Epilogue: Raziel's Goodbye

Raziel went to the top of the fortress, where he found the one things that would return everything to normal. No one except the guardians and himself would remember the events that happened. He opened all the tubes of air, which made a musical sound. He then opened the main one, which made a loud humming sound. Raziel then opened the sides of the room, which would send the sound throughout the lands. Then Raziel noticed something that would effect the memories, and time itself to restore what had happened to all but the guardians, legendaries, the Eldress, and him. He activated it with the reaver and sent a wave through the room and it was carried away on the musical notes made by the air torrents. Then Raziel watched as the land returned to what it once was before he had arrived. He went to where the Eldress had shown him and found the perfect spot for the nine pillars of the Pokemon World. He asked the Eldress to construct them with the symbols on them and he would have the guardians bind their powers to them as a way to tell who was in good health and who was plotting against them. The location was above the Indigo Plateau on a strangely, yet coincidently named plateau. The Eldress told Raziel that the plateau was called Guardian Pillars Plateau or Guardian Pillars Mountain. Raziel went and got the guardians and told them that they had one more thing to do, before the Eldress would allow him to go after Kain. He brought them to Guardian Pillar Mountain or Guardian Pillar Plateau. He then said, "You have to bind your powers to the symbol you feel most familiar with. The center one is the balance pillar, which will help keep balance between the other eight pillars." He watched as Ash walked to the center pillar and placed his hand on the symbol and concentrated half of his powers into the pillar. Doing so he turned it white, which symbolized it was pure. Next was Misty who went next to him on his right side. She did the same and it was pure white as well. Then Duplica went to the one next to Ash on his left side and followed the example of Ash and Misty. Hers was pure white as well, as she breathed a sigh of relief. Then the Gengar went to the one next to Misty and touched it. The pillar turned pure white as well and the Gengar then looked to the one next to Duplica. Mew/Two was next and they both touched it as it turned pure white and had the symbol of two within the dimension symbol. Raziel guessed that this was because they were both of the same makeup only one was made differently. Then Brock went to the one next to the Gengar and it turned gray and Brock looked scared at what had happened. He then said, "Um, what does this mean when it's gray like this?" Raziel signaled for Shadow to go next and he did. Shadow touched the pillar as it turned pure white as well. Raziel then went up to Brock and he said, "You were going to betray them and have them turned into vampires. That is why it is gray, it symbolizes that you cannot hold the responsibility to be the guardian of mind, because you can taint their minds with madness. The same thing happened to the pillars in Nosgoth, the mind guardian found the balance guardian dead and suspected a traitor and went mad infecting the others. Now I present to you the true guardian, the one you call Tracy Sketchet. Now Slate go to the pillar and place you entire palm on the symbol and see what happens." Brock did and he found that all his powers left him and he now fainted. Tracy then waited for Raziel to tell him what to do. Raziel signaled for him to touch the pillar. He walked to it and touched the pillar symbol causing it to turn a pure white. Then the full knowledge of being the mind guardian hit him and he was shocked and scared of what almost happened. Then a portal appeared in the front of the balance pillar. Raziel gave his farewells and told them he would find a way to come back. Raziel entered the portal, but it did not close until a shadow type form entered the portal. Everyone was confused, but shrugged it off and their life went back to normal. Or at least as normal as it could now.

Raziel remembered entering the portal, now he was in front of a shrine. The symbol of the ancient's staff was on the doorway crossed with what seemed to be the Soul Reaver, but the handle was different, the skull had angelic looking wings. He turned around and saw a man with the same staff as the door it. The stranger said, "Raziel, I have been expecting you. Reaver of Souls. Guardian of Souls. Ancient of Souls."
