Epilogue
Memories of the Lost
It was the night of the full moon and two girls, just a few months shy of marrying age, were traveling up a well worn trail that led to a small ledge overlooking an old battlefield. They stopped before they reached the ledge and settled down, waiting.
"Are you sure that she is going to come?"
"Every full moon."
"Have you ever seen her before?"
"No, but my mother did. She said it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen."
The night grew chilled and the girls pulled out a blanket and wrapped it around their shoulders. The moon was now high in the sky, shining down on the small ledge.
"Look!"
And there are the ledge stood a beautiful woman. She had shoulder-length black hair, and blue eyes that would put even the sky to shame. She was looking over the battlefield and the graves, with the moonlight shining through her.
"Natsu Kaldea."
One girl sighed, looking at the ghost of the star-crossed lover that had died many years ago.
And two girls hugged each other, for it was said that a sighting of the ghost foretold a joyful and loving marriage.
And long after the girls left and returned to their village, the spirit of Kaldea stood on the ledge, now looking off into the distance where Konoha Village lay far away...
"Kaldea..."
There was a man's voice, merely a whisper on the wind.
"I am here, my Love. I will always be here."
