Advent Of A Gunslinger

From that day forth, everyone would go on to lead prosperous lives of their own and call on their friends whenever they needed help.

To be specific, the griffons were in a rough spot due to their constant bickering and lack of arable land. Vido knew this, which is why he enlisted the help of both Axel and Fleche to show his people how to farm and work together. It was by no means an easy process though. As the old saying goes: You can lead a griffon to water but you can’t make them fish. Or something of that nature. Regardless, the hippogriff gunslinger and his pegasus sister would spend well over a month in Griffonstone teaching them the importance of working together alongside Vido. It would eventually pay off with the griffons finally listening to reason and working together to farm actual food. Getting them to be more cooperative and friendly with one another on a daily basis would require a lot more effort, but baby steps were better than none after all.

In the Far East, Kora would lead her own life as a member of Emperor Chang’s Court. As it turned out, the rest of her students had relocated there during the war and she managed to reconnect with them all and take them under her tail in her martial arts classes once more. With the Monkey Empire serving as a more peaceful setting, she had finally found a place where she could live in peace thanks to Chang’s help. Once his father finally got everything in order and was prepared to retire, the prince was more than willing to ascend with support from his loyal subjects--Kora included among them as well as many other creatures that had decided to come visit out of curiosity and even stay.

Rosanne meanwhile, had taken some time away from her work in her efforts to reconnect with her fellow minotaurs and stayed with Martha at the Milk Ranch. That way, she was able to retire from the acts of killing that she was used to and could enjoy the company of Clarabelle and Ms. Martha when she was finished for the day. In doing so, she helped provide food for the people of Klugetown…

“Monocrow” Zephryos would also retire from working with Celaeno in order to pursue a more casual, relaxed life in Ornithia. Possibly to reconnect with his family with the support of his friend in Rusty of course…

Celaeno herself would occasionally return to visit Vido every so often and the two would often leave on rather long trips together to spend more time with and get to know each other.

Mio, as the new crown prince of Abyssinia ruled with a watchful eye to manage and take care of everyone that had made their home in Klugetown which would eventually become a bustling city that was comparable to Abyssinia itself. Of course, he wasn’t alone…

Spitha was there to help him with whatever he needed, while also furthering her own career as an established writer. She would eventually branch out into biographies and light novels in order to document and retell the events that had taken place over the last two to three years. It was a massive boost to her confidence, something that her princely husband was more than happy to support her with.

Just as well, Mona, Leona, and the Yewushas were all a part of Mio’s inner circle to help secure and improve Klugetown as well as establish relations with other major nations and powers across the planet. It was a difficult task that took many months to accomplish, but nothing was too great for Mio to handle.

In the end, everyone had gotten what they wanted.

Axel had avenged his family and even reconnected with what he had left of it while also making a new one over the course of his adventure.

Vido had finally become a beacon of hope for the griffons that they could all look to as an example of how to stand tall and proud.

Kora not only avenged her sister, but found a new place for herself in the world as a caretaker for her martial arts students.

Chang finally got his father to accept his terms and has become a much more profound, caring ruler in his father’s place.

Roseanne had managed to continue her father’s legacy by providing great food for the people whom he used to serve on a daily basis.

Monocrow buried his past and could move forward with his new friends and family alongside Celaeno.

Mio had become someone that changed the world in a significant way, just as his mother wanted him to.

Spitha had found herself a better place in life and a lover with a respectable position.

And everyone they had ever known could always point to them and say…

“They were indeed the Legion of Lions…”

“Is that story true, gramma?”

Martha patted the young minotaur boy on the head and left the bedroom as she blew out the candle on the bedside table. “As sure as your parents are skilled guns and farmers. Now get some shut-eye, alright?”

“Yes ma’am…”
