Beautiful Epilogue
----------
Cause we are beautiful
----------
Two young children were outside practicing martial arts. There was a little girl and a little boy. They moved in unison, as if they were one being. Their arms slowly slice the air in front of themselves. Their feet rising from underneath themselves into the air. And gracefully landing on their feet at the same moment.
Four pairs of hands could be heard clapping. The young children turned around and ran to their parents.
"Mama! Did you see that?" asked the little boy.
"Of course Chiyou. You two are so good!" replied Meilin.
"Really Auntie Meilin?" asked the little girl.
"Of course. You two are better than me and your dad," she said as she smiled down at the little girl.
"Mommy, can Chiyou and me go play in the garden," the little girl asked Sakura.
"You two just better not get into Auntie Meilin's bird house," warned Sakura. The two little children were off in a flash leaving the four adults in their dust. "Those two are getting so big, so fast."
"Seemed just like yesterday they were learning how to walk and now they're learning martial arts," commented Shou.
"We started before we were their age," answered XiaoLang. "I think we were a year or so younger."
"The year we were engaged," reminded Meilin while XiaoLang nodded in agreement.
"We're not going to do that to our children, are we?" asked Sakura.
"I don't see why not," commented Shou. Everyone turned around and looked at him, surprised. "I'm just kidding. We don't want our kids screwed up like Meilin and XiaoLang." Now he got dirty looks from both Meilin and XiaoLang while Sakura burst into laughter.
"I don't think she has any magic," Sakura said sorrowfully.
"She will," responded Meilin.
"How do you know?"
"It took you a long time to discover you had any magical abilities and besides XiaoLang has too much to not have passed along any to PaYang."
"Just be patient with her," commented Shou.
"Unlike Chiyou, he has way too much magic for his age," responded XiaoLang. "The Elders are scared of him already. They know he'll be a threat in the future."
"Really? But then again, they are the Elders and they do say a lot of things," said Meilin.
"They say he got it from you."
"Me? How is that possible? I haven't got any magic."
"I forgot to tell you. The Elders told me this after you had Shou. They had your powers bound because you were a threat to them and they wanted to bind Shou's."
"What!"
"I am so sorry I didn't tell you. I wouldn't let them bind his but yours is too far to be called back. I'm sorry."
Meilin closed her eyes to mourn for her lost past. "It's okay. If I would've had them I would've probably married you."
XiaoLang raised his eyebrows. "You're so lucky Meilin," joked Sakura. "Now I'm stuck with him."
"Aren't I lucky?"
