Denouement
The Juggernaut of Juan, Libra, and Bucephalus slowly dissolved, and the three individuals stood on the muddy ground next to Scorpio and the emerald.
The centaurs were rounding up groups of defeated legionnaires. Sagittarius resumed his human form and conferred with his generals. Order has returned to the chaotic and bloody battleground.
As Boganasheth quietly reunited with Juan's consciousness, Juan told him, "thank you. We never could have survived without you."
"Where you are, I am too," said the spirit. "I'll always protect you."
Libra told them, "Scorpio, after you deliver Abaddon and Aquarius back to Tartarus, I want you and Sagittarius to assume command of Anwyn. You'll be the new guild, making sure that order is maintained and justice is served."
Scorpio nodded. "You and Gemini need to lead the company to Cuahalan." She looked at Juan. "Will you return?" She asked, hopefully.
"I'll try," he said, "I'll come back when it's finished, even if I don't stay."
Scorpio hugged him. "Stay safe." She raised the emerald form of Aquarius and Abaddon into the air with her magic, and walked off toward the portal to Anwyn undersea.
Turning back towards the farmhouse, Juan asked Bucephalus: "will you stay? Help rebuild Anwyn?"
Bucephalus patted him on the back with his mammoth hand. "I will, my friend. Let me bring my lady from the mines, and we will work together to re-establish this realm. It will become a true sanctuary, a place of peace, like it was meant to be."
Libra and Juan cleared the wreckage of the farmhouse away with their magic, and found the portal, sealed by Scorpio's emerald. Libra cast a spell to turn the gem into mist, and they opened the hatch.
"Hello down there!" Bucephalus called down the mineshaft. "It's safe, we've won." Atla's smiling face soon came into view, and she climbed out to embrace Bucephalus.
"It's all over?" She asked.
"It is, we're safe," said Bucephalus.
She was followed by the Pillars, Orlando, Virgo and Xicarus. "What's next?" Virgo asked, surveying the ruined farmhouse first, and then the devastation of Anwyn.
"Libra and I are going to Cuahalan to try and stop the Witchkillers and rescue Oberon," Juan said. "Whoever wants to come with us is welcome. We're going to try and rally an army to overthrow Malachus."
"How will you get Cancer's sons on your side?" Virgo asked.
Libra smiled and said, "we've got someone they want to see."
Juan opened his pocket dimension and Cancer stepped out to meet them. Virgo began weeping and hugged Cancer.
Juan cleared his throat. "Cancer's was the last resurrection. Aquarius, Aries, Taurus, Capricorn, and Leo are dead. We are finite beings now. You who remain must decide whether to rebuild and continue the guild or to start something new entirely."
Libra said, "We will try and atone for the evils committed by Aquarius in Cuahalan and liberate those people."
Xicarus spoke up: “I want to go.”
Orlando said, “so do I. You’ll need me to guide you through the underworld network of the Faceless.”
