Epilogue:
The Heralds Duty
**Captain Marvel**, once Earth's protector, now stands as Galactus's Herald. She
watches from the cosmic expanse, her heart torn between duty and memory.
Earth's defenders—Apocalypse, Sinister, Dark Beast, and the Silver Surfer—have
achieved the impossible. They weakened Galactus, sent him away to feed
elsewhere. Earth is safe, but at what cost?
The battle's echoes fade, and Captain Marvel gazes at the distant planet she once
called home. Her satisfaction is bittersweet. She remembers the heroes' courage,
their sacrifice. She remembers Earth's beauty—the blue oceans, the green forests,
the laughter of children.
But duty calls. Galactus's hunger knows no bounds. She must resume her role—the
Herald, the cosmic messenger. She'll guide him to new worlds, watch as he devours
them. She'll witness civilizations rise and fall, their dreams extinguished.
And in those quiet moments between planets, she'll remember Earth—the
defenders, the hope. She'll wonder if there's a way to save more than she consumes.
But the universe is vast, and she is but a speck in its cosmic tapestry.
Captain Marvel spreads her wings, streaks across the void. Her heart heavy, her
resolve unyielding. She is the Herald—the harbinger of worlds' end.
