Epilogue

Hours After The Final Battle

Lloyd's POV

Rotating my ankle nervously, I realized that this was the leg I had broken only hours ago. 'It healed itself. Maybe that happened when I went all gold and stuff...'

I was sitting in the apartment, trying to relax. My fingers kept playing with the bottom of my t-shirt, twisting the fabric.

"Lloyd?" My father asked, making me look up. He smiled a little, walking over to where I was sitting. Standing up, I hugged him again. "Son, I wanted to talk to you."

"Me too, dad." I said, stepping back. "About when Skales kidnapped me." The temperature of the air in the room dropped. "You made me honestly believe that you didn't care about what happened to me!"

He reached out, placing a hand on my shoulder. "I did it to protect you. My hopes were that the three-day window would give the ninja enough time to save you." He said, looking down. "Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way."

Crossing my arms over my chest, I sat down on the couch, leaning back. Dad sat next to me. "When I got to the bay, and saw that they still had you, I knew I had to think fast."

"They came close." I said, looking my dad in the eyes. "To finding me. At one point, they were only about fifteen feet away from where I was being held."

Dad gave me a strange look. "But they didn't check where you were?" I shook my head.

"By that point, Skales' had hypnotized me. He made me move away from the window I was in front of. Just so they wouldn't see me." I said, my hand clenching into a fist at the thought of how helpless I had been. The way I had been incapable of saving myself.

My father noticed my clenched fist. "Every time I did something he didn't like, every time I thought something he didn't like, he'd cut off my breathing!" I could feel my anger rising. Taking a deep breath, I calmed down. "If the final battle had never happened, he'd still have control over me."

"So he's gone now?"

I nodded. "When I was fighting the Overlord, I felt whatever the link was that let him control me snap." My hand unclenched, and I smiled. "Where are the Serpentine now anyways?" Dad shrugged.

"Who cares?" He said, waving his hand in the air. "They're gone. That's what matters."

"Yeah." I said, watching the sun peek out from behind clouds, lighting up the apartment. "Who cares."
