Epilogue: Aether
The call Samus Aran; bounty hunter, Hatchling, and Newborn; received, was a request from the Galactic Federation to find and assist some of its troops. They were stranded on a remote planet known as Aether.
The planet in question was split in light and dark, this Samus learned after crash landing on Aether.
She found the troops, but no survivors.
Samus is thought to be cold, but the sight of their deaths saddened and enraged her. She explored the planet further and found a temple. Inside this temple, she was met by the last Luminoth Sentinel, U-Mos.
"You are the only one who can restore the Light of Aether," finished U-Mos.
Samus stood by him, the creature many feet taller than her. She was thinking of her purpose and how all things happen for a reason. I will help this race. I will return their light to them, for I was born of the dark to bring the light.
She looked up at U-Mos and nodded. After he had given her the information she needed, Samus left.
She went to the Temple Grounds, back to her battle. All the while she could feel her loved ones watching her, and they were smiling. As Samus stepped out into the feeble sunlight she knew it was the truth that was guiding her.
The Author's Final Note
Wow, was this story ever a ride. Thank you my readers for sticking with me the whole way.
I have a few things to say before you exit this-
I noticed in some of the reviews for this story that a few reviewers had talked about Creto and had given it a gender. I am curious, how many of you thought of Creto as male or female?
Please give me any writing tips you think I need, I can take crititism, as long as its not mean.
As to future projects... I have thought of many things I could do.
I may write another metroid fic focused on the Luminoth's war, or possibly a story for Maelos...
I have thought also of creating a fic for either Sonic, Zelda, or (what the heck) a SSBM humor. Which one of these idea's do you like the most?
Anyway, those are stories for another day. Good-bye, alleycat1312.
