Black Crystal Part 1 - The Origin

Epilogue II ~ Final Entry

It was exactly as we hoped it would end. Sure, while it may look like a stereotypical ending to you, I don't think you were in our exact situation here, so you don't have room to speak. Well, only if you're one of THOSE people who shrug this off as one of those. To the rest of you, I don't mean to be rude, so I'm sorry. Anyway, how exactly did things turn out after all of this? Well, let me tell you.

The Chancellor and my parents settled their differences (after a bit of arguing), and he returned to the Washington Province to mourn the death of his son. According to Garen, who apparently met the real Nicholas in the "Spirit World" or whatever, the real Nicholas is a nice guy. I've been a bit skeptical about that, but you guys probably know why by this point.

Millicent, Horace, and Rin returned to Eugene and continued training. Not only that, but they also kept their inn open to us for free all the time! ...And yet, Garen insists upon paying them whenever we're there. Makes sense to support the people you love, I suppose.

Mom, Dad, Xander, and I continued governing the Oregon Province, with Lucius as our consultant and Diedrich as our Ambassador. (You wouldn't believe how effective it is to send a talking squirrel to other Provinces to discuss... boring government matters with other officials.) And with the return of John Sleadd, music returned to our lives, and we continued our studies under him.

As for Garen and I, well, we started slow. I sort of let him court me a bit before we actually went on our first date. My parents Knighted him, so he finally obtained the title he sought when he first arrived at the Castle what felt like so long ago. As stereotypical as it sounds, Garen and I lived happily ever after... aside from the difficulties that come with being in a relationship, that is. Let's be real now.
