Author's Notes: This is the End. I thank Firefly Dreams for the last few Reviews, but I will respond to all future reviews in an author's notes section in the story. And now the epilogue. I edited previous chapters... especially 16 since a whole chunk got cut out somehow! Figured out why post chapters were so confusing... Fanfiction.net was not taking what I put in to divide things. So go back and read 16 again.

Epilogue: In the Darkness

"Squall!" his voice echoed in the black chamber that was half of the Angelus corridor of Mercale's home.

"Why? Why Reyn?" he who was Darus asked his lover.

"He is our son," Valen, or Seifer, replied.

"Now now," Shiva, known during her life as Serah, said when she appeared, "He's a very strong boy. Griever won't take him until he's fifty at least!"

"Serah," Squall said, tears in his eyes, "He's my son."

"He'll be more powerful than any of us then."

"He's not a little kid," Seifer said, "He's going to be a great strong me, he'll survive anything, even that upcoming war."

"I don't want him thinking we were bad," Squall said, leaning against the pale skinned Serah.

"Squall," the golden haired and blue eyed woman said, pushing him into Seifer's embrace.

"Everything is going to be okay. Soon we'll all be a family again."
