My d&d group had decided after being done with this campaign for nearly a year to get back together and play an epilogue style couple of sessions taking place 20 years after their battle with those that sought to bring about the apocalypse. I was very happy to reprise my role as Valerie, now a happy mother, and even grandmother to her old adventuring party's kin.

Since the thwarting of what was supposed to be the prophesied emergence day, wife and husband Valerie and Alcaeus hung their swords and near immediately retired to Valerie's home in the rabbit village. Where they took over her parent's bakery, away from the dangers of adventuring. While the rest of her party continued on adventuring for some years after them, they lived the good life.

Valerie would continue to bake with her mother and father until their eventual passing, and Alcaeus joined the city guard to give the once incapable rabbit forces a means to defend their village should any trouble stem their way. The bakery began to flourish where everyone in rabbit village, and even beyond would know the wondrous taste and love of Lilac's Bakery. The Rabbit Village guard became a force to be reckoned with as well, though they have no desire to expand their homestead, no one will dare attempt to take theirs.

With all of these going on though, the couple put their main focus on what they both wanted most, a family. They expanded their home and bakery to accommodate for a modest sized family. However what Alcaeus would soon realize is a modest sized family in the rabbit village lead to one hundred and fifty little rabbits. Bright eyed like their mother, fluffy all around like their father, and perfect in every way (at least according to them.)
Valerie's maternal instinct kicked in right away. The once impenetrable stoic soldier who cut down beast and men alike to meet her goal for a better world, had finally won it, and she was going to be there to reap in all the benefit. Alcaeus had a bit of a tough time adjusting, as he didn't have the internal rabbit culture and instinct to take care of so many young, but he did his best. The rabbit village people also played their part in helping the family flourish. It takes a village to raise a family after all!

Even the party's children had made regular visits to the rabbit village to see who they would call their Gramma Val.

One year turned to two, turned to ten, and soon twenty years had passed. Valerie's fur and hair had begun to gray from their once vibrant lilac hues, and her body had to make room for all the children and baked goods. Alaeus much the same, despite his best efforts to try and fight the urge to steal his wife's baked goods from the counters. All truly was happily ever after.
