This is because I couldn't really let it go. I bet you weren't expecting this, but it'll be my last little entry into the world of Etheiiria; so enjoy the prologue!

"Alos, come on! Let's go see Nathen and Natti!" Lilith called excitedly. "Okay, okay, wait up a bit will you Lilith? They live like, a few

feet from us..." Alos said with an exasperated sigh. When the group had returned to the island of the winged to say their final goodbyes to

the friends they had made, the King and Queen of the winged had offered them all the oportunity to live in a palace along side the royal

one. The friends eagerly accepted. It was the opportunity to remain friends forever!

"Mom! Dad! Alos and Lilith are comming! Can I go outside to see them?" A young girl with red-orange hair asked eagerly. "Of course

you can, Lea. But be mindful that you don't hurt them!" Natti called as the young girl ran out the door. "'be mindful that you don't hurt

them?' She's only four Natti! What harm could she possibly do to those two?" Nathen asked. The tailed woman sighed. "Honestly,

Nathen...sometimes I fear that you won't be protective enough of our daughter." Natti glanced at the man. Nathen frowned at her. "I

fought in a war! What more protection could she possibly need?" Nathen and Natti, who had been friends long before the war, had

settled down and had a child. They would often talk with many of the other palace residants, but they had their own priorities to worry

about now.

"Pella! Maronis! You're leaving again?" Eulara asked. "I still remain the advisor to the king and queen Eulara. I have to go and make sure

everything is going well on the island." Maronis said. "Just because we live under the rule of a different King and Queen now, doesn't

mean that I don't have to give our consent to mom and dad." Pella added. "Would you two love birds stop being so stiff?" Rex asked

playfully, walking into the room. Maronis gave him a furious look and Pella closed her eyes in annoyance. "Eulara 'n me can take care of

the place; we live in peaceful times now." He said. Maronis sighed. "Will you stop calling us lovebirds? We're nothing more than friends."

He said. "In any case, we're leaving so don't break anything." He told them. Pella and Maronis, along with their two siblings were all

living together in one room. The two often returned to the scaled island to report various happenings to the King and Queen. Although it

was quite apparent that Pella and Maronis were more than friends, the two had never said anything.

"Narina, where're you off too so early? You usually don't get up at this time." Lily called to her as she was about to open the door. "Oh,

Mother Lily...I was just going out to see what the others are doing nya." She said elusively. "You've been doing that a lot recently. I think

I know who you have your eye on young lady." Lily had a mischevious gleam in her eye. Narina turned red. "You haven't-" "Good

heavens I was going to leave that to you! The only person I've been discusing it with is Tarra. We both figured that one of these days you

were going to go ask him." The elderly woman laughed. "I guess since you've known there's no point in secrecy, huh nya? Nya. I was

planning on declaring to Alos today." She said. "Be sure to tell us how it goes!" Lily called. "Nya! Mother Lily!" Narina said flustered.

Narina, Lily and Tarra all lived together, relying on eachother to look after; especially Lily and Tarra as they were getting older in age than

most of the others.

"Flores...? Are you...alright?" Zaphair asked, walking in with a tray of food. "Bolman...he asked me...to bring you...this." She said,

setting the tray down. "Oh, thanks Zaphair. I'm fine." She said in a distracted tone. "You...are not okay. I can...feel it." The young vaikal

said, sitting down. "You would...care to talk...about it?" She asked. Flores sighed. "I'm sorry, Zaphair. I just can't help but wonder. If I

had never met Bolman...If I had remained with my kin in the fire world, oblivious to the war below...Would I have met Tobiasz? Could

we have maybe been...?" Flores chocked back a sob. Zaphair put a reasuring hand on her shoulder. "Flores...Not even Spyrit...can

answer that question." She said quietly. "You're right, of course. I must continue to live a happy life, for all of the friends I've made...and

all of the ones that I could have." Flores and Bolman adopted Zaphair as their own and continued to live the life of a content couple.

Spyrit chose to live with them as well...no longer under the spell of the fire emblem.

Throughout their lives, the group never forgot that they had been the ones to forever change the course of the future, and had protected

Etheiiria from the horrible fate that could have befallen it if the tailed had won the battle and obtained the fire emblem. What could have

happened if they had been to late to stop Ozurion from proceeding to sacrifice Lilith and Zaphair. When the war was over the King and

Queen of the scaled, knowing that if the fire emblem was left alone could cause more wars in the future, had it's powers extinguished with

the help of Spyrit and the stone it'self destroyed. And they all remembered two of their dear friends who had been killed in the process,

and wondered what they were doing now...

Thus ends the legend of the fire emblem...and the Etheiirian Islands...

I feel so...sad and nostalgic in a way. This is really the end. I have no words left to say...no chapters left to post. This is it. I'd like to thank all of my dedicated readers again and, of course, Kusabi Makabe for being the best friend and helping me finish this thing the entire way along. So...for the final time in this storyline, Ciao.
