Here it is, the actual last chapter. (sniff) It's been one wild ride, huh?

Shadow: Crybaby...

Hey! Where did you come from???

Shadow: (rolls eyes) I'm your muse, idiot.

Oh..right. So anyway, I do not own Sonic or anything like that..

Shadow: Do you realize this is the first time you've said the disclaimer in your WHOLE story?

(crickets)

..On with the fic!


Epilogue

Elm had not been sitting in his private room for more than five minutes when there was a knock on the door. He sighed. "Enter."

A wolf with blue and black stripes strode into the room. "Elm, Ivy is dead. Rowan killed her."

Elm was silent for a few minutes, then slammed his fist down on the table. "I should have predicted this! Ivy was right. What was I thinking, letting a hedgehog join our ranks. Should have known she would turn on us…"The wolf waited patiently until Elm's muttering subsided.

Elm straightened up. "I assume you have a plan, Oak?"

The wolf smiled, showing rows of fangs. "Of course."

Elm faced the wall. "You are to implement it in six months' time, to catch them off guard. Now you must destroy Shadow, Rowan, and anyone else who stands in your way. Am I perfectly clear?"

The wolf bowed. "Understood." He turned and walked out, letting the door hiss shut behind him.


Shadow: What do you call that?!?

What? It's a good setup for the sequel!

Shadow: You could have just inculded this in the previous chapter. Anything to beef up these pitiful chapters of yours...

DO YOU WANT ME TO USE THIS????

Shadow: You're brandishing a chair at me.

Yes! All will feel the wrath of...THE COMFY CHAIR!!! (dramtaic chord)

Shadow: (rolls eyes) You just HAD to throw out a Monty Python reference, didn't you?

I can't help it. I love the Spanish Inquisition!

Shadow: Whatever. You know, adding ridiculously long author's notes doesn't excuse the fact that this is the shortest epilogue ever.

Touche. Anyway, want the sequel out soon? Review and tell me! If I get enough positive feedback, Shadow and I will be back with another Chaos Knights story!

Shadow: Oh joy..
