Filia felt the warm material of the blade, then an indescribable rush of...something. When her mind interfaced with reality again, she could feel Xelloss's arms -- now bare -- wraped around her. She wriggled a bit, trying to see his face.
"Xelloss..." she said quietly, reaching out to lift away a salty drop from his face.
He smiled, and kissed her. "Welcome back, Filia..." Then, he collasped on top of her in a faint, which he didn't wake up out of for several days.
As they walked away from the small temple, Xelloss smiled and handed Filia a handkerchief. "Come on, Filia. We both know that you'd rather they got married instead of just shacking up." Filia glared at him, earning a large grin and a pat on the back. "Besides, you should be happy! Our daughter's married!"
"But I always cry at weddings..."
"Funny...you didn't cry at ours," he said.
Filia whapped him lightly. "That's because we were both drunk, baka."
Xelloss laughed and kissed her. "Well, you don't need to get me drunk anymore..."
"I got you drunk?" Filia cried, mock-offended. "I wasn't the one who had suggested a drinking contest!"
With a laugh, Xel wrapped his arms around Filia and they teleported away together.
This ending is the result of many not liking the other ending because they thought it was too sad... Would you like to read the other ending now?
