<p>Epilogue</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>The Song After Silence</p><p><br></p><p>The world did not forget the war.</p><p><br></p><p>But it began to heal from it.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>---</p><p><br></p><p>The Ashen Valley grew green again—first with stubborn moss, then with blooming frostroses and emberlilies. Where fire had scorched and ice had frozen, warmth returned, gentle and sure.</p><p><br></p><p>The sky cleared.</p><p><br></p><p>The birds came back—real birds this time.</p><p><br></p><p>And in the center of the reborn land stood two statues, carved from fused obsidian and crystal, hands joined in eternal unity: the Sisters of Balance.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>---</p><p><br></p><p>Kaelara returned to the northern peaks, where she built the Sanctum of Stillness—a place for those who sought clarity, peace, or protection. She taught that cold was not cruelty, but calm. That distance could hold love, and that silence often said the most.</p><p><br></p><p>Seren went south to the molten plains, where she founded the Hall of the Ember Pact. There, she trained warriors and healers alike, teaching that fire could create, not just destroy. That passion was power—but guided, it could be mercy.</p><p><br></p><p>They ruled nothing.</p><p><br></p><p>But they inspired everything.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>---</p><p><br></p><p>And once every year, when the frost touched the flameflower fields and the sun warmed the snowcaps, the sisters would meet again.</p><p><br></p><p>No longer to fight.</p><p><br></p><p>But to talk, to laugh, and sometimes… to simply be.</p><p><br></p><p>And always—always—they carried the memory of their mother.</p><p><br></p><p>And the truth that saved them both:</p><p><br></p><p>"Balance is not perfection.</p><p>It is trust.</p><p>It is love.</p><p>It is choosing, again and again…</p><p>not to let go".</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>The End.</p>
