Epilogue B
A year had passed since the incident in the space station and Balthoron rode on the back of Julius, wearing noble's attire, "Thanks for this, Uncle Julius." Julius nodded, "It's good seeing that you're going to make peace with your brother, finally." Balthoron nodded as they landed on the grounds of the Rapier base, Balthoron slid off Julius and looked to one of the soldiers, "Excuse me, sir." The soldier looked at him, "General Miyamae, what do you need?" Balthoron shook his head, "No need to formalities with me, Soldier, I'm not a General anymore." The soldier nodded, "Sorry about that, General. I mean Balthoron. You're here to see your brother?" Balthoron nodded slightly, "Yes, I have to talk to him about something, very important." The soldier nodded, "General Miyamae is in the medical wing right now. He's recovering from an important operation at the moment." Balthoron nodded, "Thanks, I'll go see him now."
Balthoron walked into the base and followed the signs as he adjusted his shirt, though he was nobility, he saluted every one of the soldiers that saluted him on his way to the Medical wing of the base. Once he reached the wing, he entered the infirmary and looked at the nurse, "I'm looking for Tsuyoshi Miyamae." The nurse looked at him, "What's your name and why are you on the base?" Balthoron nodded, surprised that someone didn't know him, "Balthoron Miyamae, noble of the Kitsune People, I'm here to see my older brother." The nurse nodded, "Alright then, General Miyamae is down the hall, in the third recovery room." Balthoron nodded slightly and walked down the hall and knocked on the door in question, before he heard his brother's voice speak up, "Come in." Balthoron walked in and placed his coat on the back of the door, before closing it, "Hope you don't mind if I remove my coat."
Tsuyoshi turned towards him, bandages were over his eyes, "I cannot see you, little brother, but I welcome you to be casual in here." Balthoron laughed nervously about that and scratched the back of his head with a gloved hand, "About that, I'm not dressed casually." Tsuyoshi nodded, "Came here in uniform." Balthoron rolled his eyes to the side, "Not exactly, look, I'm here for a very specific reason, big brother." Tsuyoshi nodded, "What is it, but first, will you remove these bandages from my head, I wish to see you with my own eyes for the first time since the Galactic War's start." Balthoron nodded and grabbed one of the bandages and grabbed a scalpel off a table, cutting the bandage and wrapping the bandages off Tsuyoshi's head, Balthoron wondered what was going on underneath.
Tsuyoshi spoke up, "I see some light, but... it's very dim." Balthoron sighed, "Well, it's about to get incredibly bright, I hope you know this." Tsuyoshi nodded and Balthoron grabbed Tsuyoshi's head, "Don't move." Tsuyoshi chuckled, "Sorry about that." Balthoron sighed, "You got to remember that I'm a doctor." Tsuyoshi sighed, "I thought you were a General?" Balthoron was a bit silent as he removed the last of the bandages from Tsuyoshi's eyes, Tsuyoshi closed his eyes and Balthoron knew why, "Open them slowly, your eyes will adjust to the light." Tsuyoshi did as Balthoron said and Balthoron looked into his brother's eyes, "I thought your natural eye color was green." Tsuyoshi chuckled, "You're not going to remark on me getting a pair of cloned eyes?" Balthoron shook his head and placed the bandages on the table, "It's possible to get one, just far more difficult." Tsuyoshi chuckled, "Fine, they used lasers to change the color of my irises."
Balthoron nodded, "Usually they do that while your eyes are in your head." Tsuyoshi nodded, "So what are you here for, brother? It can't be military business, you're dressed in the attire of a Kitsune Noble." Balthoron sighed, "I'm retiring, Tsuyoshi, I've tried therapy, I tried medication. But nothing works, I can't accept the fact that I'm leading a mercenary unit when I think that I'm going to lead them to their deaths." Tsuyoshi nodded, "You have survivor's guilt. It's common for what you went through, little brother, but I understand what you choose." Balthoron nodded, "I'm going to take up my medical practice and open a clinic within the Kitsune Kingdom. I'm handing command of the Raptors to you, it would be a great time to finally merge our two mercenary groups and stop fighting. Our father would be ashamed of us."
Tsuyoshi hugged Balthoron and smiled, "Going to have to reject your offer of the Raptors, brother. I'm retiring as well, after learning the truth about what happened when I was in a coma, and almost losing you has taught me that you're not my enemy, you're my little brother. And though I have yet to forgive the Thraxi for killing my son and taking my original eyes, I've learned to live with the fact. My ex-wife and I are finally talking again, and I learned that my daughter had survived the Galactic War. Things are finally looking up for us again, little brother." Balthoron nodded, "Big brother, what are you going to do, for most of your life, you were a Foreign Service Officer, but you became a military commander out of necessity, you don't really have many skills beyond all of this, you know?" Tsuyoshi sighed, "You're right, but I'm sure our great-grandmother would accept me."
Balthoron nodded slightly, and broke the hug, going to his coat and pulling something out of his pocket, "Here, I got this for you, it was supposed to be a peace offering, but now it's just a gift." Balthoron handed it to Tsuyoshi, who looked at it, "An old picture of the family, all of us together..." Tsuyoshi cried slightly, "You think that now that we've finally made peace with each other Misaki and Harumi will finally return to us and we can all be a family again?" Balthoron nodded, "I"m sure of it, Tsuyoshi. We just need to show them that we're no longer hostile towards each other and no longer willing to tear apart the family." Tsuyoshi nodded slightly, "Shame it took me almost losing you..." Balthoron continued and looked out the window as pain shot through his heart, "And for me to lose hundreds of my friends to a Menschilche bioweapon for us to finally reconcile..." Tsuyoshi sighed slightly, "Their deaths weren't in vain, Balthoron. You avenged them..." Balthoron nodded with a slight smile, "Thanks, big brother."
