Epilogue (Finale : Part 2)

*September 17th , 2023*

*Aula County , Cassiopeia*

*Andromeda , sitting on her mother's bed , waiting for the woman to return home , was adorned in her ceremonial suit , golden shoulderpads , white , flowing cape , elegant bodysuit and a belt made out of pure diamonds . She tapped her fingers as the clock ticked on the wall , gazing outside the balcony's window onto the massive city of Aula County .*

*She was back on Cassiopeia , returned to the towers , having already assimilated the empire and disbanded it ....was ready to retire as monarch and go on about her life . Just like Spica advised . These two years passed by in the snap of a finger , and to end all of her suffering , she decided to end the person that started it . Aphrodite Vexan .....her mother .*

*When Andromeda came back from Earth , she didn't ask why she was covered in blood , or where Dahlia was . She still feels no remorse for tearing her sister in two , but it didn't hurt to ask . What about Parisphae ? No one heard word from her in over 200 years ....maybe she was dead too .*

*Suddenly , a click was heard as Aphrodite opened the bedroom's gold-encrusted sliding door , staring in disbelief as Andromeda stood up and walked over to her , hands behind her back and chin lifted slightly . Aphrodite immediately dropped her stylish bag and what-nots on the floor , shocked to see her daughter in her room in such an unexpected manner .*

*" Aquillia , what are you doing here ? " she managed to blurt out . Andromeda rolled her eyes at the mention of that name .*

*" It's Andromeda , mother . " she corrected , standing in place . " Like the galaxy . I changed my name decades ago." Aphrodite looked on with fearful eyes , knowing that her daughter was growing unstable as the minutes went by .*

*" O-of course ...Andromeda .....What are you doing here ? "*

*Andromeda looked up at the room's ceiling , sucking in her breath '. Not yet .....not yet . Let's drag this out a bit . ' , , she thought . Then she looked at her mother again , into her blue eyes . They weren't the same vibrant yellow like her daughter's . That particular trait came from her father , Dionysus . But Andromeda already put an end to that disgusting bastard before she was old enough to drink yet . And now , she was going to put an end to this bitch in front of her .*

*" You remember that time , mom ....when Sibirah and I came here ? " she wavered . " We asked you for our blessings ....not that time , before .....before we got married . "*

*Aphrodite had a face of slight disgust at the sound of Spica's name being mentioned .*

*" Please , honey . You know how I feel about that woman . She's insane . Mad and deranged . " then she wavered as well . " You may not like this , but I'm glad that you two are separated . It wasn't meant to be from the start , y'know ? Just a waste of time if anything more . "*

*Andromeda closed her eyes , not being able to control herself . This deep anger that churned up within her ....she could never control it . It always controlled her . Aphrodite walked closer to her daughter , arms out wide as she came in for a hug . Then she almost had it . An embrace . The very one that she longed for as a child ....but never gotten .*

*"Come on , sweetie ." she cooed . " Hug me back . It's going to be okay . "*

*Andromeda's eyes opened briskly as she saw her mom there , arms wide , ready to hug her . But she wasn't having any of it now . None of her lies . None of her useless sentiments . This was all going to end today .*

*" Andromeda ?..."*

*With a flash and a glowup , Andromeda's eyes shone with the deadly red energy as she opened her mouth .*

*" Put those fucking hands down by your sides , missy ."*

*Looking on in perpetual fear , Aphrodite stumbled back as she tripped onto the floor from walking over her bag , the sheer shock of what was going on ringing in her ears like a bell .*

*" Andromeda !! What are you doing ?!! "*

*Andromeda persisted as she walked towards her cowering mother .*

*"You promised me .....you fucking promised me . No more ....no more fucking bullshit . I'm your daughter ........I think that I deserved a little better from the whore that pissed me out all those goddamned years ago ." she spat out .*

*As Andromeda got down on one knee , Aphrodite whimpered as tears fell from face , the same face that was cupped between her daughter's hands .*

*" You know ,....I did want to love you ...but you made that so fucking difficult ....."*

*Leaning in , Andromeda gave her mother one last kiss on her forehead .*

*" I hope you understand why I'm doing this .."*

*Completely speechless , Aphrodite had no time to comprehend what was going on before Andromeda beamed through her head , completely boiling her brain inside , melting and burning her face and skull in the progress .*

*" I really hope that you do ....."*

*Sizzling with steam and smoke , Andromeda gently laid her dead mother on the floor , wiping the blood and cerebral fluid from her hands with the end of her mother's long , flowing dress .*

*" Now ....one more thing . "*

*Flying up through the roof , Andromeda smashed through and out of the skyscraper , flying some ways out before blasting both towers and the nearby servant facilities with a wall of lightning , watching as the titanic superstructures collapsed in a violent cloud of dust and smoke . She then flew away , returning to the Palace to pick up a few things and a very special present . The mere thought of returning to Earth and seeing Spica and her friends gave her butterflies , especially on the note that they left on...... but she wanted to take her wife's........ex-wife's advice . So what better way is there than letting the advisor teach her herself ?*

*" Oh God , I'm probably gonna need a lot more than a present to get her to forgive me ...." she thought .*

*A life on Earth will be rough , but hopefully .....worth it .*
