matched my veins in my heart. I finally stood up and continued to stare at the tomb and finally, I broke my silence.

"To all of you, I can't really thank you enough for everything. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have defeated Salvatore. At the horrible price of losing the one girl I really love, I had to stop the man that was trying to take over the world forever and leave this world in everlasting darkness. To all of you, thank you again for everything." I finally said as we all smiled for the first time in hours. I hugged them all and saw them walk towards the road beyond the cemetery and walk into different directions until I couldn't see them anymore.

"You know man, this has been a crazy ride. I just hope Metal, that everything will be fine and I can finally protect this world like I was suppose to." Chris said as he disappeared. After a few moments, I walked away and came back days later and placed my father in the same tomb as Trixie and I sealed the door behind me. I cut my hand and swiped it across the door, locking it forever until I did it again. No one can get in or out without me as the key. I felt another person was staring at me and saw that Kit was there looking on.

"Kit, I haven't seen you since what happened. I'm only going to say this once and only once. You did nothing but cause me pain but I can sense that within your heart, you changed just enough that I don't have to kill you for what happened." I said as she looked on. I can see that she doesn't want to speak and there were no words that could be said really. After everything that happened, how could you speak about what happened. She dropped a rose on the ground and disappeared into the ground. I continued to stare as I turned back and laid down a pair of roses on the tomb as I looked at it for the last time.

"Kerri, father. I'm sorry that I failed to protect both of you. You two have helped me since the beginning and your both gone, looking down at me. I hope that nothing else happens as I might find a way to bring you both back. Alchemy is still young for our time and it might take me years to master everything but I have a feelings that everything is going to work out. Dad, I love you with all my heart and I hope that you will protect me and show me the ways of alchemy.

"And to you my love, the girl that I have always cared for, it took me until now to realize that I'm now going to have to continue my life without you. I now know that things are going to be hard for me but I know that your arms will always be around me, to help guide me in my time of need. I love you mi vida, may we cross roads again."

As I walked away, I can sense that all my friends were doing something. Could be because of my new goggles but I just saw what they were doing now that the war was over at last.

Eddie, given his past with the army, returned to his old post and lives a happy life out somewhere in Europe, rebuilding the cities that were destroyed by Dax's men. He knew that it was going to take time but I do know is that he is happy that all he can do was watch something on the television set from time to time. He told me in a letter that it was a show about kids and trolls. Never really understood what that was all about.

Justin, a former pilot, has decided to rebuild much of not only the airforce but all the airports as well. Given his skills behind the wheel, he now flies the great plane in the sky, only known as Sky City, a new place in the clouds and he pilots the city to travel around the world, giving people a ride to different places. He is certainly happy with his life, given that he has half a body of a human. Still, he loves where he is and that's all he wants.

Our resident medic and the last of the Mask's, Jenna went back to Japan to help rebuild. She also took the time to take Ghost and Tasha there and give them a proper burial near Tokyo. I need to go there one of these days so that I can finally pay my true respects to the friends that helped me on my journey. Jenna is also traveling to Europe every week to help with the healing. She still has a lot of power not used and over time, I feel that she will be doing a great job.

Twinks, on the other hand, was last seen in Mexico and no one really knows where she is. I heard from Eddie that she sends a letter now and then, telling him about all the wonders she has found. She has since found a lover of her own and they both travel Mexico and parts of Brazil, just trying to find the next best thing to do. She must be happy, knowing that Eddie is getting twice as many empty vodka bottles as before.

And now for me, as I walk away from the cemetery, I glance back and sadly smile. I always had a dream to start a family with her and I never got the chance to tell her how I felt. My gloves, still stained with a mixture of her blood and my own, would glow every now and then. I realized that everything I had to endure these last few years were just the beginning. But now, I promised to return once a month and talk with her and make sure everything was alright. Could take ten or twenty years to be able to find anything to give her life again.

With one last sigh, I closed the gate and walked back to my former home, looking one last time with tears in my eyes as I slowly read the letters on the tomb.
