Epilogue

479 Years, 8 Months Later- Yusei's POV

It was hard to believe it had been nearly four hundred-eighty years since Keeo and I became gods and nearly twenty years over that since we first met as kids. It was extremely hard for both of us when we watched our friends get old and die centuries before us; though just before Akiza died, she handed Keeo's necklace given to her by her late mother back to the current Crimson Dragon. And despite the pain of losing our friends, time passed and it slowly got easier. And in this time, I had made a name for myself as the nameless God of Memories and people had actually began to believe in deities a bit again.

Keeo had been choosing the new generations Signers when needed. It was surprising how many times in the past four hundred-eighty years that new Signers were needed to defend the world from at least one danger.

And when it came to the twenty-first year before we both faded into dust, Keeo had our daughter and son. Even Alteria didn't expect such a thing, and when she looked into him, she realized the boy was going to take my place as God of Memories. The girl we named Hikari and the boy we named Akimitsu, both of which meaning light that we knew they would shine one day.

We knew we had to give Hikari to a human family so she would gain the human experience in order to choose the right people for the coming generations of Signers if they were needed to be called upon in her time. Akimitsu would be able to stay with us until we died but would also need to gain experience in dealing with humans.

Right now, though, I was with Keeo as she held Hikari in her arms. We both didn't want to leave her without us, but she had a job to do and we would see her again face to face when it was time. And we would watch her while taking care of Akimitsu and working as deities to see how she grows.

"Keeo, it's time," I told her gently.

She nodded slowly and stood up. We both transformed into our half morphed forms. We flew around to the family we knew would take good care of Hikari and raise her well. The new parents were unable to have children of their own despite desperately wanting one, so we knew they would be best to take care of our daughter.

We landed on the doorstep and Keeo gently set our daughter on the doorstep. Keeo took her necklace and wrapped it around the baby's neck as her mother did similar to her. Hikari looked at her confused and Keeo kissed the baby's forehead.

"Goodbye," she whispered and held my hand tight in sadness.

"We love you, Hikari," I told the baby before taking off with Keeo. We both heard our daughter's cries and Keeo tucked herself into me as we flew. "It's okay, Keeo," I whispered to her as she cried when we returned to our home in the Realm of Deities. "We did the right thing. For her and for the lineage of the Crimson Dragon."

"I know, it's just…" she stopped though she was calming down.

"We'll watch her and we both know she'll be alright," I whispered stroking her hair. "Besides, we still need to focus on raising Akimitsu."

"I know," she agreed looking at me. "I just wished there was a way to raise her with us and have her still learn to live like humans and learn enough from them to choose good generations of Signers."

"I know you do, and I wish that too," I agreed. "But even if there were an idea now, it's done. All we can do is watch and love her from afar." We turned to look at Akimitsu who was playing with a some hanging fabric stars above him. "We still have him. And we have each other. You're not alone to deal with this like the past Crimson Dragons. You've got me and Akimitsu. We'll be here until we die and we'll stand by you until we die, okay?" She nodded. "It'll be okay, Keeo. I promise."

"I know," she agreed. We both turned to Akimitsu again as we heard his stomach rumble a bit. She smirked and walked over to feed him. "You eat so much. Like your father at your age." I laughed lightly at her comment.

"How would you ever know that?" I asked.

She smirked and turned to me. "I just do," she answered. "Come on. I think it's your turn to feed him." I shook my head in amusement, though I was happy to see her back to her usual mood.

Today may have been a sad day of leaving our daughter, a day where we learned we were bound to everything since the beginning of our lives: Each other, our children, time, our duties as gods, and one day leaving one of our own to another's care.

But today was also a day of a new start. A new beginning to be bound to.
