This takes place when the battle is finished.

The war had lasted a year. A year of combat as we lost thousands of lives. Lives of those who fought by our side even  when we were enemies. Sides that protected each other.

We finally won.

Maria has been sealed away.

Alyssa was on her knees, head down as her breathing ragged. She had wounds that bled, she had scars that showed, she had bandages that showed. They had finally done it after losing so many people, The Daughter of Ares nearly cried. No... She cried as she looked into the sky. No longer tainted the red of war declare but a blue stained with smoke rising.

She looked so much more different than one year ago. Her once bright eyes had died out, that didn't mean they had no light in them. Tears filled her vision as she cried loudly. Overwhelmed with it all. Her once long hair was shorter, her body had changed.

Her guardian, Kastro, stood above her protective. He raised his head and howled, The aura guardian howled within the victory.

She had lost her older brother. William... She had lost her mother, Dashiell. She was lost.

Mibko put his weight on his weapon that was within the ground. He raised his bloody fist into the sky, his wings were larger. More grand as they spread in the air. He had more wounds, more scars, more bandages, more fight. The Son of Hades cried. Tears falling as he yelled.

His silver eyes were tired, distressed, disturbed. His hair longer and more messy. His body changed. It didn't stop him from accepting the victory as he stood, body exhausted. His guardian, Eletar, stood protectively over him towering.

He raised his three heads and howled loudly alongside Kastro for their victory. Howled in honor. Mibko had lost his best friends, Ares Lezgado and Aresoa Lezgado. He had lost his aunt. Kagatsu Sao Āisho.

He was hurt.

A yelled as he pressed his hands against the battlefield ground. His head down as he let out sobs, hitting the ground with his bloody torn fists. His body shaking as he hurled up blood. His eyes clenched shut as the tears left, his hair sticking to him with the sweat, blood, and grime. It was shorter.

His guardian, Askaria, stood over him, her aquatic eyes closed before she reared up. Her golden wings spreading as she neighed. Loudly joining the two other guardians in victory.

He was in agony, he lost Danny. His dear brother, his dead big brother was gone. Danny, he had died for him, so he won for him.

Libran held her cold body to their chest as they sobbed loudly. Who cares if they won, The victory wasn't worth it. They lost the person they had fought to live for, The person who gave them the courage to keep going. Eneistia... I'm sorry.

They sobbed as they held their younger sister's dead body. Hair long as they let blood spill out of their mouth, eyes pained and dead as they clenched them shut. Screaming in agony.

"ENEISTIA!"

Their guardian, Zazara, stood behind them as she closed her eyes. Tears falling before she opened her mouth, a loud cry escaping the goddess guardian.

Alicea breathed as she leaned against her sister, Kitty wiped her eyes. Rabbit, you our dear sister are apart of the stars now. You darling. Coraline, you can finally see the stars again.

Two remained, two gone.

Alicea closed her eyes, her guardian, Wonder, raises her head as her nine tails swayed behind her. She let out a shriek to follow along the victory the others made.

Kitty held Alicea as she let the tears fall, staring into the sky. Her guardian, Cheshire, raises her head as she yowled, following the same suit as the feline towered.

Brian sobbed as he pressed his head against his brothers chests, Alor and Tin. He didn't want to continue on. He lost his older sister, Wolf, he lost his older brother, Charlie. He was hurling blood up and struggling to breathe.

Alor and Tin couldn't hold back their tears. They couldn't be triplets without Wolf, The woman who allowed herself to be killed for them. The person who they loved.

Brian's guardian, Moera, raised her head as she closed her eyes. Her horn shining in the green as she reared in and neighed loudly. Alor's guardian, Volcanic, let out a loud roar as he kept his head raised and wings spread. Tin's guardian, Wolf, raised her head and howled as her eyes closed.

Wolf and Charlie would live on.

Antonio kept his arms around his sisters. Myth and Mitten staring at the skies, listening to the guardians. It wasn't worth it anymore. It hurts. He stared at the sky sobbing.

His guardian, Chapel, raised her wings and let out a loud screeching squawk as her wings spread and flapped. Myth's guardian, Prayer, only let out a song as she stood. The song of the sorrow and victory. Mitten's guardian, Moon, bowed his head. He was silent.

Thousands and thousands if more guardians stood high and mighty. Stood with their honor.

The war may be over but it's still here.
