~ ZASTIN INC PRESENTS: EPILOGUE: A FAIRYTALE ENDING ~

(MUST LISTEN TO: "CLOAK AND DAGGER – WITCHER 3 OST" – FOR MAXIMUM EFFECT)


Written in the words of Zastin, First Knight of Deviluke.


With the passing of the scientist Ougi Tsunaru, the universe had once again risen above yet another tide of war and calmed sailed into an age of peace and prosperity.

At the turning of a new leaf, the Great King, and my dear older brother, Gid Lucione of House Deviluke, had finally saw the great potential that the orange haired human possessed, and placed all the faith he could muster into him. Not before long, the former human assassin, Yuuki Rito-dono, was groomed for the succession of the throne. And within the decade, Gid eventually stepped down, and the human had finally ascended the Devilukean throne, ruling in an era of peace he had fought for.

But it was not without its problems, though only initially. The common folk of Deviluke had objected to a human ruling over a kingdom of Devilukeans. But armoured with the strength of Gid, the wisdom of Queen, as well as the resourcefulness of his three betrothed, Lala, Nana, and Momo, Rito was steadily becoming the king that this peaceful galaxy sorely needs, though the Eagles fangs of yore were dulled.

Following Deviluke's example, the Memorzorian Empire also had a new king – the strong headed prince of Great Memozoria, Ren Elsie of House Jewelria, stepped up to become the king, succeeding his father Kaz, becoming the man that he was groomed to be. In good faith, the budding kings of both Deviluke and Memozoria made peace and extended their peace treaty indefinitely. They both knew it was the right thing to do, after all everyone has done to achieve the peace, they had to preserve it.

On the scientific front, Tearju Lunatique, the last surviving member of the EDEN organisation, quit her job as a teacher on Earth and once again perused her burning passion in the biotechnical sciences after Ougi's death, though nobody knew why. Lead by herself and a few others in her field, Tearju made strides within the scientific communities.

Eve and Mea, having reconciled their differences, also took part in Tearju's quest of redemption. Together, the Trans Weapon duo aided Tearju and sought to apply transformation technology to medical applications. On their love's behest, the Trans weapons also strayed from their path as assassins, now occasionally picking up contracts out of habit. Nemesis however, bid farewell and was set on her own way, determined to discover the purpose of her existence in the universe.

With the horrors of galactic wars behind them, Doctor Ryouko Mikado and the Assassin Black had finally retired to a secluded location, where they spent their days in each other's loving company, at peace. It was long overdue for the both of them. They spend the rest of their days reminiscing the times they shared, the trials they went through, and loved one another, quite passionately I'm told.

Yuuki Mikan, upon her coming of age, had decided to stay on her home planet. Unlike her brother, she remained near her heritage, rediscovering her family's history and her hidden abilities, learning and perfecting them. Some say she can look up at the night sky and see as far as Planet Deviluke clear as day. She and would often visit her brother on Deviluke, and she would advise on personal matters, though lecture might be a more apt description.

As for myself, I have passed down everything I knew, every skill I possessed, to my young human apprentice, Kujou Rin. Under the influence of Rito and I, she instead set off on her own path, travelling the galaxy with two swords on her back, defending the final frontier on Deviluke's behalf. Soon word of the icy swordmaiden had spread throughout the Milky Way. Yuuki Rito and her would meet in the night periodically. And what they would do together is beyond me.


The end


Author's note: hope everyone is having a great year! so I've finally had the time to properly conclude this story with a proper epilogue, with a new style I'm just experimenting on. Short but sweet, a fairy-tale styled ending to the tale.

But for those still enthralled with lore, you're more than welcome to hop over to my new story, "Trident", a prequel to the Lone Eagle where the story of Gid, Zastin and Sephie during the galaxy unification war are chronicled. Please head over and give it a read and support it with reviews and follows! :D
