Virat: Abandoned by Destiny

Narrator

"Tonight... the moon is as peaceful as it has always been."

"Some old memories returned to me tonight."

"I remembered the day my father entrusted something to me..."

"...and then left to build someone else's world."

"Since then..."

"I've simply continued doing what he asked."

"Perhaps..."

"I've grown old."

"Older than you could ever imagine."

"...But enough about me."

"Let's return to V."

Night had completely embraced Restart Village.

Countless stars glittered across the endless sky.

A cool breeze gently flowed through the village, carrying the familiar scent of home.

The horse carriage slowly rolled through the village entrance.

Its wooden wheels rolled gently across the familiar road.

For V and T...

Every corner of the village brought back warm memories.

The old banyan tree.

The quiet river.

The houses glowing beneath the moonlight.

They were finally...

Home.

As soon as the carriage came to a stop...

The front door of the White family home burst open.

"V!"

"T!"

Lily rushed outside without caring about anything else.

Before either child could say a single word...

She wrapped both of them tightly in her embrace.

For several long moments...

She said nothing.

She simply held them close.

As if letting go would make them disappear again.

Tiny tears quietly rolled down her cheeks.

"...Welcome home."

T happily buried her face against Lily's shoulder.

"We're home, Mom!"

Her cheerful voice filled the quiet night.

V smiled softly.

"...We're back."

For the first time since leaving Restart Village...

The weight in his heart became lighter.

Only then did Lily slowly turn toward Brald.

Her eyes were still slightly red.

She walked over to him...

And gently held both of his hands.

"...Thank you."

"...For bringing the most precious parts of my heart back home safely."

Brald smiled warmly.

"They're strong children."

Lily gently shook her head.

A faint smile appeared on her face.

"...No."

"They're still just children."

Standing nearby...

Alistair quietly watched the reunion.

A gentle smile rested upon his face.

Lily turned toward him and bowed respectfully.

"And..."

"Thank you as well, Alistair."

"For staying here..."

"And protecting our home while we were away."

Alistair placed one hand over his chest.

"It was an honor."

"This village..."

"Is worth protecting."

The house slowly welcomed life once again.

Warm laughter echoed through every room.

Dinner was prepared together.

Stories from the journey were shared one after another.

Even the quiet moments felt comforting.

Because...

Everyone who mattered...

Was finally together again.

The warmth of the evening slowly settled over the White family's home.

The cheerful laughter that had been absent for days...

Had finally returned.

Outside...

The cool night breeze drifted through Restart Village.

Inside...

Peace quietly embraced every corner of the house.

Late that night...

The stars continued to sparkle across the endless sky.

Moonlight gently poured through the open window.

Inside their room...

V and T had already gone to bed.

Or...

At least...

That had been the plan.

As usual...

T had somehow managed to spread herself across nearly the entire bed.

One blanket rested beneath her.

Another somehow covered only one foot.

Despite awakening an incredible Ultimate Skill...

Despite everything she had experienced during their journey...

At home...

She was simply...

A little girl again.

V looked at the sight before him.

A helpless smile appeared on his face.

"...Some things..."

"Never change."

He carefully adjusted the blanket over T.

Making sure she stayed warm.

Curled peacefully against V's stomach...

Little Tiami slept soundly.

The tiny dragon had remained in Restart Village while everyone travelled to the Holy Kingdom.

Perhaps...

She had simply missed him.

Every now and then...

She let out a tiny sleepy sound.

Almost as if she were making sure...

He was still beside her.

V gently stroked her head.

Tiami happily snuggled even closer.

In another room...

The faithful butler had already fallen asleep after another long day.

The entire house had finally become quiet.

Only the gentle sound of the night breeze could be heard through the windows.

Outside...

No matter how frightening the world became...

No matter how difficult tomorrow might be...

Home would always remain...

The one place...

Where tired hearts could finally rest.

V quietly looked toward the wooden ceiling.

His thoughts slowly wandered.

The journey to the Holy Kingdom...

The peaceful nights beneath the stars...

The bandit attack...

The fear of almost losing T...

The mysterious Elf...

Everything replayed quietly inside his mind.

Each memory...

Still felt vivid.

Still felt real.

Slowly...

He turned his head toward his little sister.

T slept peacefully.

A small smile rested upon her face.

The wound on her stomach had already healed.

But...

The memory of that terrible night...

Still remained inside his heart.

For a long moment...

He simply watched her breathing.

Steady.

Peaceful.

Safe.

At last...

The tension within him quietly disappeared.

A faint smile formed on his lips.

"...Good night..."

"My little sister."

His eyelids slowly became heavier.

Little by little...

His eyes closed.

And for the first time...

Since the journey had begun...

V fell into a peaceful sleep.

"Waiting for your return."
