EPILOGUE

"I win yet again"

"..."

"Your futile attempt to change circumstances are but a waste of time"

"...Do you really think so?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do you honestly think that death is the ultimate end?"

"She was a mortal! All mortals will end with death!"

"Not necessarily. How sightless of you"

"Xiu Soi died along with your feeble hopes and dreams of peace"

"How cruel of you to kill your own daughter...

"She was expendable"

"But are you sure she's dead?"

. "She burned on the funeral pyre!"

"What you all witness is merely the death of the shell that you gave her"

"Every mortal can never go back once their body dies"

"True. But look. She is still in the hearts of these people. She lives on"

"They are but just dreams. What good will they do?"

"Soi awoke hopes and became their light. You know that you exist because someone thinks of you...and not the other way around"

"And so?"

"You may have destroyed her body...but you failed to destroy her soul...and her heart that has learned to love"

"WHAT?"

"Did you know that if everyone had one wish, the light in their hearts could make that wish come true?"

"That's impossible"

"It is not so"

"You can't interfere anymore! It's game over! You lost!"

"Did I?"

"Yes. Xiu Soi died!"

"But I did not say anything about her body...I was referring to her soul"

"You--"

"So you see, the game is not over yet. It is far from over. It has only just begun"

"You cheated once again! You should have lost the bet!"

"I did not. You saw the funeral. The only ones who did not grieve are your pawns. But everyone..."

"You are not going to get away with this"

"It was the power of the people's wish...one wish that bound them all together for but a moment...that moment is enough to bring her back without my aid. Now...let us see her shine once again, shall we?"
