A/N: This is the last part. I had planned on making it longer, but some stuff came up and I just don't have the time. Still, short and sweet (at least on this part) makes it work. I hope everyone enjoyed this story and good luck to everyone in the contest!

Happy Endings

A larger hand covered her own and Eunice lifted her head towards where Ivan's face would be. She knew she couldn't see him anymore, but it was a force of habit. "The ground in front of you is smooth, I promise." Ivan said and she smiled at the happiness that colored his voice. Slowly she took a step forward, Ivan's hand holding hers and guiding her and she was happy.

The wind felt nice today and she could smell the flowers in her hand, the colors coming alive in her imagination when she recognized the scents. The strongest scent of all was the Shadow Rose that she knew was mixed in with the other flowers and she was tempted to grin when she smelled it. They had gone through a lot of trouble to get this one, but it had been just her and Ivan and he had helped her, showed her that she could still do things despite her blindness. That the beauty of the world was still there and that she just had to try a little harder to find it. Ivan stopped and he stopped her as well, turning her towards him and lifting her chin with a finger. Slightly chapped lips met hers and Eunice kissed her soon-to-be husband back, loving that he cared for her so much despite everything he knew about her.

"I love you," she whispered and he chuckled softly, kissing her forehead before messing with her hair, something he often did and something she often did with his in return. "You're going to mess my hair up and Melody worked so hard on it…"

"I was going to say I love you, but you beat me to it." They started moving again, him guiding her despite knowing she could walk on her own easily. She had become more in tune with the earth and could essentially 'feel' the way things looked if she tried hard enough. She had embraced her earth affinity after that curse had hit her, so that it wouldn't reject her, and she had also moved forward and past Raguna not loving her. She still felt some feelings for him, but they were more platonic now that she had Ivan.

Ivan had moved into the village, into Brodik's old house actually, the very day she awoke from her coma so he could help her transition easier and she couldn't be happier that he had done so. Eunice had been terrified after witnessing the effects of the curse and Ivan had helped her overcome her fears, and had helped her through her grief when she had met with the newly married Raguna, one who knew of their past together from a third person perspective. He had helped her and in the end she had realized how much she actually cared for him and that he cared for her in return. He had proposed to her right after they had gathered the Shadow Rose in commemoration of the fact that it had been two years since they had found each other again. Today, they were getting married and she was so happy, especially since Stella had granted her request to have it in the village square and not in the stuffy church. She needed the outdoors.

"I wish Terrable could be here, but I suppose this is not the best place to have a dragon, is it?" Eunice laughed and she knew Ivan was most likely smiling sheepishly.

"No, but…" She knew they had entered the wedding area properly when she heard Ivan gasp. "I invited him anyways. He's an earth dragon, so he likes me too. Plus, I told him you would be happy, you are, right?" She was swept off her feet in a hug and he kissed her longer, and deeper before he placed her feet back on the ground.

"Thank you," he whispered, placing his forehead against hers and she smiled playfully.

"You're welcome, now let's get married before they start thinking we're going to consummate the marriage a bit too early." Her hand lifted to close his mouth that she knew would fall open at her statement with a laugh and she felt her cheeks warm. "Blame my mom for giving me tips to use for tonight…" Ivan's laugh echoed across the plaza and she could hear the deep laughter of the dragon in her mind as well (since it communicated telepathically) as they finally stepped in front of Stella to say their vows.
