“Where’s mom?” Kessler asked confused as he looked behind Illadari at Nejik and Leroy. Illadari’s smile dropped off his face immediately and he set Kessler down on the platform. Bending to one knee after stepping onto the platform, Illadari touched Kessler’s face as he looked him in the eyes.
“Your mom…” Illadari said as he tried to hold back his anguish from being revealed. “She’s…”
Nejik stepped up behind Illadari and placed his hand on Illadari’s shoulder. “A hero Kessler.” Kessler looked up at Nejik suspiciously.
“You’re the man that would talk to mommy at the shop in town,” Kessler said.
“I’m your uncle,” Nejik said with a smile.
“Kessler,” Illadari said directing the boy’s eyes back at him. “Your mother won’t be coming home with us… She had to save everyone in the kingdom from the big bad dragons.” Kessler looked down at the floor and remained silent for a moment.
“Where did she go?” Kessler asked.
“She’s with Omad now… he was so impressed with her, that he wanted her to come be with him in the Great Unknown,” Illadari said.
“But I want my mom back with me…” Kessler said quietly as his eyes stayed focus on the ground.
“I want her to be with us too,” Illadari said quietly as he kissed his son’s forehead.
Ada had Illadari and Kessler stay atop the tree that evening. After Kessler had fallen asleep, Illadari sat on the edge of the platform and glanced up at the moons and reflected on his life. While Illadari knew he didn’t have a long life with Tessla, he did know the time he had with her, he’d cherish forever.
Epilogue
Word soon spread across all of Belstrom of Tessla and Nikolas’s selfless sacrifices to rid the kingdom of dragons forever. Illadari and Kessler were free to return home to Silvermeer. Illadari was able to convince the mayor to pardon Haden for the misunderstanding and clear up the confusion that was brought on from Ada’s illusion.
Reinstated back at the Halls of the Living, Illadari and Kessler soon fell into a life that was good, even though it lacked the extra love Tessla had once brought to everything in life. Ada soon became in possession of the salesman’s stone fragment from the Emalia Staff, so the world of Belstrom remained safe from the evils within the Ethereal Planes.
With the King and Queen being gone and the need for the royal magic families along with it, the empire that had been established for centuries crumbled. The two remaining brothers of the Curo Wizards were able to convince the people of Belstrom to elect them into power and Khazar became the new capital.
Under the newly formed reign of power, the Curo Wizards of Khazar, were quickly accepted as the rulers and praised for their love of the people. Starting with black diamonds, the wizards began their agenda that Lance had spoken to Tessla about. Everyone and anyone were now able to obtain black diamonds.
