The Mage's Tale

Chapter 9- When Darkness Falls To Light

Ryo didn't like this one bit. Master was crying, the Prince was crying, Tinker bell was crying, and Sage was dead. There was nothing fair about this. Ryo glanced down at the blue haired boy who was clutching the broken body tightly to his chest. And it was then that tears swelled up in Ryo's eyes. Sure, he could talk to the dead, but it wasn't the same. He wanted Sage back, and he wanted him back, NOW. With a slight sniffle, he uttered a few, delicate words that flowed on the tip of his tongue.

"I wish… I wish…. I wish that Sage wasn't dead!" With awe, through tear-filled eyes, Ryo watched as Kento's tiny body began to glow, along with the dead form of Sage.

"What the?" Kento asked as he trembled in fear, not understanding what was happening. He yelped as the light around him burst. It didn't hurt, but it surprised the tiny being with the loud, sudden noise. Rowen watched in awe at the glowing figure in his arms. And was brought to more shock when the body moaned and long lashes fluttered open revealing pale violet orbs.

"Sage!" He cried out, pulling the startled boy closer then before.

"What just happened?" Sage asked in a tired voice, wondering why Rowen was crying and holding him, but not minding the intimate touch in the slightest.

"Oh my god! You died, but now you're back, and, and I love you, and I thought that I'd never see you again, and don't you ever do that to me again!" Sage was confused, and startled, and pleased with what the boy had just said.

"You… you… love me?" Rowen glared at the other boy through reddened eyes.

"Of course I love you, you blonde idiot! I've loved you since I met you if you haven't noticed!"

"Actually, I hadn't." Sage said with a matter of fact tone, earning him yet another glare from the other boy.

"It was so obvious! I love you, and I have for a long while, and you know finally notice!"

"Well, you could have been a little bit more subtle. I mean, with all that teasing me, and putting me in really bad situations, it was just SO obvious that you like me." Sage began to speak again, but was silenced by the soft lips of the archer. Ryo turned to Cye and Kento.

"Kento, if you could choose, would you be human, or small fairy?" Kento looked on oddly.

"Why do you ask."?

"Just wondering." Kento finally nodded.

"Yeah, I think I would. I've always wondered what it would be like to be big." Ryo grinned.

"I wish that Kento was human sized so that Master won't be lonely!"

"Wait a minute! Ryo!" Cye began as he watched the tiny fairy grow into a full-grown boy. Kento stared down at his body in awe.

"Look Gepetto, I'm a real live boy!" He exclaimed, flapping his wings. Still had them. Cye watched the other boy in awe. Though he had never had feelings for the fairy, obviously, he now decided that he was having a change of heart. He couldn't believe how muscular the boy was, a large grin plastered on the fairy's face.

"Is Master happy with what Ryo has done?" Cye nodded slowly, eyes never leaving the now human like boy.

"Ryo, your master is VERY happy." Cye murmured. Ryo grinned. He did well. He turned to look at the other pair, Sage turning a lovely shade of blue from lack of air, Rowen's lips pressed firmly on the other boy's. Ryo smiled. So this was how it would all come to an end. And they didn't even thank him. But for once, he didn't mind not getting the credit. He was just glad that everyone was happy. And with a smile, he disappeared from site, to leave the others alone.

The End

Epilogue- The Name Game

Sage was content. That was about the perfect word to describe him at the moment. Utterly, utterly content. And he was. He was lying perfectly between his lover's legs, both comfortable on the couch. Rowen's arms hung lazily across Sage's mid-section, and the blonde boy's head was set on Rowen's stomach. One of Rowen's slender legs was wrapped around one of Sage's, the other propped up to keep the blonde from slipping of the furniture.

Kento sat in a wooden chair in the corner of the room, the smaller body of the former Summoner resting on his lap. Kento's arms were wrapped around his lover's thin waist, His wings stuck painfully between his own body and the wood of the chair. But he'd live. All that mattered to him at the moment was Cye.

Ryo, unlike the others, was paired with no one, due to the fact that he was only 9, well, 10 in a month as he so pleasantly enjoyed ranting about. He instead made it his job to bug Mia and Anubis, who had, on a whim, basically adopted the demon-child.

"Mommy, daddy! Where did she come from? Huh huh huh?" Mia sighed as she held the newborn child in her arms. The tiny body was only about a day old, with bright red hair like both of her parents.

"Ryo, I told you to ask daddy."

"What!?" Anubis cried as Mia grinned at him.

"Well dear, I just went through childbirth. The least that you could do is tell your new son where babies come from." Ryo grinned.

"Yeah yeah yeah! Where do they come from? Huh huh huh?" Anubis sighed.

"I'll tell you later son." Ryo's faced formed a pout.

"But I want to know now!" Anubis groaned. Sage shifted on his lover's stomach, and Rowen had to force back his moan. Sage was hitting where he should not have been hitting. Sage laughed, well aware of the problems Rowen was facing.

"Aww, are you Ok love? Is something bothering you?" Sage's elfin eyes danced with delight as he received a menacing glare from Rowen.

"Damn right. But Ryo and a baby are in the room." Sage laughed.

"Well, that's not my problem."

"It's your problem now." Rowen hissed.

"And as the King of Escaldia, I demand that you do what I want." He whispered close enough for only Sage to hear, and possibly Ryo, due to the demon's extra-sensitive hearing.

"And what I want is to take you know." Sage's eyes widened as Rowen knocked the blonde to the floor.

"But Rowen! I ache!" Rowen grinned as he picked up Sage.

"Well now you'll regret teasing me."

"Not again, Horny bastard." Sage groaned as Rowen carried him out of the room.

"Well, that was interesting." Kento mused.

"So, Mia, what are you going to name the baby?" Cye finally asked as Mia turned to Ryo, then the baby, and then back to Cye. She smiled.

"I think I'll name her…. Suzunagi."

The End

Party time! I finished it! Go me! And I've only worked on it for about two weeks! /*Does little happy dance at having finally finished*/ Well, I guess this means I'll be doing heavy duty on "The Others" And after I finish that I will go into a writing depression for lack of anything else to write. Or get another idea, I tend to get those a lot. By the way, I would have easily had what /*Cough*/ ShadowMoon so thoroughly enjoyed in "Through Thick and Thin" happen to Sage, again, but in the final poem, it makes mention that "Water as Virgin and pure as I." Sage couldn't have been the last summon had he not been a virgin. Well, I finished my first really long thing! Go me! Well, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it! Well, ja ne!
