Epilogue
The sun was setting on Dreamland, turning the sky a brilliant red. On the outskirts of Cappytown, a lone figure, having recently said his goodbyes, trekked down the path, stopping only to glance back at the castle in the distance. He rubbed his nose, and continued on his way, heading west, headband blowing in the light breeze.
Five others were going the opposite way, two flying ahead on tiny wings, and the other three walking along the path together, talking animatedly. As they went over the last hill, two figures saw them, and waved. The three sped up, laughing, and went to embrace the two older ones. Two took the old ones' hands, and strolled back to the castle. The two flying creatures waved and flew off, through the trees. Only one small, rounded figure was left, standing at the crossroads, indecisively turning left and right. Something must have caught his attention, because he suddenly set off along another path, excited squeaks breaking the quiet of the woods. As he turned the last corner, a small hut came into view. He jumped up and down in ecstasy, and hurriedly stumbled over to it. He ran around it, to the back, only tripping over one fallen branch on the way. Finding what he was looking for, he dashed up to his friends. They were gathered around what looked like a small grave. The three armoured figures parted to let the small one through. He gazed at the memorial, then smiled. It was carved out of the rock that once stood at the top of the hill. There was writing on it, and though he was too young to read it, he knew what it said. Then, one of the figures looked up at the hut. Another figure was emerging from it. She held a tray, with three mugs on it. The three armoured ones took them from her thankfully. They all turned back to the memorial. It read:
With friends we fought a common foe,
And though you fell before the end,
Your strong will made our resolve grow.
Darkness fell, and the universe we cleansed.
In memory of the Star Warriors.

A/N: I'm done…I'm actually done! It took me about half an hour to come up with that poem and I still don't like it. (thanks for the help, Parrks :D )If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them. How was the ending? Love it? Hate it? Want to burn me at the stake for leaving Carida alive?
I don't care! (just kidding, please tell me) I'm finally done, after more than two years! Yahoo! –dances-
Thank you so much for staying with me til the end! Hugs all round! XD
