Author's Note: I decided to go ahead and post this, as it's short.

Epilogue

The Bretheren Arcanum and their friends and family had a rather enjoyable time at the Festival, playing the games, trying everything there was to try, and being together. Even Evarion lightened up a little after a time (namely on the second or third day). But during all this, they had no idea what was happening elsewhere...

"They are even more powerful than we thought."

"They are, master. But it was considerate of them to demonstrate their magic and endurance for us."

"Yes, it was. And of them personally I now know our main threat. With his Reflect the one named Vivi is the most dangerous."

"So what will we do now?" After a pause, the shadow-shrouded master laughed wickedly.

"We will do the worst thing possible." The scene in the mirror zoomed in on a certain person, and the demon grinned.

"Destroy him?"

"Even worse. We will capture him, and bend him to our will. Then we will send him after the Bretheren Arcanum!" The demon roared with laughter.

"They will refuse to harm him!"

"Exactly! And he will destroy them! After lal, puppets they were, and a puppet he shall me for me! Hahahahaha!"

Post A/N: The next Bretheren Fic will be in the FFIX category. Their enemy has a new plan, seemingly to turn someone close to the Bretheren against them. But who? A member of the family, or a friend, or one of the Bretheren themselves?
