《The Warrens》Epilogue
Advertisement
Goodbyes are the worst of all. Some goodbyes you can be prepared, but some just happens all too sudden.
My siblings and I are in front of the caskets of our mother and father. They are currently being honored by a twenty-one gunshot salute or something. Then, the American flags that were draped on their caskets are folded and given to us.
After the burial, it was only I, my siblings and Caleb left in the cemetery. I tried my best to stop my tears from falling and I hugged the flags that were entrusted to me by Nis and Niche.
"I'm sure they'll be happy to wherever they're going. I mean, they're together you know." Nis said out of nowhere.
"Maybe." Niche seconded.
"They're probably watching over us already, laughing at the faces we're making." Nico managed to crack a smile.
"We'll live, just like they wanted us to." I also said, trying to crack a smile like Nico did.
On the way to our car, Nis suddenly stopped, which made all of us stop too.
"Actually, Mom has a message for us. I recorded it, when she was stopping Orebil."
We all went to our home, the one in Long Island. The house was renovated (thanks to the effort of the CIA), and it looked brand new, like it was never assaulted a few weeks ago. We all sat in the living room. I noticed Caleb was gone, he was probably trying to give us some privacy.
Nis was hitting keys in his laptop, and then:
"Kids. I love you so much. I have a feeling your father and I wouldn't make through this." this made me gasp. "If we won't get killed by the crossfire, the poison Dr. Collusus injected the both of us with, will." they gasped. "Niche, continue being the responsible older sister you are. Please be there for your siblings when they need you."

Niche started crying.
"Nis, my boy, you are the one who inherited my love and passion for machines. Please continue being the smart kid you are. I’m sure you’ll be a great mechanic/technician/ inventor in the future. Even greater than you are now. And dial down the flirting, okay?"
Nis managed to smile despite the tears running down his cheeks. I could hear mom's struggle on the background duringnher fight with Orebil.
"Nico, don't underestimate yourself. Be confident of your skills and talents. There’s so much more in your talents I’m sure you’ll discover and polish. Continue being the bright ball you are to your siblings and everyone you care about, okay??"
"Yes mom." Nico said.
"And lastly, Nica. Please don't blame yourself after all this. It's not your fault. You were just in the wrong place and the wrong time five years ago. You were a just kid, you can't do a thing about it, but please cheer up. Live your life to the fullest. Be free to choose your own path."
The tears I had been holding back streamed on my face. My mother. My father. They were both gone, and mom's message was just way too sad.
"Remember when you guys asked me which one I loved the most? And I answered no one? Nico even cried after I said that. That was because I love the four of you equally. After all, you're a set. The quadruplets that was given to me and George. The gift we will cherish even in the afterlife. I love you guys."
We heard Orebil shout in the background, then there was an explosion, and everything went static.
We cried our eyes out. Even more so than my siblings did during the burial. The four of us hugged each other.

The four of us never really go along in the beginning, but with the sudden turn of events, we the Warrens, were unified.
After everything, we tried settling back to our old lives. Even without our parents, we had Six and Seven watching over us as our guardians and godparents.
Niche continued being a secret agent fo the Interpol. Tracking and destroying remnants of Libero overseas. But she still comes home.
Nis became an official mechanic and inventor for the CIA. He was always praised for his works and all that. And I think he took mom's advice about dialling down the flirting. He had not brought a single girl to our house. But I doubt he can easily stop that habit.
Nico started handling big and international cases in the FBI. Sometimes, even partnering up with the CIA and Interpol. N became more famous than ever.
And as for me, Six recruited me to the CIA. Instead of going to prison for all the lives I've taken, I have to work for the government to make up for it. She said she did what she could as the new Director of the CIA, but it all comes down to the chain of command in the government.
Sometimes, the four of us would be sent to a mission together. A joint force of CIA, Interpol and FBI. But of course, with our relationship, chaos will be on our wake.
Also, did I mention Caleb and I started dating? He was a great guy. And Six offered him a deal. After he graduates, he will officially be a part of the CIA's medical team.
So all's well, ends well. I'm sure mom and dad are watching us with satisfaction somewhere up there in heaven. Or down there in the Elysium. Who knows?
But then again, we're The Warrens. Our normal day is always dangerous. And that's something we get to live every day.

As he takes his last breathe his life flashed before his eyes , from an early age he had been like a sponge soaking in all the knowledge around him, science, history, culture, literature, and even military strategy he absorbed it all. But as his life was coming to an end he scorned all his knowledge, what was the point of knowing everything when you weren’t even able to protect yourself or the ones you loved. As the boy closed his eyes for one final time,he laughed at how blinded he had been about the world and people and thought that if there was indeed a next life he would obtain power, power to protect himself and his loved one.

8 392Our Shattered Realms
*This is a learning experience for me so please keep in mind that I am attempting to work on some of the issues brought to my attention early on. However I haven't yet gone back to redo the early chapters.* Less than two days ago every piece of electronics in the world stopped working for more than two hours. The death toll was immense. Hospital equipment failed, cars stopped in the middle of the street, planes fell from the sky, and homework was lost at the worst possible moment. We found out that it was just the flicker and hum of The System warming up. Now we see the true cost of our new world. A Dark comedy that focuses on a few of the many people who aren't stuck in a high level dungeon when our world is translated and joined to Our Shattered Realms. This is my first story that I have published. I welcome any criticism that you have for me. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy!
8 218Unto Dark
A man of cripplingly ill mind, bridled with the spirits and regrets of the past. Wade Pierce trudges through each day of his monochrome existence, only as penance for his sins. Such a man is abruptly decamped of this world courtesy of unapologetic forces, left stranded in a realm filled with unknowns. Armed only with his potent yet fragile intellect, Wade advances into this new abyss, as he attempts to rewrite the wrongs he has committed. Plagued by vile beasts, self-righteous Gods, and even his own seething darkness, the cracks in his mind begin to spread and a dangerous, newfound power bubbles beneath the surface. As the world grows darker day by day, this unfortunate journey begins ------------ I suppose rectitude dictates that I should state any themes worthy of noting here. First of all, this story is not a sunshiny one in the slightest. Since it is listed under the psychological and mature tag and not the comedy tag, that shouldn't be a surprise. Next, morbidity is a factor and general apathy towards human life. All of these are common themes amongst other writers, so nothing new there. The story also contains consensual, and non-consensual sexual activity, although I have tried to be as tasteful as is possible for someone like myself. Finally, the pace is drawn-out, and the language is magniloquent at times. Not to mention, the chapters are quite lengthy. Don't expect to read this halfheartedly... Other than that, enjoy the story... There's nothing more important than that...
8 141The Bracelet I Got Was More Than I Bargained For

Thanks to some peer pressure Andrew reluctantly agrees to join the experiment. The friends are soon on their way to Calorin but Andrew notices feelings coming from the bracelet, ones that want nothing to do with the strange man.

Author's Note:This story is a sidequel/prequel to Artifice: Tools of the Gods. As it only has one or two connected characters there is no need to read one or the other to understand them.
