Rise of Prodigies
Chapter Seventy: Epilogue - War's Aftermath
After the final battle, considering how a major battle was transpositioned into the skies over Mahora, there was no way to continue keeping the existence of magic secret. This caused quite a few problems, but Ala Alba left those to the relevant authorities. People like Konoka-san's father and grandfather as the leaders of the Kansai and Kantō Magic Associations were left very busy dealing with that but that was not Ranma's concern. Instead, she was focused on the task of saving Mundus Magicus.
A mission that she was about to take the final steps to complete today. Thus, she, Ala Alba, Ala Rubra, representatives from Mahora, the Confederation, the Empire, a number of Earth governments and magical associations, and lastly, the rest of 3-A - who insisted on coming to watch them "work some magic" - found themselves standing at the foot of Mahora's World Tree. All to perform a complex and powerful ritual that would cement Mundus Magicus' place in reality.
Looking around her, Ranma surveyed the components of the ritual that Negi-sensei had sketched in chalk all around the World Tree. A ritual that the genius child teacher had crafted to use the powers of Ranma and Asuna to save the magical world. And as befitting being what might well be his masterwork, Negi-sensei was walking around the massive and incredibly complex magical diagram that had been etched into the ground, checking details.
Ranma would have helped him, especially since no one else could. The ritual was just that complex. The only reason that Ranma could was because she had played a key part in helping to design it. However, as one of the key power sources for the ritual, she was stuck standing inside the thing. At least Asuna-san, standing a few feet to her right while holding the Great Grand Master Key of the Lifemaker, was looking as bored as she was. Which was why Ranma was not surprised when the orangette called out to Negi-sensei.
"So Negi, could I add a new race or-"
"Asuna-san, let's not hack the world here." Negi-sensei cut his aunt off, shooting her an exasperated look.
"Fine, fine."
Ranma could not help but giggle at the interaction between the aunt and nephew. Ever since they had found out about their familial relationship, their interactions had taken on much more of an amusing edge. Especially since Asuna-san was not above using her authority as Negi-sensei's aunt to repeatedly get the better of him whenever they came into disagreement, much to her nephew, and homeroom teacher's, exasperation.
It's a shame I never thought to turn my Origin Sight on them before now. If I'd learned their relationship earlier, I'm sure I'd have been able to milk it for all it was worth. Ranma thought with an amused shake of her head.
She had of course used her Origin Sight on both Negi-sensei and Asuna-san before their familial relationship came to light. However, never long enough or with enough intensity to uncover the truth. They were her allies after all and she respected their privacy.
"Not like I wanted some sexy elven lovers or something." Asuna-san said with a disappointed pout.
"Include some extra sexy elf girls into the mix and I'm game." Ranma chimed in mischievously.
"And this is why you're my friend, Ranma! You get me."
"Asuna-san! Ranma-san!"
"Okay, okay, we won't do it." Ranma reassured the boy. "Not this time at least."
Asuna shot her a thumbs up.
Negi just groaned.
Further banter was stalled when in a burst of light Chao-san dropped down and landed feet first on top of Negi-sensei. Unperturbed, Ranma waved in welcome at the time traveler even as Asuna-san freaked out and called out to Negi-sensei worriedly. The only thing keeping her - and quite a few of the other members of their audience who were waiting in a safe area outside the ritual area - from running forward to check on him was Chao-san quickly stepping off him and proceeding to do it for her.
"Negi! You alright?"
"Negi-sensei, sorry about that. Are you okay?" Chao-san said as she pulled their homeroom teacher to his feet.
"I am fine. Fine." Negi-sensei reassured them.
"Chao-san!" Ranma shouted, cutting into the conversation. "What are you doing back in this time? Didn't you return to your home time?"
"Oh right!" Chao-san said, jumping to her feet and realizing she had gotten distracted. "I came back to stop you from making a big mistake!"
"What!?" Negi asked, horrified. "What mistake did I make?"
Everyone there, except Ranma, waited with bated breath for the reply. On her part, Ranma just waited in amusement. Having used her Origin Sight on the runes etched into the ground, she knew there wasn't a problem with them. At least not problems that she could foresee. Having come from the future however, Chao-san was probably aware of some unexpected consequences that would only reveal itself after some time.
After sucking in a steadying breath, Chao-san finally explained herself.
"You made a slight mistake in the diagram." She said as she pointed to a spot a couple feet away from where she and Negi-sensei were standing.
Immediately, Negi-sensei rushed over and looked over the part of the extensive ritual diagram that he had sketched. It took him a moment but with a frown ultimately declared, "I can't see the problem."
Walking over gingerly so as to not disturb the complex arrangement of runes written in chalk, Chao-san joined Negi-sensei and pointed to a single relatively tiny rune. "That one. That's the problem."
Negi-sensei stared hard at the rune that had been pointed out but after a long moment just scratched his head. "I'm sorry, Chao-san. I don't see the problem."
The time traveler sighed in exasperation. "You used the Teiwaz rune here instead of the more generic Ansuz rune. Thanks to that, a great tragedy will befall the future."
"Ah, I knew I should have studied the runes in more detail." Negi-sensei said, looking ashamed.
"Yes, you should have. Because thanks to this mistake instead of there being a village of sexy elf maids at the foot of Olympus Mons, there will instead be a village of sexy catgirls!"
Her statement had everyone staring at her in shock, clearly not understanding the significance of what she had said. All except for Ranma who was appalled by the news.
Catgirls!? Cats!? I am responsible for creating cats!?
"Okay, now she's just full of it." Asuna-san said, rolling her eyes.
"No, I'm totally serious! Ranma-shishou and Eva-shīmǔ will run across the village during their honeymoon and will go ballistic. They'll accidentally level it and start a whole round of anti-beastmen persecution on Mars, all because of this mistake!"
"I hope I got to torment a few of them!" Eva-chan said with a shake of her head. "Those catgirls would certainly have set off Ranma's ailurophobia and anyone who did that deserves every travesty I can level against them!"
"Well, you end up getting called the 'Beast Killer' in addition to your long list of titles, Shīmǔ. So…"
"...Yes."
"Enough!" Ranma shouted, silencing everyone. "Negi!"
"Yes!?" The boy mage squeaked.
"Change it!" Ranma demanded with a dose of her Outsider authority.
"Right away!" Negi-sensei as he knelt down and hurriedly made the change.
It took him a moment before he was done and he stood and shot Ranma and Asuna-san a thumbs up. "Done!"
"Good then get clear of the ritual circle so we can get this show on the road."
"Yes, Ranma-san." "Got it, Ranma-shishou." Negi-sensei and Chao-san said as they both hurried out of the ritual circle as carefully and quickly as they could.
"They clear?" Asuna-san asked after a moment as their homeroom teacher and time traveling classmate stopped in a safe zone some distance away.
"Yeah." Ranma confirmed. "You ready to go, Asuna-san?"
"Waiting for you." Asuna-san said cheekily as her Great Grand Master Key of the Lifemaker bobbed up and down where it floated behind her in what looked surprisingly like a nod.
Ignoring the cheek, Ranma just nodded. "Then let us begin."
At that the Mage of the Abyss began channeling her power into the ritual. Following her lead, Asuna-san did the same. Between them, the massively complex ritual diagram began to glow with a white light. A glow that was steadily building up in intensity until the power it was channeling grew to the point that it caused the World Tree, a key focus of the ritual, to begin to glow as well.
When the glow reached a blinding intensity, a beam of immense magical power shot out from the World Tree, picked up the Gravekeeper's Palace still hovering over Mahora and carried it all the way into space and back to Mars. And when the light of the beam washed over the red planet, it transformed everything it touched by imposing Mundus Magicus on the otherwise barren world, replacing the lifeless planet's existence in reality with its illusionary counterpart.
Observing all this through her omniscience, Ranma could not help but feel pleased at what they'd accomplished. Turning her attention back to Mahora, she noticed that while all that happened, the light of the ritual had only just begun to fade away into soft motes of light that were trailing off into the sky.
Seeing the simple yet pretty display of magic, Ranma-san turned to her friend whose power had helped her make the miracle possible with a large smile on her face.
"Congratulations on a job well done, Asuna-san."
Collapsed to her knees, her face flush and coated in sweat as she panted out, Asuna replied. "H-How are you not half-dead?!"
There may have been some indignity in her perfectly reasonable question. Or maybe it was the lung she nearly threw up? Hard to tell at this point.
The redhead shrugged. "Outsider."
"You're so hax!"
Ranma-san just nodded, "Though you can create life too, you know? Doesn't that make you just as hax?"
"Shut up! I'm a normal Japanese school girl slash Martian magical princess!"
Ranma-san gave the most scathing smug smirk she could manage. Considering she could literally warp reality with a whim, it was quite smug indeed.
"...You will make me crazy one day."
"Then I will welcome you into my crazy embrace."
"Uh, you two done?" Chao-san asked with a playful smile as she skipped over. "'Cos if not I can come back later."
"Yes, Ranma, are you done flirting with Kagurazaka?" Eva-chan said with a grumpy look as she floated over, exploiting the leftover mana filling the air from the ritual to access her magic which was still sealed away by her curse. Something that was next on Ranma's list of things to get rid of.
"We were not flirting, Eva-chan!" Asuna-san shouted in outrage. "Do I look like a homewrecker?!"
"Sorry, Asuna, but you totally were flirting." Konoka-san said as she led the rest of 3-A as they came over, walking gingerly through the maze of runes on the ground. "It's not like you don't know how Ranma-chan and Eva-shishou flirt, and you were copying that weren't you?"
"A little bit." Asuna-san admitted mulishly. "But only as a joke! I'm not a cradle robber! Don't take me for Iincho! Besides, look at them! I would've had no chance if I was serious about it!"
Everyone turned to see Eva-chan and Ranma-san making out. Loudly. And happily groping each other.
Shame? What was that?
With that thinking in mind, Ranma was unperturbed in allowing Eva-chan to have her hands up her blouse while she herself was openly squeezing the blonde's buttcheeks as the vampire wrapped herself around her like a limpet. All the whilst the two of them were engaged in passionate kissing.
"They do know we're in public right?" Setsuna-san asked Konoka-san with a blush.
"Yep. It's kind of hot. Set-chan! We should have exhibitionist makeout sessions too!"
"Ojou-sama!" A nearly faint red-faced Setsuna-san squeaked.
"Onee-sama just wants to make Kaasan angry is all." Haruna chimed in with a sigh as she and Nodoka-san reached Asuna and gestured at where Okaasan and Otouchan were frozen in making their way towards them as they looked at Ranma and Eva-chan's make out session in horrified embarrassment. "She's still sore that she got grounded for saving the world."
"Your sister is weird." Nodoka-san informed her Magistra, who just nodded in clear agreement. By the way she nodded enthusiastically, Asuna was one hundred percent on board with that assessment.
Should I punish them for that? Ranma thought consideringly but ultimately dismissed the idea. The way that Eva-chan stopped running her hands along her sides under her blouse to instead start massaging her breasts had nothing to do with her decision. Nothing at all!
"Why aren't you over there anyway?" Asuna-san asked Haruna. "Shouldn't you be checking up on your sister?"
"And spoil her nookie time?" Haruna retorted with a shake of her head. "I'm not suicidal."
As if to prove this point, a red faced Negi-sensei decided to attempt to interrupt Ranma and Eva-chan's makeout session.
"Um, Shishou, Ranma-san, I know you two are in a congratulatory mood but we're in public so-"
That was as far as Ranma let him get before she grew a slime pseudopod out of her shadow and used it to punt the attempted blueballer into the sky.
"Negi!" Nagi-san, who had been standing back, shouted in alarm as he quickly leapt into the sky to save him.
Huh. I put more strength into that punt than I thought. He's flying further than I thought.
Looking as her nephew was being rescued by his father from the consequences of his own reckless foolishness, Asuna shook her head in amusement. Negi could be so stupid at times.
Setting those thoughts aside, Asuna turned to Chao-san, who was looking through a pair of binoculars at Negi's flight. Coughing politely, she caught the time traveler's attention.
"Yes, Asuna-san?" The bun haired girl asked as she turned to her with a raised brow.
"Did your little change get me what I wanted?" Asuna asked seriously. This was a matter of grave importance to the princess of the magical world. "'Cos it certainly made Ranma-san happy. And if I learn you stiffed me…"
She cracked her knuckles to emphasize her threat. No time traveling shenanigans would protect the wannabe Martian.
"Ehehehe. Asuna-san is scary as always. But, yes, I assure you, you'll get your harem of bishōnen and bishōjo elves. Just go looking around Columbia Hills. Oh, and do try to use contraceptives. The last thing we need is for the elves' population to explode too fast."
"Damn straight. I'm a freaking magical princess that saved the world. I've earned that harem." Asuna nodded to herself, happy over the fact that she got what she wanted. Only to pause when the last part registered. "Wait, what?!"
Chao-san just shot her a vulpine grin. "You're the Lifemaker you know. That title isn't just because of your magical ability to conjure life. You're super fertile. Heck! You can even get females pregnant with your ejaculate."
"Wha-"
"Yup." Chao-san said, her grin getting even more predatory. "Thanks to that, your little elven commune's population booms almost as soon as you find them. You know… I don't think I have ever seen you not pregnant in the future. Or your wives either."
Asuna could just stare at Chao-san in shock. "Are you for real?"
"Totally." Chao-san said, still sporting that predatory smirk of hers.
"Was she happy?" Konoka asked, who upon seeing Asuna floundering had cut into the conversation.
"Being pampered by her bishōjo wives and bishōnen husbands? Yes, definitely. Every hour of every day."
"That's good enough for you, Asuna? Right?"
"And don't get me started on the orgies! Orgies that involve your whole commune." Chao-san, the imp that she was, added.
"Alright, that's enough!" Asuna snapped, she wanted to die now of sheer embarrassment! Something not helped at all by all her classmates looking at her with new eyes.
In response, Chao-san just burst into a laugh.
In the evening after the ritual to make Mundus Magicus truly real, Chao had met up with the younger version of Ranma-shishou for tea at Chao Bao Zi, the food cart based restaurant that she owned and ran in affiliation with the Mahora Academy Cooking Club. A restaurant that operated out of a pair of tram cars and a surrounding outdoor sitting area.
"So Chao, is the present shaping up to be in line with the future you came from?" Ranma-shishou asked as the two of them sat down at one of the restaurant's tables with a pot of tea and a plate of snacks.
"It is." Chao assured her future foster mother with a nod. "The Earth nations are all forming up into the familiar blocs and conscripting the magical associations in their nations to balance out against the Confederation and Empire just like I remember from my history lessons."
"I don't care about the politics." Ranma-shishou countered with a shake of her head. "But you know that."
"Guilty." Chao said as she playfully stuck her tongue out at the redhead whilst she poured the tea for both of them. This version of Ranma-shishou might yet to become her mother, but that didn't matter! She was a filial daughter and that didn't change things!
"So… I take it that you know that because you know me from being your shishou in the future?"
"Ahha." Chao said with a nod as she handed Ranma-shishou her cup of tea which her mother accepted on reflex. "But you're more like my mother, Ranma-shishou. You are Eva-shīmǔ are my parents."
"How did that happen?" Ranma-shishou said as she took a sip of her tea.
Chao had expected that question. Shishou's Origin Sight could tell her everything she wanted to know but she tended to respect the privacy of others and rarely ever used that particular aspect of her terrifying power to its greatest effect.
"I'm one of Negi-sensei's great great granddaughters-"
"From which wife?" Shishou asked with a mischievous smirk.
"All three." Chao said with a shrug. "There's a lot of intermarriage between the various branches of the family."
The Mage of the Abyss giggled at that before she took a sip of tea before gesturing at Chao to continue with her explanation.
"So, as I was saying, I was orphaned during a war between Earth and its space colonies and Mars/Mundus Magicus. I was saved by Negi-sensei but because he and most of his friends were too busy trying to end the war, he sent me to you to care for instead. You proceeded to raise me as your foster daughter/apprentice."
"I didn't get involved in trying to stop the war?"
"Nope." Chao said with a shake of her head. "You punished those responsible for orphaning me. Viciously. But you otherwise thought the matter beneath you. The affairs of mortals and all that."
Ranma-shishou nodded, clearly agreeing with her future self's reasoning.
"So, why did I send you back to the past in the first place?" The Outsider said as she changed the topic.
"I actually only figured that out when I got home after the Mahora Festival." Chao confessed. "When I did, your future self informed me that the whole plan to travel into the past to use the World Tree to make people realize magic was real was something you cooked up to set up a smokescreen for your transformation into a demon lord during the Festival."
"So, I instigated the creation of a stable time loop, huh?"
"Yup." Chao-san said as she enjoyed a xiaolongbao.
"You went along with it? You didn't know you would fail ahead of time? Weren't there history books or websites or whatever that you could have used to know that?"
Chao shrugged. "You're really, really persuasive in the future, Shishou. The risk of being eaten alive, even for a little while, is a great motivator. Besides, you had me training in your mountaintop monastery/fortress thing in the middle of nowhere with no Web access and only you, your familiars and Eva-shīmǔ for company when you spelled out your plan. With all of you in on the scheme to trick me no less. I'm smart but not smart enough to see past that level of trickery."
"I've gotta keep that in mind for future reference, I guess?" Ranma-shishou said with a sigh.
"Your future self told me to tell you, yes." Chao-san said with a smirk. She could see why future Shishou found this whole thing so amusing when she informed her of what she wanted her to tell her past self.
"My future self is trolling me isn't she?" Shishou said with a groan.
Her smirk growing even wider, Chao replied. "She told me to tell you, yes to that too."
Ranma-shishou just shook her head in frustration, prompting Chao to cackle at her expense. She bet that she'd get punished for it at some point, she doubted present!Shishou would do it but future!Shishou definitely would, but it was worth it! Shishou's frustration was just too amusing!
With the immediate pressing situation of Mundus Magicus, as represented with the Gravekeeper's Palace looming over Mahora, resolved, other matters could now take precedence. One of these matters was to remember those who had died in the latest war against Cosmo Entelecheia. To that effect, today, a week after the ritual to cement Mundus Magicus' place in reality, a memorial was held in Mahora, the site of the final battle.
One that would forever confirm that this was it. They were done. Sure, there may be more acts of terror or evil to come forth, but the biggest and worst of it all? It was dealt with. And thanks to that, Ala Rubra could finally hang up their staves and say 'Good work'.
As the service ended, Nagi stared at the obelisk that served as the memorial to the dead from a roof overlooking the plaza where it was located whilst feeling like everything was a dream. It was over? Cosmo Entelecheia was defeated once and for all? He could be with Negi as a family like he had always wanted? It all sounded so unbelievable.
No! He could believe it. Remembering who he had lost to make it here made it impossible to forget. Especially when he was standing next to the other surviving members of Ala Rubra as they all reminisced on what was lost.
Taking a swig from a pint of beer that had somehow ended up in his hands at some point, Nagi was the first to speak up. "Going to admit it, this is not the reunion I was hoping for."
Ala Rubra should have been partying hard, shouting and getting rowdy like the good ol' days. Yet, it just didn't seem to flow with the mourning they were doing.
Rakan, dusted.
Gateau, dead whilst protecting their little princess.
Filius… less said about that the better.
"I'm still shocked that someone as strong as Rakan and Filius are actually dead." Eishun commented, sipping some sake from a saucer.
"Even the strong aren't invincible." Nagi reminded him whilst looking off into the distance. "Filius got taken out by the Mage themselves while trying to protect me from getting bodyjacked. Not even Master could stand up to that monster. And you already know how Jack died, you old codger."
"I do. Kurt told me. It's still jarring for that Invincible Idiot to just be… gone."
Kurt looked away, sighing heavily. "I still think that I should have done something instead of just helplessly watching him die."
"There ya go, bogging yourself down, mate." Nagi said consolingly. "If you jumped into that, you'd have gotten yourself killed too."
"I have to agree with Nagi." Al said with a sigh as he sipped his tea. "When opposing something as dangerous as an Outsider no one is safe."
Everyone made some sound of agreement.
"So don't be too hard on yourself, Kurt." Takamichi said, putting a comforting arm over the Shinmei-ryū swordsman's shoulders.
"I do have a question though." Eishun cut in, prompting everyone to look at him encouragingly.
"Why didn't Ranma-chan resurrect Rakan like she did the Phoenix People of Mount Fènghuáng?" The leader of the Kansai Magic Association asked. "I can understand her not doing so for Gateau and Filius. She didn't know them and they were dead for a long time. But she knew Rakan…"
"She tried." Nagi revealed, causing Eishun, who hadn't been there when the Outsider had made the attempt, to turn to look at him in shock. "She did it as a favor to Negi. But she wanted to be sure if they wanted to be revived first, she won't revive anyone who doesn't want to. So she summoned their spirits from their afterlives and all three of them refused. Apparently, they're all happy where they are."
The others all sighed in resignation. It sounded exactly like the kind of thing their friends would say. They, each and every one of them, were people who lived in the moment and were unafraid of death. People like that would never want to be resurrected.
"Guys." Al said, suddenly gesturing towards the plaza below where Ala Alba had gathered and were bowing respectfully to the obelisk with all the names of the fallen engraved on it that was erected during the ceremony earlier.
The surviving members of Ala Rubra joined them in bowing and offering their respects once again as well.
"I hope the next generation won't have to suffer the same tragedy we did." Nagi said as he and his friends looked at Ala Alba respectfully leaving the plaza.
"We can only hope." Kurt said with a tired sigh.
"Hope, Kurt?" Eishun said with a shake of his head. "No, we won't rely on hope. We will make sure of it."
"Agreed." Takamichi said with a nod.
"Ala Rubra has done more than enough already." Al added. "But to prevent them from suffering like we did, we will do everything in our power to make sure that they don't do anything more."
"Yes, we will." Nagi agreed and lifted his mug of beer to change the topic of conversation. "But for now let's get roaring drunk in Jack's memory. Want to join me?"
The others roared their approval.
Omake: Pokegirl Edition -Witness of Lewd World
Some time after she had completed her ascension by securing her True Name during her battle against the Mage of the Beginning, the young Outsider, Ranma Saotome, the Mage of the Abyss, found herself in a bubble reality in the Realm between Realms in the form of a blank void and observing with disgust a version of her home reality. And what a twisted, perverted iteration of her own world it was!
"What do you think, Ranma-chan?" Sukebe, the Outsider responsible for the creation of this disgusting mirror of her own world and Pokegirls in general, asked with a self-satisfied smirk. "Do you like it?"
"It's great." Ranma said with a polite smile, mindful that she wasn't ready for a fight with another Outsider.
Not that anyone looking at Sukebe would've guessed he was as powerful a being as an Outsider. He looked normal. Absolutely normal. He had none of the aura of power that behooved his status as an Outsider. Nor did he look like someone who had created something as perverted as Pokegirls and the sex focused dystopias they inhabited. He didn't look like a pimp. Nor a basement dwelling, neckbeard incel. Instead, he had the appearance of a slightly out of shape, middle aged scientist dressed in a polo tee, slacks, and a lab coat.
"It's a little too ahem! sexy for my tastes but it's um interesting? Yes, interesting!" Ranma insisted to the other Outsider whose ability to so completely suppress his aura spoke more about his strength than if he flared it.
"It is, isn't it?" Sukebe said, sounding overjoyed. Either deliberately letting Ranma's lack of enthusiasm go right over his head, or perhaps pretending to do so out of courtesy. "I am so glad you appreciate my little apotheosis gift."
"Thank you. It's such a uh, intriguing gift." Ranma lied.
"It's nothing," the Outsider in the guise of an unremarkable looking human said with a dismissive wave of his hand. "I've even deliberately left out inserting some of your friends so you can have fun doing it yourself."
"That's really thoughtful of you." Ranma said even as she thanked the Primals that at least some of her friends were spared the fate of being inserted into Sukebe's sick version of her world. "I appreciate it."
"Have fun playing with that universe, Ranma." Sukebe said with a smile as his form started to fade away. "I'm sorry I can't stay any longer but I need to go. New worlds to create, you know. So till next time, goodbye!"
Ranma just gave his disappearing form a polite wave. And once she was sure that Sukebe was truly gone, she plucked the sick little universe he'd created for her and shoved it deep inside her being where she hopefully would not have to look at it for a long, long time!
She had seen herself and Eva-chan in the sneak peek Sukebe had shown her and realized they would use that world eventually, but she hoped it wouldn't be anytime soon. That way she could give its inhabitants as long of a reprieve as possible. Who knew what depravities her perverted mate would inflict on the poor analogues of their friends that inhabited that blighted world?
"Why do all my fellow Outsiders have to be sickos!?" Ranma lamented sadly as she teleported home.
She desperately needed to cuddle with Eva-chan right now. She felt dirty and needed some time with her mate to cleanse her soul.
Done and done! Thanks to Nameless as always!
Ah, new works to make and harems to build. Truly life is hard for our protags after the big fight. XP Still, Asuna getting her elf fetish outed in the way we did was plain priceless and her becoming known as a fertility idol in the future? Ha!
Nameless: So here's the first chapter for the epilogue arc. Each of these chapters should be reasonably short. Not super short hopefully, but short. Hope you guys don't mind.
On another note, I hope you guys liked the hints of the far future we dropped in this chapter. We won't be writing all of those events alluded to. Some maybe, but not all. So we'll leave things to your imagination based on our hints instead.
E4E: It was nice to give Ala Rubra some closure too. Old men talk and speak of war. A tale as old as time. With magic and demiurges. A tale as old as time indeed.
You know what to do! Smash that review button and tell us what you love! No flames and peace off my peeps!
