Well, here ends my very interesting journey and story of what had happened to me. I know some of you are itching to find out what had happened, so I'll tell you.
When we defeated Zurk, Skye was returned back home and he had found himself in bed. We tried to make him see that it was all a dream that he had, but just like my pal Othera, he was impossible to turn aside! However, due to what he had experienced, he became rather famous for his stories and his new book that was entitled 'Life in the Underworld: A revelation'. Now of course there were the sceptics, but that's how life was for him. He however did something very wonderful for me. He made a statue in my likeness and even managed to create a full day whereby they honoured me in song and dance. They would also travel to my country and even visit my grave and thank me, but I thought all that was too much, even for me!
"He saved the world from a demon that would have destroyed us all! He deserves at least to be recognised for what he did."
I also found out that my history became a subject that people would talk about and discuss it everywhere in the whole world, and it amazed me how wonderfully it was being told. I was suddenly in what you call the 'Big Leagues' where my name held as much importance as those famous men and women that even came after me!
In my part however, I finally managed to reach home where I knew I belonged, after so many years! I was thrown for a very large party that even now it is still going on! I finally got to be reunited with my family and my best friend, and I got to meet baby Malique!
"Look papa, he's gone bald!"
However, the best experience came when the gods called me into the Holy Court.
"Enter great warrior! Today you have made us proud by what you did! You faced your destiny and conquered one of your greatest enemies! For that, we shall bestow upon you the greatest honour only you can have. Step forward and receive your price."
Before everyone that day, I received a very large and brilliant crown that even surpassed Queen Melina's and my mother's, got myself a very large pair or wings like those of my mother and the queen, A very beautiful robe of white, gold and navy blue and to top it all off, I was made a member of the court! I had truly reached the level of a god and I lived as one! I was thus made god over all humanity, thus my official title is Malique, Protector of Humanity. I had indeed been rewarded the greatest in all the heavens! I was made for my very own throne, right beside Frey! Things couldn't get any better!
Anyway, I had just remembered the message I was to deliver to Lozi, and I soon found him within Zurk's palace staring at nothing, doing nothing. I then slowly took hold of his shoulder and like being aroused from a very deep sleep; he suddenly turned to look at me.
"Malique? Is that really you? What has happened to you? You look different!"
"Lozi, your mother sent me to give you her message. She said that she will always love you and has always loved you. She holds no grudges against you, and she thanks you for that one gift that you had given her, the gift of parenthood. She is grateful that she got the opportunity to hold you in her arms, and she loves you for that."
"Thank you, Malique. Tell her I have always regretted what I had done to her, and now that even as she's told me that beautiful message, at least even while I'm here I will never forget it. She has given me a sliver of hope that I will hold onto for eternity. Forgive me too, Malique, for what I had done to you. You deserve what you have, and I'm happy for you. You may now leave me be, but always know that you have been always dear to me. Thank you again."
When I let go of his shoulders, he returned back in that pitiful stare but I could tell that his particular stare at least had happiness in it, and I too was happy for him. For my allies, I reduced their punishment and told them that what they had done for me well deserved. After their period of punishment, I allowed that they were to leave the city forever and roam wherever they would have wanted to go, helping people where they needed help, and they were very grateful.
Well, that's everything I got to tell you, but don't forget one thing: you may be suffering pain and heartache for a very long time, but if you hold on to your faith and never give up, everything will turn out good for you.
I'll be seeing you soon, right? Still, goodbye and I wish you a very long life ahead of you!
THE END.
