"Why don't you simply bow to my will?!" The enchantress was vexed. She had placed him in the room adjoining hers. She had used every trick to win his adoration and obedience. The man, however, possesses Herculean strength against her wiles. "You have given me no choice. I will get your secrets even if I must resort to turning you into a mindless beast." A month had passed and he was still silent. She strapped him onto the bed and picked up the vile of cloudy blue liquid. "You are going to drink this and then you will spill your guts."
Kyoko finally found the castle and was able to scale the wall. She stood now on the balcony of a large well lit room and there through the adjoining door was Sir Tsuruga and he saw her too.
His eyes widened and he broke his vow of silence. "I change my mind I want to talk with you over dinner…downstairs…right now." The queen smiled. "That is what I thought. I'll go downstairs and fix that up right now." Once she was gone Kyoko went in and untied Ren. They slowly made their way down through the window and in through the servant's door. Ren told Kyoko to stay but she would hear none of it. She glared and in hushed harsh tones explained that she had not come this whole way to be written so easily out of the adventure. She snuck up on the queen and froze when the wolf was standing opposite her. Kyoko raised a silent finger to her lips and Reino nodded in understanding. Kyoko whirled the witch toward the two of them and she flashed between the features of Tina and Saena Mogami. Ren could see in the wolf what was about to happen and he wouldn't allow Kyoko to witness it. There was a flash of white, a surge of cold, and there standing above the new pile of snow was a young man in a white fur coat. He bowed his head toward the two adventurers. "Milady thank you, as his majesty weakened her day by day with his resistance I simply needed her confused so I may return myself and the rest of the mountain denizens to their true forms.
"Your welcome…wait…your majesty?" She looked at Ren and he put his right index finger on his smiling lips to silent a question but it meant she could swak him in the right shoulder.
For the first time in centuries the mountain bloomed and leafed and for the first time in decades the true royal family was on the throne.
To Whom It May Concern,
You are cordially invited to the royal wedding of Prince Kuon and Lady Kyoko.
We look forward to your presence at these most joyous of nuptials.
Sincerely,
The Royal family
Shotaro threw the invitation to the ground, "They didn't even address it to me!"
Fuwa aside, they all lived happily ever after.
