Sand Masters
By Copper Thrice
Epilogue
The gourd sat on Gaara's shelf in his office, as a sign of his capability and power. In the month that followed his victory, he had received the title of Kazekage by the reluctant Sand Village Council.
However, slowly, water evaporates.
A maid found the gourd on the floor and picked it up. It was empty.
So she grabbed some water and some sand and put it in the gourd.
Gaara found out and stood up and took a walk out of his office.
He stood on top of the building that held his quarters and his office. There he waited.
Soon, a cloud of sand appeared before him and Marko materialized before him.
Marko rose a fist of sand in anger, but then stopped as Gaara held up something.
Penny's locket
Gaara threw it Marko, who caught it and stared at it with a tender look on his face.
"I have no quarrel with you," said Gaara, "Leave in peace."
Marko just stared at Gaara for a bit, and then grinned. He dissolved into sand and flowed away in the winds.
Gaara turned to go back to his office, a small grin on his face.
The maid, who had seen all of the rooftop meeting, moved out of Gaara's way.
"Truly," she thought with a grin, "He will become a great leader."
Well, thanks for reading! Once again, tahnks to D. for her work on the first chapter and epilogue.
