Maverick Tends to Arrive on Halloween

I don't own anything but my OC's.

Epilogue

You open your eyes, blinking several times to try and focus them. When you manage to refocus your eyes, you realize you're back in the middle of the trees with the symbols on them. You look around, then hear the voice again.

And finally, everything worked out just fine,

Cobweb had been saved, they got there in time,

But, after that night, things were never the same,

Skeleton Jack now knew Maverick's name.

And though that one Halloween, things got out of hand,

Jack's still rather fond of that ghostly man,

So, many years later, while sitting around,

With Maverick nearby, sitting on the ground,

With his second son and granddaughter at hand,

And Cobweb and Edwin playing strange tunes in their strange band,

And Jack asked ol' Maverick,

"Do you remember the night,

When the sky was so dark,

And the moon shone so bright?

When hundreds of citizens

Celebrated their holiday,

While you were in your crypt,

Trying to figure out how you got to this place?

And would, if you could,

Turn that ol' clock back a tick,

To that long, fateful night,

Now, think carefully, Maverick,

Would you do the whole thing, all over again,
Knowing what you know now, knowing what you knew then?"
And he smiled, like the ol' ghostly sorcerer that he knew,
Then turned and asked softly of him, "Wouldn't you?"

You smile, knowing that this is what Maverick would do. The voice seems more familiar every time you hear it, but you're not sure.

You turn, then look over your shoulder; waiting to see if the voice has anything more to say. But it doesn't; it stays silent. You turn and walk away.

Suddenly, you open your eyes and you are in your home. You turn and there is a note attached to the wall:

See you next time.
