"We will no longer come in your way, oh great two." Zues spoke.
"Yes, we have thought about it and when we reflect upon it, it's our fault. As Gods who were given the power and duty to protect this realm, we failed. Everything is in chaos and it can no longer be back to how it was. Having to kill Izanagi and Izanami will not bring or do us any good and we are also ashamed that we even thought of killing the two deities who created everything including us." Omoikane-Hime continued on.
"But know this, once Izanami destroys Izanagi, everything in the realm including your fragments will be gone." She further continued.
"But, Izanami's heart is no longer beating, Omoikane-Hime." Dania said in response.
"Yeah, what do we do about it? Pan can still feel her powers within him and is having a hard time controlling both his and her power altogether." Izanagi said.
"Pan, you must know that once you leave this realm, Izanami will perish forever. Which means Cosmo will turn to dust with her existence completely forgotten. I guess it is because you made it in the nick of time that her soul still remains." Zues told Pan.
"Anyhow, we have to get this done quickly." He continued on.
"Though most of the children ended up in the void, I must say that the three of you have been more than brave. Though Tanaki, may completely disappear from both worlds, I hope you'll remember him time and again."
"Does that mean, Dania will no longer be with me?" Keith asked.
"I'm sorry my child, but all the fragments will disappear with only their souls to linger around." Zues replied.
"But, but that's not fair." Keith started to cry.
"Its okay, Keith. Every meeting will always come to an end but it is us who decides whether we let it end in a good or a bad note. I'm glad I met you, though you may be so young you've taught me far greater things. I cannot thank you enough for creating me and giving me this chance at living and spending my time in this journey. I'll deeply miss Cosmo too, that brat needs to get back and figure out what she wants with her life." Dania said smiling but yet tearing up at the same time.
Omoikane looked at Zues and the rest of the Gods and nodded her head.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your goodbyes but, I must warn you that we need to revive Cosmo before her soul is destroyed." Omoikane-Hime said.
"What do you mean? How can we do that? And what do you mean before her soul is destroyed?" Izanagi asked in surprised.
"Athena, did not approve of this decision and said that Izanami needs to be gone forever along with the underworld. Though we tried to convince her, she had already made her way to the Yomitsu-Kuni to destroy Izanami's soul." Zues replied.
" I can't believe she calls herself the Goddess of Wisdom. I always knew I was wiser." Omoikane smirked.
"Pan, the rest is all up to you." Zues said looking at Pan.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"The only way to save Izanami before Athena gets there is to revive her by sacrificing both your soul and your power."
Pan smiled.
"You knew that this would happen right?" Raijin Sama asked.
"Yeah, I always knew I had to take her back home to where she belongs, but seriously this brat dying before me, such a troublesome child!" He laughed as he tried to not let the tears win.
"And even so, you love her enough to let her live a better life right?" Tanaki said.
"Yeah, thank you for loving her enough in the past life and even now, that you are dying for her too." Pan said to Tanaki.
"She has two people sacrificing their lives for her. She is really something huh?" Tanaki laughed.
"Yeah, it's not about who loves her more or who she loves. We both did our parts that we were given." Pan responded.
"Let's not waste time." Dania said.
"Yeah, let's continue on."
"Tanaki, I cannot see Cosmo before she departs but I'm not sad at all. It's more painful but yet beautiful to be killed by someone you love the most. I envy you." Pan smiled.
"Well, I'd rather die saving the one I love. I envy you too, too bad we can't trade places." Tanaki replied back.
They both laughed as they hugged each other for the very first and final time.
It was a bitter sweet departure, but two brothers had finally been able to love each other back.
