12 years later...

"Papa, it's cold. Can we go home soon?"

"Not yet, Aya, not yet."

"How much longer will it be until mommy arrives?"

"Mommy will be here soon. She always liked looking at the sunset here."

"Why don't you go talk to Ryoma? It looks like he found some interesting things on the beach."

Aya pouted, which made Sirius chuckle. He gently pat her head and picked her up and onto his arms, where she held onto him. She shivered a bit from the cool air that came from the sea as they walked to her older brother, Ryoma. He was digging up some things in the sand and had found a shell. He showed it to Aya, who looked at it with delight and interest.

"Wow..."

"You can have it."

"Really?"

"Sure. I can find more."

Aya hopped down from Sirius's shoulders and joined her older brother in looking for more shells. Sirius smiled and pat both of their heads as he sat down next to them. It had been twelve years... twelve years since they came here and in that time, Talulah and him decided to have kids. They had been quite unsure at first, but now they were. Just seeing them warmed his heart. The whole family had argued about who had which traits and it was agreed that Aya and Sirius were the most alike and that Ryoma and Talulah were the other most like pair. However, both of the children still had the traits of a dragon, like Talulah. As for abilities.. Ryoma had fire Arts while Aya had ice Arts. It was a complex mix, but Sirius understood where it came from. He too, could use Arts and it was ice. In a distance, he saw Talulah approaching and poked his kids' shoulders.

"Hey look, Mommy's here."

The two kids excitedly got up and ran towards Talulah, covering her with hugs as Sirius walked there, laughing at the scene. As he approached, Talulah turned her attention from her kids to him and smiled. Even though she looked older, she didn't look any less beautiful to him. She was still the same as she always was. He gave her a quick kiss on the lips and took her hand.

"Hey there, Ta. You ready to go now?"

"I am now. I wanted to take a look at the sunset before we went."

"I hope the view was great. Let's go."

She nodded and waved for the kids to follow along as she and Sirius both took one of the kids' hands to make sure they didn't get lost. Today, there was going to be a family reunion. Apparently, everyone from the family was going to be there. Sirius wondered who he was going to be seeing at the reunion. Akise said he'd be there, even though he had a busy schedule. The reunion was going to take place at the cafe, where Pyrro had already arranged a private event for it. 

The Reunion Movement, as news had said back then, had been stopped of any violent outbreaks. Sirius had assumed that Akise stopped it, but it wasn't as simple as that. From what others had told him, Akise had walked straight into a base that belonged to the Reunion, and called out for Mephisto. When he announced who he was, no one really believed him, of course. That was until he had the entire place on siege and knocked out more than half of the people cold singlehandedly. From there, he had called the rest of his team and they brought havoc the the place. Faust proved to be a trouble, but was apprehended by Haz. Akise had then disbanded most of the Reunion members due to most of them being just criminals, sadists, and others who wanted to kill for fun. Sirius wondered what had happened to them, since he had expected for there to be another group made for those who were expelled, but they were never heard from again.
