Love Stories From Starlight Kingdom (epilogue)

A little wrap up to the tale.

--------

													Epilogue.

The dark days that had hovered over Starlight Kingdom for over a decade came to an end that year. With each passing season, and each broken curse, the days became brighter, warmer, and more joyful.

In the spring, the people rejoiced at their princess' health and the loyalty of her knights. Together, the three of them now visit the town and greet the people on a daily basis, accepting gifts and kind words as the princess uses her status and skills to settle controversies and make peace.

In the summer, the two farmer girls known for their lavish orchards come into town together bearing amazing crops, the quite literal fruits of their labor. They always walk in hand-in-hand, equally ruffled from the work, and always smiling as they bring the people the best foods they've ever eaten.

During the fall, the archer girl who used to come alone to the town's square now comes with whom she calls her new assistant at her side. Together, they are able to give even more outstanding performances than ever before, and fill the people's hearts with fun.

And at the end of winter, the news of the beast locked away in the castle at the top of the darkest mountain trickles down into town. The rumor that had terrified so many for so long had turned into a story of hope, acceptance, and love. The girl who had secluded herself for so many years ventures into town at last with the wandering swordswoman on her arm, telling their tale of how they broke the deadly curse, giving the people more hope and reason to love than ever before.

The veil of curses that had once stifled the air is finally lifted, allowing the sunlight to shine down over all. Peace comes like it's never come before, settling over the hearts of every person no matter how young or old, how rich or poor, how lonely or loved.

On a lucky day, you'll be able to meet the princess and her loyal knights in the morning, purchase amazing food from the farmer girls at noon, watch the archer and her assistant's act by evening, and hear the wanderer and the former monster tell their tale by nightfall.

Starlight Kingdom is soon known not for its dark magics and curses, but for its tales of virtue and triumph.

All nine souls troubled with tragedy rose above the odds, bested the impossible, and challenged fate itself.

All for love.

And the sun shines warmly to this day.
