Epilogue:

The warm summer breeze was lovely as her white hair fluttered around her like a billowing cape. She was walking home from school, her uniform the colours of red and grey her hat pulled down over the front of her forehead.

She held a firm grip on her school bag as the park's lushness glimmered in her silver eyes. The green grass brushed over the edges of the concrete paths as the trees provided relief from the harshness of the sun.

The smell of lavender and jasmine rose from the nearby gardens. It was nice to have a stroll through the local park once in a while. It was an appreciated change to the bustling classrooms and corridors at school.

Suddenly a gust of wind whipped her hat off her head and it fluttered down the hill landing on a sleeping figure in the long swaying grass.

'Ah, sorry,' she called to them as the person sat up and scratched the back of his head with mild confusion as he glanced at the hat then at her. She paused as she glimpsed the handsome features of the person's face.

'This yours?'

'Yes, it got away from me,' she replied as she held her long hair away from her face as she bent over to retrieve her hat from the stranger.

'… Have we met before?' She reeled back, a tint of red highlighting her cheeks.

'N-no, you must be mistaken,' she glanced at the swaying grass to distract herself, the man wasn't bad looking, dark curly hair and matching eyes… soft and playful.

'Thank you,' she went to hurry away but a hand gripped her own. She whipped around and stared into those dark eyes.

'May I at least know your name?' he asked her as she gulped nervously.

'E-Elena,' he smiled gently and kissed the back of her hand, the softness of those lips made her blush harder.

'I'm Tyki, it feels as if I've met you before,' Elena snatched her hand back and pulled her hat down over her eyes. She had never been embarrassed in her life but the man was nice and his manner sweet and deep down she felt like she too might have met him somewhere before.

'Maybe…' she said in a small voice as she felt him stand next to her.

'May I walk you home?' Elena looked up from under the brim of her hat and smiled.

'I'd like that,'

I watched them walk away; their hands were slightly touching but never quite that. It was funny, watching them like that, their shoulders seemingly brushing against each other. It was even more amusing that I was once their son in another non-existent lifetime.

It was heartwarming to see them like this, they would no longer have to worry about who they once were or the side they were on. They deserved it… it was after all my choice and being the Noah of Salvation, I decided that the interference of any higher being, innocence or dark matter was wrong. Even the Heart thought so.

The Millennium Earl didn't say anything but he accepted my decision with a slight nod of his head and we just continue to watch over them for however long that may be.

Our previous family and even the exorcists were finally living human lives it made me happy.

I still don't know what happened to the Apocryphos but I knew one thing… that 'Holy War' should never have happened.

Besides, humanity will destroy itself eventually…
