Epilogue - Good To Be King

(…)

The rain softly patted against the hard stone walls.

Spastic winds bellowed altering the otherwise rhythmic sound of the water on rock.

A small balcony weathered the wind and rain with it's softly slanted roof.

This balcony jutted off of the eastern wall of the castle.

The world was quiet except for the concerto of rain until soft footsteps broke across the stone.

A soft lavender frame was soon present on the balcony with a long robe billowing softly behind her.

Blaze stood there in quiet contemplation as the moonlight played over the silky sleeves of her robe.

The deep ocean blue of the robe lit up from the light and seemed to glow slightly.

"For the land of a fire queen, it rains a lot around here" Blaze joked to herself.

"Better for the forest" She commented to herself as she gazed out towards the heavily wooded shadows on the horizon.

Blaze smiled as a flood of vivid memories surged through her.

A warm feeling spread from her and into the dark night.

Blaze remembered the fountain of flowers and she looked over to see it in the night.

The wind fed structure roared with life from the rapid breeze sending even the water laden petals high into the air.

A small whisper echoed from behind Blaze causing her to turn.

She smiled again and made a small ember begin to glow in her hand.

Soon a lone hedgehog stood out on the balcony, his quills eerily matching the soft glow of the moon.

"What woke you" Blaze asked as Silver wrapped his arms around her.

Blaze let the ember fade from her hand before returning his embrace.

"The bed became cold" Silver said with a small chuckle.

Blaze looked up into his eyes with a smile across her face.

"I thought you still hated getting burnt" She replied with her own chuckle.

Blaze raised her hand to his face and she felt him move momentarily in discomfort.

"Sorry, still hot isn't it?" Blaze asked realized she used the same hand that had been holding the ember.

Silver pulled her hand back to his face, "I've gotten used to it"

Blaze kissed him softly on the lips, lingering for a moment to enjoy the taste.

The rain grew harder, and it's intensity nearly doubled spraying droplets inside the balcony, even with it's roof.

Silver watched with small amusement as water turned to steam as it touched Blaze's figure.

"You two shouldn't be out here, last thing we need is for either of you to catch a cold" Silver said with his warm smile.

"Me, a cold?" Blaze said feeling Silver's hand move to her slowly growing belly.

"Maybe not you, but what about him?" Silver asked rubbing her underside slowly.

Blaze purred softly, "Him now? It is hardly time to be predicting that isn't it?"

"Well, what can I say, I'm a bit hopeful."

"Well then, guess we better get her in from the rain shouldn't we" Blaze said playfully leaving Silver standing there.

"Now you're doing it" Silver said laughing as he walked after her.

"It's a motherly thing" Blaze called back.

(…)

Silver's eyes adjusted to the darker room in a moment.

Blaze was lying on the bed, covered with it's soft sheets.

"If I get in and there is another scorch mark, I might just go sleep outside" Silver joked as he neared.

"Well then.." Blaze replied faking anger.

Both soon laughed as Silver climbed into bed next to her.

"Silver" Blaze said as the laughter died down.

"Yes?"

"After all this, I think I want another one..." Blaze said turning to look him in the eyes.

"Another...?" Silver asked confused.

"You're so naïve..." Blaze said with her smile returning for a minute.

"Hey"

"Another child" Blaze said seeing Silver's face go nearly blank.

A moment of silence lapsed between the two.

"Is something wrong Silver?" Blaze asked a bit worried.

""No... just... ouch..." Silver rambled.

"Huh?" Blaze asked feeling a bit hurt.

"I still have the burns and claw marks from this one. I'm not saying no, in fact i'm delighted... just ouch... it's gonna hurt." Silver explained seeing Blaze's face soften.

"Love hurts" Blaze said with a small smile while resting her hand on his chest.

"I know... I just wish my quills didn't stink so much from the burns" Silver laughed a little.

"Oh come on, you got yourself branded" Blaze said moving closer a bit.

"Yeah, and you burned that off too" Silver responded while feeling his chest heat up.

"It was your own fault for getting a brand" Blaze replied nuzzling against his soft chest.

"It was your name, I mean what was wrong with that?" Silver responded rubbing his shoulder as he remembered it.

"You forgot something, so I removed it" Blaze said her eyes now closed.

"What do you mean, there is no way I would misspell your name" Silver now had his arms around Blaze lovingly.

"Not that, you just forgot..." Blaze trailed off.

"Forgot...?" Silver asked but Blaze remained silent.

Another moment passed before he tried again.

"Forgot?" Silver asked seeing Blaze smile widen.

The next moment Silver jumped from the bed and ran for the bathroom.

"Forgot that if you're going to get burned, it's by me" Blaze said with a small laugh as she began to purr as she laid there.

(…)

Silver returned a few minutes later with a small bottle of a green substance.

He rubbed it into the burn on his chest but Blaze soon stopped him.

"I'll do it" she said while taking the burn salve from him.

"Two years of marriage and it still stings" Silver joked while he grit his teeth.

Blaze put the salve down and sighed contently.

"Um, Blaze?" Silver asked looking down at his chest.

"Yes Silver" Blaze said flicking her tail in mischief.

"I think you missed a spot" Silver said moving to grab the salve again.

Blaze intercepted his hand, "No, I made a heart, for the child" Blaze said as Silver looked down.

There was the soft outline of a heart with both the area around and inside covered in salve.

"I'll burn the initials in when we have a name" Blaze said with a dark smile.
"What!" Silver said fearing the future pain.

"Can't we just think of a name now?" Silver asked trying to avoid another burn.

"You know that isn't customary" Blaze responded before thinking more.

"I know, I know, most children are named when they are born, so their name can be truer to them but I mean... do I really have to get burned again?" Silver saw his point was futile.

"Yes... and for every child to come" Blaze said pulling Silver closer.

Silver paled a little.

"It's good to be king" Blaze joked seeing his face.

Silver's features then washed over with a small smile.

"Yes, it's good to be king" he said while kissing Blaze.

Once their embrace ended Blaze laid back down and rolled over so her back was facing him.

"Good night King Silver" she said while yawning.

"Good night Queen Blaze" Silver responded while wrapping her in his arms.

A few moments passed and Silver slowly took his arms from around her.

Moving ever so slowly and levitating to not wake her, Silver reached the small bedside table.

As quietly as he could he began to unscrew the top of the bottle of salve.

He just got the top off when he heard something that stopped him dead.

"If you heal it up then I will just have to burn it in again... in a place more tender" Blaze said without moving in bed.

Silver gulped and screwed the top back on the salve.

"Just be glad I love you so much" Blaze said as Silver rejoined her in bed.

"Just be glad I love you just as much" Silver replied while returning his arms to her frame.

Blaze rolled over suddenly surprising Silver.

She used the opportunity to kiss Silver and work her tongue inside him before he had a chance to react.

Silver was left there stunned as Blaze kissed her harder than ever before.

A warm presence soon came into him as Blaze's tongue took dominance over him.

Blaze smiled as she then retreated from him, lulling herself to sleep in his arms.

Silver finally regained his senses as a low rumbling purr began to accompany Blaze as Silver held her.

"It's good to be king" Silver repeated with a smile while softly caressing Blaze's face.

Silver then fell asleep, using Blaze's purring as a sweet lulliby.

An epilogue to the story that first helped me redefine my ways of writing.

The soft Silhouette flames created in the dream of a queen, led to how one would say "And I Will Whisper", and eventually, to the Royal Right of two lovers.

I think i've nearly made myself cry... crap I did.

Now, before I get my keyboard wet, I must say farewell.

My Blaze X Silver trilogy, friend I have made, take care now as I have nothing more for you.

With my heartfelt sentiments now at a close, I am left with an acknowledgment or... four to make.

AlyssaCookie, you started it as a series by asking me to continue from Silhouette Flames, none of this would have happened without you.

SilverDawn2010, I nearly hate how awesome your stories are, I can't compete but I sure can try and I must say that helps make my writing better.

Sprx777, C'mon Sprx did you think you would escape? You're one of the biggest Silver X Blaze fans I know and you've been with the story from the start.

Quavera Tava, I know you've gone from Sonic for now, I just hope you get to this someday. You were my first fan on this site and I hope to see you back in Sonic someday.
