W.I.T.C.H. fan: Okay guys only one more chapter after this just so you know.
The wedding
Later that same day, Matt's horse was walking by a fiver. He suddenly felt an urge to go into the water. As he walked through the river a hand reached up and grabbed the reins. The horse pulled the person to shore and he gasped for breath. The person was, readers rejoice, Matt! He had survived the fall.
"Good horse," Matt said weakly patting the horse's head.
Meanwhile, Will was standing in the palace of Queen Kadma of Zambala and was talking to the queen.
"What do you mean the princesses are gone?" Kadma asked.
"There was an accident your highness the royal carriage fell into the river and was destroyed," Will said.
"Oh that is indeed a grave loss," Kadma said. Then she looked to her advisors and they shook their heads. "But it does now altar my agreement with Queen Elyon. Unless the agreement is honored there will be no alliance with Meridian. A marriage was promised!"
"And I marriage there will be!" Will cried. "I would be honored to wed a prince of Zambala."
"You?" Kadma asked in shock.
Kadma's head advisor, Ironwood, turned to her. "My queen this is Will Vandom the hero of Meridian. A jewel in your crown. Far more dear then three mere princesses."
Kadma turned to her other advisors who nodded with smiles. Then she turned to Will with a smile. "This was not what we were promised, however the Golden Dragon of Unity smiled on you today Will. You will make a fine bride for my eldest son, Prince Uriah."
She gestured toward the other side of the room and some guards moved aside to reveal Uriah. He gave Will a disbelieving look.
"This is her? She's so old!" Uriah said.
Will cringed. 'This better be worth it!' She thought.
Nigel, Caleb, Eric, stood on the border of Zambala with Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin looking up at the palace.
"Wil said she was going to finish the mission no matter what," Nigel said.
"But how can she without us?" Taranee asked.
"By taking your place."
The princesses and the guards turned in shock to see Matt riding over to them on his horse.
"Matt!" They all cried happily, running over to him.
"Will was right," Matt said. "No one should marry someone they don't love. I'm going to Zambala."
"We're going with you!" Cornelia said.
"No you're not. Stay here," Matt said, riding off.
"Would you guys say that was on order?" Caleb asked.
Eric rubbed his chin. "I don't think so. To me it sounded more like, oh I don't know, a friendly suggestion?"
They all looked at each other and grinned.
"Let's go!" Nigel cried. Then they all ran off toward Zambala cheering and laughing.
Later that night, Will was standing in a balcony wearing a red wedding dress. She put on a golden crown and sadly looked down at Irma who was standing on the table next to her.
"It looks like we won't be a team after all Irma," She said.
Irma put her hands on either side of Will's face. "I'm telling you I would give up a thousand pedestals if I could stop this!" She whispered.
They heard a horn and Will looked at Irma. "I doubt even the Golden Dragon of Unity could stop this now. Goodbye Irma."
With that Irma, with tears running down her face, watched as her best friend walked away to become a bride.
