Epilogue ~Kayoé's POV~
I looked through my glass ball, sighing in relief. What I saw in the magical item as an image I thought I'd never see again; Zelda and Link expressing their love for each other again after such a long time... Yet it saddened me to think that that girl, Lea, was not able to see this.
"My mission is complete, Link of Hyrule, as this is my last gift to you," I softly spoke to the image, smiling. Long ago had I faced reality, and accepted that Link would always love Zelda, not me. Now, I was truly happy for both of them.
I turned away from the glass ball, and towards the prepared ceremony. I had set up a circle of candles, with the five pointed star of the witches in the middle. It was plain, but efficient for what I needed to do.
I carefully stepped inside the circle, and knelt down. Closing my eyes, and pressing my hands together, I quietly whispered the sacred words of the gods, begging them for forgiveness, and my righteous punishment. Repeating the words over and over again, they seemed to slowly lose all meaning.
"Kayoé," a soft, yet somewhat commanding and angelic voice echoed through the room. I slowly opened my eyes, and looked up into sacred blue ones.
It was the girl, Lea! But something was different about her. Her golden hair hung loosely around her shoulders, framing her soft expression. She wore a silky, white dress, but her feet were bare. A radiant light glowed around her, and as she stepped forward, she seemed completely weightless. Simple drifting towards me, offering a streched-out hand. Slightly confused, I accepted it, and slowly stood up. Following her lead, electricity buzzed in my arm, and a shiver ran down my spine.
A portal opened out of no-where, too bright for me to see what it was. As Lea took me into the unknown light, I asked, "Where are we going?"
Her lips curled upwards into a gentle smile, as she replied, "Home."

Author's Thanks, Notes etc:
Right, anyone still reading this, sorry for the crappyness of this
epilogue. Thank you for all your kind reviews; I really appreciated them!
They really kept me going. Also, thanks so very much to my best friends,
especially Becky, for all the encouragement, since I'm not very good
at chapter stories. Becky helped me with the huge writer's blocks I experienced,
and the story would have never been finished without her. So everyone praise
her! Also (I go on and on, don't I?), I wish to thank the authors Missie
and Hell's Angel, for their stories truly inspired me. Oh, I'm so sappy.
Anyway, I'm not sure if I'm going to write what's in Lea's diary and how
Lea and Salia got kidnapped in the first place, but I'll think about it.
By the way, if anyone feels that there were holes in the plot (since I
always miss those) or anything very very confusing, please e-mail me at
esther.bretschneider@gmx.net. That all done, I hoped you enjoyed my story,
and now I'm going to shut up and go away. Later days!
