The Legends of Chima: After the Fall
Epilogue part 2: This is Where it Ends
Last chapter, everyone. I've had a lot of fun writing this. Sad to see it end, though-but! Bluepaw is back! And I learned from Kion THAT THE SHOW MIGHT BE COMING BACK THIS WINTER! ...Sorry for the caps...so damn excited if this turns out to be true...tell me what you guys think the season's name is going to be! This is gonna have a good ending, too. It might be short, but its to the point.
About 65 years in the future...
Forever Rock
He was tired. Unusually tired.
He knew that his time was coming. He had been getting visions...visions of the sky above him...
"Great Uncle Link?"
The old Lion turned to face his great nephew.
"Ah...Louis...it's such a pleasure to see you..."
"Yes, sir. I was wondering something?"
Link leaned closer to hear him.
"Well, speak up then. My hearing's not as good as it used to be."
"...Fine name...fine name...have you spoken with her parents, yet?"
Louis nodded. "I have, and...they said yes!"
This caused Link to slowly get to his paws and hug the Lion.
"I'm happy for you, Louis. Make me proud, you hear?"
Louis grinned.
"Oh, don't you worry, Uncle Link. I will."st hh g
Link watched the young Lion run off, and then sat down on the rock again.
...Watch over him, Hylia, if I can't...
Several hours later, Razar was wandering around the area when he came upon Link, who had fallen asleep still sitting on the rock.
The old bird gently shook the aged Lion.
"Wake up."
Link opened his eyes wearily and looked up.
"Razar...how good to see you again...how's the family?"
The Raven grinned. "Still riled as ever, Link. Grandchick's got a brood now. What about you?"
"...A few grandcubs, scattered here and there..."
Razar nodded towards a aged sword, that Link now used as a cane.
"Will you give it to him?"
Link put a white paw and the hilt and managed to draw the sword from its sheath.
"...Demonslayer...how I missed you so...Yes...I think that it's time that she was passed on...but who she'll go to..."
Razar gazed off into the distance, past the built up barrier of driftwood and rocks.
"What about Lucky? He's the right age, isn't he?"
Link sighed.
"Yes, but my great grand cub...he..he's..too wild."
Razar shook his head.
"So were you, once."
Link's face grew withdrawn a bit.
"...Once. But that time is long gone..."
Then the old Hero put a paw to his side.
"...Ah..."
Razar managed to kneel beside him.
"What ails you?"
"...My side...it never truly healed..."
Razar looked at the scar for a few moments.
Then he noticed the way Link was looking at him.
"...Link?"
"...Razar...I...I think...that it is time..." Link's gaze had grown distant.
The Raven got to his feet and bowed his head.
"...No. Do not grieve for me. I miss my wife and son dearly...at least I will see them again..."
Link got to his paws and handed the Raven his sword.
"Give this to Laval. He'll know what to do."
"...Link..."
He held up a paw. His left paw. The Triforce of Courage flickered weakly, then, to Razar's amazement, it disappeared.
"...Even it knows..."
Razar lifted his glazed over golden eyes to stare into Link's sapphire one's.
Then the old bird smiled, and the two beasts hugged for the last time.
Then, Razar caught Link as the Hero of Magic collapsed.
Even before the Raven lowered the Lion to the ground, he knew that he was gone.
"...You want your request forfilled*, then I'll see that it is done..."
Razar then cast a few spells of his own, to bury his friend, and make a cairn.
"...I think that he shall be satisfied with this..."
And while Razar was slowly walking away, somewhere else, a beast was seeing his loved ones for the first time in years...
"Welcome home, Link..."
Welcome home.
Author's note
IT'S OVER!
Tell me what you guys thought. One last thing
*You guys know what I mean...right?
Fight for what you believe,
Don't give up until the end,
Try, retry, the future's in your hands,
Unleash the Power.
Lyrics by Finley, from "Legends of Chima, Unleash the Power"
NOTE- I changed them a bit to flow better.
