Alecia walked up to a tired-looking Maria.
"Do you think I will make a good Auntie Ally?" she asked.

Professor Adrian Pond became the First Ambassador to Midguard, and helped teach the residents about Midguardian culture.
Jackie and Alecia lived like princesses in the castle, becoming leaders of helping the poor and needy.
Thor became a proud uncle of the twin boys, and learned to heal the bonds between him and his brother.
Idunna took over the role that the Allfather had left behind.
Damian and his family settled down in Midguard, becoming a successful playwright in New York City.
Maria was eventually coronated as the queen, and Loki as king. The Golden Age indeed did arrive, along with an era of forgiveness.
As for me, I stayed in prison, writing down the truths as tribute to the one who forgave me, although I did things that many see an unforgivable. I hope that by reading this story, some will learn to forgive in their own lives, as Maria did to me during her coronation speech when she said "Some of us are trapped in our own glass box, simply by not forgiving ourselves and others."
