EPILOGUE
Maribelle stared at Lissa's son, Owain, who was vigorously thumping the backs of his cousins, Lucina and Inigo. These kids from the future were beyond belief…and all a little strange. Owain was the newest and most colorful character yet and Maribelle could easily see her best friend's influence in his personality. The boy had inherited Robin's bright white hair but Lissa's flair for the dramatic.
Beside her, Donnel tucked an arm around her waist. "Y'think we have a kid in the future? We're married 'n all."
Maribelle blushed. "I-I see no reason why not."
"What d'you think they're like?"
"Well, they have excellent breeding and tutelage so they'll have impeccable manners and be very accomplished, of course." Maribelle asserted confidently. "I have no doubt he or she will be intelligent. Probably very strong, too, like their father. Oh, dispense with that bovine expression!"
Donnel was grinning in a dopey, happy way. "Aw, it don't matter. We'll love 'em anyhow they turn out."
"Naturally. I have one rule, however."
"What's that, darlin'?"
"Under no circumstances will our child adopt your boorish manner of speech! The grammar lessons will start early! The words 'ma', 'pa', 'ain't', and 'y'all' are expressly forbidden!"
Donnel shook his head, laughing. "Whatever you say."
oOoOoOo
On the outskirts of a village, a tall, lanky boy with plum hair and a scar over his eye rushed towards Maribelle with his arms outstretched. "MAW!" He greeted her.
Maribelle flinched. "Oh, for Naga's sake…"
THE ACTUAL END
Donnel slunk away and hid in the weapons shed as soon as he heard his son's speech.
This is the actual end, so thank you all again for reading! I'd love it if you'd leave me a review and let me know how you enjoyed it!
I hope to see you all again in future works~
