I watched them, a smile I thought incapable of forming on my lips.

"Are you really sure about this?" the grimoire – my grimoire – in form of Index stood beside me – beside my confinement – smiling kindly at this fool, a dear old friend beside her.

I couldn't be happier" and I was, joy burning in this old heart of mine which I once thought was unable to beat for this world.

"Once I was too focused on the matters concerning the world – now I can be content." for once I felt my age or was I aging normally now? My old friend spoke up, gently nodding to the smiling book.

"Is this really what you wanted, Alleister? What about your plan?"

Chuckling I answer him feeling age spreading through my body "My dear, dear friend. What my plans contained was a world free of magic – that I get even if it's just the erasure of it's knowledge – yet to be honest I could care less as long" looking at the monitor with the image of the original Index embracing the saint Kanzaki Kaori lovingly " as long as my daughter is happy and safe."

The grimoire smiled at me, probably feeling my sincerity while my frog faced friend looked up at me wryly "I didn't know you had children" he said, feeling the sadness in his voice I asked him with what was left of my youth.

"Please do me the favor and don't tell her." the grimoire looked at me agrily now, so I added "Don't worry, I intend to tell her myself … and maybe we can visit her mother together" Even when we can no longer meet her in this realm or with peace in our hearts -

From within me a warm feeling spread – looking at my hands to see that age reverted back to a certain degree – I turned to look at the smiling mediator.

"Be sure to become a family again, no running away allowed, and at least now you look like a father."

She said smiling while her form faded from this world into blinding light – I have been given a new beginning –

Even when I didn't deserve one.
