Epilogue

It had been four months since Futen returned to the Divine Realm. Most of the Signers and their companions had all forgotten about Futen, or they had known as Yusei Fudo. The only exception was Luna.

Yusei had been replaced by Jayla Sito. But Luna always seemed a bit sad when she was around Jayla, confusing the rest. But Luna refused to tell them of her knowledge of Futen. She already missed him enough, and the cobalt blue eyes Jayla had didn't help. Neither did the deck she used or her dueling style that near mimicked Yusei's.

At the moment, Luna, Leo, and Akiza were at Jack, Crow, and Jayla's apartment. Luna was sitting to the side silently as it was the anniversary of Futen's departure.

"Luna, is something wrong?" Akiza asked noticing the young girl's distant expression.

"It's nothing," Luna replied.

"Luna, every month on this day you give this downcast atmosphere," Jayla commented. "I don't think it's nothing anymore."

"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you," Luna responded. "After all, since I believe, only I can see his true form."

"Believe in what?" Jack asked.

"The gods and goddesses of this world. All of them," Luna answered.

"Luna, there is only the Crimson Dragon and the King of the Underworld," Crow told her.

"That's not true!" Luna retorted. They went wide eyed, shocked at her sudden outburst. "They usually go by their Japanese names. And one of them was our friend. Before he returned to the Divine Realm."

They heard a bird squawk and they looked outside to see a large, black bird with a yellow chest.

"I've never seen a bird like that," Leo commented.

Luna, however, looked at his real form. He gave her a small smile. "That's Futen," Luna told them. "His animal form, at least, in your eyes. He's the God of Wind." They looked at her shocked. "He got trapped here in a human, mortal body for eighteen years. He was the first person to help us beat the Dark Signers."

"Luna, that was Jayla not some god," Akiza responded.

"Just as he had warned us, when he returned to the Divine Realm, everyone and all records of him were forgotten and… the memories and himself were replaced by someone else," Luna told them shocking all of them.

"Are you saying I took over the place of a god?" Jayla asked. They looked at the bird and were shocked when it gave a nod.

"How come you remember him, then?" Crow asked. "Why you alone and not the rest of us?"

"Ancient Fairy Dragon believes it is because I'm connected to the duel spirits which are connected to him. As Stardust Dragon will forever be connected to Futen, or we first knew him as Yusei Fudo," Luna explained. "And… because I believe, I can see his true form."

They looked at the bird shocked. Soon, though, all but Jayla began to realize the connection they felt to the bird. Slowly, they caught a glimpse of Futen in his true form. He gave them a soft grin before flying off. But a wind blew through the window and guided down a bracelet to Luna. It had a blue swirl as its charm with a strong, white string that wrapped around Luna's right wrist and locked to it with a gem clasp. It gave a quick glow before vanishing.

They all heard a whisper pass through the air, "Luna, I hope you can stay strong and become the envoy the gods and goddesses need."

"Yusei…" Luna muttered and slowly touched the charm.

"Envoy the gods and goddesses need?" Jayla repeated. "Does that mean you're some messenger of the gods now?"

"I never thought I would actually see a god other than the Crimson Dragon," Akiza responded. "For a moment, I saw that bird as a actual person. He smiled at us."

"And then he flew off," Crow added. "Luna, were you really telling the truth about him? That he was a god who got trapped here for eighteen years and became our friend?"

She nodded. "And the last we ever saw of him was him vanishing just after we defeated Goodwin," she replied.

"I can't believe we forgot about him," Jack responded. "And you're still the only one with true memories of him." Luna looked at him sadly.

"At least we know about him now," Akiza told the girl. "We'll help you get people to believe in the gods again, too." The girl looked at them shocked while they all nodded.

"Thank you," she responded. "I appreciate it." They smiled at her and nodded.

"Now why don't we start with Mina and Trudge?" Jayla suggested. "I'm sure they're connected to this Yusei as well. Well enough to see the truth." Luna gave a small smile as they all nodded.

For Luna, today was supposed to be the anniversary of Yusei's leaving of the mortal world. But she found today was the day of a new beginning.

Okay, it's done! Now, don't freak out about Yusei not coming back for WRGP arc or anything like that. I'm planning on writing a sequel eventually (most likely when my other stories are done). But there will be a sequel to continue this small series. I promise!

Well, with that in mind, I'm going to go work on my other stories which I hope you read and enjoy! I also hoped you enjoyed this story. Let me know what your thoughts are of this story. I hope to write to you again!
