Authors Notes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,

And breathed in the face of the foe as he pass'd;

And the eyes of the sleepers wax'd deadly and chill,

And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!"

- George Gordon Byron, "The Destruction of Sennacherib"

EPILOGUE.

(The Final Frontier)

Rev20:1 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.

Rev20:4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshipped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

Rev 20:7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth--Gog and Magog--to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. 9 They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

And so it came to pass as it was written. That after the Avatar, who was the chain of the Archangel Azeral, sealed the Gates of the Abyss and bound the Serpent; there was peace and prosperity for a thousand years for the people of the Books and the Nephilim.

The King of Kings ruled over them and judged them. The chosen were raised back and death cannot claim them.

But through this, the lost lamb – the Avatar- was not forgotten.

The thousand years have come and the gates were opened once more, for the final time…

And once more was found the Great Kingdom which was come to Earth, besieged.

A great battle ensued. Greater than the previous war.

It was here that the Avatar returned, a general to the Nephilim, the fist of God.

His heart soared to unknown bounds at his freedom and he sung the praises to the Most High for the fulfillment of His promise.

…Until all are one.

'Domine Dominator noster quam grande est nomen tuum in universa terra qui posuisti gloriam tuam super caelos'

He intoned as he began to stretch his gaze once again upon the field of battle.

'ex ore infantium et lactantium perfecisti laudem propter adversarios meos ut quiescat inimicus et ultor'

The bright red-gold flame of his sword once again burned true…

He raises his eyes unto heaven and saw his brethren, his family and his joy… and, his Only…

'videbo enim caelos tuos opera digitorum tuorum lunam et stellas quae fundasti'

And he wondered and stood in awe at the Greatness of His work and His Love.

quid est homo quoniam recordaris eius vel filius hominis quoniam visitas eum

He wondered about himself, of what he was and is… of his worth. For before he had been judge by the Greatest Judge, now he was considering himself…

'minues eum paulo minus a Deo gloria et decore coronabis eum. dabis ei potestatem super opera manuum tuarum. cuncta posuisti sub pedibus eius oves et armenta omnia insuper et animalia agri. aves caeli et pisces maris qui pertranseunt semitas ponti…'

And he smiled and rose the flaming sword up high as once again the armor of his Faith clothed him. He shouted for all to hear before his charge, the signal for the final battle between good and evil to begin.

"'Domine Dominator noster quam grande est nomen tuum in universa terra!"

b-----------------------------b

What does one do with Eternity?

A thought that had crossed the Avatar's mind for as far as he could remember… and he was restless…again.

After all, there's only so much one could do when you've got time… a lot of time… in your hands.

He felt the cool soft skin of His Only snake their way around his waist as he watched a star explode. Together they marveled at the myriad colors that one event caused. They held together and made love, literally amongst the stars. And, as they rested they watched the stars' remnants spread out to form the next phase in its existence. Harry twirled a wisp of nebular gas as it strayed to them and again watched the 'slow' progress of the cloud as they rested.

'It will look like a unicorn, I think' He heard Hermione say in his mind. But, when Harry didn't answer, she looked worriedly at him. 'Why?' She simply asked. She knew it would come sometime or other, but atleast it took him just shy of a trillion Earth years…

To them, that it was but a span of a day.

He has a free spirit and although peace was good for him, she knew that it would be denied by her mate, that Harry is a warrior. In name, stature and honor. Her question answered itself…

'Take me too…' She then asked and he smiled. He would never get tired of hearing it, so he asked again.

'Don't you ever get tired of me?'

"I Love you, and if forever is not enough, I'll spend another lifetime… and more, if you asked me." she said huskily as her voice carried through the vacuum of space and through the stars.

His loins stirred again by her touch and they made love while a new star was being born… the throes of their passion flaring in time as that same star went nova 15 Billion years later, and once more the nebular clouds of its demise serving as their blanket.

The End.

AN. My first completed Fic. I hope my dear readers that you've enjoyed reading this as much as I've enjoyed writing it.

The Latin phrases are from the Vulgatte. It is actually Psalms 8, a favorite of mine. Don't forget to Review and also to check out Way of the Force and my other works. Thanks again.

Icy Manipulator, out.
