AN: I don't own Victorious or any of the characters. I just keep them alive through my stories. I make no money from my use of these Characters.

Epilogue

"Richard, Victoria? Come now." Queen Jadelyn called to her two beautiful children.

The three walked through the meadow to the base of the large hill that rose up behind the Windborne Castle. When they got to the large cement monument they stopped. "Mommy what does it say?" Richard asked.

"It says, Tanis lays here. She gave herself for all of us. This dragon died so that we might live." Jade wiped away a tear that was rolling down her face.

"Did you know here mommy?" Victoria asked hugging her mother.

"Yes honey I knew her. My friend The Dragon Rider rode her in the Last Great War. I knew her well." Jade said through her tears.

Jade placed the flowers against the monument. It seemed like a good idea when she cut them in the garden, but now it seems like such an insignificant thing to be doing at the grave of one who did so much for you.

The last eight years seemed to fly by, but in reality there had been a lot of things that have happened. After the war was over the two kingdoms were joined into one large kingdom, Algencourt. Jade met a young man and fell in love with him. They were married and moved to the old Castle of Turridica. They named the castle Tharfield.

Not long after her marriage, King Richard took ill and died. A month later she was named Queen of Algencourt and all its lands. Soon after Tori and Pythios decided to leave and go to live in the outer lands. They would return to visit once and a while like at the birth of her son and then again two years later for the birth of her namesake.

Jade knew that Tori was never far. She knew if she was needed for the protection of the realm she would be there. Tori was still watching. Every now and then she left evidence of this on the monument of her friend Tanis. When Jade would take her walk she would see a small gift like a bone or a coin left on the monument's base.

Queen Jade rose to her feet and dried her tears and took her daughter's hand and walked back toward the castle. "Mommy I am named after Grandpa Richard right!" Richard asked.

"Yes Richard you are named after Grandpa Richard." Jade answered. This was a game that Richard always liked to play.

"He was your father right?"

"Yes, he was my father."

"He was the King wasn't he?"

"Yes he was the King, Richard."

"See Victoria I am important." Richard stuck his tongue out at her and ran off ahead.

"Don't listen to him Victoria. You are named after someone important too." Jade said to her angelic little girl.

"I am named after The Dragon Rider aren't I Mommy?"

"Yes you are my love."

"She is your best friend for life isn't she Mommy?"

"Yes and longer."

"Tell me more about her Mommy."

"Well she was born to a peasant family and lived in the village down there. We played in the ruins of the Keep when were a little older than you. She made a promise to protect your mommy for ever. She is smart and strong. She could ride a dragon and fight like a knight. She was more beautiful than a sunrise and …..she walked with dragons.
