Wow.

It's the end of this.

I loved it, I hope you all did too!

I still have a sequal in mind, but I don't know whether I should post it or not. *shrugs*

I just don't know if anyone would be interested.

:P

To tell you the truth, I couldn't have asked for a better death. I gave up my life knowing good and well what my son would become; For as I held him there in my arms, I was granted a peek into his future. And even now, as I watch him in hi sorrow I knew it was the right thing.

Omi, my little Omi, will one day find the answer to put evil in its place for good.

I never left him, not even when he was torn from my lifeless body. I was there, comforting him in the long nights that followed and his studies of my past. And even now, as the funeral March progresses I stand with them. My Xiaolin companions, my family. Moving through the bodies, I came beside the casket my elvish brethren carried upon their shoulders. It was amazing how peaceful one looked in death. A small smile crept onto my face; my blue robes had been replaced with white ones and around my body lay irises, my favorite flower. AS they continued on to their destination within the place known as the Firelands-an ancient burial site for fallen Xiaolin warriors- I couldn't help but move to Haldir and Meiko.

As my formless spirit came close, a twinkle made itself present in Meiko's golden eyes. For out of all, she was blessed with the gift to communicate with the dead. A sad smile spread across her face, hand moving to her mate's shoulder. "She's here" She whispered.

Haldir, wiping tears from his eyes only looked around. I let out a chuckle as he did how I was going to miss him. And now, as Meiko and I met each other's gaze I bowed to her. Words could never express my thanksgiving for what she had done. All she did was nod, knowing sensing how grateful I felt. With one last smile, she turned her attention back toward my body. Again, I weaved my way in and out of the crowd. Song rose from sorrowful mouths, hymns of ancient elvish mixed with old Chinese proverbs. My eyes rested upon my son once more, across the hole in the ground. Tears fell from his face and I instantly ran to his side again. I wrapped my arms around him although I knew he couldn't feel them. I stayed like that, and Omi never moved. Slowly the people began to leave as they placed the earth over my own body and erected a stone plaque in my name. Next to me was Dashi's old tombstone. A small smile spread on my face, but it was only momentary.

The sun began to lower in the sky, and Omi ...he never moved. While his sobbing had ceased, the look on his face made my heart break.

I had done the right thing in giving my life to make sure he stayed alive. There was no regret in that aspect. Only, the fact of the matter was, I never got the chance to tell him to his face I loved him. And Loved him I did, I could only hope he would realize just how much.

His sudden movements moved my attention to the last person I had expected to see. Chase moved slowly up over the hill. He stopped briefly to look upon Omi, and I prayed to the gods that neither of them would attempt to strike at the other. Instead I moved aside as Chase approached our son. There were no words exchanged at first as Chase placed a hand on Omi's head. With heavy breath, he ended up breaking the silence. "I trust the Monks have told you yes?"

Omi nodded "Yes"

Chase knelt down at my freshly dug grave and placed purple Irises at the plaque. And then, Omi did something I never thought he would do. He moved, placing a hand on Chase's shoulder before wrapping his tiny arms around his Father in a tight hug. At first, I thought Chase would throw him off yell at him for touching him or worse; but instead, the mighty prince of darkness turned and returned the gesture. They remained like that, and for once they were ignoring the sides they had taken and acting like father and son should. Although, I am sure it would only be short lived. Chase would never fully go back and I dare say Omi would never conform to his Father's ways.

But they balanced each other; they were perfect as they were. Walking over to them now, I placed a hand on Chase's back as he stood. He reached down and wiped the tears from his son's eyes "Be strong Omi, your mother would hate to see you in such a distraught state"

With another sniffle, Omi nodded. "Thank you….Father" He had spoken it so quietly Chase had almost missed it. But it took him off guard. Never had he expected to be called that.

But a smile seemed to form on my face. While I had felt a mix of emotions a sad happiness filled my spirit now. Omi bowed to him before leaving the grave. I could sense a great burden had been lifted off of him now. He passed right through my invisible being as he walked away leaving Chase alone at the graves of his old master and Lover. I wish he could have seen me, I wish we could have gone back and re done everything. Maybe then things would not have had to end this way.

But the more I thought it over, the more I was satisfied with my answer. If things had been different I wouldn't have had Omi, he may not have been as powerful, and he may have died instead of me. Chase took in deep breaths as I moved to stand in front of him. Leaning forward I placed an icy kiss on his lips. His expression changed from sad to shock, and it only made me giggle. He had sensed it huh? His eyes looked right at mine but I knew he couldn't see me. He couldn't hear me.

"F-fae?"

Yes, it's me.

"I love you" He spoke and there it was. Old Chase, the one whom I had fallen for, the one I had courted and the one I had married all those years ago. Just when the Xiaolin order was forming, and the world seemed so young. It was genuine; he was no longer hiding behind his hard ass façade. There was no longer a need. In his yellow eyes I saw the pain I saw the guilt, and I saw the loss. "I always have"

I love you too. And I always will

Something happened then; my unseen spiritual body began to lose its form. A light formed in my chest and slowly I began to fade. Chase, giving one last look took his leave of the graves. I watched him go with a heavy heart, but it was clear my time left wandering the earth was up. As I faded into nothing but a brightly lit ball of energy, I felt myself rise into the air before shooting across the sky. It was exhilarating, heading head first into the setting western sun. In the blink of an eye I found myself in what could only be presumed as Norway. It was a frozen lifeless icy wasteland. As I descended from the stars by some unseen force, a tiny town came into view. I was drawn to this place, as if I was needed here now instead of where I had been. Closer and closer I came until I singled out one house. Inside a newly born baby was held by its mother, the Father poking at the fires that kept them warm.

The next Dragon of the Ice had revealed herself to me. And now, it was my duty to give up my Dragon's soul to this child and watch her grow from the afterlife. Reforming into my ghostly shape, I entered the two roomed home. As mother placed the child in the crib by the fire and went into the kitchen, I leaned over and smiled down at the babe. She looked up at me, much like Omi had that first day. A grin spread over her toothless mouth and hands reached up at me. Bending over, my lips pecked her forehead and the Dragon in me separated. I was torn into as it was sucked into the child's spirit. And as I fade away, all I could muster was a whisper;

Be strong little one. The day will come when you are even more powerful than I had ever been. You will be tempted, you will be tried. Don't let the darkness guide you, don't make the mistakes I did. Love everyone even those you call your enemy.

"Darling did you hear something?" the father stood from the fire. He was sure he had heard someone talking but in a hushed tone.

The mother emerged from the kitchen "No, I haven't said anything. Are you alright?"

Her husband looked around, standing up and looking down at their daughter; He smiled, picking up the happy baby in his arms "Just fine dear. I must have been imagining things huh? Unless little Anika was playing ticks on me" He nuzzled his nose in to his daughters and she just smiled, icy blue eyes full of delight.
