"And so
ends the tale of the Great War.
After Aljin
was defeated, the armies withdrew. Rescue parties were sent out to find the
chosen ones and their companions. Lord Wufei Chang, keeper of the Life stone,
destroyed the last remnants of the Dark Crystal by pouring the shards into one
of the many lava pools.
Suul’mor’doth
itself is not the same. Although it carried the strong whispers of evil, this
did not stop the dwarves for recognizing it’s potential. The free peoples of
Erthe gladly allowed the dwarves to keep the land and the Elvish kingdoms
gladly sent Elves to help the dwarves cleanse as much evil from the land as
they could. This work is still being done today, for evil was allowed to endure
there for centuries.
And as for the
histories of the heroes we have met; we read them now. Treize or Rimon, was
reinstated as the Wind Telmari and his brethren and Erian welcomed him back
gladly. Rimon was loath to leave Erthe, for he left his heart behind there.
Erian was aware of this, but told him, ‘Despair not, for she whom you love will
join you.’ Indeed, when the Lady Une was an old lady and death was near, Rimon
and his sister Talia came to her and guided her to the Blessed Realm which few
mortals are invited to enter. There, she and Rimon were finally happy.
Queen
Mariemeia was restored to health and there was great rejoicing among her
people, but nothing compared to the joy of Lord Sercan, when he found that his
betrothed was indeed alive. They wed and even now rule the Skye-borne.
Lord
Peacecraft and his wife, Lady Lucrezia were vastly relieved to have both their
daughters back in good health. However, they were much saddened by the
affection Relena had developed for the mortal mage Heero Yuy. In the end, they
gave reluctant permission for their daughter to marry him and she then gave up
immortality to stay with Heero forever, even in the Halls of the Dead.
Duo and
Deathscythe wandered the wilds for a long while, till they came to the realm of
the Mountain elves. There, Hilde and her family welcomed them and they stayed
there long. Deathscythe was released, allowing him to travel to be with his
kin. Duo and Hilde were married and when her parents made their own journey to
the Blessed Realm, they made fine rulers.
Trowa Barton
brought Midii Une back with him to Cainterah, where the Queen Catherine greeted
them gladly. After Midii had time to rest from her ordeal, Trowa made it know
that he intended to make her his wife. Midii accepted with gladness. Queen
Catherine hoped that marriage would make her brother stay closer to home, but
Midii simply accompanied him on his travels, staying only in the city when she
was with child.
Queen
Catherine herself married Prince Yeled of Ronan. Together, they had many
children and made Cainterah a beautiful and prosperous kingdom.
Robert Une
became the captain of the Queen’s guards and never married. He was known for
his valor on the battlefield and his good humor off of it.
Quatre
gradually recovered from his wounds and traveled back to the Golden Wood to see
his family. He did not stay long, but some say that his visit helped heal the
breach between himself and his brothers. Quatre returned to Cinq, and stayed
there happily for many years. He and Dorothy wed a few years after Relena and
Heero had their first child. Now, they rule Cinq.
Jaran returned
home to his people a hero. He married a maiden named Shira and they bore Avi
the Noble.
Lord Wufei and
Lady Mieran returned to their country, and did their best to rebuild. The
people of Tanar requested that Lady Meiran become their ruler and she accepted,
as long as her cousin would rule by her side. Sally Po of Ronan visited often
and used her healing powers to help. Lord Wufei made her his wife and they bore
Nissim, who became the new ruler of Tanar after Lady Mieran passed away.
Kiiron passed
away in the fifteenth year of Queen Catherine’s reign. His grand-son, Hiiron,
married Ima, sister of Jaran.
And so ends
the history of the Great War and all those who had a hand in Aljin’s
destruction. Let not their stories nor deeds be forgotten."
This
manuscript was scripted by Lady Marinen, second daughter of Lord Quatre and
Lady Dorothy, wife of Prince Omar, son of King Duo and Queen Hilde, in the
seventieth year of the reign of King Nissim of Tanar and the thirtieth year of
the reign of Queen Channa of Cainterah.
