Beyond the Stars

Epilogue

Third Person's POV

People were silent for a while after Angeline jumped. The wind stopped blowing, the thunder stopped roaring. It seems like Cassiopeia calmed down already. After a minute, they heard a loud splash of water and there they saw Angeline unconsciously lying on the hands of a goddess. Yes, the goddess saved Angeline from drowning. They could tell that it's Cassiopeia because it's visible to her left hand that she's wearing the ring Angeline was holding a while ago. She's floating without wings and there's a constellation of Cassiopeia drawn on her clothes on her chest part. She took a glance at all the people. The people start kneeling as a sign of respect. She glared at the Aggasis and struck a bolt of lightning upon them.

After that, she disappeared with Angeline in her hands. The royalties cried after that incident. "I'm sorry." The queens simultaneously said. They were crying as they hugged each other. The kings shook each other's hands as a sign of apology. "You know, the first time I saw her even though I clearly don't know her, I felt some kind of attachment to her. It makes sense now. She has Hiwaga's face." Queen Marikit chuckled but still crying. "I saw Sinag's eyes on her. I didn't expect that she'll be related to us." Queen Barbara added.

"She's a brave girl to save our kingdoms. At a young age, I can see how courageous she is." King Crisanto said joining the conversation of the two queens. "She took it upon our children. She's Sinag's and Hiwaga's daughter anyway." King Arnel also joined the queens. "I can't believe our children are so brave. They're both so courageous." Queen Barbara said. "More courageous than we could ever be." King Crisanto smiled faintly. "Now I can see why the goddess rewarded that family with her ring. They deserved it." Queen Marikit added. "I'm sorry to the both of you. Marikit and Crisanto." King Arnel apologized. They all stared at the skies to gaze at the stars.

"Hiwaga, we're sorry if we got in a way for your happiness. If it weren't for us you're might still alive wherever you are, please be safer and happier than when you were here with us." Queen Marikit said while looking at the skies. "Sinag, my child, I know our last interaction isn't that well and you resent me for that. I'm sorry for disproving Hiwaga to you. You proved me wrong not to hate the other side. Please forgive me and your father." Queen Barbara said.

In the other group, Carmen and other Angeline's friends were shy and didn't know what to say but eventually, they talked. "We're sorry." They all said. "Sorry for punching you and pulling your hair." Carmen apologized to the others. "It's okay, at least you healed us, I'm sorry for pinching your arms that resulted of having wounds. Luckily, Angeline can heal." They all laughed but sighed after. "Remember when she looked so clueless on our first day of school." Blessica reminisced which made the Danilo and Alon laugh. "You made friends with her because you find her innocent and demure right?" Alon asked which made Blessica nod and laugh. "We're wrong though. She isn't demure. She was tough and brave." Danilo said which made them all sigh.

"When we first saw her, she was lost in Caspian. She even thought that our territory is Therondians. She looked so shocked when we told her that we are Therondian's enemy but we let it pass since she looked so demure and I can't see the anger on her." Cedric said that made Baron hit his head. "Just admit that you like her." Cedric blushed which made them all laugh. "I hope she's glad now that we made up." they all agreed. "Friends?" The Therondians asked which made the Caspians nod to an agreement.

The next day, Angeline's friends decided to visit the cliff to pay respects to Angeline's death but they saw a familiar figure standing at the edge of the cliff. Could it be? It's impossible but they shouldn't be wrong. They know exactly what her figure is. They slowly went near the familiar figure but her face is facing the opposite direction. They wanted to scream but were afraid that the figure might fall.. again. "Angeline?" They calmly called her and she slowly turned her back and smiled at her friends.

"ANGELINE! YOU'RE SAFE!!" They all went to hug her. Angeline hugged them back. They kept on asking what happened but Angeline refused to tell because she promised the goddess not to tell anyone what happened. Her friends were upset but they chose not to make it a big deal because they missed their friend. After all, they thought she was dead.

"Wait a minute, you made up?" Angeline asked which made all of her friends smile. Angeline smiled as well. She was happy that her friends made up. After a little catching up on what happened, they decided to go home. On their way, she saw the kings and queens having lunch with each other. They paused their chit-chats when they saw Angeline. Angeline smiled at them. They were crying for joy as they ran towards Angeline. They hugged her tight and bombarded her with questions. Angeline just chuckled.

"You're like your father. Always chuckle when he does something wrong and doesn't want to explain." Queen Barbara told Angeline which made her laugh. "You laugh just like your mother." Queen Barbara added. Angeline smiled. Nothing could ever satisfy her more than seeing the two kingdoms made up. "I'm glad you fixed things your highnesses." Angeline told them. "We're your grandparents, call us Grandma and Grandpa. You're royalty as well." Angeline smiled shyly after what she heard.

"It's hard to get back at our place though. The barrier is such an inconvinience." They all sighed after that statement but Angeline just had something brilliant in mind. After a few hours, the people in the respective kingdoms are standing side by side within the barrier. Angeline was standing at the base of the mountain where everyone can see her with a some kind of walkie talkie in that world. "As the heiress of both Kingdom Caspian and Kingdom Therondia! I declare that this barrier shall be broken!" she said then the people start breaking the barrier with any weapons and powers they could use.
