A/N: Here you go. It's my universe, so Hoss don't die at young age.
He felt it, the end was near; soon it was time to leave this place, this time. The Ponderosa had changed; the ranch was still biggest one of the State. But yes, the Ponderosa had changed; it started at the day when Ben Cartwright, the king of Ponderosa had died fifteen years ago. Only three princes had remained. They worked side by side for nine years, then Hoss had died, pneumonia had taken him from them. After that Joe had started to fade away day by day. He lasted four years then one day just died. And then there was only one Prince to rule the Ponderosa. He was Eighty years old and knew that his days will soon be over. Adam sighted, when he was gone the Ponderosa will go to the government, because the three princes had no offspring. So finally the dream and glory of Ponderosa will be forgotten. The history will become a legend, the legend will become myth and one day the years to come it finally become a fairytale.
