Chapter 8:

The last of the children said their goodbyes to Rain and Leonard before leaving to have a new home and life with their new family.

Yazoo started looking around at the large table that once held children and had overheard hopes and dreams, he was interrupted from his thoughts as Leonard sat down and said, "That is, the last of them."

Yazoo looked at him, "What now? There is probably a large list of things you want to do now that you have the time."

Leonard looked at him and responded, "Not really, I'm content with my life and how it has turned out, those children have made me realize a lot of things in just a few short months. When they first came here I really didn't want to take on the tasks that I was given, but now that I have had a chance to see the world through eyes of a person with cause instead of a gaze that I always hated this world I can see is truly worth protecting, and I have six things to fight for and I will fight until the final showdown," looking at the six people around him, "I promise that you will be protected from everything this is my promise to you."

Kadaj looked at Leonard and asked, "You're leaving us aren't you?"

"I have served my purpose, I won't be out of reach. There is one thing that I do wish to do and that is to research my powers, rid myself of my own personal demons then I shall be whole and a decent father figure to you, but at this point I have too much that I need to fix with my own persona before I can raise children, but I will be back to get what is mine. I have to deal with things before my dreams come true, goodbye, for now, my children." Leonard stated before vanishing leaving the group.

Loz looked at his brothers and at the children, Kadaj looked at the surroundings, "He'll be back sooner than later." Yazoo stated as the group looked at him.
