The Parting Glass

Epilogue...

     For millions of years, I watched my family grow. Arreis and Orion grew into the most beautiful and handsome bots on Cybertron. Optimus led the planet justly and life flourished. But I noticed that he was more quiet except around our children and our old Team. Ratchet had joined the Allspark five hundred years ago, and Ironhide two hundred. They got along well with my foster parents. Grimlock had a son who he named after himself before joining our old friends and comrades. One day I noticed a huge ceremony being held. I watched from the Allspark and saw Optimus pass down the Matrix to Arreis, who he declared as Olympia Prime. It brought tears to both Elita and I to know that Arreis had succeeded Optimus. Orion was named High Lord Protector of Primes and they lived that way for another million years. Elita was reborn as Arreis' daughter, and Optimus from my dimension was reborn as Orion's son. That was five hundred years ago and today I decided to roam my field in my cybertronian form.

"Avalon." A deep voice I missed so much said. It wasn't flamed Optimus of course, this type of baritone was smooth and pure.

"Optimus." I smiled and faced him. He still looked at knightly as ever. I ran to him and he captured my lips in a kiss. "I waited for you."

"I know." He smiled down at me. "Let's go home."

"Yes. Let's." I laid my helm on his shoulder as we walked into the white light that was always waiting for me at the end of my field.

"So fill to me the Parting Glass. Good Night, and joy be to you all..." I sang as we finally became one with the Allspark completely.
