It was over.
Finally over.
The last piece of Jin'li was gone forever. The minds of Mihk'a and A'ahdra, the last of the Epinoch bloodline, were secure and surrounded by those who loved him. And, while the scars would remain, the wounds were healing. Slowly; but time heals all things in the end.
Jin'to Epinoch gave a small smile as he looked down from his perch above the Goblet, his golden hair falling about his dazzling, golden eyes. Ul'dah endured. All the city states endured. They had weathered the storm of madness. There would be more, trouble in time. Of that Jin'to was assured. The nature of the universe never allowed true peace to last for very long. But that's what kept heroes coming around. So many heroes.
The bright eyes of the male looked down at the Dauntless house. Ai, Seitsuda, Amra, Siha. They had played their parts in all this madness, had they not? Suffered more than most would ever know. But they endured. And continued on. Heroes, all.
Jin'to shifted his snowboard on his back and a breeze blew, dancing in his hair and tugging at his tattered attire..
How long had it been since the madness had begun? How had it begun. With a song. Jin'li's song of mantra and madness. But the world was not all cruel. The Twelve made good and evil both. And it was not fair that only evil might sing. The good in this world deserved a chance to sing too. And Jin'to had fought, died, and plotted to make things and people whole once more. He would not let the last song of the Epinoch name be a cry of evil. So the blonde turned and began to sing an old song he had once heard.
It was over.

I saw the light fade from the sky
On the wind I heard a sigh
As the snowflakes cover
My fallen brothers
On the wind I heard a sigh
As the snowflakes cover
My fallen brothers
I will say this last goodbye.
Jin'to was now in the city streets of Ul'dah. He saw them there. The bearded man known as Osric Melkire and his exotic love, Kanaria. They were laughing deeply with an old face. Khan'a Ol'hilkas was smoking a pipe and enjoying the mirth his joke had upon his old friends. Jin'to kept singing to himself as he smiled and faded away, the next lines of the lyrics flowed from his lips.
Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the sea
Under cloud, beneath the stars
Over snow and winter's morn
I turn at last to paths that lead home
Â
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the sea
Under cloud, beneath the stars
Over snow and winter's morn
I turn at last to paths that lead home
Â

Roen Denerith, surrounded by snow and her head held high as her steely eyes looked at this world, the desire to change it and make it better so clear in her eyes. And not far off, that mysterious figure of the woman called Delial Grimson. Come what may, they had played their parts and would play more parts to come
Jin'to was gone again, his voice soft on the wind.

And though where the road then takes me,
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell
Many places I have been
Many sorrows I have seen
But I don't regret
Nor will I forget
All who took that road with me
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell
Many places I have been
Many sorrows I have seen
But I don't regret
Nor will I forget
All who took that road with me
A flash of faces. Warren. Alexie. Franz. Khit. Arin. Julius. Liadan. Erik. Mcbeef. Kage. Sazi. Tiergan. C'kayah. So many faces linked to all this madness.
Jin'to saw them. They had, in their way, hand a hand in ending the madness of Jin'li Epinoch.Â
Jin'to faded away.

Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill, and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the sea
To these memories I will hold
With your blessing I will go
To turn at last to paths that lead home

Jin'to came to a cliff. Below was a beach. A family of four walked along it, leading trails in the sand. A wife, a husband, a daughter and a son all walked. Laughing. Together, as a family at long last. Jin'to gave a smile as the waves lapped upon the shore slowly.
There, the four whom had suffered the most. All, at last, healing. They had one another. What more could Jin'to do for them?
He had done his part. It was all he could. Their destiny was now their own.
Jin'to turned, faded, and stopped. He stood in the middle of a vineyard that had been abandoned. In the center rose a fountain that had been converted to a memorial for a dead woman. One who had, in secret, been very dear to Jin'to. He walked up and knelt before it. He planted a single rose at the base and hung his head in reverance.

Jin'to reached out and touched the base and caressed it tenderly as he looked up at the name cared into the stone.
"Ashwynn Adonis. I've seen to it. Be at peace."
Jin'to rose and turned, his footsteps falling as the setting sun blazed before him.
Jin'to smiled as he thought back on everything.
