While unnecessary, I simply couldn't resist writing this bit of fluff for the end

A Moonlight Legend

by Atchika

Epilogue

            He awoke with a start and his heart was still pounding.  After taking a few deep breaths he gradually takes in his surroundings.  He looks up at the clear blue sky and realizes he is lying in the middle of large field. Cautiously he sits up and looks around until his gaze settles on a small child whose pigtails seem to stand on end.  The child is playing peacefully at the edge of a brook and hearing the rustle of the taller grass she turns and seems momentarily startled when she sees him.  The child's eyes widen and she opens her mouth he first thought to scream.  Instead she smiles broadly showing off her missing front teeth.   "Grand Papa!!" she shouts and bolts like a rabbit in his direction.  He raises an eyebrow but with each step the child makes toward him, he remembers the past as it becomes more solid more real.  He remembers this child, when she was born and that her mother, his daughter, was home with his wife.  Memories reserved for him come flooding back and settle into place.  Holding his arms outstretched the child launches herself into them with practiced ease and as he gathers the small girl to himself his memories of his world become complete once more.
