A/N: Ok here it is! The last chapter! :)
Please, enjoy!
Present Day
"Whoa…" The children said in amazement. Their eyes strated to tear up.
"Talk about brotherly love…"Christian said.
"Yes, Lemmy loved his brother so much that he would give up his love to make him happy. He sacrificed his life for his brother." The old koopa sighed.
"Now that's love…" Kat whispered.
"That's tragic." Aaron said with surprise.
"Well, now you know the entire story." The grandfather smiled. "Now, time for you all to go play outside."
"Wait!" Aaron objected. "You can't stop there."
"Why not Aaron?" Everyone asked curiously.
"What about the prince? He was let free because his brother died in his place. What about him?"
"Yeah…YEAH! What about him?" Christian shouted.
"Haha! Smart boys aren't you Aaron? Yes, I do believe that there is a story about the prince." The old koopa said. "It's not a well-known part though. It may not even be true."
"Tell us! Please? We will leave you alone if you do!" The children pleaded a promise.
"Well…Ok. But this is the last one. I'm old and don't have energy like you younglings." The children smiled and listened attentively as their grandfather started.
Flashback.
It was the day before his coronation. Iggy watched as his brother placed a letter in a bottle, sealed it with a crock, and let it float on the sea waves. It was an old tradition. "Write a wish in a bottle and the sea will carry it to its destination."
"You don't really believe in this stuff, do you?" Iggy asked.
"Would my brother like to give this a try?" Lemmy replied.
"This is a stupid game for peasants! I will be a prince tomorrow and royalty does not partake in these things." Iggy said coldly. Lemmy frowned in sadness and disappointment.
"I mean…why do I need to when you make all my wishes come true?" Iggy took back what he said, making his brother smile. "So what did you wish for?" "That my brother will lose those crazy eyes."
"Hey!" Iggy protested.
Lemmy laughed. "Just kidding. I wish that my brother shall always be happy."
"Well, then always stay by my side." Iggy smiled. Lemmy smiled back and they walked back to their castle.
The next day, the prince rose to the throne. His citizens bowed before him as he said, "New, kneel before me."
As days, weeks, and months passed by, the prince showed little regard for his people. Increasing taxes so that he may have the most expensive of gifts. He cared not if they were sick or poor. A knock was heard outside his room.
"Enter." Iggy said.
"Snack time, my prince." Someone said.
It was his twin, Lemmy.
"What is it today?" Iggy asked.
"Chocolate cake with a strawberry on top." Lemmy announced.
"Excellent. Now, please prepare for tomorrow." The prince commanded.
"Yes, my prince." Lemmy walked out. The fact Lemmy was his servant made Iggy sad sometimes. It wasn't fair that that he was a prince and his brother became a lowly servant. As his brother went into town, another knock was heard on his door.
"What is it now?" The prince asked in annoyance.
"I come baring an important message." A messenger said. Iggy permitted him entrance.
"Well? Spit it out!"
"The princess from the mushroom kingdom was seen in town…" The prince cut him off before he could finish.
"Find her and give and invitation to visit my castle. I wish to propose to her tonight."
"But my prince, she is already engaged." The messenger said in fear.
"Engaged! To who!' The prince said furiously.
"Some man in red." The messenger said before running out.
"I deserve the princess! I'm the most powerful in the land!" The prince shouted angrily. He threw a fit for hours before looking for his brother. Lemmy was always there for him and Iggy needed his brother. The prince searched but could not find him anywhere. While looking around the castle entrance, the prince spotted him.
"Lemmy! Where have you-" The prince noticed him covered in blood. "What-what is that?" He asked nervously.
Lemmy smiled. "I'm sorry my prince. I must've scared you." He walked away. Curious, Iggy followed him to his room. He could hear sobbing coming from Lemmy's room. Within the wails of his brother, Iggy realized that he murdered the man engaged to the princess.
The next day, war broke out between the prince and princess. As the war ragged on, the citizens the prince abused, revolted. AS they came closer and closer to the castle, the prince cried in his brother's arms.
"What do I do Lemmy?" The prince cried.
"Take my clothes and I'll take yours." His brother instructed. "I will buy you some time to escape ok? We are twins, no one will notice."
The prince obeyed and they took each other's place. He watched as the people took his brother away. Iggy followed, hoping to escape with Lemmy, just as he promised. Walking into the town square, he that that his brother was to be executed. As the bells tolled at noon, his brother smiled.
"Snack time, my prince."
Iggy cried as his brother was beheaded.
The Beach
Iggy stood in silence as the water flowed against his legs. Remembering everything that led him here: his selfishness, his jealousy, his brother's sacrifice. He fell on his knees and cried.
"Please…Please God." Iggy sobbed. "If only we could be reborn…."
"It would be nice if we could be twins again." A voice came from thin air. Iggy glanced to his side, seeing his brother smiling and looking out to the horizon for a brief moment before disappearing. Iggy smiled.
"Yes, it would."
Present Day
"The end." The grandfather said.
"Amazing." The children said.
"Yes, yes it is. Now outside, all of you." Their grandfather shooed.
"Aww ok." The younglings whined. "Bye grandpa!" They shouted as they left the house. He smiled and stood up. He walked into his room, opening a drawer. In a hidden spot, there was a small photograph. A few tears ran down his face as he looked the two young twins. Both with rainbow hair and similar faces.
"One day Lemmy." He whispered. "On day…"
