All of the remaining warriors gathered in the castle to celebrate their victory. The demons had not been able to invade and they would never find a way to enter the realm ever again. At least not for a very, very long time.
Many of the warriors gave Gilbert their thanks. They knew that the end of the war was mostly due to him. He had been determined to win from the very beginning and he kept his vow to the kingdom. He would be known as the legendary hero for many years to come. And the legend would go on even when he disappeared.
Speaking of which Ludwig, Abel, Antonio and the children all walked over to congratulate and thank the demon. All of them wore happy, yet saddened expression. He knew the exact reason why.
"It seems that you will be leaving us, Dreamweaver," Ludwig said. His expression being the saddest out of all of them. For his whole life had been a bunch of lies.
"I will be leaving. But I do not believe it will be forever. I am sorry that I am not actually your brother. But do know that I have come to love you just as a brother would. And I wish the best for you and your lover," he spoke with a small smile.
"I just cannot believe it. I do not wish to lose the only friend I have. I will be so lonely without you and Francis," Antonio was the next to speak.
"There is no need to be lonely. I will not be gone forever. I did recently learn how to teleport through portals after all. But while I am away you and Abel should reconcile. It is not worth the pain to be angry forever. You never know when you will disappear."
"I would like to do that very much," Abel said quietly. A small blush on his face. "I have truly missed you." Antonio blushed as well. The two began to talk about the issue and were soon lost in each other.
The kids did not say much to him. They had thanked him for his help to make them great warriors and made him promise to come back and visit whenever he found the chance. And for once he felt like that was a promise that he could keep.
Gilbert laid in bed later that night with his lover. Each of them knowing that their time in the realm was done. They would soon find themselves on another adventure. Together they would save anyone who needed saving. They would keep the world from falling apart. So, with a kiss goodnight the two fell asleep. And their bodies disappeared into the night. Off in search of another realm to save. They dreamt of the realm where they would meet once again.
