Epilogue

"So you two did it. You saved everything in existence. You surpassed expectations and then some. So tell me Chloe, why did you decide to join Vicente?" A completely white being that gave me a similar feeling to what I remember of my mom.

     "Because I love him. I don't need any other reason than that."

     "Vicente, why did you sacrifice yourself? Did you want to be a hero?"

     "I don't even want to associate with that word. I'm not a hero and I won't ever be one. I'm human and I probably became something worse during my beginning days in the Capricorn Guild. I guess a little part of me back then wanted to give it another shot, so when I got it...I didn't want to let it go. I wanted to try again. To live a better life, but I'm no hero. I would've watched the entire multiverse get destroyed if I knew the people I cared about were safe. A hero would save everybody just because it was the right thing to do. So who are you?"

     "I guess you can say that I'm the opposite of Dave. I'm Creation. Dave is like my...brother. He's gone now, but the idea or concept of destruction can never cease. We are just as bound by laws as you are even if we seem to have more power." 

     "So why are we here? Vicente and I are already dead."

     "While I did indeed care about my brother, he will reform as something better. I want to give you two the choice. Do you want to live out your lives in a secluded planet? Your offspring will be able to travel to and from this planet, but you won't. Will you take this offer?"

     "I think we'd like that, right Vicente?"

     "Yeah, sorry about the whole killing your brother thing."

     "And that's our story. Thanks for listening, so what'd you think?" I asked.

     "I loved it Daddy!" Angela, our 5 year old daughter, said.

     "I loved it more! So Daddy, does that mean you became the strongest?" Vicente, our 7 year old son, asked.

     "Yeah, of course! Your old man is pretty great." Vicente looked a little down for a moment, "Will I ever be able to measure up? Why didn't you put me as Junior or II?"

     "It's because you're you and I'm me. You're not going to make the same mistakes as I did. You will make mistakes since you're a knucklehead like me and stubborn like your mom, but you'll do great. Besides, you're my children!" I got a punch to the head, "Who are you calling stubborn?"

     "My beautiful wife, who else would I call stubborn?" The kids went to play outside while I stayed inside with Chloe.

     "We got our happy ending after all. It feels almost like a dream."

     "Yeah, but it's not. We made our own story here and now we get to see theirs. I miss those knuckleheads sometimes, but they're here in my heart and in my memories. I got more than enough right here with you. I love you, Chloe."

      "I love you too." We kissed, as the sun set on the secluded planet. It would one day become an island where Vicente and Angela would depart from. 

[100 Years Later]

     "Immortality is kind of cool. It's a bit sad, but I enjoy living here with you." Chloe said, as we laid back and relaxed.

     "Our story will converge and continue forever, so how about we just leave it off here? We got lots of time on our hands, so what do you want to do?"

     "We can finally leave, so how about we go on an adventure?"

     "Sounds good to me." We kissed before setting off once more to see the world and how it's changed. This story is over, but we'll keep living their lives.
