EPILOGUE

Dear Ma,

I regret to inform you of the passing of uncle Matsu. But do not despair, he took the monster Varan with him, and left a powerful legacy for his people. And for us.

Kyoko and I have been married. (I hope your happy!!) It was a small Koshida ceremony, and we'll be staying in the village until we can get transport back to the mainland. I'll write you again from the Iso's (Kyo's writing to them now), and we'll be back home to see you as soon as we can.

And, Ma, I promised myself I'd thank you for sending me to this bloody island in the first place. There are fish swimming in the lake again, Ma. And my eyes have been opened to magic.

Thank you.

Love and Peace,

Kenji
