Compassion, understanding, acceptance.
The words rang true, through the two weeks that the celebration continued, as all the people of the planet came together in a time of peace and bonding. With a definite eye to the future and the peace that would be.
.
At the castle, Whisper and her family and friends celebrated as well, but also discussed long and carefully their own future plans.
Plans that would affect not only their lives, but the lives of all of those peoples, who inhabited all of the planets, that existed in the universe and the parallel universes that existed.
.
It was also time for all to reunite and catch up on times that were lost. Time for the newest members to get to know people who would become a part of their lives for many years to come.
A huge family reunion.
.
It was a good time.
.
The area around Angelita's castle had been transformed. The lake was gone and the river diverted far to the west. In its place was a huge open, grassy field that stretched for many miles, before returning to the forest and the mountains beyond.
.
It was the day after the two week celebration, that all the peoples of the planet were gathered at Angelita's castle.
It was now time for destiny's course to be written.
.
The people were gathered.
Whisper and her group were ready.
.
It was Whisper that first walked onto the balcony, which looked out over the millions of people gathered below and the hundreds of thousands of demons and half demons in the tree tops and the sky.
.
A loud cheer spread through those gathered as Whisper stood at the rail of the balcony.
She waited as the cheering subsided.
.
"It is a special day.
A day of new beginnings, new directions, a new future.
Evil has been vanquished. People have been reunited. Reunited with friends. Reunited with family.
It is a new beginning for this planet.
Your planet.
A planet that from this day forward shall be called Henosis.
A planet united."
Whisper raised her hands.
"To unity.
TO HENOSIS."
.
Another huge cheer went through the crowd, louder than the one before.
.
Whisper turned to those just inside.
She looked at Angelita.
"It is your turn, your Majesty."
.
Angelita walked to Whisper.
"Compassion, understanding and acceptance."
The two women kissed each others cheeks and Angelita replaced Whisper on the balcony.
.
The cheer was so loud it actually could be felt in the floors of the castle.
.
Tears filled Angelita's eyes, as she waved to her subjects, her family, as she waited for silence.
It took 15 minutes.
.
She wiped tears from her eyes.
"I am sorry.
I am sorry for the pain I caused you."
.
"NO.NO.NO," came the yells from below and above.
.
Angelita put up her hand.
"I allowed evil to seep into the very fabric of our lives and I allowed it to consume me.
I lost sight of what was important in my life."
She turned to the balcony doorway.
"My son."
Gareth joined her, amid the cheering.
"And the woman I love."
Patience joined her as well.
.
The two flanked Angelita, as the cheering continued.
.
"Henosis shall be the most incredible planet that ever existed and it will become this because of the amazing people that make up this planet.
We shall rebuild our homes and build new cities,
larger cities,
and we will move forward.
And with the help of some amazing friends, we shall become a self sufficient, prosperous and peaceful planet."
.
Cheers.
.
"I will remain as your Queen ..."
.
The castle shook from the cheering.
.
"My son, Price Gareth, shall rule with me ..."
.
More cheering.
.
"And my devoted and dearest Blinda, who from this day onward, will be known as Queen Patience, will rule by my side.
TOGETHER, WITH YOU, OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY ...
WE WILL SUCCEED."
.
Again the castle rocked.
.
"With the help of Sir Henry Tudor, Lady Tinsha and Lady Amy, we will begin a new era for Henosis. An era of peace and prosperity."
The three joined them on the balcony, amid more cheering.
"These three wonderful people, people you know, will be my voice among you. They will be there for you, when I am not able.
You will always have access to me."
.
More cheering.
.
"We will no longer be an isolated and forgotten planet.
With the help of Whisper and the new Creators, we will have the ability to travel to other planets and visit other peoples and civilizations. To learn with them, to share their technology and ideals.
Paths will open from this planet to every planet in the universe and we will have the opportunity to explore and grow with these peoples, through compassion, understanding and acceptance.
The three words that form the motto for this new era in our universe.
An era of the new Mother, Evangeline, the new Creators, the new Echelonte, and of course ...
the new era of Whisper."
.
Angelita motioned for all the others to join her.
The entire group was now on the balcony, holding hands.
.
The cheers were thunderous.
.
Evangeline hugged Angelita, as she walked to the front of the balcony. The others stepped back.
.
The millions below went to one knee in quiet reverence.
.
Evangeline felt a tightness in her chest and tears filled her eyes. Her breaths were but gasps.
She was not used to such respect.
She looked at Whisper.
.
'You will be okay, Mommy.'
.
Evangeline smiled, wiping her eyes.
"Please. Please.
Do not bow before me.
I am not your superior, I am your equal."
.
The masses rose to their feet.
.
"I am like many of you.
I have a family that I love more than life itself.
I have dreams and hopes.
I have fears."
She paused for a moment.
"I am just a woman.
My name is Evangeline.
I want you to call me Eva."
.
It was one voice at first and then two and then ten, ten thousand and then ten thousand times ten thousand.
All saying the name of the new Mother, over and over.
"Eva. Eva. Eva."
.
Whisper passed her mother a handkerchief, to wipe her tears, as she stood there, waiting for the chanting to stop.
.
Evangeline took a deep breath.
"Evil is not inborn in us. And the evil that you have witnessed, was created by one person, in an attempt to alleviate her own insecurities, fears and boredom.
We have taken this evil, from this planet, as we did on Earth and all of the planets of Earth, in the past.
And we will do the same throughout the entire universe.
It is my solemn oath and my solemn promise that myself and those who I entrust, will do everything in our powers to ensure that evil is destroyed, once and for all."
.
Another tremendous cheer erupted.
.
Whisper joined her mother, along with Serenity and Robbie.
.
"My daughter has made a commitment, along with her daughter and her future husband, that they will find and destroy every pocket of evil that still exists.
The universe shall be as it was...
A universe of peace and prosperity.
A universe, united.
A universe that is truly ...
one."
.
The cheers were defeaning, as the others once again reunited on the balcony.
.
They all held hands and raised them above their heads.
"We are all family," they said together, "united by compassion, understanding and acceptance."
.
The millions below emulated those on the balcony, holding hands and raising it above their heads, while repeating the three words,
"Compassion, understanding, acceptance."
.
The chant lasted for an hour.
