Epilogue

(Part 2)

Lord Dannyl:

Dannyl was fired as the Elyne Ambassador by Lorlen (for neglecting his ambassadorial duties). The magician lived in the Great Library with Tayend for some time afterwards. By the time a year passed, they got sick of the dusty old building, and so they moved into Dem Laddie's castle after his death (who had conveniently willed out the castle to them before he died, after finding out that Tayend was his grandson).

Dannyl rarely visited Kyralia, because he couldn't bear the overly conservativeness and homophobia any longer. Whenever he did visit the Guild with Tayend, he would make the scholar dress up in red Warrior robes and pretend to be a magician, so that no one would be suspicious. But for some reason, gangs of slash-obsessed novice girls still chased after them.

The magician still loved experimenting, and he eventually invented the Philosopher's Stone. From this he concocted the Elixir of Life, and made himself and Tayend immortal. He also invented bubble bath, which greatly enhanced his bath-time antics with Tayend.

The scholar successfully managed to help Dannyl accept being a lad. This was achieved after hours upon hours of shopping, drinking wine, and watching shirtless acrobats together.

Dannyl and Tayend finally got round to doing some research together. They wrote several bestselling books including, Tayend's Ultimate Guide to Seduction, Lord Dannyl's Guide to Sex Slang, and 101 Ways to Successfully Start a Rumour.

Tayend of Tremmelin:

Bel Bella was kind enough to give Tayend a five year modelling contract for her weekly magazine, Bella's Beauties. He quit after six months, because the fangirls kept sending him disturbing fanfiction. However, he still worked part time as a Capia Catwalk model, and this provided ample income to provide for himself and Dannyl.

Before moving out of the Great Library, the scholar discovered that some of the most boring books turned out to be the most valuable. He sneakily stole some of these books, and sold them to pay for his hair insurance.

The Elyne still regularly attended dubious parties, despite Dannyl's concerns. But the scholar learned to control his alcohol addiction after Dannyl forced him to spend a few weeks in a rehab centre in Imardin. Incidentally, Tayend's stay there allowed him time to reflect on the prevalence of alcohol-related issues in Elyne society. This inspired him when he took part in the competition to design a new royal symbol for the Elyne court. Everyone was sick of the old symbol, a fish jumping over a bunch of grapes. Queen Gaga and all the courtiers agreed that Tayend's new design was a much more suitable reflection of Elyne culture – a fish stuck in a wine bottle.

Tayend won the competition, and his prize was a lifetime's supply of Vindo acrobats – who helped to keep him entertained whenever Dannyl was busy or away. The acrobats worshipped Tayend, and called him King Tay. He also used them to guard his and Dannyl's castle from crazy fangirls.

The scholar's beauty was well renowned in Elyne, and he won various grand awards. Most notably, he has been winning the Rear of the Year competition for the last few years, and he has no intention of letting anyone else take his place. He sometimes loses out on the Sexiest Legs of the Year award, but that's usually because Dannyl wins it instead (the judges evidently prefer long legged men).

Tayend founded The Closet Club, where lads met up to gossip about fashion, men, and other lad topics. Dannyl initially had reservations about Tayend's new friends. But after he joined in with their parties, he found that he quite enjoyed having some frivolous fun with men who accepted who he was. And anyway, in Dannyl's opinion, he had done enough real work to last him a life time.

The End

Thank you so much for reading my parody everyone - I really appreciate every single review and I hope you all enjoyed the ride as much as I did! I started scribbling this parody down almost two years ago, and I still can't believe I've finally finished posting it, and more importantly how generous everyone has been with their feedback and support.

Unfortunately I'm not sensible enough to kick the habit and give up parody writing, many of you already know I've started to inflict The Complete Novice Spoof on the world of fanfiction, and I've got ideas for a loose sequel to the Novice Parody, which deals with Tayend's "Closet Club" meetings with his friends. So you have been warned in advanced… ;D
