Epilogue
They look at the stranger and blink in wonderment. The stranger laughs for
a second and chuckles. "Two such lovely and beautiful ladies, Its no wonder
I couldn't choose just one of you to have as my wife!" The figure says with
a chuckle. Roki and Rika blink and look at the stranger.
"Z, Z... Zio?" Roki says stuttering as she looks at the man.
"Z, Z, Zio! Is it really you?" Rika says also stuttering.
The figure laughs and steps into the light revealing himself. He's dressed
in the same outfit, But his face is much more cheerful and relaxed.
His eyes echo the sadness and pain though but in them can be seen a
happiness. Little Zoe blinks and whispers. "Daddy, is that my Daddy?" Zio
hears her and leans down looking at little Zoe in Roki's arms.
"Yes, It is your Daddy, Little Dear Zoe." he says softly and gently holding
his arms out. Little Zoe's eyes get wide and twinkle as she jumps out of
Roki's arms. She runs and tackles her daddy clinging to him tightly. Zio
falls backwards landing with the child on his chest.
"Daddy! Daddy!! My Daddy is here for Christmas!!" Little Zoe cries as she
hugs him tightly. She clings and looks up at Zio and smiles. "Now Daddy,
you need to explain what took you so long!" she says in an annoyed sound.
Zio blinks looking at Zoe. "But Daddy! I'm so glad to see you and I love
you!"
Zio smiles and strokes her hair. "I love you too, my Dear daughter. And I
am back for good now.." Rika and Roki tackle Zio also clinging to him as he
puts his arms around them holding them both.
Later on they stand on the balcony of the People's Palace that overlooks
the wide city underground. Zio is standing dressed in his armor and Roki
and Rika dressed in their armor as Queens of the city. Little Zoe has on
her little armor and sits in her father's arms her arms around his neck.
Zio has his arm around Roki who snuggles resting her head on his chest.
Rika does similar
on the other side as little Zoe snuggles resting her head on her daddy's
neck.
"Hurray Hurray! Our Lord Zio is back!!" The gathered people cry in joy and
roses are thrown.
Roki smiles to Zio. "Say something, Lord Zio!"
Rika nods. "Yes, Say something!"
Zio blinks and looks at them. "I don't know what to say."
Little Zoe grins. "How about you say, How much you treasure us all?" Zio
smiles and looks down.
"People of Neo-Kadary, My Beloved people and followers, " He says loudly
and with charisma "I have returned to lead you. You all are precious and
dear to me. Every single one of you and more are my beloved people. And I
hope. I can be a wise ruler." He says and pauses. He then looks at Roki,
Rika, and Zoe and smiles.
Turning back to the people he shouts. "But my family, Lady Rika, Lady Roki
and Little Zoe are more beloved to me than any of you. And I will never
leave them again and I will spend most of my time with them is that
alright?"
The people stop cheering and then laugh. "Of course Its alright! Three
cheers for Lord Zio DarkFalz Rose and the royal family! Hip-Hip Hurray!"
Little Zoe looks at her father and smiles.
"See Daddy! They love you, as do we!" Rika and Roki nod. Zoe grins and
points to Zio's face. "Daddy, I don't like the beard get rid of it. And get
rid of the mustache too!" Roki and Rika groan at Zoe's disobedience. Zio
sits there and laughs for a second.
"Little Zoe, I'll shave and then we're going to fix your hair! It looks
terrible." She makes an annoyed noise.
"Daddy! Your hair looks worse than mine.."
Zio chuckles. "No dear Zoe, if you are my daughter, you'll have good
looking hair!"
Zoe sticks out her tongue. "Nuh-uh. I like my hair!" Rika and Roki chuckle
watching the father and daughter argue. And smile at their family being
whole again. And so the city of Neo Kadary embraces another day.
They look at the stranger and blink in wonderment. The stranger laughs for
