It's the FINAL chapter for this fanfiction! This particular chapter is more... Philosphical. It's created from what I think is really true, and really it's what we should live with. It doesn't matter whether people like it or not or agree with me, I just wanted to make this more meaningful. So. This is what I wanted to show through my fanfictions. It's not good, it's not that bad either, but I thank everyone who read this story and stayed with me. I love you all and look forward to my next stories too. Enjoy~! -HB
Chapter 5 – Epilogue
Two months later…
Hey Ahri! Look at what I found! Sona's voice resonated through the grassy fields of Ionia. Atop her head was a wreath of wildflowers, her blue hair floating gracefully and her pale face gleaming with excitement. Ahri smiled as she looked at what Sona was holding. A little child was in her hands, with lustrous blonde hair that reflected light of every color. A beautiful child it was, but its eyes were like cat's eyes, slit pupils that glowed amber. He also had a single fluffy tail sprouting from the back.
"Reminds me of myself when I was younger. Wonder if there are any more of my kind in this world…" Ahri peered into the child's innocent eyes as Sona held him with a warm smile.
We should take care of him. Maybe we could call him our child. Hehe. Sona giggled as she said that. Ahri's face glowed red. She thought of it for a while. It would be amazing.
"For once Sona, you're right. We should maybe call him ours." Ahri smirked as she poked at the child's face. His laughter was clear as a bell sounding, and that brought a sense of peace to the couple's hearts.
His voice is beautiful too. Wonder if I could raise him to be a singer at one of my concerts…. Sona wondered on that thought. Ahri wrapped an arm around the musician. She buried her face into Sona's shoulder.
"It sure is a great day here… No one here to disturb us. Doesn't Syndra make a good neighbor up there?" Ahri asked, pointing up at the floating palace up in the sky. Sona nodded as she picked up a blue violet and placed it carefully in the child's hair. He squealed with delight as the flower ticked him a little. Sona enjoyed taking care of this child.
"What should we name him?" Ahri asked, tugging at the child's hair. Sona thought for a while. She absent mindedly leaned closer to Ahri as the three of them sat on a hillock located in the grassy meadow that was located not far from the forest. The child found interest in a butterfly that fluttered near him. He squeaked as the butterfly landed on his nose.
How does… Meleus sound like…? I always liked that name for some reason… Sona suggested. She looked at Ahri, asking for her approval. Ahri smiled.
"That sounds nice. Meleus. So, little Meleus. What would you like to do?" Ahri asked playfully, poking at his stomach at the same time. The child laughed with the angelic voice once more, bringing happiness. Sona started playing the etwahl, and the child looked at her with bewilderment as he started to chirp little notes here and there as she played. Although what he sang were not word mostly, it still managed to touch the heart as Sona's melody does. A great fit indeed it was.
Whataya know. Child prodigy right there. Sona ruffled the Meleus's hair. He smiled delightfully, evidently loving the melody she just played.
"I feel left out…." Ahri muttered, knowing she can't even sing or do much about music. Sona held her close and laughed. Seeing Ahri like this made her love Ahri more.
Oh Ahri. You know you don't have to be musically talented. That's why I love you. You're perfect this way already. And plus, it would be nice to have an actual family and this child came along to fulfill that wish of ours. But what seems to be the problem? Sona asked, her eyes filled with worry.
"It's just… All this. How we're living so happily, how this child who is actually one of my people is still alive in the wild, and I don't know if I deserve this… I'm not a good person or a beast." Ahri murmured, her eyes gleaming with tears. Sona figured it was about time the fox matured in her thoughts by this time. She sighed.
Many people ask that question by this time, and we always wonder if we really deserve life like this. Ahri, just know that life is never just for everyone. It's happiness here and sadness there, we don't know. What matters is that the present isn't here to destroy this little joy we have for a short time. We shouldn't let our past haunt us for what's happening now. Because right now, in this present, we're all perfectly sound and living. Sona thought out clearly, making sure Ahri heard her. She was nodding her head. She looked at Sona with those golden eyes. Her lips curled into a smile.
"You're right. As champions of this glorious Runeterra, we should never falter. That sounded so Demacian. But with you, I'm sure this present is great to live in and the future, I think will be worth it too. Now for once, I've said something that was actually smart. Huh." Ahri smiled broadly and felt sheepish as she said that. Sona found it funny that Ahri was being mature at this age. Perhaps these foxes matured later than humans. Meleus was fast asleep on the soft grass with his blond hair swaying gently in the wind. The sun was bobbing down the horizon and the two knew this was another day, another time with each other.
I'll always love you, Ahri. It doesn't matter whether we're opponents on the Fields of Justice, just know that we're both loving each other, every moment, every second. Okay? Sona grabbed Ahri by the shoulders and asked her. Ahri felt a tear slide down her cheek.
"Okay." Ahri could manage to say that much and closed her eyes. Sona leaned in to kiss Ahri. Ahri felt her lips melting on her lover's, as the two locked lips for a long time, until the sun made its way down to the mountains. Sona's lips were warm and Ahri knew she would never forget how they felt. It felt weird how they were making this seem like the end of the world. It suddenly made sense of Ahri, though. It was the start of a new life, a new chapter, as they were now officially together. Ending the kiss, Sona felt that Ahri now knew what she was supposed to understand. They looked on to the setting sun and held hands. Perhaps it was time they go back and look forward to the next day.
I'm really not sure if it was a good ending... But really, thank you to all reading this, and reviews are always appreciated for feedback. Thanks!
