The riots were successfully quelled by the Watch well before the battle with the Dark God was completed, and soon afterward, news arrived in Eyris that FEF had by dint of great effort on behalf of its members diverted the lava flow from the volcano into a glacial lake. The initial eruption had sent large chunks of molten rock flying into the forest, but FEF had also successfully contained and smothered the resulting fires. In short, by the time the first FEFers began to return, the citizens of Eyris were waiting with open arms and apologetic smiles.
Tibarn, The Great Hawk returned from his honeymoon with his buxom bride a happy man, and once more became comfortable raising his daughter in the castle. From the talon he lost fighting Fenrir, he had a mighty sword forged, that his wife, and perhaps one day his daughter, would wield.
Ganon, The Dreamweaver, distraught after the death of Teifi, wandered through his own mind in turmoil for some time. His music became soft and flat, and during this time he invented what would come to be known as the "Greens" scale, named for his unusual complexion. Songs played on the Greens scale typically describe depression and angst. It was only through the efforts of close friends that Ganon was able to pull himself out of his slump and once more adopt his normal cheery disposition.
(Ganon and Hatmon A Support)
Ganon, The Dreamweaver, and Hatmon, the Vixen Belle reunited after the defeat of Loki. Hatmon was badly injured, and Ganon himself picked her up and carried her back to Eyris, where he nursed her back to health as he dealt with his own depression. Her smile and laughter, day by day, pulled Ganon out of his slump, and when Hatmon invited him to move out of his wagon and into her home, he graciously accepted. Some say the two plan to open a tea house.

"I'm glad you are too," he said softly, holding her close. It felt strange... they'd both almost died before even reaching Loki. He actually HAD been struck with a fatal blow, but managed to pull himself back away from the edge. She'd been on that edge as well, but Renault had been there to save her that time.
...Yeah, no more waiting around. He'd already spoken to Rei, made sure he knew what role he was playing, at least. Maybe a bit too soon to be talking of the wedding itself, but it seemed like no matter how hard they tried, some random villain or another was after them. It made him wonder if perhaps they (or at least Amelia) were (was) cursed.
But maybe they were safer now. Loki took quite a few nasty hits, and with him gone, there seemed to be no legit threats to their safety. Perhaps now was the time for it.
"...We'll be married soon, Amelia," he said, holding her close. "I swear it."

Amelia kept her cheek against Rhys' shoulder, listening to his answer in silence. She could feel his heart beating against hers, his breathing over her head... She tightened her arms around his chest. He had almost died before, she had almost died, and Renault had literally gone and left them... she didn't want to lose anyone else. Especially not Rhys.
"...We'll be married soon, Amelia. I swear it."
Amelia pulled away just enough to look up to Rhys' face. She took in his eyes, nose, mouth, for just a second, then whispered, "Yes."
Before she could say anything else, she leaned forward and kissed him, moving her arms to wrap them around his neck, one hand resting against his soft orange hair. As soon as possible...
Amelia: Graceful Spear
The death of Amelia's father could have sent her into a period of deep despair, had it not been for the comfort of her beloved friends and family. Amelia worked hard with the Watch to help repair what damage Eyris sustained during the riots, and through it all, Rhys was beside her.
Rhys/Amelia: Divine Protection
Even through all of the hardship thrown their way, Rhys and Amelia never faltered. Finally (as a few of their friends might put it) the two were wed, and the happiness this brought them cheered their spirits. The love they shared was a bright beacon in their time of loss.

John sat to the side and looked at the arrow head that was in him for that long battle. "I'll keep this for my son..Im sure he'd be glad to have this." He thought in his head and hung it over his shoulders crying a little knowing that he left his son back home. "Wait. Where is Octavio?" he asked out loud as he looked around to find him for they had to talk.

Nino and Rath had returned... To Eyris. To home. As she walked the streets, she wondered...
Things are back to normal now, right? She smiled, to herself... They were...
And Eyris welcomed her. But she hadn't time for much else... Her son needed a place to rest... So did many other people wounded or exhausted from the battle...
She was home, and as usual there was work to do...
She had to take her son somewhere. She moved quickly to FEFGA's manor...
Nino, Divine Captain
The girl continued on as the leader of FEF and Eyris. She had a lot of work to do after the dark god left... This was by no means the end.. Only the beginning for the girl, as she moved through her life of uncertainty and chaos... Once near death and now... risen like a phoenix to the throne of greatness over this new world...

Ashnard Daein- Crazed Defender
As usual, the Mad King appeared to help at the end, not bothering with, what he considered, the small fries. After the battle, he was healed by one of the many holy people and left again. Though no one knows what he is really doing, many assume he is gathering his forces and resources to take over Learania.
Sindar Yoru- Mysterious Axeman
Although not seen at the showoff with the Dark God, Sindar has traveled around Learania and has began to help with the rebuilding. He hopes to become a great warrior and earn the love and respect of the people of this world.

Fa the Divine Dragon: Fa had crushed her dragonstone. She was nothing but a small girl now that the energy from the dragonstone had left her body. Fa wondered what she could do. She could ask the Goddess Ashera for another one. It could work. So she set off to find the goddess and have her make another Dragonstone for Fa.

Rhys leaned into the kiss, bringing his arms down around her waist. Yeah, it's been long enough, all right.
Rhys: Mighty Priest
He'd been selfish, abandoning all that he knew for this strange new world. He'd never shake the feeling that ultimately, there were people who liked and depended on him back in Tellius, and he let them down. But Amelia was beside him, and he believed that someday, somehow, his parents and friends would understand that this was what he wanted.
Rhys/Amelia: Divine Protection
Their wedding was actually a small one. They wanted it done fast as they could, because with hardships left and right, it was a hell of a job to plan out everything. Magnet understood that well enough, and the two were FINALLY wed. Some may wonder if that meant the Host Club would disband (since, y'know, marriages running rampant and all), but the group was too tightly knit by now to allow for that.

Sophia- the Future Seer
After returning to the castle, Sophia was promptly escorted back to her room. A new lock was placed on her door, but she still managed to sneak out on occasion to mingle with the other guild members much to the maids’ dismay. Her days are often filled with guild work and the study of her new tome, Chizakura.
Hatmon- the Vixen Belle
Greatly injured from the battle with Loki, Hatmon returned to her Eyris home to recover. Having had her fill of battle, the chimera turned her attention to more relaxing things. Hoping to share this peace with others the idea to turn the front of her home, which had formerly been a restaurant before she had bought it, into a café was born. To this day she still works as a body guard for Kris though; her seductive appearance distracting many from the dangers of her golden claws.

Kris- Transforming Trickster
Kris returned to his home with Hatmon shortly after escaping the castle’s angry maids. Even today, rumors of the manakete are the primary source of gossip among the castle’s servants. It is said he now often walks the streets late at night, sometimes appearing as a man, other times a woman. Somehow, he always avoids Hatmon’s lectures, and keeps people guessing as to his true gender. It’s still a mystery how he continues to pay for Hatmon’s protection, though it’s evident why he needs it.

Vika - The Enigmatic Raven Having learned the truth about her love, Vika slowly fades from the public view, having left a facade much different than that of those people used to know of her. A dark wind blows, and Vika will ride in on that wind when the clock nears midnight. Adele - The Quirky Berserker Adele wandered Learania, but never did find her once true love in the half-mask. Rumor has it now that she goes to work seducing the Eyris Pie Shop owner each day for free pie. Loch - The Wandering Oracle Loch sought happiness in a faraway land. Though fraught with turmoil and despair, he persevers to find the true reason to be happy. Currently, a particular raven has captured his attention, and he seeks to bond with the kindred spirit.
_____________________ < BGM> The massive wings folded behind her as she soared to safety after shattering the spine of the colossal serpent. As she side-swiped one of the pillars, a talon caught on a mysterious object. She fluttered to the ground, shifting back to her more beorc-like form, and picked up the item that now lay near her feet.
Hm...a mask...
It seemed to be made of the finest gold, as it glimmered even in the darkness of the cavern. It was encrusted with many jewels, obviously exquisitely crafted. As she stared at it, it seemed to call out to her..."Take me...I can make your dreams come true..." That was...weird. Vika dismissed the phantom voice as just lingering grief over learning that Synra was dead. And Loki hadn't even acknowledged her statements.... Yeah, that was it. She went to set the mask back down--HSSSSSSSSSSS! Vika leapt back, only slightly realizing that the mask was still in her hand. Had it just hissed at her as she went to set it down? No...no, it's just your imagination, Vika. That phantom glowing from the eyeholes, too...you're hallucinating, Vika.
...But why let such a fine mask be left here? Loki was almost defeated; he wouldn't be needing it soon. With the slightest of grins, she stowed it by her side and resumed battle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Long after the battle, after she had dropped a fussing Adele off and disappeared from the others, she returned to her mountain hideout to take a closer look at the mask in a better light. Oh, it looked so much better out here. She traced a finger down the finely-crafted gold trim. And then she lifted it up, as heavy as a mask of solid gold was, and placed it upon her face.FIRE! A VISION INTO THE DEEPEST PITS OF HELL, THE ABSOLUTE MEANING OF MISERY, AGONY, DESPAIR!
...And there she stood among the flames.
Synra.
She called out. "Save me, Vika! SAVE ME!"
AND THEN THE FLAMES CAME FORTH, LIKE THE FIRES OF A THOUSAND, NAY, A MILLION DRAGONS, ENVELOPING HER.
...And then there was nothing.Vika realized at this point that she must have blacked out, because she became aware that she was laying upon the floor. The mask sealed to her face, and it was far less heavy than it had felt before. She went to stand up, and a voice echoed through her head....
~Follow me, young raven, and I'll set you free
All you must do is obey me
I can fulfill your deepest desires
Now follow me, child, into the fire~
Trembling now, Vika brought a hand to her head and removed the mask. It slipped off effortlessly. She dragged herself to a mirror and...it was fading now to her natural blue, but her eyes were wholly red. She went to lay the mask down, and as she stared at it, her mind echoed its words.
"Yes..." she murmured, "The power...I have it now."_____________________

Soldiers staggered back, exhausted from the battle with Loki and his minions.
Some had serious wounds... key term being HAD. On the way back, one by one, the soldiers with wounds felt healing magic surround them. But as they looked around, there was no healer to be found.
Jin - Shadow Priest
The secret was out: Jin was both Priest and Assassin, light and shadow. Thankfully, few knew of his Assassin part, and he wanted to keep it that way. However, recent events opened his eyes to the folly of leaving one's skills to rust. However, he left alone the killing arts... instead, he gave healing in secret to those who may need it. Rumors began to spread of a benevolent ghost haunting Eyris, providing to those in need of the magical healing arts.

Eyris. Long had Rath been away from this city. As he walked back to the castle with Nino and his daughter, Sue, he could see the look in the people's eyes. He didn't blame them. Their discomfort, their mistrust, it was clearly evident. All he could do is try to hide it from Sue. Still, the people were also happy. That was good.
He watched Nino, as she left with her son, and continued on, to the castle with Sue. When they arrived, he turned to her, knelt down, and gave her a long deserved hug. "I'm sorry... for leaving you" He whispered, as he held her tight. "I never will again.."
_______________
Rath- Lone Wolf
Having returned to Learania, after his long travels, Rath stayed by Sue and Nino's sides and helped them with all they did. Friendly ties were quickly made with the plainsman, due to his past visit. He also strove hard to win back the trust of the people.Abel- Goofy Mercenary
Abel kept his distance from Eyris as best as he could, after the battle, memories from Easter still haunting him. However, he chose to stay in Learania, and help Alihi the best he could, by bringing in gold from mercenary work. His feelings for her grow every day.Deborah- Ebony Zelda of the Sands
When things had settled, Deborah took the time to bury Ledreak, and then sought out Rath, for her gold. When she found him, he managed to trick her into joining the Castle Guard, where she now puts up with a noisy captain. She never did get her gold.

Ed was no longer in possession of the Tervingi Crest. Mind, she wasn't too happy about losing such freedom of transformation, but Ed supposed it had to be returned on way or the other.
While she too mourned Renault's death, Ed couldn't mourn for long. He had been avenged and she could only hope he was in a better place. Besides, as she looked into the full mirror sitting in her room in Fefga's mansion, Ed realized she had other concerns."AW MAAAAAN!"Ed, the Aspiring Swordschimera
Although she now permanently had a tooth knocked out because of Loki's familiar, Ed eventually learned to shrug it off and returned to her daily training. Needless to say, she was furious to find Soren missing once again, but she supposed Rei's restoration made up for that. Ed immediately began delving further into study on hawk anatomy and the basics of flight.
---------- Neros found his way back into the attic, still vaguely half-asleep and not dwelling too heavily on the consequences of that day's events. The first thing he did was find a corner, huddle up next to a cold carcass, and curl up in tender slumber.
Neros, the Goddess's Failure
Finished with the catastrophe of the year, Neros returned to his humble lifestyle of silent experimentation in the attic. He turned away from the painful experiences from the previous month that haunted him, desiring only solace in his solitude and his own little world. ---------- Soren had vanished entirely after he was dropped off with the others. Having relocated the old camp north of Eyris, he took his rouncey Pitch and the messenger bat Malachi and rode back into the trees.
Soren?, the Disciple of Reason
The brightly-robed sage vanished once more, unseen for the rest of the summer and autumn. ---------- Ashera, Order Incarnate
The Goddess of Order departed once all were seen into safety. She withdrew once more into hiding to recover the rest of her power while attempting to establish contact with other deities freed from Loki's seal. She wishes her beloved Octavio the best of fortune with his pursuits.

For quite a while now, Lance had travelled. Across rivers, through forests, over the mountains. He had finally arrived at his destination; the first landmark he had found when first arriving in Learania.
A clearing clear from trees in the middle of the forest, with rocks and other plants all around. A cliff in the middle of the clearing reaching up 15 yards or so was split in the middle, with a river flowing at the top. A waterfall in the split, with a cave behind the waterfall. It was an epic hideout for a thief of his standards. It had a beautiful scenery, with a clear view down the mountain in case he needed to spot people coming closer. Unless the person knew about the place, or the person could fly, finding the place would be difficult as it was hidden in the mountains in a forest.
Adrenaline kicked in, and Lance climbed up the cliff, coming up to the top of the waterfall. He gazed down the mountain, seeing the city below. It was a spectacular sight to behold...if he ever died here in Learania, he'd definitely want to be buried here.
Lance filled his lungs with air, then screamed out in the loudest voice he could manage.
"My name is Lance Dartel! At the moment, I'm incredibly weak in actual battle. People can beat me around as if I'm nothing, especially if all strategy is thrown out the window and I'm left fending with only my power alone!
He took another deep breath, before he continued.
"All that is going to change! All of you, just you wait! The next time I meet any of you, I will be ten, maybe hundred times stronger than I am now! Prepare yourself for the return of the Hidden Prodigy, Lance Dartel!"
He was panting right now. He yelled down the valley, not because he was expecting people to hear him, but to make a promise to himself. Next time...I'll fight on equal grounds with anyone! My friends, and potential love-interests...I'll protect them and make them proud of me!
His stomach grumbled. "...but first food, eh?"
Lance Dartel, the Hidden Prodigy
After the incident, Lance had a fire in his heart rekindled as he set off to get stronger yet again. Disappearing without a trace, he felt bad for his companions in the Team of Teamwork Team and his other friends, but his desire to grow stronger for the sake of not only himself but for others motivated him to not return.
Finn, Lenster Lancer and Leaf his protegée
Leaf finally enjoyed his icecream with much joy, after having to hide with Finn for the duration of the whole carnival, when the morphs attacked. Finn sought a new babysitter for a while, but no person with their sanity intact could take care of the Prince menace, so he still looks over the child.
