Epilogue
Cassandra sat on the grass and was pondering deeply before a lake at Enchanta. She watched as different colored fishes swam near the surface. She spotted a red one and was reminded of Iori. She sighed in worry. He is not back here yet. Cassie's eyes welled with tears thinking that seeking revenge is what is more important to Iori than being with her. Nigel told her he will release Iori from the love spell if ever he decides to take back his lost power. She was very surprised though as her vision went black as two hands covered her eyes.
"Oh no, I feel something wet! Had you been worried about my decision, love?"
"I-Iori!" she gushed. He removed his hands from her eyes and now with his right turned her face towards his. "Sorry to make you anxious, love." he told her and kissed her. It was a kiss of promise of good things that will come in the future. Each vowed silently to cherish this love they shared. As both caught their breath, Iori decided to tell Cassie showing the scroll Nigel gave him.
"Behold," that earned a giggle from Cassie but then asked,
"Umm okay love what is that?"
"This is the spell that we are under Cassie," he carefully told her. "Once this paper is destroyed so does our feelings for each other." He sighed "Or the hell with it all Cassandra..." He emotionally remarked. "I will want to keep this in a safe, guarded by dozens, no... I mean millions of dogs or hell, why not Heaven's army so I can guarantee you my love for you is... forever." Cassie was really touched she held her head against Iori's who just welcomed the gesture.
"Uncle gave it to you for safe keeping?" she asked. He thought he can never tire of making those eyes sparkle in happiness just for him.
"Yes, he did." he gave her a quick peck on the lips "...hmm I will correct your statement love. He gave this to me for OUR safe keeping," Cassie feigned embarrassment her mouth in an 'O'. "You look so cute when you tease," he absentmindedly told her.
"W-what about your sacred treasure, Iori?" she asked in concern.
"Nigel kept it here." His brow furrowed. "Part of my past I will always be reminded of. The nerve of your godfather to say I might need it sometime but..." he looked deeply into her brown eyes, "...if that time will come let it be because of me protecting you or..." he blushed "...the small family we may want to have in the future or maybe you want a big family?" she giggled again. "Love it will be the last resort. I see no reason for now. I will rather keep you safe as a normal human than have powers but be uncertain of your safety." Cassandra moved by his words kissed him.
Iori told her they prepared a feast at the castle, they walked hand in hand and took the path to where the castle leads.
END
(I somewhat brainstormed about this work... I do not think there will be Part 2. So is it bad or not? Well TBH it does not matter. Everyone has their own opinion anyways. I think I can take them like a man or a grown up)
