The Legend of East and West

Epilogue: The Next Journey

(And this is the finale. Thank you so much for reading and enjoying it! I know I didn't include every single Hetalia character, but this was honestly a lot of fun to rewrite and explore again. I am so happy that so many of you enjoyed it, and I cannot wait to see how many more characters will join this series or actually debut properly. Thank you for enjoying it. )

         China happily ran through the hallways of his palace, excited for today. It had been five years ago since the palace was destroyed by a malicious darkness that threatened to turn the world into a darker image. He prepared everything and anything for his guests by making sure the palace was clean and ready for their arrival. He prepared everything for them and made sure the guest rooms were ready. He could hear the many bells of ships tolling in the shipyard.

"Now, do not destroy anything!" England's stern voice echoed as his other three older brothers and Australia ran to the guest room.

New Zealand laughed as he walked behind a stuffy England with France right at his side. Seychelles ran in with Hong Kong behind her. China happily ran and embraced Hong Kong in a tight hug, much to Hong Kong's annoyance. He tried to break away until Macau hugged him from behind! Portugal only laughed at the sight with Spain only holding a smile.

Spain commented warmly, "It is wonderful to see la familia reunited after so long, si?"

Portugal agreed as Monaco joined them with a delighted expression on their features.

"Ah, what a loving family" Monaco commented with a bright expression as Scotland laughed at her statement.

They turned to hear England and France arguing with each other as Ireland egged them on with Wales and Norn trying to stop their fighting as a gleam of wedding bands were placed on their fingers.

China exclaimed in delight, "You're married! How wonderful!"

"Hi everyone! It is us! The Nordic crew is here!" Finland shouted as Sweden followed him while he carried their son, Sealand.

Denmark yelled to announce his arrival, "And we have gifts too since we are the best!"

Norway only sighed as she stomped her foot on Denmark to cause him to cry out in pain. Iceland rolled his eyes before joining Hong Kong to exchange stories as Greenland went to try some of the delicious food being served to them.

"Thank you. He's being annoying," Bulgaria remarked with a snicker as he, Romania, and Moldova arrived.

Norway calmly greeted them before conversing with Romania in a pleasant manner, much to Romania's enjoyment.

Moldova held a bright expression before asking in delight, "Miss Norway, are you going to be my big brother's wife?!"

Romania's face was as red as the flames he could cast with Bulgaria only laughing at them.

"Do they always have to be so loud?" Kenya complained despite the smile on her expression, "Because that seems to be all that they do. I cannot understand how Seychelles and Egypt put up with them"

"Because in a sense, they are family to each other" Uganda advised her, "I am sure it is the same for us as well, right?"

She only sighed before nodding her head in agreement as Zimbabwe, Ghana, and South Africa ran towards the buffet table and couches to relax after a long voyage to arrive in Asiand.

"Hey! Make sure to share! That is not just for you!" Botswana shouted at them before groaning at their nonsense.

"Ah, let them be" Cameroon said with a grin as he waved at France and Monaco who bowed and curtsied to him, "It is not every day that we are treated to a wonderful feast. We should enjoy it while we can"
