I figured since Laxus got to start our story, I should be the one to end it. Makes sense, right?

Laxus: Hold it, Shortie. I should get to end it. I have to finish what I started.

Page: But it's called Howling Sun - Page's Tale. Not Laxus' Tale, Page's Tale. Look, let me just do a quick epilogue then you can come back. Deal?

Laxus: *sighs* just don't screw it up.

Page: You wound me, Blondie, with your lack of faith in me.

Laxus: Just get it over with.

Page: *sticks out tongue* fine!

King Toma himself oversaw the trial of the Lunar Knights. As we soon discovered, Hikari was the only member of the Lunar Knights who had been a part of all those attacks from the Dark Guild fourteen years prior to their reappearance. All the other original members had either died or gone deep into hiding.

In hopes of less severe punishment, Hikari ratted out his old guildmates, who were not very happy about that. Unfortunately for him, Hikari had to face the same life sentence his former teammates did. The newer members got a lesser punishment, only twenty-five years in the dungeons. But no parole or time off for good behavior.

After the word got out about Howling Sun aiding Fairy Tail in taking down the Dark Guild that had caused so much chaos and bloodshed, word spread about our reputation, and we got a lot more mission requests.

Which was great for business. With all the money we made, we were able to expand our Guildhall and even got some new members. Lynn had been ecstatic at the thought of new recruits. There weren't that many, but I had always liked the idea of a small Guild anyway. Fewer people meant fewer names to remember.

And, of course, we became permanent allies with Fairy Tail. Anyone with brains realized pretty soon that if you messed with one Guild, the other would come in fists flying to help out.

Being friends meant that more often than not, we'd spend most of our days hanging out with the members of Fairy Tail. Lucy and Levy would come by to read books and talk to Lynn, who was thrilled to have met her cousin.

Elisa would sometimes bring Gray and Juvia over, or she'd go over to the Fairy Tail guild to see them. Charlie preferred to talk to Cana, Mirajane, Lisanna, and sometimes Erza to go over different strategies, or just to talk about who knows what. I never asked.

And me? Well, I spent the first month or so after the whole Lunar Knights business getting reacquainted with Arashi. We had both changed so much but still got along. Kind of. We were still siblings, after all. It took a while, but eventually, things became "normal" so to speak and it was like we'd never been separated in the first place. For the most part.

I also got to know the other dragonslayers pretty well. Sometimes even Sting and Rogue, who Natsu introduced me to, would come and we'd all hang out. Gajeel was alright, except when he sang. And Wendy was so adorable. Sometimes the exceeds would hang with us as well, and I'd make Rose sit with me since I was the only one who didn't actually have an exceed.

Well, Laxus didn't either but he didn't want one. He'd sometimes join the group, although he preferred to stay away from Happy and Natsu lest they try to start a fight.

What happened to the two of us, you might ask? I finally got that date I wanted. We'd gone to this cafe I wanted to try, but the service was terrible, it started to rain when we left, and we ended up having to duck into some bookstore to wait out the storm.

Yet it was somehow the best date I'd ever been on (and the only one at the time). We ended up getting to talk for hours. Okay, I did a lot of the talking but I still got to know Laxus a lot better. We didn't go on a lot of dates out in public. Instead, we normally just tried to spend time together alone. It was kind of hard with four roommates (Arashi moved into the Howling Sun Guildhall and began to learn healing magic) to get any privacy but we managed.

The easiest way we got to be alone was when we went on missions. Sometimes it was just the two of us, while other times the Thunder Legion would accompany us. I came to love all of them, even if Freed was still a stick-in-the-mud and Bickslow used way too many inappropriate jokes.

Evergreen was the only reason I managed to put up with them. It was nice to have a girl in the group, something she agreed with entirely. She was like a big sister, as cliché as that might've sounded. I would listen for hours as she complained about Elfman, and she'd do the same when it came to me and Laxus.

Laxus: And what exactly do you have to complain about, Shortie?

Page: Don't get me started; we'll be here all day.

Laxus: Yeah, well what you aren't telling them is how many times you make me apologize for absolutely nothing.

Page: Did not! Anyway, as you can see, we still argue from time to time but it's worth it. Isn't that right, Sparky?

Laxus: When you're right, which is very rare, you're right.

Page: Shut up. Now, it took a lot of whining, pleading, and bargaining to-

Laxus:- to convince me to go out with you, we know, we know.

Page: Come on, Blondie! Let me finish the epilogue!

Laxus: Fine!

Page: Thank you! It took a lot of whining, pleading, and bargaining to get Arashi to let me go out with Laxus. Jk, he didn't care. Laxus rescued me, so my brother felt like he 'owed' him or something.

Laxus: I thought you said he liked me.

Page: Liked you, owed you, tomato-potato.

Laxus: That's not how the saying goes.

Page: It is now. How will our story end, you might be wondering? I'm not sure. But if we could take on a Dark Guild with ease, I'm certain we can do anything.

Laxus: Only with you, Sunshine.

Page: See, reader? He does like me!

Laxus: Never denied that.

Page: Because of that, I'll step back and let you end the story. How does that sound?

Laxus: Why can't we both do it and get it done with?

Page: Sounds good to me. 1.

Laxus: 2.

Page: 3!

Laxus & Page, simultaneously: The End! Or is it?

AN: This may be the end of Page's story (and Laxus', I suppose) but it doesn't mean it's the end of the Howling Sun arc. After all, we've only really covered the tip of the iceberg. There are three other members (four if you include Rose). Lynn, Charlie, and Elisa. So don't think of this as the end. It's more like the beginning of a bunch of new adventures to be told. Idk when I'll post their stories, but I do plan on continuing this eventually. Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed it Until we meet again...
