Afterward

Well, what can I say? This truly has been a great literary journey for me. I've written this up in just over a month and it came out to be just under 100 pages. I don't think I've ever come up with something so quickly. And I owe a lot of people a lot of thanks.

First and foremost, I thank my parents and my siblings for giving me the action figures, the comics, and the TV time that inspired this story.

Second, I would like to extend a thank you to Mattel, Filmation/Hallmark, Mike Young Productions, and the Four Horsemen for giving us two wonderfully amazing generations of He-Man and Masters of the Universe.

Even more thanks goes to my girlfriend Tricia, who has served as my beta reader (even though she doesn't know much about MOTU) and a source continual support. Thanks sweetie! I love you!

A special thanks, though, goes especially to everyone at the he-man.org board. Everyone there has been a great help. Whether it was too many postings in a row or a good place for resource information, everyone at he-man.org deserves a large chunk of credit.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone that has taken the time to comment/review my story. On fanfiction.net, that includes:

Classic Cowboy

Fushionblaster

Carolinadevilfox

Volvic

Mystryfann

And, of course, Teri - who was always willing to offer sage words of advice and kindness.

On the he-man.org boards, the list includes:

McHorde-Trooper

G-3

Mandolin

Master_of_Metropolis

The Mat Maniac (who still deserves a cookie and a pat on the back!)

And most of all - Ashley, who brought a tear to my eye when she wrote up her review.

If I forgot anyone, I'm really REALLY sorry. (dickwad does not count) Thanks for your support. It was so nice to have you a long for this journey.

This was my dedication and my gift to He-Man (and She-Ra) and I am so happy to have written it up. Definitely, this story will remain one of my fondest. Thank you so much for sharing this with me.

Gosh, I feel like we need He-Man to tell us what the moral was.

Hey, I think I've got one.

As long as we forever cherish and remember the things that have passed, then they will forever remain a part of us.

Thank you all once again.

Signed,

Kevin
