Here we are, everyone! The final chapter! It's been such an amazing journey!

All everyone could do was stare as Hera hurled the magic at Fiyero. After a few moments, the goddess undid her spell on them and Elphaba crumbled to the ground next to Fiyero.

"Yero?" she whispered, stroking his hair away from his face. "Fiyero, please wake up."

The Vinkun groaned and slowly opened his eyes. "F-Fae?"

"I'm here, Yero. I'm right here," Elphaba said, knowing that she didn't have a lot of time left.

"I would say your goodbyes now if I were you," Hera said casually.

Artemis turned and looked at the queen of the gods. "Hera, was this really necessary?"

"It wouldn't have killed her. It would have inflicted so much pain on her that she would have been begging for death," Hera said. "But it would kill a mere mortal, obviously."

"And there's no way to save him?"

"Not unless I make one."

"Which you won't?"

"I have no reason to do such a thing."

"Fae," Fiyero whispered, his voice so soft the green girl barely heard him.

"I'm here," the green girl whispered.

"I… I love you."

Elphaba gasped softly. He… he loved her? He couldn't have meant that. They had only known each other for a few days. She looked down at him, gazing into his eyes, which were starting to become clouded over, and saw love for her in his eyes.

"I love you, too… Yero my hero," Elphaba whispered.

The Vinkun smiled softly as he reached up and gently stroked Elphaba's cheek. Elphaba melted against his touch and soon found herself closing the gap in between them. Her lips met his and she immediately felt something wash over her. She couldn't describe it, but she pushed it aside as felt Fiyero weakly kiss her back. She pulled away just as his last breath escaped his lips and he went limp in the her arms. Time seemed to stop for a moment. Everyone's eyes rested on the dead ex-Vinkun prince being held by the green girl.

A tear slowly slid down Elphaba's cheek and landed in between Fiyero's slightly parted lips. Another one followed and pretty soon, Elphaba found herself sobbing.

"Elphaba," Maia whispered, placing a hand on the green girl's shoulder.

Elphaba shrugged her off and Maia stepped back, waiting for the green girl to finish her tears. Sure enough, Elphaba stopped crying and, wiping her eyes, looked up at Hera. "I'm sorry," she whispered.

Hera simply stared at the green girl. "You are?"

"You have no reason to be sorry, Elphaba," Artemis said. "You did nothing wrong."

"You're one to talk."

"What do you mean?"

"Aren't you going to punish her for breaking her vows and falling in love?"

Artemis looked back at Elphaba, who bowed her head. She knew that she deserved some kind of punishment for going against her vows, but for some reason, the goddess faltered. "I don't want to give Elphaba something that she doesn't deserve."

The green girl looked up, daring to be hopeful.

"Elphaba, do you wish to stay here and live out the rest of your life with your family?"

Elphaba looked at her mother and sister before looking at her friends. Carisse, Seraphia, and Maia gave her an encouraging smile. Galinda gave her friend a slight nod. "I… I do," Elphaba finally whispered.

"I will remove your immortality and you will continue to age normally from here-on-out. I will also alter your memories so you won't remember the Huntresses or your life with us. I will give you memories with your family that would have happened if things were normal. Are you sure this is what you want?"

Elphaba paused. She wouldn't remember her friends? Carisse, Maia, Seraphia and Galinda were such good friends.

"You want this more than anything, Elphaba," Seraphia said. "Stay with your family."

"Will… will we be safe?" Elphaba asked, looking from Artemis to Hera.

Artemis sighed. "I originally kept this a secret from you because Hera agreed to let her grudge go since you wouldn't remember anything."

"But once you started to find out more and more, that made that agreement null and void," Hera said. "But I promise to refrain from trying to kill you or your family."

Elphaba looked at Hera for a moment. "Thank you," she said gratefully. She looked down at Fiyero. "What about Fiyero?"

"We'll take care of him," a male voice said.

Everyone turned around and saw two men, both with an aura, though one was much stronger than the other. One wore a golden toga with a shinning silver clip and the other wore a deep purple toga with a grape pin. Everyone, except Hera and Artemis, bowed to the two men.

"Zeus, Dionysus, what are you doing here?" Artemis asked.

"We're here to give my son the reward he deserves," Dionysus said, a certain sadness in his eyes as he walked towards his son's dead body. He said a quick blessing and stood up, allowing Zeus to take his place. The king of the gods waved his hand over the demigod and he slowly began to disappear, leaving a bunch of tiny stars in his place. Zeus picked up the stars and threw them up into the sky.

"He'll be forever immortalized in the stars," Zeus said.

Dionysus nodded, avoiding Hera's gaze as he walked away. The king of the gods sighed before approaching his wife.

"Don't you dare," Hera hissed.

"You don't even know what I was going to say."

"You were going to tell me to apologize."

"Well, I do think you owe Dionysus an apology for unnecessarily killing his son."

"It is not my fault he got hit."

"Hera, in the words of the moderns, 'you need to chill'. You take everything too personally and things like this happen."

Hera simply glared at her husband.

"Please, sweetheart. I don't want to go through this right now. I already had to deal with Hades thinking that we were all still searching for Elphaba after Artemis said that she would do it on her own. He came to Olympus thinking that he would just walk in and take over. Obviously, he didn't succeed," the head Olympian said with a soft chuckle.

The goddess simply rolled her eyes before waving her hand, disappearing from sight. Zeus groaned before he followed suit, secretly knowing that he would have to deal with his very angry wife sooner or later.

Artemis turned back to Elphaba. "Are you ready, Elphaba?"

"I am," the green girl nodded.

"Wait!" Galinda shouted. She hurried toward her best friend and wrapped her arms tightly around her. "I'll miss you so much, Elphie! You were the bestest friend I've ever had!"

"I'll miss you, too, Glin," Elphaba smiled sadly, returning the hug. "And that means a lot, considering you've had so many friends."

The blonde made a noise that sounded somewhere in between a laugh and a sob, and let go so the other three huntresses could say goodbye to the green girl.

"We'll miss you," Seraphia said as she gave the green girl a big hug.

"We'll never forget you," Carisse said. "Even though the feeling won't be mutual."

Elphaba laughed softly.

"Ditto what they said," Maia said, joining the hug.

"Not one for sentiment?" Carisse asked.

"I'm not good at goodbyes. That's about as sentimental as I'll get," Maia shrugged. "Elphaba understands, right?"

"Of course," Elphaba said, though she rolled her eyes.

Maia mimicked her and all four girls shared one final laugh together before Elphaba turned back to Artemis.

"You won't remember Fiyero either. Are you sure you want this?" the goddess asked one final time.

"Yes," Elphaba said after a pause. She didn't want to forget Fiyero, but deep down, she held onto the hope that she would always know that he was watching over her from above.

Artemis nodded and waved her hand over Elphaba's head. The green girl closed her eyes as she began to feel lightheaded, which she suspected was Artemis removing her immortality. She opened her eyes and saw Carisse, Galinda, Maia, and Seraphia all smiling sadly at her before everything went black.

"She will be fine in a few moments," Artemis said as Melena rushed towards her daughter. She waved her hand and created a large orange sphere, which she threw into the air. It broke into millions of tiny specks of dust and rained down on the town.

"Did you just alter everyone's memories?" Seraphia asked the goddess, watching as Nessarose and Melena blinked their eyes due to the dust.

Artemis nodded. "It will be much easier this way."

"So… all's well that ends well," Carisse said with a nervous chuckle.

The goddess simply stared at her huntresses.

"Not quite?" Maia asked with a sheepish look.

Artemis slowly shook her head. She waved her hand and all she, Galinda, Carisse, Seraphia, and Maia all disappeared.

"Mommy! Daddy! Come on!" a little boy shouted as he ran out of the back entrance and into the garden.

"We're coming, Nanuk," Elphaba laughed, coming out hand in hand with her husband of six years, Alton. She had met him when she was twenty. He was quick to accept her skin and they dated for a year and a half years before he asked her to marry him. She, of course, said yes immediately and they were married seven months later, welcoming Nanuk into their lives the following year.

The four year old giggled and turned around, jumping into his father's arms. The man gave a grunt, but quickly chuckled, ruffling his son's hair. "The stars are coming out!" Nanuk laughed, pointing up into the sky.

The family laid on the grass, with little Nanuk in between his parents, as they gazed up at the stars, just like they did every night.

"Do you remember what that one is?" Elphaba asked her son, pointing to a constellation.

"Andromeda," the little boy giggled.

"Right. And what's that one?" Alton asked, pointing to another star pattern.

"The big dipper! That one's easy," Nanuk said proudly.

"And that one?" Elphaba asked, knowing that her son knew the answer as she pointed to a constellation that looked like a young man standing in a heroic pose with his hands on his hips.

"The Hero," Nanuk said. "Tell me the story again, Mommy."

"Yes, tell us the story again, Mommy," Alton chuckled.

Elphaba rolled her eyes, but smiled as she looked at the constellation of the young hero. "Once, there was a young hero boy who loved this girl very much, but she didn't return his feelings for her. So, in order to prove his love for her, he sacrificed his life to save her. The gods, taking pity on him, decided to immortalize him in the stars forever, so he can watch over her every single night."

"And does the girl know that he's watching over her every night?" Nanuk asked.

"I'm sure she does, sweetie," Elphaba smiled, tickling her son. "Whoever she is, wherever she is, she's one very lucky girl."

"Do you think there's someone watching over us, too?"

"Everyone has someone watching over them, Nanuk," Alton said, holding his son's hand.

"Even Grandma, Auntie Nessa, and Herar?"

"Even them."

"Even all of Oz and beyond?"

"All of Oz and beyond, and even beyond the beyond," Alton confirmed.

Nanuk smiled at the answer and reached for his mother's hand. Elphaba smiled and took her son's little hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. Nanuk squeezed back and they continued to look at the stars. Alton taught their son new constellations, but Elphaba was still looking up at 'The Hero' constellation. Something about it seemed very familiar. She couldn't place her finger on it, but something about it comforted her. Almost as if the person immortalized in the stars was watching over her. A gentle breeze whipped past them and she smiled, softly closing her eyes.

From his eternal place in the nighttime sky, Fiyero smiled as he looked down at the green girl and her family. My Fae, he thought as he watched over them, forever watching over them and keeping them safe.

The End.
