Epilogue
Nel Zelpher reported to the queen with a wary glance toward Lasselle, who looked as disagreeable as ever. He was always trying to state how his ideas were better and everyone else was wrong. It annoyed both her and the queen most of the time, but no one would mention it. The queen was to assign another mission-- of course she was planning on taking it, even if it meant that she would have to go through Lasselle's objections for the billionth time. He never managed to do much but irritate anyone around there anyway. When she passed by Elena at the hallway, she felt an unspoken connection with the other woman. Elena had also sacrificed her love as well, for the sake of Airyglyph and Aquaria's alliance. Her love was also from the other country, and royalty at that. Elena simply told her not to spend so much time doing missions when she should be out doing things only the young could do. Nel simply smiled at the comment. Elena was always saying she wasn't young, but she sure wasn't old. Plus, the missions were the only thing keeping Albel Nox out of the redhead's mind. Maybe, someday, she would end up having to meet up with him again....

On the other hand, Albel Nox was traveling down the dungeon's hallway, frankly irritated that his men had mysteriously disappeared while he had been busy doing what he had to do for his kingdom as well. Sure, he didn't care much for the men, but he owed them enough to bring their corpses out of where ever they had disappeared to. At the appearance of Romero, he merely scoffed. Anything and anyone he fought in this world would be no match for him after honing his abilities against the evil Executioners. He shrugged Romero's comments off, only gaining irritation when his men rose up against him-- walking corpses. Out of all the things to do...
What a drag.
Albel unsheathed his sword, very wary toward the monsters. Of course he wasn't planning on dying or even getting hurt in the least. If he did, what face would he have to show when Nel came to visit him in the kingdom of Airyglyph? More for her sake over his, he stepped forward, initiating the attack....
