Reunion of the Century!
Linda of Jaunt Jolie, Gossip Correspondent for TheEndless Times
There are heroes. Then there are these heroes. Lets face it, We've all seen the whole School for Good and Evil student reunion thing many a time. So many heroes have done it, even Snow White (Letita of Maidenvale)! But this one is different. This one is the heroes from the Tale of Sophie and Agatha.
When word of the impending reunion leaked, 20 years after the girl's storybook closed, it's only natural that there was widespread excitement beyond anything ever seen. Especially when it was revealed to be hosted in my very own Jaunt Jolie, at the annual magicians tournament! Tickets sold out faster than you could say stymph, and the turnout was spectacular, word spreading faster than the wind itself. Perhaps no longer the sprightly teenagers of their youth, but certainly both recognisable and bearing their own children. Fans stampeded from everywhere, at the very least to get a glimpse of the so known "golden trio".
Dean of the School for Evil Edification, Sophie of Woods Beyond has most certainly still retained her beauty. Now married to Hort of Bloodbrook, the Dean is one of the most sucessful teachers in Evil's history- of course, trained by Leonora Lesso, how could she not be? She still wears the distinctive violet gown, but will never quite kick her habit of wearing stilletoed glass heels, much to her husband's vexation. When asked to get an interview earlier, she politely declined with "I'd rather not. You reporters will infer some stupid gossip from it. Adieu, darling." and departed. Has she got something to hide?
Accompanying her sister and best friend, it is only natural to see Queen Agatha of Camelot. The woman was perhaps not much of a looker in her younger years, but rather than losing her beauty, Agatha has gained it. But there is no doubt that Agatha of Woods Beyond is one of the greatest Queens ever to rule Camelot. She isn't, however, traditional. After all, how many Queens do things like, compete in tournaments, ride into battle alongside her husband, become a better adivisor than the actual advisors, does a large amount of paperwork, took down an assassin attempting to kill her on her own, as well as providing heirs, attending balls, and looking pretty? None. That's what I thought. We couldn't get any interviews off her either, due to the fact both her husband and her 16 year old son bear swords, her son's twin sister has a 5 foot spear, I have gossip she hides weapons in her dress, due to the fact she killed the aforementioned assassian by producing a dagger from her sleeve, and her youngest daughter is an extremely accomplished magician, let alone mention the fact Merlin is there as well. Best not to bother her.
Onto her husband. King Tedros doesn't look a day over 20, despite being 36. He hasn't lost a single battle over the years, and he has a reputation as a wise and just ruler. He is, some say, a greater king than his father, although I will withhold my opinion on this, due to the fact arguments over this are taken too seriously in Camelot. Moving on, Tedros seems now to show more efficency with Excalibur than before, perhaps due to both practice and sparring with the great knight, Sir Lancelot? He has also raised his children to be fighters, as the twins, Crown Prince Marcus and Princess Alexandra bear a sword and spear respectively, and Princess Eleanor is one extremely powerful mage.
But moving away from the trio, they are accompanied by a motley crew of their friends and classmates, ranging from Kiko of Neverland to Chaddick of Mount Honora to Hester of Ravenswood (who threatened to send her demon up my reporter's *censored* "if he didn't scat"). All of these graduated from the school and scattered into the woods, living out vaguely normal lives and trying to avoid getting mixed up in another fairy tale.
So later today, accompanied with loud screams, Sophie, Hort, Agatha and Tedros led their children (Marcus, Alexandra, Eleanor and Sophie's daughter, Annaleise, as well as the other children, including Hester's daughter, Nessa, an extremely fearsome girl) and friends to the VIP box in the stadium, trying to avoid screeching fans and news reporters- really, what is their deal with reporters? They watched the tournament in private, but eyewitness fans claim that Tedros was running some kind of betting pool, and Marcus and Annaleise were kissing in a corner, despite me not knowing whether that was true or not.
Well, thats all for now, although the tournament has another week to run! Send in your stories and gossip to me, and lets see if we can get a reporter to at least one person in the reunion party!
