This is the final chapter of Land of Purity, as most of you probably know by now. This chapter is an epilogue, though to be honest I've never actually written an epilogue before, mainly because this is the first fic I will have finished that isn't a one shot and can actually have an epilogue. Because of that I really don't think this came out as well as it could have, but at the same time I can't figure out how to improve it, so here's what I got, inspired by my muse Kate—

Kate: oh, I see, blame the muse, why don't cha!

Me: OK! But anyway, I hope everyone likes how this turns out.

Disclaimer: I do not own Nausicaä.

Light from the Jungle above streamed down to illuminate a city surrounded by clean, sparkling water, petrified trees, and fields of crops grown by the people who had been inhabiting it for the past five years. Children ran around and played as their parents worked in the fields just as they always had. Queen Nausicaä and King Asbel looked out over it all from their simple brick house as their three year old daughter crawled around the floor of the living room towards Teto's bed where the small fox squirrel kept watch over her. The people of the Valley and those of Pejitei had taken a while to get used to living under the jungle that had so quickly devastated the lands above them, but had worked hard to construct brick buildings from the purified sand of the land they now lived in. Nausicaä and Asbel wore offered to have a castle built for them, but they both declined the offer. They wanted to make their house themselves in the style of everyone else's homes. This was mainly because Nausicaä firmly believed that their lives should reflect those of the people they led. The couple even helped tend to the fields while Lord Yupa looked after their daughter. Because there was no longer any reason to travel other than to occasionally check on the progress of the forest above them, he had decided to take up residence in cavernous underground with them. Nausicaä had taken up painting images of the Valley they had left that she still remembered so vividly. These paintings hung in a separate building that had been built for future generations to see and learn about the place the people of Luna Azul (1) used to call home. It had stories and legends that had always been with the people as well as the story of how the legend of the Man in Blue had come true in the queen of their people, Nausicaä, and how she had guided them at last to a land of purity.

The End

(1): that's what I decided to call the two combined kingdoms. Because the caverns had a silvery blue light, and the moon is silver, I decided to call them "blue moon" in Spanish.

A/N: yes, I know it's short, but that's all I could come up with. Hopefully it tied up all the loose ends of the fic, and is at least satisfactory. Well, let me know what you think about this final chapter, or about what you thought of the story as a whole. Any constructive criticism will be praised, because I am trying to improve my writing, so if there is anything you didn't like about it, please tell me. Well, I guess that's it, so ta ta!
