After the ceremony, Ryth, Rona, Vegance, Cielto, Cryos, and I were all escorted back to the castle. A few days later, many rooms were cleared and refurnished for us Heroes to our liking. Cryos eventually showed me his laboratory, and much to my surprise, granted me and the others full access, so long as we keep it clean and close up after ourselves.
The weeks that followed led us into our lives… Cryos and I planned our wedding, so I pretty much became a "princess-in-waiting," as Cryos put it. Ryth met with Cryos, and they hired a team of working scientists for the laboratory… I overheard them talking about creating technological innovations to revolutionize the transportation capabilities of Draconia… That is quite a mouthful. Ha, well, what can I expect from my genius fiancée?
Anyways, Rona has become a knight for the castle, the first ever in Draconian history… He claimed the training chambers as his territory, and now trains the Draconian Protection Force in the ways of combat, magic, and helps them to learn Cryos's new technology. Vegance helps Rona at times, though she prefers to watch. Vegance plans to marry Rona someday, but not yet… She still does not think he is ready.
Cielto took over the position as royal advisor, to honor his lost friend Necril. His job is to simply grant advice to m'Lord and m'Lady the King and Queen on all manners of public defense and policies. He uses a lot of technical terms that I do not understand, but I trust that he knows what he is talking about.
I, on my own free will, continue to keep the castle corridors clean, although Cryos prefers that I lay back and relax… Mother resigned as the headmaid of the castle to let me take over, though she still cleans… I am also allowed to hire on new workers, and I make sure that they keep the work going.
Sometimes, since I can come and go as I please, I will journey from the castle to the gates of the CentraCity. I head out into the night to the cliff our home was built on and I stare at the stars… Every time, I replay my travels with Cryos, Vegance, Ryth, Rona, and Cielto, and I listen to all of the conversations we have had. Then, I will head back to the castle and check on everyone while they sleep, and check on the castle treasury to be sure no one is stealing from there.
Since our journey has been complete, the world has been peaceful and all has been well in the CentraCity. Actually, everything everywhere has run smoothly. The Travelers' Waypoint is continuing reconstruction… The majority of the fox spirits have returned home to the FoxWoods and continued their lives… I even heard that the Town of Lawlessness in what used to be the Dark Lands is even turning around! I suppose the name will be changed soon enough…
Though everything is calm, I know better than to think everything will always be perfect. Balance is meant to be kept here in Draconia, so I suspect that some force of evil will eventually show its face… That remains to be seen, but when the time comes, we will spring into action. We are the Heroes of Draconia, and it is our job to protect our land… We have before, and we will continue to do so forevermore…
