~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~EPILOGUE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many of the Castle inhabitants ignored Elara after Insanity overtook her. She was constantly ignored and pushed away. As she neared the end of her Apprenticeship, Barney Pot had recognized what she could do. He often asked her to help in taking care of Spit Fyre, picking up dragon poop, and such. Soon, others began to ask Elara for requests and favors. It was this that inspired Marcia to make both Septimus and Elara ExtraOrdinary Wizards. It was a fine decision. Elara handled Palace work and Septimus helped out with the citizens of the Castle and the Port. Rose often helped with Elara, seeing as she was the Charm Wizard Apprentice. Elara had stopped seeking out love, for she knew she had a family now, and that was enough for her. She had stopped caring for Septimus, but they still had a close friendship. A year later, on her eighteenth birthday, she decided she wanted a new beginning. It was also the very end of her Apprenticeship to Marcia, and her start into adulthood. She wanted a new beginning, a new tomorrow, a chance to be something that she wasn't during her seven years and a day in the Wizard Tower. A chance to finally be a person without endangering herself or others. Marcia had resigned a little later, much to Septimus's annoyance, but it gave Elara time to think. Be normal, or special? Three years later, she had made her decision. Normal would go against all her instincts. She chose the other option, and was not only respected for her choice, but admired. No one wanted to follow the common norms. They wanted to be what the expectations did not want to be. The Castle flourished like This, each individual breaking away from the expectations, each a new and unique flower. Elara had been successful.
Mission accomplished.
