Epilogue
And so it was that Night World was saved. But the Dark Lord's last and final attempt at trying to destroy it had corrupted the geographical location of it. Hence, Rindy had performed a final barrier spell that conceals Night World from the Human World forever. Hence, the humans was to think that the Night World had perished on their own due to their civil wars and not a word of the creatures and violent battles fought was spoken again in the Human World. Soon, Night World was forgotten to them. And only became legends and tales told to children before bedtime.
Rindy, having attained the powers of the Book-keepers and the elders then closed the Gaping Hole of the soulless, preventing any of the soulless or refugees of the Night People from ever returning to the Human World. The Black Hole became a home to the remaining Night People.
Iker, after bidding farewell to his friends, returned for the Dragoon Isle, where he spoke tales of the fierce battle that had taken place and of a brave girl that had fought her best to save everyone's lives, including the Dragoons. For if not for the girl, Iker said that Dragoon Isle would have been destroyed as well. Hence a great big golden statue of the girl was carved and placed in the Great Hall of the Kings in honor and tribute.
Virginie returned to the Garden of Eden with Shane, where they spend most of their time together. Shane never did retain his sight. Even Rindy said she could not healed what the Blackcraft had done to him. But Shane did not mind. Nicky forever rested in the Garden as well and because time was halted, his body remained forever pure and fair. Virginie took care of Shane and every evening, she would describe to him the beautiful orange and yellow colors of the sky when the sun is setting.
Pandora's Hill was gone and along went the great tomb of the King and Queen. After the war, Rindy took Raul's body and laid him to rest in the fields of the white lilies. She made a tomb for him and it was seen that the tomb was always fresh with new flowers. She still returns to the Black Hole occasionally to visit the Night People for she was the only one that knew the 'back-door' back to the outside world. Her and an unlikely creature that the Night People will never meet again and hence the secret pathway was kept forever safe.
And although Rindy lives day by day, awaiting her time to arrive where she will go and join him in eternal peace, she continues to mourn his passing. The wind carried her cries across the mountains and the seas and finally to the sky, where it finally turned to icy water droplets and they fall from the skies like millions of tiny teardrops .The Night World had never rained in the past.
It would rain every now and then.
