Epilogue

Soul Mates

~.~.~

Four months.

It has been four months sense the battle with Deep Blue.

I'm all alone in this room at the temple right now but I can not help but smile as I stood there with my arms resting on the windowsill. My snow-kissed hair is down and gently curled and a single crown of freshly picked fire lillies graces my head. Today is my birthday, my sweet sixteen and boy was it ever sweet and not some rhyme! I'm getting married today. And the fall weather here on Cyncia is amazing to behold and-dare I say it-more beautiful then back on earth. I've never been so happy in my life, and even my scars to my heart and soul from my past before meeting Cadell are healing slowly but surely.

Currently I am now in this simple, yet, beautifully long Greek style wedding gown that the other older Mews pitched in to make for me. Apparently though it was a huge tradition for a Cyniclian bride to wear one of the colors of Deep Ember and have the crown of fire lillies in her hair; Deep Ember's colors being colors of fire, sky, and the earth. Mint, Zakuro, and mom picked a deep golden yellow color for it. My neck is also graced by a gold chain necklace that had lots of these little tear shaped yellow topaz crystals while on my ears are these cute little moonstone earrings shaped like a stalking cat. Both my wrists have these strings of blue crystal for bracelots and on my feet I'm wearing white Cyniclian sandals.

I soon hear the door knock, "Come in."

It was my dad who was dressed up in fancy Cyncilon Tribe attire just like back at both parties.

"You ready, Ki?"asked Kisshu with a sly grin and a loving gleam in his gold-amber eyes.

I slowly turn around to face my dad with a confidant grin and happily took his hand, "Yes."

And with that I let my father lead me away to where everybody was waiting.

As we move through the hall I can't help but think about the others for now to settle my nerves and down towards Cadell. Pai has gone to teach Anna to be a healer and from what I heard she is having a rough time of it. But she is a tough girl I know she'll pull through it in one piece. Crazy lemur-girl; she's as stubborn as her father was! And I hear Lettuce has gone on to be a doctor for teens.

Then there was Zakuro, Rose, Mint, and Nami.

Boy, was Cadell, Rose, and I ever surprise to see them alive and kicking to tell you the truth but Rose had tackled poor Zakuro down and that sure as anything caused a terrible mess in the storage docks of the ship on our way back. Those two were sneezing for weeks after falling into some spices. Zakuro got used to having her wolf ears and tail permant aand adjusted just as fast once on Cyncia but Rose took to it no sweat. In fact she has a her own house over at the beach off the lake here.

Mint on the other hand took a little longer to adjust to this huge change and finds her now large wings annoying some times. Can't say I blame her for that problem sense she has to work hard to keep them clean. That, and she lost a few feathers now and again by getting them stuck on or between something some how. And it is also the fact she isn't rich anymore that took her so long to adjust. Her daughter, Nami on the other hand adusted faster and quickly started making friends...heck she's even dating now!

Then there was Taruto, Pudding, and Aura.

Taruto and Pudding got engaged not that long ago which is really exciting and...ABOUT TIME! Yeash, those two took forever to finally figure it out in fact. Aura on the other hand is excited to have a family again and is her still hyperactive self while balancing school and continuing to help Ryou out at the cafe with some others.

Then there was my mom and dad.

Dad and mom are expecting another child...which makes me a big sister and I find that exciting to a degree. But they said this one they'll just home school sense they don't want a repeat of negative history. Grandma's retired from leading the tribe and offered the role to dad, who refused and well, now that role is mine and sense being here I've pretty much stopped speaking in the Japanese way and gone straight to my tribe's way.

But anyways, what's going on now...

I smile lovingly at Cadell who delivers one right back. Cadell was dressed completely in white and looked like one of those knights during a wedding. His hair was done up in a single white band in a ponytail style and his ears had twin gold spiral loops on each lobe. The ceremonal words rang through the air and Cadell and I do our I do's. Cadell got a simple spiral silver ring that I had picked out myself and I placed it on his ring finger. Cadell then took the silver ring with the little heart shaped blue crystal.

"With the approval of Deep Ember I name you Emporer Cadell Haven and Empress Kishi Haven. You may now kiss the bride."

With out a second thought I wrapped my arms around Cadell's neck and he pulls me close holding my waist as he kissed passionately and deeply, causing everybody to cheer.

And for the first time I feel true peace and happiness.

Cadell and me, soul mates by fate.

And you know what?

"I'd never trade this for the world."I whispered to Cadell once we pulled appart.

Cadell chuckled as he scooped his wife off her feet and gave a foxish grin, "Neither would I my lil' angel, Niether would I."

The End
