Epilogue: Sound Life


And so it ends, my life.

So... On the first night,

a pebble falls to the earth from somewhere.

It wasn't what I thought it would be. But then again
nothing in life seems to follow the 'right' path.

So... On the second night,
The pebble's children hold hands and sketch a waltz.
Sound life

My life was filled with sadness and hate. But then
when I think about the people who brought light to my
soul, I can smile and say it was a good life.

So... On the third night,
The children of the waltz cause ripples on the face of
the world

Sara, Alex, Abby, Vash, Knives....

So... On the fourth night,
the children of the wave spray the shore.
Sound life

I hope...

I hope that I have made some difference in the world.

So... On the fifth night,
those shards strike the face of the earth over and
over.

I hope that my life has not been a waste.

My journey has ended but the road goes on.

So... On the sixth night,
those signals bring travelers together.
Sound life

Good-bye Vash, good-bye Knives... I love you forever.

I wish that I could see you one last time. I wish...

So... On the seventh night,
a weightless ship races to the sky.

Alex.

For so many years I have been without you, Alex. I'm
coming now. I can't wait to see you again, your smile,
your laugh. I believed in you, still do. It brought me
happiness then, and even now.

So... On the eighth morning,
a song from somewhere reaches my ears.
Sound life

I'm going-- I'm going home....

Well then... A song that has recorded everything
echoes to the new sky.
Sound life

A/N: And so it ends.

Ahh, this has been a real joy to write, and I believe that my writing had improved because of it and of course all the help I got from foo.

I will now set to work on a new fic, post-series, called Nova. I suck a summaries, so I'll just leave it at that and let you read it when it comes out. I hope that all of you have read this have enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

I don't know what originally compelled me to write a story about Rem's life before the series, but she had always seemed like the kind of person who went through a lot to get where she is now. And when I thought about enough I began to wonder, 'exactly what happened,'

As my summery for this story says (Courtesy of the almighty Foo) "Rem Saverem was always Vash's rock, his pillar of strength, but how much did he really know about her? How much did we? This is the story of the woman behind Vash, this is Rem Saverem, before the great fall."

I wanted her to be a person who had problems, emotional difficulties that every one goes through, I can't really gauge how I did in this aspect but I can only hope I did well enough to make it interesting.

Of course this is only my interpretation of her life, Lady Shadowcat has one too that's pretty cool.

Well, arrivederci, till next time.
