If you like, please listen to it as a closing recap after reading or before going to bed.
~~~See you~~~
Elliot and Cat Dragon's adventures are passed down in the many places they have visited.
Their heroic actions in each place they visited, their epic battles using magical powers, and their journey around the world have captured people's hearts and been transformed into stories.
Sixty years have passed. It is the season when life begins to sprout. The spring sunlight is shining into Elliot's room.
The light that shines into the room illuminates his long life, and the walls are decorated with treasures that are testament to his adventures, and the memories of his adventures seem to quietly speak of the path his soul has taken.
Among them are photos of the journey with Cat Dragon, Alex, and Michael. The room is quiet, and the noise of the outside world seems far away.
Cat Dragon sits beside Elliot's bed and watches the moment his soul leaves this world and returns to the wheel of reincarnation.
His breath is light and gentle, like a seed carried by the spring breeze.
His body is here, but his spirit is already about to begin a long journey. His soul is ready to move on to a new cycle, replacing the vitality of spring.
The Cat Dragon watches over his departure.
Quietly and gently, he sends his soul back to the wheel of reincarnation.
His soul will sprout again in some new place in this world.
It is an eternal cycle, a mysterious transmigration of life.
As Elliot's soul is quietly released, the room is filled with warmth, as if announcing the beginning of a new season.
His adventure comes to an end, and his story lives on in a new form.
Bonds transcend time, change form, and continue forever.
As Elliot's soul returns to the wheel of reincarnation, the Cat Dragon meows, "Nnaa~u."
It is saying, "See you later."
~~~The Cat Dragon Story~~~
Time passed, and a long, long time had passed since Elliot's death. A cat dragon child and a human child were listening to a story told by the cat dragon in an old study.
Old maps and books with records of adventures were scattered around the room, and portraits of Elliot and his friends were hanging on the walls.
"Cat dragon, have you found the magic crystal that seals the power to affect the world?" the child who was listening to the story asked the cat dragon, his eyes shining with excitement.
The cat dragon slowly shook his head and said, "No, we haven't found it yet." He answered and looked into the distance with a nostalgic look on his face about the journey with Elliot and his friends.
Then he turned to the children, looked into their eyes and said. "But the journey never ends. It is passed down to our descendants and continues on new adventures. The names of Elliot, Michael, Alex, and myself will be remembered through the ages. Our journey will transcend time, change form, and continue forever."
The children were touched by Cat Dragon's words, and they dreamed of one day going on a great adventure of their own.
The light of a new season shone through the window of the study, and flowers were blooming outside.
This is where the adventure story of Elliot and Cat Dragon comes to an end, but a new journey for a new generation and a new era continues, and the pages of "The Story of Cat Dragon" will never be marked END.
