Rue-neko: (you forgot to write your name in the review!) (I've to retype my respond to you too… my pc crashed my whole chapter). So, the secret is to put positive words together? That's it? Oh well, I'm not good at that… I am planning to write more stories and I need some different types of Oc characters (I like Ocs…). But I am usually the type who writes more depressing and sad stuff… (And I try to say it fast and it gives me this: Blabliblabloblablublable… hehehe!). so Hao's face scratched up is the most sad tragedy? Muhahaha! Maybe I should at it in the story (not this one!). Thanks for your comment for my drawings! (but I really just scrap them) Deviantart? I don't think so. I don't have anytime to update things. I rarely have time to update my story (I have a tendency of not uploading things. The only thing that makes me uploading my story is reviews…) besides, I still have kiss dolls (do you know what that is?) to do. It has been so long that I have finished a doll. This is supposed to be my priority… I neglected that! hehehe! (oh, and I'll go check out your deviant page when I have finished my exams)
Ely-sama: Yes, Hao's back. But… Oh well, don't kill me after reading this.
Emily: My mom and I just bring back one of my broken computer. It's supposed to be fine now. I hope that yours will be too! I'm writing something else soon! Hehehe!
Wingweaver22: I fixed the pic of "That" and "It". I mistyped the link… Hehehe! "That" took over Ely (poor her)… Hehehe! I'll write more story after this chapter! Aren't you glad? Thank you for supporting my story throughout the whole time!
Winner-Loser: I have msn. It's "elvira813" with "lycos com". (I cannot type the e-mail because it's not allowed here…) I rarely go on it though. (I read my e-mails way more often). Thanks you for allllllllll for your reviews!!! (do a happy little dance)!!!!!!!! Yup, all 22! (imagine if you miss the 23th one… Hehehe!) Oh! I'm writing more stories after this one! (I'll start 2 or 3. I won't be concentrating on one only). Train to be weird? Doesn't this come with you when u r born? It does for me… But… I did learn a lot of things from my "Master": my sister. Wait till u c her… she WAS weird. Now she's normal. I lost my master….
Evee: The story ends here… Sorry. BUT they'll be something else after… (wait for chap 24. I'll make previews of my other stories!!! I won't be concentrating on one story!!!) I still have almost 2 weeks to go b4 my vacation… Can't relax… Must STUDY! I hate "That" too. But they owe to have evil characters that we absolutely hate, right? Hehehe!
Disclaimer: I do not own SK characters, the only things I own is my story and my original characters.
This story happens few months after the end of SK anime. I have no clue what the manga is about so…. Please stick with the anime story line!

Epilogue
Why?
Of all the people you can choose…
Why Ely…
Hasn't she suffered enough?
---------
"This body is a little weak… but… her furyoku is beyond compare…"
Hao's first instinct was to attack. However, the Spirit of Time stopped him. "It" shook its head and signalled him to wait. Hao didn't understand and didn't want to wait. The Spirit of Time seemed to be confident about the whole situation.
"I am INVINCIBLE!"
The Spirit of Time looked at "That".
"I'm the all powerful… Wait… Why…"
"That" disappeared, and Elwynn was back.
"Ely?"
"I'm back"
"How?"
"I had some trainings with the Spirit of Time. ("It" looked ashamed of itself) "That" can't control me this quickly."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. But to make sure, I want to seal "That" away from me."
"Seal? Will you be ok after that?"
"Yes."
"Can you promise?"
"I promise."
"If you don't keep your promise…"
"Then I shall disappear from this world."
"That doesn't reassure me at all."
"You know that your happiness is the only thing I want, so I'll do everything for you."
"For me? But what if you don't come back…"
"I told you. Your happiness is the only thing that counts. If you want me to be by your side, I will be. Don't you believe me?"
" I do, but I have a weird feeling that you won't be with me."
"Don't worry. This worrisome feeling will be gone."
"Ely, I just want to tell you something before you seal "That"…"
"Can you tell me when I come back? I want to have nothing to worry about before hearing it."
"…"
"Thank you."
After making sure that Hao went away, Elwynn said to "It",
"Have you figured out what you have to do to betray me?"
"Yes…"
"Is it to seal me along with "That"?"
"Yes…"But…"
"I understand. If we only seal "That" away, "That" might have a chance of coming back out before the sealing. The only way to make sure that that won't happen is that we seal "That" along with me."
"But…"
"This won't be a betrayal. I'm asking, no, begging you to."
"I thought that you promised Hao that…"
"I told him that if I don't keep my promise, I would disappear in this world."
"But you also said that you will be by his side if he wants you to."
"I did. Didn't you hear? I said if he wants me to."
"Why wouldn't he want you to?"
"…"
"And his happiness?"
"He will have it."
"… But you told him that he don't have to worry…"
"And that feeling will be gone."
"What? You…"
"I have a favour to ask you, a favour so big that I…"
"Oh! You want me to…"
"It'll take all your power, no, even more… you might disappear forever too… I'm not sure if you…"
"I'll do it if this is what you wish."
"But you'll disappear…"
"I only have one friend and master in this world. In term of friendship, I have never helped you. In term of superiority, I have to obey you. No matter which side I want to take, I will still do it."
"Thank you… How can I ever…"
"Say no more. Shall we start before "That" wants to come out again?"
"Don't worry. "That" is still under my control. But we should start the sealing now..."
"Hao…"
"I don't want to see him before the sealing. I am scared that I will not do the sealing. I am scared that I will change my mind. And I'm also sacred…"
"Of hearing him says…"
"Yes."
"Then we shall start."
---------
A bright light started to shine on the surface of Earth, and it expanded throughout the world. Seeing that light coming toward him, Hao knew… Elwynn was gone.
You didn't keep your promise…
And now you are gone…
How can I ever find my happiness
When you have brought it away with you?
The light went pass him, and…
---------
Somewhere… Somewhen…
I shall gain revenge… I shall not remain sealed forever.
"You will not. No one will break his seal for you."
Hao…
"He needs my blood ad the five spirits in order to do so. He can steal the spirits like he did before, but… I am already here. Hao can't get my blood."
I will kill you, and someone else will become High Priest…
"Hao will not revive me."
He will. You are the only one he wishes to have by his side.
"Not anymore."
How so?
"..."
Your promises with him? He didn't keep them for the first time, and he won't keep them for the second time.
"Not if he has forgotten about me."
Forgot? How?
"…"
The Spirit of Time… Is it?
"Yes. I have asked the Spirit of Time to turn back time."
Before Hao is born?
"No. He would want a life, a new life."
I see…
"Will you kill me now?"
What if I say yes?
"Then I want to do something first…"
She slowly took off her ring and took out a picture. She let go of them. As if they were alive, they flew out of the realm.
"I am ready to die."
And your wish is granted. Goodbye.
---------
I have been given
The power of time
And the power of foreseeing
And yet I never try to change the future
For everything I do else than following the orders
Is a sinful crime.
But…
I wish… and I pray…
That you will be happy
So I tend to rectify the fate
That you united with "That"
I fail to do so…
But… I have stopped you from dying.
I have sealed "That" away…
Though endless lives have been lost,
I do not regret of doing so…
I just wish that you are happy…
Happy to live…
Happy to laugh…
I would have loved…
To hear you say "I love you"
But this won't happen,
Since you have forgotten about me…
So please, never remember me…
Please, do not search for me…
If you really love me,
Forget about me…
---------
When Hao wakes up, he has no idea why he was lying on the ground. He doesn't know why he is on the ground. He looks at his environment. There is nothing special or abnormal. He does not seem to be hurt. He, then, realizes that he is holding something tightly in his hand.
A photo and a ring
In that photo, he was smiling. He seems to be looking at…
No one
Does he always smile like this? Why does this photo seem so familiar yet so distant? Has he seen it before?
No. He has never seen it.
But would he look passionately at nowhere and smile softly at no one? He doesn't know.
He looks at the other object that he has in his hand. It is a ring with a star. When he examines it closely, he sees something engraved in the inside of the ring:
I will love you forevermore…
