Epilogue
Max opens his eyes and becomes aware of his surroundings. He is back in Roswell in the desert back at the old radio tower where he and Liz had spent their first night together so long ago. He is aware that he is no longer old that he is young again. He feels as though he is in the prime of his life. He slowly walks over to the site. He sees a woman with her back turned to him. He smiles as he recognizes her, he would recognize that tiny frame anywhere. It's Liz. He rushes over to her. He grabs her arm and turns her around. 'Liz.' He looks at his beautiful young wife. He sees the loving smile on her face. 'My love I was waiting for you. But I didn't think you would be here this soon.'
Max cups her face in his hands and looks into those beautiful chocolate eyes seeing all of her love for him in there. 'I love you Liz.' She smiles at him and touches his face with her right hand. He moves his face within her hand and closes his eyes enjoying the feel of her soft skin. 'Max' she whispers 'when are you going to kiss me?' His eyes fly open and he laughs seeing the impish look on her face. 'Oh Liz how I've missed you.' 'Max how could you have missed me? We were only apart for a short while.' He looks at her seriously 'Even though it was just a few hours it was too long.' 'Max why are you here already? It wasn't your time yet.' Max averts his eyes and drops his hands at his sides as if he is embarrassed to reveal why he was here already.
'Liz... I, after you were gone I felt as if my heart was gone also and the other half of my soul.' 'Tell me how could I have gone on like that. Without you I am nothing.' He averts his eyes as if he's afraid to look at her, afraid of what she might say about his lack of will power to go on without her. She slowly cups his chin in her hand and looks at him lovingly. 'Max look at me.' He raises his eyes to meet hers. The force of her love for him takes him aback. 'Did you really think I wouldn't understand. You should know better My Love. I don't think I would have been able to go on without you if it would have been the other way around.' 'It's all right Love, we belong together, always.' He pulls her into his arms and almost crushes her against his body. Slowly he relinquishes his hard grasp on her body and holds her lovingly. He looks at her once more. He can no longer hold back and kisses her. Liz wraps her arms around his neck and holds on to him with all her might. They were together again and shall forever remain one.
After a long time they finally move away from each other. 'Liz, do you know where we are? I mean I know this looks like the desert of Roswell where we spend our first night together, but this isn't real ' 'No it isn't. I just wanted to revisit this place one last time before we move on.' 'Move on to where love?' 'We will rest for a time just enjoying being together in a place that exist between worlds. And when the time comes we will return to life once again. For we are still needed, our task isn't finished yet.' Radiantly smiling, Max looks at her. 'Yes, I know what you mean.' Looking up at him Liz rests her chin against his chest. 'Will we be together in that life also?' Max reassures her 'Yes, we will, no matter what. We will be together, if I have to I will cross time and space again to be with you. In every lifetime we will be together. I will look for you always.' Liz smiles at his words and knows them to be true, she feels safe in the knowledge that they will be together always.
Once again they kiss reaffirming their love for each other over and over. Finally they break apart and take each other's hands and watch the sun setting over the desert. As the sun finally throws it's last beams over the desert floor they walk towards it. A bright light appears and they walk into it for this is their place of rest until they are called upon once again. The closer they get to the light they can see shapes appearing amidst the light. For a moment they flicker before they take form. They realize just whom it is that is standing there. All of their friends are there to greet them Michael, Maria, Isabelle, Alex and even Kyle and Tess. They embrace each other overwhelmed with joy that they are finally together once again before they move further into the light together.
Life is a never-ending circle with no beginning and no end. Soul mates are destined to find each other in every lifetime. They have no choice but to seek each other out, so it has always been and so should it be, together as one, always.
The Prophecy of the Beloved
It is said that when our people's need is the greatest. They will come. Do not try to prevent them from joining. For woe will befall our people as never witnessed before, since the first appearance of the Beloved. Even if they are not allowed to become one, do not despair for their love for Antar is so great that they will not leave you in your time of need.
You would do well to heed these words and not take them lightly. Though they will always be united in the end, the suffering that will ensue if The Union is hindered will be sorrowful.
