Chapter Nineteen: Epilogue

5 years later:

"Aunt Trinity, Uncle Folken says that he used to court Alexis, what's courting?" my nephew Jason asked.

Jason leScevir de Fanel, son of Marcas and Vanessa was 3 years old always asking questions which he was too young to understand. I knelt down so we were eye to eye.

"Oh!" he gasped catching a glimpse of the small bundle in my arms.

"Jason, not too loud, you don't want to wake up the baby," Vanessa warned him as he stuck his head closer.

I tilted my arms so he could see the baby's face: a sleeping baby boy.

"You don't want to wake the other baby as well," Marcas indicated to Alias standing behind me.

As I stood up, Alias knelt to show Jason the other baby's face: an adorable baby girl. I guess I have a lot explain. During the year when Alexis and Hitomi went back to their world, Vanessa and Marcas got married and two years later they welcomed Jason into their lives. Folken travelled to Zaibach to study more of uncle Folken's designs. On his way back he saved a girl from a group of bandits. It turns out that the girl, Suzanne was a princess from Ceres. The king being grateful for his daughter's life and the fact that all his children were married except her so he gave his blessing to them. Suzanne, Folken, Alias and I had a double wedding. Suzanne and Folken have a year old daughter Gemini leCreze de Fanel. Three months ago I gave birth to twins: a girl and a boy. Alias and I named them Elissandra 'Elise' leDevir de Fanel and Tobias 'Tobi' leDouc de Fanel.

"Daddy, uncle Folken also said it was your idea to court Alexis," Jason chimed in.

Marcas' face seemed impossible to register.

"Jason, you know that Alexis is my close friend from the mystic moon," I supplied as Vanessa picked him up in her arms. He nodded empathically.

"Well, at that time, your father and uncle weren't sure of me and uncle Alias," I went o n.

"Why's that?" he questioned.

"Uncle Alias was also friends with your father and uncle and that made it difficult for them to get use to so Marcas asked me how I would feel if your uncle was courting Alexis," I explained.

"So Uncle Folken never," Jason dragged on.

I shook my head.

"Shame on you Folken for telling your nephew tall-tell stories," Suzanne exclaimed as we walked up to them.

He smiled sheepishly ands replied, "I just wanted to see how he would react."

"Perhaps you should try that on the other children when they are Jason's age," my father suggested amused at the situation.

"When your cousins are older, you can tell the story Jason," my mother replied beside him.

You are probably wondering what became of my mother and father. After Hitomi returned to the mystic moon, they decided to start all over again and now they are like two peas in a pod happy as they were before. As for me, Alias and I are overjoyed by the birth of a girl and a boy. I can tell you that it hurt a lot when they came out. Alias thought something awful had happened when he heard my screams so he rushed in just as I delivered the second baby. He didn't leave my side for the whole night. Today all of us chose to visit Alexis and her family.

"Are you ready?" Alias asked.

"Yes, everyone knows what to do," I said.

We all closed our eyes and pictured what the mystic moon looked like and the faces of Alexis and Hitomi. The pendant began to glow. Tobias started to stir from his sleep.

"Trinity," Alexis whispered.

I opened my eyes and saw four people standing on a bridge. Hitomi and Koji looked happy and relaxed. The man standing with Alexis must be Alex. He was tall as Alias with brown hair and brown eyes. Now my attention was on Alexis. She had grown taller and her brown hair was longer. She had a baby girl in her arms. I held up Tobias so he was standing in my arms. He saw Alexis and her baby and started reaching out his arms. Alias also held up Elise to show Alexis. Our eyes both started to mist up.

"I'm doing just fine Trinity," Alexis communicated to me.

"So am I my friend," I smiled.

"Would you do me a favour and show my father and Alex your wings? They are a little uncertain," she asked.

I took a step back from everyone else. It had been a long time since I opened my wings. I felt them spring out my dress. I looked over at Alexis and her family. Koji and Alex looked shocked to see angel-like people in front of them. I looked over at the rest of my family. Marcas, Folken and my father all opened their wings. Jason spun around in circles as feathers floated everywhere.

"Goodbye," I said as I waved knowing that Alexis and I had fulfilled our promise.

We waved until we could only see the trees of Fanelia in front of us.

"Daddy, when can I do that?" Jason asked amazed.

"Soon, my son," Marcas promised.

"Father look," Folken pointed out.

Standing among the trees were my grandparents Vari and Goau, my uncle Folken, the cats Nari and Earia and Belugas my father's sword instructor.

"Look Tobias and Elise, it's y our great-grandparents, your great uncle and Belugas, one of the greatest swordsman in Gaia," I replied taking Tobias' little hand and waving at them. Alias did the same with Elise. Everyone else started explaining to the older children about our history.

"Oh, look they look almost like me," Merle exclaimed at the cats standing beside Folken.

"Merle, when did you come back?" my father asked.

"Well I had to make sure I washed all the diapers before coming," she said dismissively.

We've gotten used to Merle's intrusions or should I say pop-up magic.

"Oh! Everyone has their wings open," Merle squealed spinning in circles.

"Let's go for a ride up in the sky," I suggested.

"Can we, can we?" Jason begged.

Five minutes later we were looking over Fanelia. Merle and my m other were on either side of my father. Suzanne and Gemini were smuggled up with Folken as Jason and Vanessa with Marcas. As for Alias and I, it was a little more complicated. We strapped Elise in front of Alias while I did the same with Tobias. Alias then had to place his arm around my waist.

"Look, mommy the villagers are waving at us," Jason observed.

"Wave hello," I said to Tobias.

He was so happy to see so many people that he waved both arms.

"Looks like everything turned out alright," Alias said into my ear.

"Yes, it did," I replied leaning my head against his shoulder.

My entire family filled of love surrounded me.

After that as long as any Fanelia family could remember, Fanelia was a peaceful and happy country.
