Chapter Twenty-Five: Epilogue
The field was quiet as they paid respect for the mourn of Prince Thomas. James cried his heart out as he knew that Thomas must have died from his wicked stepmother's last act before she was no more. Then James remembered the vow that if Thomas died, he will die with him. James wanted to be with Thomas again and couldn't care less about others. All he wanted was Thomas and Thomas's loved ones wanted Thomas to wake up as well.
Just then, a purple aura glowed around Thomas and James's body, and then a purple heart went into Thomas's chest. No one noticed it until… Thomas moaned as he opened his sky blue eyes slowly and he placed his hand on James's cheek. James gasped in surprise and saw his Thomas awoke, "Thomas?", he cried as his tears began to stop flowing.
Thomas kissed James on the lips quickly and smiled weakly, "James. We did it."
"Thomas!", cried James in joy as he hugged Thomas. Everyone raised their heads and gasped in joy. William, his children, Percy, and James's friends' tears flowed down their cheeks with pure happiness as Thomas was alive by the power of love. Everyone was happy that Thomas was awake and that the two princes' love had won, and Frankie was gone. They all cheered for them. The love between them could never be destroyed, even in the darkest time.
Then William went to James, who put Thomas down gently and was helping him to stand up, "James."
James went quiet and looked at Thomas's father with a worried expression, "Yes."
William sighed and smiled, "I just wanted to say I was so sorry about everything and how I let my hate for your kingdom nearly got destroyed. I'm very proud of your heroism and I'm glad that your brother is alive."
James smiled back as he hugged Thomas. Then Hiro went to William and bowed for respect, then does it to Edward and Henry. Just then James mustered up his courage and asked him, "William, may I have your son's love?"
William chuckled and patted James's back, "Yes you can son."
James was touched on what William had said. He didn't expect for him to allow him to be with Thomas at all. Then James hugged William and everyone smiled. Then they all cheered for victory and they all screamed for Thomas and James. Their love survived and Frankie's hate had perished.
Two months passed and everything was at peace. Hiro got his rightful throne and was crowned king of the Fyre kingdom, Gordon recovered from his near-death injuries, Edward and Henry got their subjects feeling safe once more, William now found his peace from the conflicts, Percy and Rosie found love and most importantly, James and Thomas's love saved the kingdoms.
Thomas and James were happy that everything was restored and they both knew that their love can never be torn apart. James and Thomas would often spend time together every day and often play some games, just like what they did when they were very young. They felt that they were finally in peace.
Then one faithful day, James and Thomas were riding on their horses to explore the forest. They liked strolling around to catch some air and to escape from attentions, "Isn't it peaceful?", asked Thomas as he sighed in happiness.
"Yes Thomas, especially when I'm with you.", replied James as he winked at him.
Thomas blushed and giggled, "I wanted to show you something.", said James with a big smile on his face.
"Let me guess? Another secret place?", joked Thomas.
"Even better, come!", replied James and he and Thomas got off their horses.
James covered Thomas's eyes and Thomas giggled, "Hey! You could have told me to close my eyes!"
Then James led Thomas to their destination and he uncovered Thomas's eyes, "Look!"
Thomas gasped as he saw a giant ballroom with a golden chandelier above, a bunch of purple banner with a golden unicorn on it, and two royal throne chairs. Could it be the Harmonia kingdom?
"Is it… is it?", asked Thomas.
"Yes, Thomas. The Harmonia kingdom has been restored.", replied James with a huge grin.
Then the two looked around the restored kingdom and Thomas's mouth was wide with awe. Everything looked new and everything was grand. Just then James opened the door that led them to the royal garden. Thomas gasped. The royal garden had a fountain of a golden unicorn that has its horn spraying out with water, lots of butterflies, and most importantly, there were blue, red, and purple flowers. Thomas felt like this place was heaven.
"It's beautiful James.", said Thomas quietly as he smiled.
James smiled at his Thomas then he looked away with a blush, smiling. Then he looked back and cleared his throat, "Thomas. I-I got a question?"
Thomas smiled, "What is it?"
Just then James knelt and reached out a purple box. Then James opened the box to show a golden ring shaped like a lotus flower and inside the flower, was an amethyst gemstone as the pollen. Thomas's eyes began to build with tears and covered his mouth.
"Thomas? Will you marry me and rule together over this kingdom?"
Thomas nodded, "Yes!"
James smiled and placed the ring gently onto Thomas's right ring finger and the two kissed tenderly.
After a year was passed, the coronation took place on the same day as the wedding day. Every guest throughout every kingdom were all invited and. They were all looking forward to it. James wore a purple royal wedding/coronation suit laced with golden swirls and some amethyst gems on it. James smiled from ear to ear. Nia was the one who read out the bible as a priestess and to crown the kings of the Harmonia kingdom. Percy was the best man and Rosie was the maid of honour. Emily was the ring bearer.
Everyone was there wore purple for not only to honour of the Harmonia kingdom but to symbolise the love between James and Thomas. They were all looking forward to it. Just then, Phillip played "Here Comes the Bride" with the organ as Connor and Caitlin opened the door to reveal William holding Thomas's hand.
Everyone gasped in awe and James stared at Thomas with his mouth a bit wide in awe. His Thomas wore a purple royal wedding/coronation suit laced with some amethyst gems and golden strips on it. He looked stunning. James smiled and he thought he looked like an angel that came from the heavens above.
Then the two walked passed the hallway where everyone was sitting. They were happy that Thomas was getting married and be crowned king with James. About a quarter away from James stood Edward, Henry, Gordon, Scot, Scot's new love, Spencer, and Hiro on the left side. They were all proud of Thomas, even Gordon began to cry in tears of joy. Scot patted his twin brother's back. Gordon shoved his brother gently away in annoyance.
Finally, Thomas reached to James, and the two both smiled at each other with pure love. William let Thomas's hand go went to stand next to Edward. Then the two looked at Nia, "Dearly beloved, we gathered here today to witness the union of Prince James and Prince Thomas from two different kingdoms. Their love is undeniably so powerful, so strong that had brought peace again and restored the forgotten kingdom thanks for their bravery, kindness, and wisdom."
During the speech, James and Thomas kept looking at each other with love and smiled. They knew that this is their day and everyone was happy for them.
"Do you Thomas take James to be your lawfully wedded husband? To love and to cherish, for the rich and the poor, in sickness and health, as long as you both shall live on this land?", asked Nia.
Thomas looked at James and smiled, 'I do."
"And do you James; take Thomas to be your lawfully wedded husband? To love and to cherish, for the rich and the poor, in sickness and health, as long as you both shall live on this land?", asked Nia.
James kept staring at Thomas's pure face that he had forgotten what Nia had asked. "Psst, James?', asked Percy quietly.
"Your cue?", added Emily.
James shook his head from his daydreaming and smiled, "I do."
Nia smiled, "May I have the rings? They needed it before the birds will sing."
Then Emily held out a purple cushion with two golden rings on it. There Thomas and James grabbed out the rings and looked at each other happily, "I, James, take Thomas to be my husband.", said James as he placed a golden ring with ruby gems on it, next to Thomas's engagement ring.
"I, Thomas, take James to be my husband.", said Thomas as he placed the golden ring with sapphire gems on it into James' finger.
The rings were all made by the Skarloey dwarfs and they were all there for the wedding too. They were invited not only from Hiro but from the two lovers. They were all happy that the two were together.
But before Nia can announce them together, she then asked, "Toby and Flora, may I have the crowns? They need it to show their reign to the whole town."
The two grabbed a royal cushion with two golden crowns, laced with designs and purple gems. Then the two new kings placed their head down as Nia placed the crown on James and Thomas's head.
As they both raised their heads and Toby and Flora were smiling from ear to ear. Nia then announced, "Now I pronounce them King James and King Thomas of Harmonia kingdom. They will share their knowledge and wisdom. Their love will bring out happiness and will get rid of the gloom. You now may kiss the groom."
Then the two kissed tenderly and everyone clapped and cheered, "Long live King James and King Thomas."
The two new crowned kings walked down the hall and waved in royalty way and smiled. Everyone was happy for them.
That night at the royal garden, where the reception was, Thomas and James waltzed together slowly where it was played by Oliver and his band. Everyone watched them the two danced with their smile on their faces.
"I say they do make a beautiful couple.", smiled Henry as he looked at Edward.
"I couldn't agree more.", replied Edward as his tears of happiness flowed down his cheeks, "I'm just so proud of him.'
William stood next to Scot and his new love, "I'm just so happy for them and I'm glad you found somewhere to live Scot."
Scot smiled, "It's just too bad I missed out on everything but I'm just glad Thomas found his love and their kingdom like I did at the Woodson kingdom."
Meanwhile, Hiro was standing there, watching his little brother with Thomas with a smile on his face when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned his head to see Spencer, "Oh hello Spencer, it's been years?"
Spencer blushed and nodded, "Hiro? I just wanted to say I'm I sorry I wished you dead when we were young before you got attacked.", sighed Spencer sadly and felt the shame.
"It's okay.", replied Hiro, "We have those days when we say things that we don't mean it. I already forgive you.", he smiled gently.
Spencer looked at him and smiled. Then they both blushed and looked away, smiling.
Just then Rebecca noticed some other people were now joining in the waltz. Edward was with Henry, Scot with his new love, Hiro with Spencer, Percy with Rosie, Toby with Nia and she was all alone. Where could Gordon be? She hoped he would ask her to dance again like the night of Thomas's royal ball.
Then she turned around and bumped into Gordon. She blushed in embarrassment, "Sorry."
Gordon got her back up and smiled sheepishly, "No I'm sorry, I should have looked."
The two chuckled in awkwardness when suddenly, Gordon grabbed Rebecca's hand gently, "Rebecca, remember the night that we dance?", asked Gordon as he blushed.
"I did and it was wonderful.", replied Rebecca as she smiled at him.
"Well I just wanted to say…", said Gordon as he grabbed out a red rose, "I-I love you, Rebecca."
"Rebecca blushed as she saw the red rose and what Gordon had confessed, "I love you too but I'm not a princess.", she sighed.
"My mother wasn't a princess either and you're a princess to my eyes", smiled Gordon as he placed the rose on Rebecca's right ear.
Then the two held hands and went to waltz with the others. The night was perfect and everything seems magical with fireflies flying and the calming music just fitting for the setting. James and Thomas looked at each other, "I didn't expect this to happen but I'm glad it did.", smiled Thomas.
"Same goes to me Thomas, we are together thanks to destiny.", replied James as the two smiled.
Then after all the long night, Thomas and James hopped in their carriage with Percy as the coachman with Rosie next to him, "Ready for your honeymoon?", smirked Percy.
"Oh I almost forgot!", cried Thomas.
Then Thomas popped his head out of the carriage window and threw a bouquet of purple flowers in the air. Everyone screamed for it's mine but Nia caught it by accident with Toby. The two looked at each other and Toby blushed in embarrassment, "What a lucky coincidence to catch it, Toby. Guess destiny wants us together like we are meant to be.", chuckled Nia as she kissed Toby's cheek.
Toby blushed and smiled, "I guess so."
Then the carriage went off and everyone cheered and waved goodbye for the couple and they knew their reign will be a successful one for not only they would be great rulers, but the love between will last forever. James and Thomas's forbidden love is no longer forbidden as their love was powerful that made everyone realised that they were meant to be together and that they're the ones who saved the day.
