Golden Stars

Epilouge

Vladimir's POV

Everything had worked out just as it had meant to be. I thought, pacing the length of my room in delight. Everything will most probably go as planned if I keep these children in my grasp.

I had been planning this for years. How I would finally do what I had always wanted. Even if it meant reliving my most horrible memories from time to time in flashbacks that slowly edge away at my sanity.

The towering castles of crystal, the sceneries so unreal they looked like a painting.

I remembered the Lost Cities in vain, contemplating what I had lost on that day I had manifested.

But now I have learned from my mistakes. I have grown from the past. I thought bitterly. As long as I have all my artifacts safe, then everything will go as planned, and nobody will be able to stop me.

I turned around then and saw my crystal ball still on the table.

That.... Vision though, I thought, what could that mean? Will everything fall apart like what happened with Diana?

I refused to think about my conniving daughter for another second.

I have thought about her enough for one day. Whatever a day is anymore.

But maybe, if I keep these children and the crystal ball in my hands, and manipulate this.... Conflict the way I need it to be, then all will be well.

And I may finally be freed from my prison.

I then imagined being free.

The grass, the trees, the sky.

The rivers, the oceans, the lakes.

Maybe I'll find myself looking at a dark sky full of stars and the moon glinting in the blackness.

Like I used to do.

But it was all up to them.

And not just my fate, the fate of the world.

A/N

And there you go! That's the end of Golden Stars!
