Epilogue
Faith, Giles, Anya, Tara, Angel, and Spike stood in the empty graveyard. There were four freshly dug graves.
Dawn Summers
Loved by all
She was kidnapped a lot.
Alexander Harris
The class clown
Even in death, he's still our bright and shining star.
Willow Rosenberg
A kind and caring soul
A powerful woman from the start.
Buffy Anne Summers
The grave only had her name. She was indescribable. She was pure, yet wicked. She was a saviour, yet a destroyer. She bathed in light and in blood. She was a slayer.
But beyond the killing demons and vampires, what was a slayer? Was there a purpose? Was there another girl entirely? What would Buffy be if she wasn't a slayer? Faith answered the question in her mind. Buffy's destiny was to be a slayer. Nothing more. But sometimes, Faith wondered what could've been if she wasn't a slayer.
But the biggest question is: Can a slayer ever be innocent? Sure, they were holy. They killed evil. It was their destiny. But there was always something dark and twisted inside a slayer. Like she would always die alone. Buffy had. And all the slayers before that.
As Faith considered her future, everyone grieved. The twilight bathed the six figures. And they thought of this as a new beginning. It was like coming home after a lifelong journey. Being blind your whole life, and then suddenly having this veil of darkness lifted from your eyes.
And finally, they all felt at peace.
Angel had decided to come back to Sunnydale and work as a part of the Scooby Gang. Spike didn't like it, but with rivalries past, they finally fell into place.
Anya had decided to pay more and more attention to money and the store, and Giles promoted her to the owner of the shop. Eventually became very successful and got a big job in NYC.
Tara had decided to move on from Willow and go tour the world on a journey for finding herself and improving her magics.
One day, a prophet came to the Magic Box, now taken back by Giles, and told Faith, Angel, Spike, and Giles that the First were coming for them. This caused Faith to worry, but Giles rallied the potentials and the Watchers council. They were reunited at last.
Spike couldn't move on from Buffy, but he still decided to become an official member of the Scooby Gang.
And Faith had met another girl amongst the potentials: Her fellow slayer. With the help of the potentials and the two slayers, the girls won the fight against the First, an ancient evil.
Eventually, the potentials and the other slayer dispersed from Sunnydale, to take business elsewhere. Spike, Angel, Giles, and Faith continue to this day to work against the forces of darkness that threaten Sunnydale.
