So, here it is, people. The last chapter of my first fic! Hope you like it.

Epilogue

Death is a strange thing.

Some people find ways to cheat it, some accept it, some simply don't care. And then there's those who are given another chance. Another chance to live their lives more fully than they did before.

Karala Trinity was one of those lucky people.

She woke up in a temple. A familiar one, somehow... Of course. How could she forget? Her father's temple. The one she'd grown up around. She smiled. Life felt wonderful after dying. She'd never meant for it to happen that way, but she'd had no choice. She'd died. The last tiny bit of her innocence was swept away. But she was alive. It was enough.

She walked through her house, putting her thoughts in order. She'd have to go and find the Ronins soon. She'd been dead for almost a month, and she'd watched all of them as they coped with her death. She smiled ruefully. She'd go see them soon. First she wanted a little time for herself. She didn't think she could face them all so soon after what happened.

She came without noticing into her bedroom. Maybe she'd move back here, when she finished school, after all. She'd intended to sell the place when she came of age, but now that she considered it... no. It would be like selling her memories to someone who wouldn't understand them. She'd never sell it. And who knew. There was Ryo and the others. She'd manage somehow.

Karala Trinity walked outside into the garden, feeling the wind on her face. It was good to be back.


She's not dead! Sorry to all those who don't like her, but I wanted to set up a sequel here. Come on, last chance to review my first and favourite fic!
