Epilogue

Year 3 Q.E (Queen's Era)

Barry decided to end his work by afternoon. He had gone to the trouble of inviting everyone for a dinner tonight to celebrate the three years of the new world and Monika's age so he wanted to make sure that things were ready.

As he headed towards the throne room, he thought about how much the world changed. It came as no surprise to everyone that when the Goddess revealed herself to the world, there were many on the believers and non-believers side who questioned her powers. Of course they were all silenced once she did display some of her capabilities and after that, Monika became the only thing the world could talk about for three months.

Because of all the groundwork that occurred without Barry's knowledge, the transfer and consolidation of power to a singular force went on without much trouble. The world now operated in a slightly better way than how it used to. People were not being constantly monitored like how many had thought, a world where the media was meant to promote a more positive lifestyle was put into place and Monika's biggest achievement was total nuclear disarmament. She then started to lower the sizes of countries armies, while transferring many soldiers to government posts that helped them ingratiate with the community.

And what happened to the teams? Carol still works in the CIA and with less violence in the world, she has more time with her family. Titus became the head of the newly dubbed 'World Military Force' which may sound like a super army but in fact it was soldiers or retired police officers that worked together to help cities and towns affected by natural disasters. They were the largest rescue force in the world, which meant he was always busy. The furies surprisingly opted to live a calm and peaceful live, which Monika had no problems with. She erased their identities and their crimes, gave them new lives, which they happily accepted.

Progress however was always met with opposition as there were many people in the world that did not want such an almighty being governing their actions and took to leaving the cities and living in the forests, away from all kinds of technology. There were also those, calling themselves 'Normies' who wanted the old world back and often resorted to violent methods to send their message across but he didn't care that much about them.

Barry opened the palace doors and saw Monika, dressed in the clothes that fit a being of her status. She noticed his presence and smiled, as she came towards him, advisors flanking her on both sides.

"What's going on Barry? You normally finish work late at night," asked she, sounding visibly concerned.

"Ah, well I thought now would be a good time to give you your present Monika," Barry said, with a sheepish smile.

"*ahem," interjected one of her advisors "I understand your need to help the queen but there are many subjects that we need to discuss with her majesty."

"Subjects that I will take care of in my own time. Thank you for your input now please leave" Monika said, and the advisors agreed. She turned back to Barry and whispered "They've been boring me the whole day. You have no idea how happy I am to see you."

The two exchanged a quick embrace before Barry led her to her room where her present waited.

"I'm hoping that this one's better than the robot dogs," added she, while being led to her room.

"Hey I maintain those are great presents. Who doesn't want a pair of super powerful metal dogs guarding and keeping them safe at all times?"

"I do," Monika replied and Barry sighed.

Upon reaching the door, Barry did not say a word. His expression grew soft followed by him opening the door and gesturing Monika to go inside while he watched quietly. When she entered the room, there was silence for a moment, but that silence was gone by the sound of a familiar tune being played on the piano.

Monika's eyes opened wide in shock upon seeing the piano player. Immediately she turned around but Barry was long gone.

As Barry headed back down the castle to being work for what was to be a 'surprising' dinner party with his old friends, he thought about how much his life changed on that fateful night. Ever since then it had been a roller coaster of events and he would not have it any other way.

When he was given control of all the technology and inventions hidden by the Governments of the world, Barry immediately poured himself into the possibility of creating a device that could make the impossible happen. The reason he never told another soul about this was because he did not want to get their hopes up in the event that his initial attempts failed.

And yes he failed spectacularly on many times in his impossible quest but Barry never gave up. He spent two and a half years working in secret, putting all his effort so that his two friends would finally be together.

If there was one thing that Barry learned during all of this it's that God's don't make miracles, humans do.

Monika blinked a couple of times then slapped herself a few times as well to make sure that this was no dream. So many times she had dreamt of this reunion only to wake up to a cold and harsh reality.

"There's no need to doubt yourself," said he, gently placing his hand on her cheek, so that she could feel the warmth of his hand "Sorry I kept you waiting."

Monika didn't answer, she was too happy to be mad at him right now. Instead she slowly brought herself forward, connecting her lips with his, finally reuniting the two lovers.

AN: that being said, after writing the chapters and understanding the characters more, there's no way I was going to let them become another 'tragic couple'. I apologize if this felt like a little trolling, that was never my intention. Its just that this way, the ending is happier than before.

Thanks a whole lot to the people who faved and followed my work. Thanks to all the guests who reviewed and always had some encouraging things to say.

Thanks a bunch to dawicc and PhoenixBJB who were the most vocal people I've seen in the review colums. You guys are awesome people.

Also thanks a lot to The Concept of Hope for pointing out certain mistakes and helping me evolve my writing style which I'm sure many of you would have noticed.

Finally I'd just like to say that I'll be going back to finish my God eater FF and if possible might start uploading chapters of my own original works. I am a writer and would love to keep improving my craft.

Thanks again to everyone in the community for being so welcoming.
