The Guardian opened his eyes. He had spent a moment to remind himself of his origin. All those eons ago, he had been nothing more than a simple man. But due to the power of the Creator, he had become so much more.
He continued to watch over the tenth world, waiting for the time of the Crisis. Abaddon lived by almost the same rules as did the Guardian, and would wait until the heroes were ready. Then, both the Guardian and his darker half, Abaddon, would abandon the world to it's fate, and wait until the fate of that world was known.
The Guardian sent his awareness down, to observe Amy. She had lived a long life, eventually becoming a blademaster as he had, and had many children. She had fought her entire life for justice, and upon her death she was rewarded. The Guardian had taken her, and given her soul a new meaning. Amy had been destroyed the same as Stryker had been, and had arisen from the ashes to become Hyne, the guide of souls.
She was with her firstborn, Bahamut, the Lord of the Monsters. The Guardian had given her a mission upon her rebirth, to create a collection of monsters to guide and protect the people of the Worlds. Her first choice was the soul of Brandon, who she had remade into the King of Dragons. They were together, Hyne and Bahamut, sharing their love through an unbreakable bond that not even Stryker had been able to shatter.
The Guardian smiled to himself. Hyne still felt a little residual guilt for the love her former self had ignored from Stryker. But the Guardian felt no grudge, for she was meant to be with Brandon. Besides, the loneliness he had felt then was in no comparison to the loneliness of being the Guardian. It had been a long road, and was yet unfinished, but in the end he would find peace in the Creator's paradise.
Hyne reached out to the Guardian, seeking to share her friendship. The Guardian accepted, and shared a piece of his soul with her and Bahamut, who had forgiven him long ago. Suddenly, they were seated around a coffee table, sharing cake with their friends once more. The Guardian looked at Bahamut, and smiled. All had been made right, and the Guardian's atonement to Amy and Brandon was complete.
They all continued to watch and guide the new world. Eternity was theirs, and they would abide a while longer.
And the Universe continued onwards…
