A/N: The final chapter of this fic. I hope you all liked it. This is just an epilogue and it isn't much (isn't very long for that matter) but it'll get the job done. Oh, and to Wolf E. Urameshi, thanks for pointing out about how I tend to get too hard on myself I don't think I ever realized it much until now. Thanks for helping me come to realize what it really means to write.

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of Star Fox, Nintendo and/or Rare do. Any relation to my original characters in anyway is entirely coincidental.

Epilogue: The Vulpine King

It had been two years since the battle for Corneria and the Kingdom never looked better. Several furs were gathered in the streets of Corneria to witness the birth of Fox's son, the next heir to the throne. The streets were filled and Fox now got a sense of what his birthday must've looked like.

Mia went marching down the center of the Corneria much like she did with Fox. Even though Mia lived in the palace, it was custom for those around her to pay their respects as she walked towards the palace with each birth ceremony. She walked slowly and the furs smiled. Life was going back to normal in Corneria.

When Mia walked up the stairs she looked at the newborn kit in Krystal's arms. As she did with Fox, she extended her index finger and watch the kit grasp it. It made Mia smile with delight. She looked to Fox and gave him a hug, asking what his name was.

With a wide smiled Fox replied to her that the newborn kit's name was James. Fox said it with great pleasure. The smile on Mia's face widened as she took out the red wine and made the kit take a sip just as Fox had to do. Then she took him and held him high and the kingdom bowed.

For Fox this was indeed a blessing for him. He now had a son of his own. As the ceremony progressed Fox looked into the crowd in front of him and at the base of the palace was a cloaked fur. It took Fox a moment but then he realized this was Wolf!

Wolf looked up at Fox and smiled. They didn't exchange words but Wolf had kept his promise at least. He was back but he didn't know for how long. A part of him wanted to march up the palace stairs and greet Fox, but he decided against it. Hopefully Fox would understand his loss of words, for he didn't feel right in Corneria anymore.

But where were his manners? When he made eye contact with Fox he forgot to bow! He quickly corrected himself and slowly bowed down to the new prince of Corneria. What a fine young vulpine too.

When Wolf was done he walked up the stairs against his very own wishes. When he was face to face with McCloud he only gave him a single coin. "Remember me." Wolf said and was down the stairs as quickly as he got up the stairs.

Fox blinked and looked at the coin. On one side was a picture of a wolf. When Fox turned the coin over, the other picture was of a fox. When Fox came back to his senses the crowd was cheering fiercely with joy.

Fox smiled. That would probably be the last time he'd ever see Wolf, but now he had a son. A son whom he'd take care of for the rest of his known life.

The End

A/N: Short and sweet epilogue. I liked this fic for what it was worth and now that "Beyond the Foxes Eyes" has begun I've got something to lean back on. But this fic inspired another idea. We had "The Vulpine Prince" right? Why not "The Vixen Princess"? Sure it isn't the best idea but it could work! I WILL make it work. I just don't have a plotline for it yet and keep in mind that it's NOT a sequel to this fic.

I'd like to express my thanks to those whom of which read this fic and got the chance to review. I wish all the author's luck on their fics and I hope you all get the chance to check out my newly published fic "Beyond the Foxes Eyes."
