Hello everyone! Well, this is the last chapter. At long last, The Wolves Seal is ending. Like ToP, it's kind of sad, but also at the same time, semi exciting since I know the next installment is coming out sometime. Life wise, I'm good. Me and my mate are doing well, and just trying to survive the sudden burst of winter we received. It's not that bad, but it's different from what we had been getting the last month or so (warm weather that is, lol).
As I said, TWS is ending, but look out for Forgotten Guardians, plus there is a two piece one shot in between that I worked on. I'll probably release it in the middle of February, or possibly March, pending on my progress for FG. I hope, and I really mean it, that I get some time, plus the concentration, to continue working on FG. For some reason, I just can't focus on it for very long. Lol, in a month's time, I've only wrote one chapter, which is kind of pitiful. But I'm trying to get my mind wrapped around the storyline again. It just takes a bit of imagining. Lol, I've been imagining the duels for so long, but I've changed them a million times! Hopefully I'll get it to the computer screen soon though. So, please do patient with me on this next installment. Usually, I had finished the story, or was extremely close when I started posting. I know ToP was finished early last year, about the time I started posting. Then I began work on TWS while posting ToP. I finished TWS way before the end of ToP, so I had time to read over my work, and was happy with it, at that time. Of course, no writer is probably happy with their work, or at least I'm not, lol. I can always find something wrong.
Anyways, I'm hoping to finish FG before the end of summer, but I'll be posting it probably near the beginning, so, possibly, it may be May or June before you hear anything on it. I may get more done before then, but that's my estimate at the rate I'm going. I hope I'm overestimating, but I don't know. But at latest, you'll here something from me by June. Btw, if anyone wants me to email them when I'm beginning, I can, or if you've already got me loaded on as a favorite, I think it will let you know automatically. Either case, I'd be happy to email anyone who wants me to when I begin posting. Just leave me an address, or I can just shoot you a pm.
Last time, Illidan and Marie tied the knot, finally rejoining one another in marriage. What lies before them now?
Well, it's time for the last set of reviews for this story.
ardee: Cool about exams. Thanks for the comment, and yeah, there wasn't really any action in the last four chapters of my story. They're mostly just wrap up chapters for the entire story. blushes Wow, a great story… But yeah, I kind of liked this one more than ToP also. When I was writing ToP, I wanted so desperately to write this story, but I stuck with ToP and then wrote this story, in record time for me, lol. Yeah, I did kind of purposely keep the main show characters out. Last time, in ToP that is, I focused on everyone. I wanted to separate it out a bit this time. Also, I paralleled the two storylines, making it harder to guess where in the series you were at, unless you paid close attention to what was going on when main characters checked in. But thank you for your comments. I'll try to get around to checking out your story. I read a good bit, and write a good bit, but I'll try to get to your story. Lol, I have a whole list of ones I haven't read yet.
Isis the Sphinx: Thanks. Lol, I know, it was fluffy, but I figured it would end a good story with something good happening. Yeah, textbooks are heavy! I had several heavy ones at college. I saved several, and have a large box for them. I can't lift the damn thing alone! That's how heavy all of my books are! Lol, but it's cool about the complaining. Thank you for the comments.
pink-kiss-candy: It's cool. I understand about studying. I had to do it back at school, from time to time… That's when I wasn't busy writing, playing a game, spending time with my mate, or just sitting around, lol. Thanks about the chapter, and yeah, Marie and Illidan do truly love one another. Ryon… Uh, odd, lol.
Ultimate Legendary Master: Yeah, it was just a filler chapter pretty much. The last four were mostly to wrap things up and put any questions about the past and present to rest. And they were just to mesh things together, lol. Thanks for the comments. I'm getting a bit more inspired for FG actually. I've been thinking about some of the duels, and the more I think, the more I'm getting revved up again. I just hope I can keep that up, lol.
Metal Overlord 2.0: Lol, thanks. Ah, poor man, you're stuck. Pulls out oil can and sprays him down. Better? But yeah, the wedding was filled with a bit of comedy, but mostly fluff. Now the happy couple must press on with life, and who knows what challenges await them. Thank you for your comments, and if I get stuck, I may drop you a line for help.
Well, that is it. Those are the final reviews for my story. Well, I'll probably respond to everyone via pm if they post any other reviews, but for the most part, this is it. I hope everyone enjoyed The Wolves Seal. I know I really enjoyed everyone's comments, questions, and remarks. It is you all, the readers, who truly make writing these stories seem so much fun. I can't wait to see what you all think of when I post my two part one piece, plus when I finally begin posting Forgotten Guardians. I do hope to see all of you and new faces in the near future again. Thank you once more for all your support, reviews, comments, and remarks. See you all once again in the future.
Chapter 70
At the end of the party, everyone had to leave, each hugging the young couple and wishing them luck.
Before Pegasus was ready to leave though, handed Illidan something, saying "This is a small trip I'm donating to you as a present. Please enjoy it, for it was a wonderful place where me and Cecilia stayed at. Also, there are tickets for you a way back home when you're ready. Don't be strangers though, so please keep in touch, Illi-boy."
Marie lightly chuckled at the nickname Pegasus had for Illidan, but nodded and the two graciously nodded and hugged Pegasus goodbye.
Seto next walked up to the two and handed them a card, saying "Well you two geeks, it's been fun. Not really, but I'll say it was. Just make sure you give me a rematch soon Illidan, for you owe me, big time! That card has the numbers you can reach me when you're brave enough to fight me."
Lightly chuckling, Illidan extended a hand, saying "Thank you Kaiba, and I will give you one, I promise."
Slightly snorting, Seto turned away, saying "Come on Mokuba."
Mokuba came running behind him as usual, saying as usual "I'm coming!"
The couple laughed at this, with Marie saying "Some things will never change."
Both smirked at this, but each smiled at Yami as he approached. Yami smiled at the two and hugged both, and pulled back, saying "I wish you both nothing but happiness for the rest of your lives."
Illidan nodded and replied "Thank you Yami, and I wish you luck in recovering your memories. I know you will in time. Just keep at it."
Marie was about to say something when a small vision flashed in her mind. She suddenly saw Yami dueling his partner, Yugi, in front of the stone that had held the seven Millennium Items for centuries. She then saw Yami lose all his life points, and he smiled as he passed on into the next world, a place where his spirit could finally rest.
"Marie?" Yami asked, which instantly broke Marie's vision up.
Shaking her head, she smiled and said "I will miss you, Yami. Please, stay safe, and keep searching for your memories. You'll find them, I know."
Yami smiled kindly and said "Farewell for now my friends. We will meet again."
Illidan nodded, but Marie gave a sad nod as Yami went to join the others. Turning to Marie, Illidan asked "What was that about?"
She sighed sadly and whispered to him "This is the next to last time we'll see him. I just had a vision showing that his spirit will soon be at rest."
Hearing this, Illidan sadly sighed, but then smiled, saying "At least we got to get married with him still here. And at the least, he'll soon be put to rest."
They then saw Shadi walk up with his arm around Ishizu's waist. Both smiled at Shadi, for the young man was finally living for himself for once, not for his duty. The two hugged Shadi and Ishizu, each thanking the two for coming.
"I was glad to do it. After all, it's only the second time in five millennia that I've gotten to see it happen. I figured why not try it again." Shadi said with a smile.
The three lightly chuckled at his joke, and Illidan then said "Good luck my friend. I can't wait to get my invitation to your two's wedding."
Shadi's cheeks instantly turned crimson with blush, as Ishizu did the same. Shadi finally managed to say "Well, expect one someday. Till then, take care my friends."
The two nodded and hugged Shadi and Ishizu once more, and even had Marik and Odion join in. They each said their goodbyes, leaving a handful of people, two being Blue and Vash, and the others being Rebecca, Professor Hawkins, and Bakura.
Blue walked over and hugged Marie, then Illidan, saying "I'm so happy for you both. I hope you both have a great life together."
Smiling back, Illidan replied "And I wish you and Vash nothing but happiness."
Blue lightly blushed at the words, but nodded. Marie stepped forward and said to Blue in a mere whisper "Thank you for bringing us back together."
Blue smiled and nodded, saying "I was more than happy to. Thank you, for believing in me."
The two then hugged and finally separated. Vash came over and gave a quick hug as well to the two, and said with a smile "I one day want a rematch Illidan."
Lightly chuckling, Illidan replied "Don't worry, I'll give it one day. Till then, enjoy your time with Blue."
Vash lightly blushed at this, but then walked over to Blue and wrapped an arm around her waist. The two quickly walked off to join the professor and Rebecca.
Bakura came over last and said "Thank you Illidan, for all you've done. And thank you for letting the spirit help save me. I think it meant more to him than anything else in the world that you let him help save me. Thank you again."
Nodding, Illidan replied "I'm glad I could help, and that we got you back. I hope you have nothing but happiness from now on in your life."
Bakura smiled back and nodded, then hugged the two. He then smiled and said "Well, I have to go chaps. Try not to stir up too much trouble."
Both nodded and watched the group walk off, leaving the two together. They stared at the sinking sun and smiled at one another. Illidan then stepped in behind Marie and put his arms around her, pulling her into an embrace.
The two continued to stare at the sinking sun and each sighed happily. For the first time in five millennia, the two could once again call themselves married once more.
Turning her face to look up at Illidan, Marie said "I love you, Illidan."
Smiling at her, Illidan replied "And I will love you forever, Marie."
The two kissed one another lightly as the sun set finally. They then looked up at the moon rising, with Illidan saying "Whatever comes our way, we'll face it together. Our love shall conquer all that tries to tear us apart."
Hand in hand, the two walked off the beach, heading for the car Pegasus had left them for the night to take them to whatever location he told them to go to. Each smiled, as Illidan said "Let the adventure of our lives now truly begin."
