This isn't really a chapter, more of a 'what happened after' story. It should round off the story well. Sorry about the last chapter, anybody who thought it was un-AC like, but my sequel is going to be pretty much unrecognisable, but it is based on AC, and is set in AC, but will be more my own story. If anyone doesn't like the idea, then I am sorry, but well, I do, and at least it is original. Anyway, enjoy this one.

Oh. Thanks for all the reviews from Feye and Josh. And thanks in advance for anyone else who may happen to read and review after I have posted this, and also thanks to the occasional person who reviewed my work for the heck of it. (I think one person did, though I forget the name). Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Without Feye and Josh's support in particular, I could never have finished this, and now I have, I am so happy. Thank you so much! Right then, until P's War 2- goodbye.



Deirdre returned to Gaia, swearing never again to become isolated from the world. By bonding herself to Planet, she had been given immense power. She could summon the mindworms, locusts and other creatures that inhabited Planet. Her psych potential had increased vastly, and the other leaders of the other factions were so in awe of her power that they created a new title for her: the Priestess of Chiron.

The empaths who had helped her retain her mind had died, the strain too much. All three hundred of them had been buried with ceremony in Chiron City. The remaining members of the Empath Guild found that if they bound themselves to Planet in the same way as Deirdre, then they too could use the powers of Planet, although nobody ever matched the power of Deirdre, who had sacrificed all to gain her power.

She was given control over the Council as well, and in that way, the mission of the Unity was finally realised. Planet was united under one leader, and although Lal and Morgan ruled their own factions individually, they had to adhere to provide for the freedom of any religion; to preserve democracy; to protect Planet and to work always for a betterment of technology and industry.

Imala had, by an election of the Believers, been given command over their faction, and the religious fanatics who had rebelled against Zakharov merged with the Believers, to form a new faction, the Nevus Believers.

All the bases of the University were left deserted, and Deirdre called Planet to allow the jungles to claim the bases once again, after they had removed all useable technology from it. The same was done to the Hive bases.

Therefore, the four remaining faction leaders united: Brother Lal of the Peacekeepers; Priestess Deirdre of the Gaians; Tech-Sister Imala of the Nevus-Believers, and Morgan of the Morganites.

Together the four upheld the beauty and peace of Planet, and once again, there was a new beginning, a new spring for the human race. Earth had not been heard from in a long while, and it was assumed that Planet, or Chiron, was the last outpost of the human race. Every person swore to remember the mistakes of Earth, never to repeat them again.

And every night, Deirdre would walk through the groves of Gaia, now open to the rest of Planet, for the need for secrecy was over. She would walk, and remember Earth. She would walk, and remember all those who died. Lindly, Marco, Diehl, Miriam, Tom, Khad. The list was endless, but the cause they had fought for was simple. Peace.

The pacifist and her friends had fought their war.

They had fought.

And they had won.
