Epologue
Doel's eyes went wide. He was covered in sweat and hugging his pillow like a teddy bear. He sits up and looks around. He wasn't in Mayfil, he was in his room.
Doel jumps out of bed and runs to his closet, ripping it open. His animal designed PJs were still in one piece as well as his clothes. It was all a dream.
"It's a dream," he murmured, "it was only a dream!" Doel began running around his room, laughing and shouting like a lunatic. But then came to a sudden halt, "The day! What is today!?"
Doel runs out to the window of his castle and sees Popo passing by.
"Hey, kid! What day is it!?" he shouts, getting the boys attention.
"Today? Why it's Chrismas morning!" he shouts.
"It's Chrismas...that means I have time!" Doel mutters. He then sticks his head back out the window, "You there, young boy!"
Popo stops and looks back at Doel.
"Will you do this old Emperor a favor!?" Doel asked, "Do you know that bakery down the street with the prize turkey!?"
"The one as big as me?"
"Yes! That's a smart boy! Will you run there and bring it here? I'll give you 100G. Come back in half an hour and I'll double it!"
A smile popped onto Popo's face and he zooms across the street so fast, he was almost a blur. Doel came outside, still in his bunny patterned PJs as the boy returned with the owner of the bakery, holding a huge turkey.
"I have brought him here. Now where's my 100G!?" Popo demanded. Doel chuckled enthusiastically.
"A helpful boy you are! You'd make a great delivery boy one day," Doel said, reaching into his pouch and pulling out 1000G and giving it to Popo, who grabs the money and runs. He then turns to the owner, "will you take this turkey to this address right here?"
The owner takes a piece of paper that Doel handed him, showing him the address to Servi's house.
"Here? But there are monsters in the path! I can't survive out there!" the owner cries.
"You know what? You are SO right! GUARDS!" Two of the Sandora Wardens appeared next to him, "Take this man to Bale and protect him with your life. That turkey must be delivered!" the soldiers saluted and stood side by side of the owner. Doel reaches into his pouch again and pulls out another 1000G and hands it to the man, "and when you get there, tell them that the person who sent this is unknown!"
After getting dressed and telling everyone in the castle to take the day off, Doel travels down to Tiberoa and to the Twin Castles of Fletz. At the enterance to the stairs, he came across the huge guard standing in front of him.
"I have an appointment with King Albert of Basil," Doel said. The guard gave him a curious look before he walked to the side.
The whole family of Tiberoa and Bale were sitting at the banquet table, having breakfast when a familiar face popped in, getting Albert's attention.
"I do...I do hope you don't mind a dark hearted, greedy old bastard like me joining you for breakfast," Doel muttered, fiddling with his cape, "I deeply apologies for turning down your offer yesturday, nephew."
Albert just blinked for a second before he got up and hugged his rotten-turned-good uncle.
"Oh, come now, Uncle," Albert said, "I don't care how bad you treated me, it's Chrismas afterall. Everything is forgiven! So, why stand there, shaking!? There's an open seat at the table. Come sit down!"
Tears of happiness appeared in Doel's eyes. He almost wanted to give Albert a big bear hug, but figured it would be best if his nephew didn't pass out from such a hard squeeze.
Later that day, Servi slipped into Kazas Castle. The place was dead quiet, which was unusual to the poor knight. He almost thought he was going to be exicuted by the Emperor because of Chrismas.
Servi opens the doors to the throne room to find it empty as well. Shaking a bit, Servi went to stand near the throne and wait for Doel to show up. After an hour, he thought he heard someone clear his throat. Doel's shadow appeared behind the throne chair. Servi began to fiddle with his spear.
"Servi, what is the meaning of you showing up late?" Doel asked, sounding dark and forboding.
"I-I-I'm sorry, sire," Servi said, hesitant, "I was just spending some time with my family."
"This has gone too far, Servi," Doel said, advancing towards the shaking knight, "therefore, I will raise your pay and give you the rest of the day off."
"You'll what!?"
"Don't be so shocked, Servi. It is Chrismas afterall. What's one day of relaxation going to do to this Empire? It does come only once a year, yes? And I suggest you use some of that money to help your family stay happy and healthy."
"Oh, yes! Thank you, Emperor Doel! And a Merry Chrismas to you too!"
And so it ends. The once cold hearted Emperor soon turned away his evil doings and made a fresh start. He was soon known as the kindest man in Endiness. Servi's family was happy and well. And Kongol had recovered from the fever so well, the minute he was given permission to get up, he imeddiately ran outside and practiced with his axe.
They considered Doel as a godfather for Servi, and Albert wasn't afraid to come in and wish his uncle a Merry Chrismas every year because he will forever enjoy Chrismas like he would his people.
OOC: Eh...it's been awhile since I've ACTUALLY finished a story, so the ending kinda sucks IMO. But anyway, I have finally finished it, and just in time too. I hope you enjoyed this fanfic. Later days! ^_^
