Two years have gone by since the incident in Crasa De Vasa. Callan and his younger sisters are living peacefully with Hannah and Lana now. Lana ended up getting engaged to Ashton and their wedding is coming up in a couple of months. Callan has been doing a lot better with his emotions these days.

Sometimes he leaves the forest and goes to the old home to remember his times with Noah. The times when He still thought Noah was nothing but a dog. Even though so much time has passed, Callan's trauma still remains. However, being with Elysia and Rai helps to calm down his nerves. Hannah helps him as well. Today was Callan's 15th birthday, which meant that it was also Hannah's 15th birthday.

It was early morning and Callan was still asleep when his bedroom door opened. Then suddenly he was awakened by the screams of his sisters.

"Happy birthday, big brother!"

The two yelled it together in unison and Callan woke up quickly and smiled a bit.

"Thank you guys."

Callan gets out of bed and his sisters lead him into the large dining hall in the palace. On the table is a large breakfast feast. Hannah, Lana, and Ashton were all sat at the table. Hannah smiles when she sees Callan come into the hall and she waves at him.

"Good morning birthday boy. We have pancakes, sausage, eggs, pie, omelet, and whatever else you could ever want."

Callan sits beside Hannah and Rai and Elysia take their seats as well.

"Happy birthday to you too."

Everyone started to dig into their meals and talk amongst the table. Eventually, Callan had finished and asked to be excused. He made his way to the top floor of the palace in a room with large windows with a view of the entire Crasa De Vasa city and the forest surrounding it.

In between two of the large windows was a coffin. Inside, lies Noah's body. Noah had asked for Callan to keep the body stored, so he did just that. Callan walked over to the coffin and opened it, staring at Noah's face. He started to have memories of when he was just a boy and Noah was still Spot.

"Hey, Noah. It's my birthday. I'm 15 now. Um...things have been hard without you these past two years. Still, I'm able to make it through. Honestly, I'm surprised that your body is still in good condition, considering you've been dead for so long..."

Callan looks out the window and then back at Noah.

"Lana is getting married soon and I think I might try shooting my shot with Hannah this year. Wish me luck. Elysia and Rai are really enjoying the palace and they both have a lot of new friends. You know, I really miss you. It's been really hard. But...I'll make sure to live my life the way you would have wanted. I'm just glad we were able to end all of the conflict together."

Callan puts his hand over Noah's and sighs. He lifts his hand off his body and goes to close the casket, but suddenly a hand stops it from closing.

"Not yet."

Callan's eyes widen as he sees Noah open his eyes and speak.

"It's not over yet."
