AN: So, last night I finished the Epilogue, which means y'all are getting double posts every day until the end.

As always, thank you all for reading thus far. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to voice them.

The rest of the cycle was devoted to the eradication of the Humans upon the three worlds, whose names would be rewritten at a later date. As well as to the revitalisation of the land and a relocation of those within the Black Parade who wish to explore these new frontiers. These would then uncover many interesting artifacts, which are completely outdated by today's standards. Of which they can all be viewed within the Museum of Ancient History upon Azara's first continent.

Once it came to an end, and many had transferred their persons into the new land which was being watched over by a few Minour Gods, Sarah and I decided to take a trip around Terra. Where we were "guarded" by my Chosen, of whom simply desired an excuse to allow their adopted children to roam around freely throughout our world. Of course, how was I to say no, when even my own beloved wife had decided to side with their persons. This led to many hands, both clawed and skeletal, to slap against one another's palms as they cried out with glee.

Yes. I gave them their victory, but did not mind much of it, as we set out first towards the canyon where the Demon lord and her people used to reside. Whereupon Sarah did learn of how the Red Dragon had promised a child between us in the very beginning, and grew somewhat irritated by this little tidbit of information.

"When were you going to tell me this?" grumbled the Goddess, of whom glared at my Kitsune self as I prepared some tea beneath our bright day-star above.

"Tell you what, my dear Sarah?" I was, at that time, feigning ignorance as to what it was she was speaking of. For I had no true answer for why I did not make mention of the actions of my past self.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about, Ageless," she planted herself in front of my person with her hands on her hips, and bent forward to glower down upon my self.

During this time, she had opted to wear a more open sort of dress with iridescent colours radiating throughout its entirety. One that appeared to be made from two vertical halves which only covered the pair of fist sized mounds upon her chest that revealed the centre to the world. Not to mention that the lower half was simply cut in such a way that it covered only her front and rear whilst revealing her legs. What is more, upon her wrists and ankles were half a dozen gold bangles which clinked together with every move she made.

Yes. I could go on and on for decca upon decca-turns, but now is not the time for such things.

Instead, I simply sighed with a great look of content for one such as she as I stood up to embrace her. Of course, she did struggle as such a reaction was what she was not expecting. Also, judging by a few of the females' reaction, it probably wasn't the best response I could have given. However, being a male, and one with the mind of an Undead, I was not aware that such a response was frowned upon.

In any case, after releasing her from my embrace, I did lightly grip her arms whilst staring into her eyes, "I have no answer for you, Sarah. All I am able to impart is the fact that it happened so long ago that I doubt the Demon Lord will remember my person. Not to mention the fact that the False God more than likely removed such a memories from her mind after ejecting I and mine from the world.

"Therefore, I did not speak of such things. Understand?"

This then led her to frown, sigh, and nod her head a few times before asking for another embrace. To which I obliged her person whilst glaring at my Chosen. Of whom were watching a little too closely for my taste, and whipped their heads away once it became clear that I caught their persons. No. I did not admonish their actions, but instead simply sighed once more, as I did not know if it was in jest, or just to see what would happen between our two persons when Sarah found out about a very old promise to my person. One, in which, has never, and will never, come to pass.

After a short time, did we kiss and nuzzle into each other's fur for a few more moments, then released one another so that I may serve her some tea. Of which was, of course "The Flowers Which Bloomed In Winter", as it was one of my greatest accomplishments upon the world of Sol'anon. As well as my favourite flavour of tea, which became my wife's, too.

Once the tea was served, along with a few snacks from a basket I had taken from the kitchens within the Necropolis, we did wait for a time to enjoy the scenery around us. Of which consisted of a few scattering of trees along the right side of a small road leading towards the west end of the city. Yes. This was, technically, the Plains of Nu'Ohn, but with my person around, none need fear the patches of bogs hidden within.

In any case, this area contained a small forest full of small beasts which posed little to no threat to those of my Chosen. However, their own adopted children were another matter entirely. For example, a few of the littles ran screaming with fear from the area, and into the arms of their concerned parents as a pair of monstrous foxes appeared along the forest line. This, in turn, caused nearly all of the older children to launch an attack upon the creatures whilst I simply continued to sip at my tea.

On the other hand, Sarah was the only one who was worried about everyone. Even when blood soared through the air, and an arm of one of the boy-children landed next to her person, did she panic greatly. What was truly comical about all of this was the fact male trotted over looking for his arm, and upon finding it, lifted it high with a, "I found it," and charged back into the fight.

"Ageless," whined the Goddess, who slumped upon the ground to my left and hugged my side, "why aren't you worried about them? Aren't you the God of Families and Children?"

"Yes, Sarah, I am," came my reply as I wrapped an arm around her waste in order to pull her closer to my person. Which allowed my person to kiss her head as I continued with, "Which is exactly why they are having as much as they so wish to whilst attacking the creatures."

"What?" Her body leaned back in order to stare into my eyes with a wide and shocked gaze, whereas I simply chuckled.

"I am allowed to do as I wish to, you know this well, yes?" At her nod, I resumed my train of thought, "Well, the children require some form of entertainment where they could explore their own mortality without actually dying."

"You don't mean?" My lady wife's eyes grew even more so as realisation struck her mind as though she were a metal rod in a lightning storm.

"I mean exactly as you have just realised, my dear," my right paw pat her head slowly as I confirmed everything, "They're each an immortal."

*

"But why?" demanded Sarah for the third time as we each slowly packed up our items in order to resume our travel. Of course, I could have whisked everything away into a dimensional pocket, but there's no fun in ruining an important life lesson for the children. One which taught the children two ideas. That there aren't any shortcuts in life, and to always clean up your mess. This included the bloody scene left by their antics against the fox-like creatures, but was given to the Chosen in order for them to hammer in that part of the lesson.

My expression was one which spoke, "Shouldn't it be obvious?", as I replied with, "These children will continue to learn and grow with the knowledge of what can and cannot be tackled head on, even with the immortalities I had granted to them. Therefore, they shall each be exploring every avenue possible in order to come to the best conclusion.

"Not to mention the fact that nearly all of them wish to become an Undying when they're older, but that's beside the point."

"But," she began once more, but was interrupted by Shauu who was wearing a thick, white robe as was common amongst the Undying, and carried a pair of sleeping Tiger beastman cubs in her primary arms. Both of these children were male, and wore only a pair of torn, tan coloured trousers about their person. One of them was recognisable, as the child being held close to her right, metallic breast was the same boy-child whose arm had fallen close to I and my wife's position.

"Sarah, we actually asked our Lord High God for this blessing upon our children. If you're going to blame anyone, blame us for our selfish desires."

"But," spoke my wife once more, still willing to argue even though she was losing greatly.

"She's right, Sarah," chimed in Sia, whose body was covered by seven, clinging wolf children. Of whom had each held onto her body with fear during the beginning of the fight, but were now yipping and yapping with great joy as the skeletal Wolfwoman walked around. "We desired this for our children, so don't take it out on your husband, okay?"

"Fine," sighed the Goddess, who was none too pleased with being outmaneuvered by her friends. To which the other pair simply pat her head before moving away to tend to the rest of the children. Whereupon I did summon up a large basket and asked everyone to climb on in.

"Why?" came the skeptical query from my ever questioning wife.

"You are all flying with style towards the cavern which holds the Demon lord and her people." Of course, she was none too amused by this gesture, as I beamed a grin in her general direction. However, the others were all to happy to allow the children to rest comfortable within, and had to drag the Goddess into it due to the fact that she was simply being stubborn.

Once everyone was within the basket, however, my body slowly transformed itself into a great, shadow-scaled dragon with two pairs of wings instead of the standard. Whereupon I did flap my great wings until I gained enough lift to hover a dozen metres. This was enough for the next part in my idea, which came into being by way of tendrils of silvered energy flowing down from my four limbs, and attaching themselves to the corners of that which everyone was occupied within.

From here, I mentally spoke to everyone to hold onto something. For I then did lift the basket, and everyone within it, into the sky and towards our next destination.
