You held your head like a hero
On a history book page
It was the end of a decade
But the start of an age
Peony sucked a deep breath in, her gentle eyes meeting Cress's. They shared a look of shock and awe.
Everything had gone to plan, Levava had been dethroned, allowing Cinder to complete the revolution, and for Luna to be saved. Peony smiled as widely as she could, unable to believe that they had done it, unable to believe that the revolution was actually over.
Cinder stood in the middle of the room, shakily breathing as she stood over Levana's weak body. Levana grasped at Cinder's cheek, before her arm hung onto her side, her eyes staring at Cinder in anger.
Peony's sister snatched the crown off of Levana's head, with a grimace on her face. A guard, came in from one of the doorways, grabbing the limp body of the former queen, and taking her, it Peony corrected to what Peony guessed would be the palace morgue. Jacin, the guard Peony remembered, grabbed the crown from Cinder and handed it to Winter, the other princess. Winter turned on her heel and rested the crown onto a broken pillar.
Everyone else stood in the throne room, shakily breathing, as they shared looks of surprise and happiness.
"Wow." Thorne spoke before gently hugging Cress who had tucked herself into his arms, the deep red bruise on her arm becoming darker. They smiled at each other, as Thorne pressed a light kiss against Cress's forehead. He looked up towards the rest of the group.
Peony looked at him as he continued, as she ran a hand through her sweaty locks of hair. "We actually did it huh? The revolution is actually over."
Scarlet - the french girl snorted before stepping towards Cinder and enveloping the girl in a tight hug.
Scarelt replied to Thorne as she continued to hold a shooken up Cinder. "Damn right we did. And we wouldn't have been able to do it with this girl starting it all off." Cinder dipped her head embarrassed and blushing bright red as Scarlet gently kissed her forehead. Noticing her sister's embarrassment, Peony tried not to laugh.
Iko bounced on the balls of her heels as she ran towards Cinder hugging her tightly. Peony followed wrapping her arms around her sisters and Scarlet, her smile practically plastered on her face. Wolf joined next, kissing Scarlet's forehead as he smiled at the other three girls. Cress, Winter and Thorne followed joining the group hug as Cinder stood in the middle, heavily breathing. Jacin stood to the side, sending a curt nod to Cinder who nodded back.
It was finally over, and with the end would come a new reign, as a new life for all of them was about to begin. And all Peony could think, was that no matter how history wrote this story, the eight of them, nine if you counted Kai would be remembered.
