Thanks Glinda for the review.

The story is coming to a close soon...but not just yet. This is a chapter that tells the lives of the various characters in my story. It's short, but I wanted to get the point across that the story may be about Erik, Christine, Meg, Raoul, Nadir, and Madame Giry but the other characters were important too. This is what happened to our main characters and the others who make the story of POTO even better.


Timelines I

Each of the characters of this story lived happier lives. Their lives continued after the fire of 1871…

The Comte De Chagny recovered from the first flu he had. He lived to see all of his grandchildren. Unfortunately, The Comte De Chagny died on October 25th 1875 from a second case of Influenza. Erik officially recieved the title of Comte De Chagny and Christine became the new Comtesse De Chagny.

The original Comtesse, Francine De Chagny, no longer bothered her son or stepson like she promised. She actually continued being a positive influence in their lives. When her husband died Raoul and Meg let her move into their house. She died peacefully on April 6th 1877. She had a very beautiful…very big…funeral. Just the way she would have liked it.

Meg became lead Prima Ballerina in 1874 when she returned to ballet. Christine occasionally stared in shows when Carlotta was sick.

Carlotta stared in Faust and continued to sing throughout her career. She returned to the stage after getting a final note from the Opera Ghost. It said that he was sorry for all that he did and she should continue singing. Occasionally Christine would sing in her place. She remarried the new tenor of the opera house, Signor Francesco Tamagno on July 29th 1878 and retired from singing later that year. She had three kids (two boys and a girl). Though she married another man her soul always belonged to Piangi. Carlotta died on September 19th 1909. She was reunited with her love.

Christine picked up where Carlotta left off. She continued singing until she retired in 1889. Meg retired as a chorus/ballet girl and became the ballet mistress in 1879 along side her mother. Madame Giry retired in 1889 along with Christine.

Monsieur Firmin married his fiancée Anna on December 10th 1871. He continued managing the Opera House with Andre. Firmin had one son, whom he named after his best friend Andre. He retired in 1891. Monsieur Firmin died November 2nd 1900.

Monsieur Andre married Francine, Anna's good friend, on March 22nd 1872. He continued managing the Opera House with Firmin. Andre had two children, a daughter named Belle and a son whom he also named after his best friend, Firmin. Andre retired alongside Firmin in 1891. Andre died July 9th 1904.

After the managers retired the Opera House continued their business but closed on July 9th 1901.

Monsieur Reyer continued conducting at the Opera Populaire. He died on January 14th 1881.

Madeleine died on October 30th 1881. Erik and company attended her funeral. Erik placed the blue baby blanket she made for him in her coffin.

Javert was sentenced to life behind bars for his crimes. He died in 1907.

The ghost of Joseph Buquet finally moved on. He no longer haunts the opera house.

Believe it or not, Madame Giry married Nadir on August 11th 1874! Who would have known? (A/N: I had to)

Nadir unfortunately died on April 18th 1909. Erik spoke at his funeral and talked about how Nadir was one of his few friends and how much he would miss him. He said that Allah called back a great man to heaven, and he hoped to see him again.


A/N: Again, short...I know. The next couple of chapters will be too. But the next one, Generations I, will be about the De Chagny children and their lives.
