Summary: Remember those you love…
In the land of Ingary, where such things as seven-league boots and cloaks of invisibility really exist, there is a double grave near the Waste, in a huge overgrown garden full of blooming flowers.
People are always coming to visit this grave. Prince Justin and Princess Beatrice visit about once a month, or whenever time allowed them to get away from their royal duties. Mrs. Sacheverell Smith comes every once in a while, wearing a cream silk hat, trimmed with roses. Michael Fisher, Howl Pendragon/Jenkin's former apprentice and his wife, Martha, Sophie Hatter's youngest sister would come, with them leaving two scrumptious cream cakes as an offering before they left. The Royal Wizard, his hair streaking white, would come with his wife, the two of them getting lost in thought as they would stare at the headstone. Even Calcifer came, usually burning all vegetation around the area, therefore keeping the headstone and area clean.
Me? I sit and talk to the grave, telling the two people who were tied together with red thread of my achievements and how the business and my family are doing. Everyone tells me that they would have been proud of me, seeing that they are my parents.
Here lie Howl and Sophie Jenkins, users of magic and great friends. They found each other is this lifetime from separate worlds, and will not doubt find each other again in the next.
And for some reason, despite the fact the Calcifer kept burning the area, a white clover would always grow on the land in front of the headstone, as if their love nourished it.
A/N: About the last chapter... I have no clue what I did, I don't know if I killed someone off or if it was a whole bunch of forshadowing. But when I do figure out what I did, I'll tell you guys.
