Dear Journal,

This adventure of a lifetime is over. Sylvarant and Tethe'alla have stopped competing for the other's mana and Mithos is gone. The world is peaceful, at least for a while. Well, I do sort of wish I was still on the adventure with Lloyd and the others. They became like the family I never had- Lloyd, Genis, Colette, Raine, Regal, Presea, Kratos, for the short time I knew him, and even that idiot Zelos Wilder. I would've never dreamed becoming friends with him, of all people. The question is what now? What am I going to do? My grandfather wants me to take the place of chief, of course. I don't want to let the people of Mizuho down, yet………….after traveling the two worlds for a year I don't think I could just stay in Mizuho. As much as I love the village, I don't want to be stuck there the rest of my life. Well, I'll have plenty of time to think about it later. Right now I have to help get ready for the party tonight. We're all in Iselia and are having a last get- together before we part ways tomorrow. It's going to be so hard saying goodbye to everyone. I've got to go, so I'll write more later.

Sheena

Later that day:

There was an air of excitement in the small village of Iselia. A delicious smell wafted through the door of the kitchen in Raine's newly rebuilt house. Regal was busy making all of the food for the night and Sheena and Raine helped put the numerous tables and chairs outside. Everyone was invited to the going away party and the whole village was full of excitement and anticipation. Zelos reached into a bowl set on one of the tables and was smacked by a glaring Sheena. Lloyd and Colette were out taking a walk somewhere and everyone else was helping getting ready.

"Hey Sheena, where should I put this table?" Genis asked her, levitating a small table a few inches above the ground. Genis had just learned the power of levitating objects and was now making everything in sight float.

"Genis, lay off with the levitating, will ya? You were about to hit Zelos with that bowl of guacamole," Sheena said, ducking as a chair zoomed through the air.

"Does this mean that you actually care about me? You've finally admitted your true feelings. Well, I knew it all along. All this time you've been hiding it, keeping your rampant emotions in check, but it was too much this time. You just had to let it out sooner or later," Zelos grinned at Sheena, who in turn rolled her eyes.

"You wish, lover boy," she sighed and put paper plates down on the table.
