Epilogue
It has been fifteen years since Alan and Nadia defeated Obeion. They have settled down and things seem to have been quiet in Edmonton ever since their last adventure. Nadia had developed into a typical slim mother that looked like that of the fifties instead of the modern nineties and Alan, although was balding near the top of his head and was a little more overweight, was still happy with Nadia and his new family of three young boys they had been raising for years. Everything remained quiet and still for quite some time. Or it was until…
Nadia was holding her newborn child as the little tike sucked on his baby formula bottle. Nadia then yelled for Alan, "Alan do you have the documents filled out yet?" "Pretty soon dear. I just have to sign a couple of things and I'll bring them right to you.", he replied with a hint of overtiredness. Just as things seemed to be all for better, a knock came at the door. Nadia then told a little boy sitting in front of the t.v. next to her, "Michael, can you get the door please?" The little boy did as he was told and then a thumping came near to their kitchen as the poor soul collapsed. Then as Nadia saw this, she called for Alan and put the little boy she was holding in his crib upstairs. As she was doing this, she passed by Alan's bed room where another little boy, smaller than Michael, but larger than the little boy Nadia had been holding, had has bedroom right next to his.
As Alan and Nadia sat down, Michael left the room to play some of his video games to pass the time. Alan and Nadia helping the man to his feet had him sit down and drink some coffee. This man was covered in brown coat shrouding his face and his body in mystery, but the rest of his body looked starved, weakened by thirst, beat up from numerous amounts of fights and other dangers. Alan then asked, "Is there anything we can get you? Eggs, toast, you name it." The old man then said, "You don't even recognize me do you?" Then Alan and Nadia peered into the being's eyes with curiosity and then a shock came over them. It was their same teacher that aided them all those years ago back in the seventies against Obeion and the Knights of the Realm. As the old guy coughed a little bit he then began to say, "I'm here not because of you guys I must regret on saying. I am here because of your children." Then came a bright shock to Nadia's face as Aranse took out a crystal ball and showed them the future of their lives to come.
Alan and Nadia broke out into tears and Aranse cowered his head in dismay. Alan then asked the Aranse, "Why would you tell us these things Aranse? We were just getting settled down and everything. We were going to be a family." Aranse replied as best he could, "I'm sorry my children, but the future is no laughing matter. These events I cannot change and will likely come true, but only if all remains true to their context. Your children have been chosen by fate to save this world and others not because of chance, but because their hearts are pure and deep. They shall be known as the 'Princes of Light'. Each of these boys will have a different life and a different path. They will come across many challenges that are frightening, happy, sorrowful, and even dangerous. However, if all is as it should be then nothing bad shall befall the worlds." Nadia then asked, "You act as if what will happen might not even come true." "There is some vulnerability in the timeline. Your middle son has a monster lying within him. One that is invincible, oblivious to death itself and one that cannot be diminished so easily. Likely they will meet and fight each other. For now he lays dormant in the child, but one day soon they will meet. Should the boy fall to that darkness, the dangers could pose a threat to your oldest child, Michael. In the future, he will become stronger and surpass every being, evil and good, in strength, power and wisdom, but his younger brother will be a greater threat if he falls to his sins. Should Michael fall, all the worlds will be doomed. No one will be safe should he fail to survive into the twenty-first century.", Aranse said in dismay.
Nadia gasped as Alan then asked, "What can we do Aranse? Isn't there some way you could prevent all of this from happening?" "I'm sorry Alan, but my time is nearly all, but gone and there isn't much that could be done at this point now. Your only hope is to make sure that you love each and every one of your children. If they see love between you two and them, their love for each other will grow strong and protect them. It will likely even give your middle son more power than the monster that lay within him as well. Forgive me though. I must be off. I have to visit some old friends before I pass on." Aranse then walked slowly out the door as he disappeared into a warm sunny afternoon the nineties had shown every day. Nadia and Alan then pondered this as Nadia said, "If only the Bronze Knight were still here with us. Maybe things would have been different for the future." "If only we had never gone into that cube. The timeline would have never set its course the way it did." Both Alan and Nadia argued over this issue, all the while Michael and his two younger brothers listened by the stairs as to what the commotion could be not knowing what their future was to bestow upon them.
What will become of Alan and Nadia? Who is this Bronze Knight they speak of? What future lies for their future kin? To find out stay tuned for my next installment…Kingdom Hearts: The Land of Sky.
(A secret ending that holds true and involves two stories all once: as hinted by the appearance of Michael, it is going to be leading up to the Perfect Trio (which I am as of yet working on) and another story which I will call Kingdom Hearts: The Land of Sky. That last story mentioned may not be appearing for a long time or until further notice (whichever comes first). This story, although I won't give much away, deals with a continuation of Alan and Nadia's story, the back story for the Knights of the Realm and their lives together, and that of Valadain's back story. All's hoping for the best and thanks for reading folks.)
