Scene: Sarosh and Elias are going up to Arnwolf who's writing papers in his office.
Sarosh: Father, may we speak to you?
Arnwolf: Gunther? No, it's Sarosh now, isn't it? I'm always forgetting. What can I do for you and Elias?
Sarosh: It's time to get rid of King Hallow, father. The judgment is going to begin soon, and you must show your willingness to throw away the old ways before that happens.
Arnwolf: Looking concerned with that What can I do? I may be King Hallow's general, but the troops are loyal to him because of his tight control over their lives. If I turn on him I'll just be throwing away my life, and nothing will have been achieved.
Elias: Isn't there a time when he's alone you could confront him?
Arnwolf: King Hallow is always guarded by his most loyal of soldiers, to go against him would be suicide.
Sarosh: Glares at Arnwolf Throughout my lifetimes I have known many heroes, but you are not amongst them! A general afraid of dying? What pride have you as a soldier?
Arnwolf: Gets up angrily I am not afraid of dying! I just don't believe in throwing my life away on a hopeless cause!
Sarosh: Hopeless? Do not underestimate the strength of a single man! With enough volition a single man can change the course of the world!
Arnwolf: I can't! I'm not like you! I don't have special powers, I can't just turn people to dust! If I confront King Hallow I'll die!
Sarosh: Glares at Arnwolf angrily Then die! It's better to die a hero than to live as a coward.
Arnwolf: Looks scared by Sarosh's look I
Sarosh: Do you think King Hallow is a good king who has enriched this world and bettered the lives of his people?
Arnwolf: Of course not!
Sarosh: Says sharply Then do something about it instead of being an accomplice to his ways!
Arnwolf: Makes a worried face…
Scene: King Hallow is in his throne room surrounded by his guards when Arnwolf angrily storms in.
Arnwolf: Holds his sword towards Hallow King Hallow, I challenge you to a duel!
Action: Hallow's guards move to attack Arnwolf, but Hallow sees Sarosh in the doorway and motions the guards to stop.
Hallow: Smirks What is this Arnwolf? Are you turning on me after all these years? Your son the “God of Destruction” wouldn't happen to have anything to do with this change of heart, would he?
Arnwolf: Looks conflicted at that No… Looks more assured as he holds his sword strongly No, this is something I should have done long ago! I never should have let you massacre the Aderyst race! I never should have allowed your oppression towards the female population of Digonu! Looking upset with himself I never should have just stood by and watched all the atrocities Digonu has instigated, and I NEVER should have been an accomplice in those atrocious acts!
Hallow: Laughs a bit to himself as he draws his sword Out of respect for you as my general I won’t shoot you. Smirks at Arnwolf All right, let’s have a duel to see which of our master’s students is stronger.
Action: Arnwolf attacks Hallow, and Hallow blocks him, Arnwolf stays on the attack until Hallow kicks him in the stomach, knocking him back. Hallow then lunges at Arnwolf, and Arnwolf has to quickly get out of the way. Arnwolf is put on the defense as Hallow sends a volley of strikes at him. Arnwolf pulls out a dagger while on the defense and goes to stab Hallow with it with his free hand. One of the soldiers pulls Hallow away from Arnwolf while another shoots Arnwolf in the side, wounding him.
Arnwolf: Holding his wound and falling to his knees …
Hallow: Looking excited from their fight Pulling a dagger on me? That’s cheating, Arnwolf! Have you any last words before you die?
Arnwolf: Tears up looking sad I wish I had been braver… Passes out
Action: A portal suddenly opens and the soldiers from Kintenoken, Adelia, Draco, and Stasia come through. Hallow looks overwhelmed as his guards start fighting the Kintenoken soldiers, and more soldiers from Digonu are called into the fight. Hallow decides to make a run for it and get out of the throne room in the midst of the sudden chaos. Draco and Sarosh see Hallow escape and go after him. They follow Hallow outside, so that they’re in front of the palace.
Sarosh: Says coldly Stop, coward! You can’t run from your fate! Wherever you go the same thing will happen, at least have some dignity and face us when it does.
Hallow: Stops and angrily turns to look at Sarosh and Draco I am not a coward!
Draco: Looking pissed off King Hallow! You are guilty of continuing the sins of your ancestors by abusing your citizens, and using them as your slaves to further your greed and ambition! You have treated women like cattle and men like dogs! You are despicable, depraved, and deplorable! Holds his hand up towards the sky and the clouds part with a celestial sword appearing in Draco’s hand YOU WILL WATCH THE JUDGMENT WITH A FRONT ROW SEAT FOR YOUR SINS!
Action: Draco throws the sword at Hallow, a group of smaller swords appear around the large sword and all the swords go through Hallow, piercing him against the air. Gold chains materialize around Hallow as he is stabbed repeatedly and the chains snake around him tighter and tighter.
Hallow: Looking in agony AAAAAAGHHHH
Draco: Says to Sarosh Let the judgment begin.
Action: The sky turns dark as thunder and lightning crack above them, a dark wind swirls around Sarosh. Sarosh holds his hand out and materializes a flute. He puts the flute to his mouth and starts to play, everything around them dissolves and turns to dust, buildings and people alike. The soldiers fighting each other in the palace turn to dust (except for a few from Kintenoken). The sky becomes quieter and quieter as everything is turned to dust in the midst of Sarosh's flute playing. For a moment the world is still and lifeless as everything seems gone. Sarosh makes his flute disappear once everything has come to a calm and Draco Closes his eyes, making a small metal bowl with a mallet appear. He starts chanting om as he runs the mallet around the bowl, making the sound of om become louder and louder. As the sound of om becomes increasingly louder everything starts to be reborn. New forests of trees and gardens come into being, while varying species and races materialize. Soon the planet is again repopulated and much more beautiful than before, looking lush and new. The palace around them changes as well to look more fantasy like and less militaristic. Once everything has again come to a calm Draco opens his eyes and makes his mallet and bowl disappear.
Hallow: Freaking out and saying with difficulty through his pain W-what have you done?
Sarosh: Cooly walks towards Hallow We have reset the world to how it was at its creation. Puts his hand on Hallow’s head and Hallow bursts into black flames Begone from this world.
Hallow: Burning to death while still being held down by the celestial weapon AAAAAAAAGGHHHHHHH!!!
Action: Hallow’s body turns to ash from the flames and Draco recalls the celestial weapon to his hand, returning it to a sword. He makes it disappear before heading back into the palace with Sarosh.
Adelia: Jumping on Draco happily You did it~!
Draco: Smiles at her Do you like it, Adelia?
Adelia: Looking pleased Yes, the palace is perfect.
Draco: Haha, wait until you see the animals and gardens, they’re splendid.
Action: Arnwolf gets up with his wound healed looking surprised.
Arnwolf: I’m… alive?
Sarosh: Smiles at Arnwolf Well it didn’t seem fair to let you die, Father. Not after you had redeemed yourself.
Stasia: Looks at Arnwolf a bit shyly Are you all right?
Arnwolf: Blushes and looks a bit shy as well Yes...I’m glad you’re all right as well.
Draco: This planet will still need a government of sorts, someone to watch over it... serve the people and not themselves. Rule with compassion and not greed.
Stasia: It should be you, you’ve watched over this planet from the beginning, haven’t you? You’ve saved us from the oppressive rule of Queen Kitia and King Hallow.
Arnwolf: Nods I agree, it should be you and Sarosh… That is... Nityasya and Purusha. You both know what’s best for this planet, only the two of you can make sure that things don’t become corrupted again.
Sarosh: No, it can’t be us. Even though we wear the forms of mortals we still are not mortals. The worlds within the physical universe should be ruled by the people of the physical universe, as they were created for all of you to play in.
Draco: We want the two of you to rule this new world together, Stasia and Arnwolf.
Stasia&Arnwolf: Us?!?
Arnwolf: Looking upset But you were right, I was a coward prioritizing my life over the welfare of those around me.
Stasia: And if I hadn't of felt so strongly about my duty towards Queen Kitia I could have helped my people sooner.
Draco: Smiles and says gently It's all right, you have learned these lessons so that they won't happen again. Both of you wish for the welfare of the world, and want to see equality. So long as you rule with compassion and selflessness everything will be alright.
Stasia: But… It's not right that the species that massacred all the others should be allowed to rule in the new world.
Sarosh: You are viewing ruling as a reward, in actuality it is the chains of your sins. A true ruler is a servant of the people, not the people your servants. Serve the people with humility and charity, repent for the crimes of your race in your servitude to them.
Arnwolf: Looks guilty All right… if that is what you want, but… I'm still afraid of things becoming as they were. Even with the best of intentions power can corrupt.
Draco: Smiles Don't worry, I'm going to marry Sarosh and Adelia, and as your son in law I will help you when needed.
Stasia&Arnwolf: WHAT?!?
Adelia: Happily clutches onto Draco See mom, I told you he'd be my husband!
Sarosh: Looks annoyed and mumbles It's for the Ring Spell completion…
Stasia&Arnwolf: Looking at each other confused What’s the Ring Spell?
Scene: There's an elaborate wedding for Draco, Sarosh, and Adelia in the new palace that everyone is invited to.
Scene: 12 years later, Draco, Sarosh, and Adelia are in their room in the palace together.
Draco: Lying with the two of them It is time I return to Earth for a while.
Sarosh: Looking chill Has the time come already?
Adelia: Looking upset How long are you going for?
Draco: Sitting up Five years… after that I'll come and take you back to Earth with me in the form of Damon.
Adelia: Clings to Draco I don't want you to go! That's such a long time.
Draco: Lovingly touches her face Don't worry, I'll visit often, I promise.
Sarosh: Holds up a bell We can always summon him if we need to, Adelia.
Draco: Laughs a bit Yes, there's that too. Smiles gently at Adelia I will always be with you when you need me. Hugs her to him My dear, it will be alright. I won't forget you and the children.
Sarosh: Says teasingly Just me?
Draco: Laughs and smiles at Sarosh As if I could!
Action: Draco gets up to go and Adelia grabs his hand before he can.
Adelia: Looking shy Draco… before you go… I was thinking… maybe…
Draco: Looks amused Adelia, are you asking for another child?
Adelia: Looking super embarrassed It was just a thought… Maybe you'll visit more often… but also it'll help me cope with your absence.
Sarosh: Looks amused You already have two kids, Adelia, isn't that enough?
Adelia: Frowns at Sarosh We never said we weren't going to have more kids…
Draco: Touches Adelia's stomach with his hand I am happy I can fulfill a desire of yours. Yes, we can have a child.
Adelia: Looks excited as she touches her stomach Yay~! Says teasingly to him Now you have to visit, okay? It's irresponsible to abandon your baby!
Draco: Says teasingly back Yes, yes I know.
Scene: Pavonis is in his office at Apus headquarters when Draco walks in.
Pavonis: Looking annoyed at seeing him Draco Emyr… the Earth told me you were coming.
Draco: Smiles at Pavonis Yes, I've come to recruit and train Claire Gotthilf, as per my karmic agreement with her.
Pavonis: Hands Draco a packet And so my troubles begin.
