Obulan was no longer alone in the world. While he may not have any other members of his species alive, he now had an entire kingdom to rule.
Obulan was now king of the Aes Sidhe, having killed the last king and claimed the crown. He had plenty of subjects and people to call his tribe, and Dawn had been reinstated as lieutenant.
Trawl had been arrested and sent to prison again. The five children and their guardians had been hailed as heroes, and though the children felt uncomfortable with the attention, Ventus loved it.
"Smile and wave, boys, smile and wave," she said, grinning as they were brought through the streets of the Sorcerer's City. Yes, the sorcerers had a city. They didn't all just permanently live in the Headquarters, you know. Shanae had buried her face in her hands. "Mom is so embarrassing," she had confided in her sister Lifei, who had heartily agreed.
"Not to worry," said Uro, cheerily, "The sorcerers should soon forget about you lot. Then, you can go attend normal school, like the rest of the sorcerer kids."
Cassandra had felt secretly excited at the prospect of attending a school of sorcery.

Several days later.
They were off to school. Lifei had complained, but Uro had told her sternly that they were already behind and would need to catch up.
By some amazing coincidence (wow) the five children were all the same age (wowzers). You may recall that Melody was the youngest of them all. She was, but only by months. So there. Ha ha. Ahem.
"You will all be in the same class. I want all of you to look out for each other. Lifei," said Uro.
"Yes?"
"Don't start a fight. Have a good day in school," said Uro.
And off they went to their first real lesson in the Academia.
