~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before Ebany and the others left Bell Meadow, they went to the cemetery where Marron and Thorliyen were buried together. Narinder brought flowers to their graves and placed them down. He was sorry he couldn't see gem flourish and prosper in Noonveil, but he was happy to know they led happy lives thanks to Rose. Looking to the side, he could see the graves of their children and grandchildren, their descendants were all with them. It warmed his heart to see that.

Narinder remembered a song Rose had hummed once. It was a message of sorts, to say goodbye to someone long passed. Ebany asked him what it sounded like when he mentioned it. Narinder didn't remember exactly how it went but he hummed what he did know. Ebany knew it right away! She had sang it at Sister Evelyn's grave after she accepted that the sister was gone. If Narinder wanted, Ebany would sing it. She knew that it wouldn't just be a message for the lambs but for Rose. Rose was the reason they got to live and now she was gone...

Ebany knew two versions of the some and thought about which one would be better suited. It didn't take like to pick version two. The first one required more than one voice and the genre of music it was in... wasn't her style. The second was much more fitting for the occasion. Ebany summoned a magical keyboard and warmed up with a couple keys before playing the first few notes. Once satisfied, she tapped her amulet and played on the keyboard.

(A/N: I do not own See You Again by Charlie Puth or this version. I changed the lyrics a bit to fit the story.)

♪"It's been a long day,
Without you my friends,
And I'll tell you all about
When I see you again.
We've come a long way
From where we began,
Oh, I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again...

When I see you again...

Why'd you have to leave so soon?
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to leave me
When I needed you the most...?
Cause I don't really know how to tell ya,
That I'm feeling much worse.
I know you're a better place,
But it's always going to hurt...

Carry on...!
Give me all the strength I need
To carry on~!"

Ebany's magical gift emerges once more as something started to happen. Narinder saw magic flow from her and through the cemetery. It wasn't long before Narinder could see something... He eventually saw two beings... two lambs! Narinder looked closer and saw that it was Marron and Thorliyen! Memories of them!

The two lambs were gathered by the others that Rose rescued. They no longer wore their robes of the Old Faith, but regular clothing. They helped the lost lambs get settled in what Bell Meadow used to be. A refugee camp that would grow into a successful city...

OoooOooooh~"

Time passed within the memories as Narinder saw the town be built and Marron and Thorliyen growing closer until they became mates. He saw them pray to him, giving their devotion to him... After everything that happened, they were still loyal to him. Rose would appear to them and make sure they were okay. In her arms was a baby, her daughter, Rosa. Marron took the baby from Rosa and held her close. It was just like in her diary...
