Harmonic Sync

Chapter 32: Epilogue

                  

Seven years have passed since Luke, Asch and Ion have all come back and the world is turning into a much better place. There's no wars and everyone is working together to choose their own paths.

Sync and I got married two years ago and it's been nothing but happiness for the whole time. We had decided that we wanted to return home to Grand Chokmah to meet with his Majesty to discuss coming back to the castle. Since the time we had left we had created a place for replicas to live and had taught them how to live in society, as well as helped Jade finish the research for replicas that would be able to give them memories of their originals if ever needed to be recreated, though they have decided that only in a state of emergency would new replicas be created. Finally, we had established a new Order that is now being led by Fon Masters Ion and Anise. Luke and Natalia I heard canceled their engagement and Luke married Tear, while Natalia ended up marrying Guy, strange really.

"Are you ready to meet with them?" Sync asked me as he grabbed my hand gently. I nodded slightly.

"To be perfectly honest I am a little scared to see them after seven years, but I have to do this." We walked inside the audience hall and I saw my mother, father and sister all looking at us with welcoming smiles.

"Zora, Sync you've returned home." My mother said lightly.

"That's right, Your Highness." I said bowing slightly, Sync following my led.

"Please, don't you dare bow to me again. My daughter shouldn't bow to her own mother. And Sync don't you do it either. But from what I hear the two of you were wedded two years ago?" I nodded and Sync touched my hand lightly.

"I see; I guess I shouldn't have pressed so much on that." My father finally commented. I chuckled.

"Oh father  it was what I was telling you all along that you didn't understand." He nodded and rose from the throne. I felt my body tense a little as he made his way over to us. He touched my shoulders lightly and then finally pulled me into a hug.

"Welcome home, my beloved daughter." I felt like I was going to burst from all the tension releasing from my body as I melted into the warmth of the hug. My father had finally accepted me as his daughter, he finally saw me.

"Thank you, father..." I hugged him back and everyone cheered from all around us. I flinched as Luke, Natalia, Jade, Tear, Guy, Anise and Ion all appeared from the doorways around us.

"What are you all doing here?" I asked confused.

"Well we came to welcome you home. I mean none of us have seen you two really since your wedding." Natalia said lightly and I rolled my eyes.

"That's kind of the point, we were busy trying to help others. That's kind of the point we made in staying away from Grand Chokmah." Jade sighed.

"But that doesn't mean your friends didn't miss you, that I didn't miss you." I smiled lightly.

"You're right, I'm sorry. Thank you all for coming."

And that's how we spent the night talking and laughing about old stories and new stories. It was as if none of us were ever apart. It was strange being in my old home once more but I knew I would get use to the feeling after some time and besides I wasn't the only one who had to get uses to living in a castle, Sync was never raised in royalty, he has a lot to learn before he will be royal enough for my parents. But that's what Lily, mother and father are here for, we have a new life ahead of us that is only getting started and I was so grateful that I got to spend it with all these people around me. There's only sunshine from here on out.
