As the month came to an end, Delegates from the various kingdoms arrived in New Ottawa for the signing of the treaties.
Demon Lord Kazuto and his delegation ate at the New Chalet II, where Blades was serving up plenty of Ottawan classic foods and some new items on the menu for the launch of this new restaurant.
Eight special orders Blades! From Demon Lord Kazuto's table.
Alright team, let's bow their taste buds away!
Yes Chef!
As the Elven King Reesharon arrived, he and his delegation relaxed in the New Ottawan Hot Springs bath-house. The city was in full swing getting ready for the big day just a few days aways.
Meanwhile, Tempest and their team began to set up the Committee Building for the signing of the treaties.
Lord Tempest, have you thought about what comes after the treaties and the Overlord's departure?
I haven't given it much thought as we have all been busy getting ready for this. Now let's stay focused on this task. Tomorrow morning the Delegates and Kings will be in here to sign this treaty.
Right!
Tempest looked out the window looking over the city of New Ottawa. The city was lit by candlelight, everything was finally peaceful. After everything they'd survived just to get to this moment...
The Ghost would've loved to see it like this. Said Spencer holding Tempest.
It was what he was fighting for after all. A peaceful world and our peaceful city.
The next morning, citizens and delegates entered the building to witness the treaty signing. As the Kings took their seats, Tempest remained standing. Magic gemstones were being used to broadcast the signing across the various nations.
Today isn't just any other day. Today marks the day our hero, the Ghost of Ottawa had been fighting for. The day New Ottawa found a place in it this strange yet new and blooming world. With these treaties, we forge a new path ahead and look to the future with hope! We still have enemies out there, so we must remain vigilant. After the ceremony following the signing of these treaties, our very own Overlord is taking an elite team back through the barrier in the hopes of reclaiming our homelands. The Ghost left his successor a letter I wish to read to you know. "To my successor, I understand the weight of this job is heavier than the burden placed upon Atlas's shoulders. Atlas was to carry the weight of the world, however crossing the barrier has placed the weight of two worlds upon your shoulders. Know this burden isn't yours alone to carry. Have faith in the citizens and our allies."
With those words, I sign will sign the treaties.
As Tempest sat down and put their signature on the treaties, the crowd began to cheer as the leaders stood up and shook hands.
If everyone will accompany us to the city center, we have one final thing to unveil to the world.
As the Kings, citizens and Tempest made their way to the city center, Archie, Scott and the various workers from CIMCO II were standing around the a large tarp. As they pulled on ropes, it was the statue of Patricia May, but now there was a iron statue of the Ghost of Ottawa standing next to her, point at would could only be described as the future.
Around the kingdoms, cheers and claps were had as this was a gift to New Ottawa from the various nations, assembled by CIMCO II, raised by Archie, Scott, the Overlord, Barbara and Judge Allen Rogers.
As the cheers died down, Archie stepped forwards to speak.
Upon this Iron Plaque, the following words are inscribed, "Patricia May showed the way with kindness of heart, and the Ghost saved the world using his heart. May those who read this take heart and rise to challenge of building a better tomorrow."
Tears of happiness rolled down the cheeks of New Ottawa's citizens as they clapped for this memorial of their Guide and Hero. As the big day concluded, there was a massive feast to celebrate the treaties ratification. Ale and food were plentiful and it was a sight to behold.
