Hello again, friends! Welcome to another chapter of The Legend Ends. I admit, I have absolutely no clue where I'm going with this and I'm throwing caution to the wind because I'm just here amazed I've even gotten this far. What? The seventh chapter? Already!? Damn way to go meeeee!
Now. This chapter brings forth the usual Lolidragon and Prince banters. With oddities of sorts in between and a secret speech which you guys won't find out yet.
Also, I'm bringing up the wonderful news that if you enjoy this story I'm thinking up of a wonderful sequel for this fanfic, and it occurred to me after reading Anonymess's wonderful story, "Imbroglio." And her other story which I can't remember right now but it's the one where a year later impostors are acting like Odd Squad. I can't give much out as I do not know myself, but I'm hoping this story will be at least 13-15 chapters long... After that, we'll see where it goes.
I'm throwing out the idea of a sequel to give you guys the confidence I won't discontinue this story so please support it! I'm trying my best and I really, really think the way this is going a sequel is highly possible.
Ok so what exactly came to my mind for a sequel? Like Vanguard; "IMEEJI!"... after The Legend Ends, and everyone is moving on with their lives without Second Life, just how exactly are they coping? What does Feng Lan and the rest go through that isn't told between chapter 68 and the sequel? THIS IS MY PLAN! *breathes* maybe it's been done before and I'm hopping late into the train. WHOOPS!
I get the best ideas from reading other people's stories, I swear.
Note: I'm not a flower expert, I just took whatever I could find from a website. THANK YOU GOOGLE!

"Okay, put that monitor to the left." Lolidragon stated. "Not my left! Your left!" With a sigh she kept pointing towards where most of the monitors would be set up at. "Now move the glass display to the right. Perfect."
Prince groaned and glared at Lolidragon. "If you would come and help me," he mumbled, "that would be great."
Lolidragon waved a hand dismissively. "Oh silly. You know I'm taking care of things with Ugly Wolf to make sure everything is in tiptop shape for the festival." She glanced down towards her notepad. "If we leave this to you alone, then absolutely nothing would get done in the first place. Now be a dear and move that iron looking box into the table... be careful it looks heavy."
"You're as bossy as ever." He complained.
"And you're as lazy as ever!" She stated back, ignoring him. "Come on we have to get this side done then move on to the next area."
Prince simply sighed. This is what I have to deal with every day just because she's the one who created my account. Stupid Lolidragon!

"Doll isn't sure that goes there." The necromancer stated worriedly as she watched Gui moving things around. She and the bard had been assigned to cleanup duty in the west part of the gardens.
"His highness will be most pleased when he sees the array of flowers I have placed here. Perhaps I should get more roses planted."
"Aren't we here to clean, not to do gardening?" The necromancer swept and swept the floor but the bard simply kept moving things around and planting more seeds from flowers whose meanings held things he wanted Prince to notice.
White clovers to symbolize think of me.
Blue Salvia for I think of you and red ones for forever mine.
Violets for devotion, loyalty, faithfulness.
Yarrows for everlasting love.
And the roses for I love you.
Doll, who was a princess outside the game and knew the meaning of the flowers because mostly all aristocrats knew of them, simply stared in awe. "Doll is actually impressed Gui was able to find all these. Most don't even grow in this continent."
"There is nothing I wouldn't do for his royal highness!" Gui stated with glee.
Meatbun, who up until now was asleep in Doll's pouch woke up and glanced around the garden. He hopped around and went to Gui's pouch where the flower seeds were. "Food for Meatbun?"
If Meatbun wasn't Prince's pet, Doll was certain the poor meatbun with eyes would have been sent to the rebirth point.
Was it even possible to kill pets? She mused.

"Are you sure about this?" Feng Wu Qing asked for the millionth time that day. "Look, I just don't want Yu Lian after me. She's kinda scary, alright?"
"I'm sure, I'm sure. You'll be fine!" Sunshine replied happily, giving the warrior a couple of copper coins. "Now go and get me that present, it's very important and try to be careful that Fair Sky doesn't see you."
Feng Wu Qing raised a eyebrow."So it's okay that the bossy, money control wizard see me, but not a thief? Weirdo."
"Ssssh!" Sunshine placed a finger to his lips. "This is a very secret mission." Glancing everywhere he sighed in relief that no one was in sight.
"Secret. Got it." Feng Wu Qing snickered quietly and started to walk outside the castle grounds.
"I would do it myself but I have to stand guard in case Prince needs me, thanks for doing this." Sunshine replied.
How come I end up with all the weird jobs lately? Feng Wu Qing wondered.

"Noooooo!" Lolidragon screamed at Prince and hit him with the nearest object, which happened to be a sturdy piece of wood. "You were supposed to come up with a memorable quote that would be plastered everywhere in the game. I gave you a week, Prince! A week!"
Prince blinked and stared at the thief. "I kind of forgot...?" Was his answer.
"I knew I couldn't trust you to do a single thing. Ugh."
Prince gave her a look that stated; "If you knew I wasn't capable of it, then how come you asked me to do it in the first place?"
"Because," she stated as if it was obvious. "You are the one people look up to. It wouldn't look good if we were the ones who came up with a quote for you." She was a mind reader now, apparently.
"You write my speeches all the time," Prince rolled his eyes. They had been together this long, they understood each other perfectly. "How is this any different?"
"You're the legend!" She whacked him again with the wood. "We're just like your lackeys... Who end up doing everything for you anyways."
"That's not true and you know it." Prince retaliated back. Grabbing the notepad from her he quickly wrote down something and gave it back to her a few minutes later. Lolidragon stared at the words and broke down into a huge smile.
"Even you are capable of something." She sniffled, as if proud. "This is perfect and I'll have it proofread and sent in to the game directors by tomorrow." Prince simply shrugged.

The bard knew outside the game, his royal highness was a girl. And like any other girl; couldn't possibly resist flowers, no?
So Gui had worked diligently to make sure the plants would all bloom together. He had ensured they had been watered and received the amount of sunlight they required, which had not been a easy task.
A week and a half later, Prince had barely set foot outside the palace, nor had any time to walk around anywhere, which included the garden. The bard was miserable.
"Doll thinks you did a great job with the garden!" The necromancer was trying to cheer him up. She had not been with him all of the time but she knew the effort that tending to flowers meant. It was a bit sad to see his efforts weren't appreciated. She pondered for a bit and then realized something. She looked into her inventory and found what she was looking for a minute later.
Gui was handed a elegant red vase surrounded by words of the elven language in a pretty dark silver color. "What is this for, Doll?" He couldn't help but wonder out loud.
"Doll knows you and Prince haven't seen each other in a while and she thinks you should make a bouquet and leave it in his room. Like a surprise."
"Mama likes surprises!" The Meatbun squeaked out of nowhere. Doll was still keeping a hold of Prince's pet since she was the one on duty with Gui, and he was the one who had the Fire Phoenix.
No one wanted another flood to occur because the Meatbun cried and whined over something as silly as not being able to see the Phoenix.
They did not need another huge damage bill to pay for.
"The vase reminds me of his highness." He couldn't help but state in surprise. "I will do as you suggested. Thank you."
Prince did not know how the flowers got to his room, but it was said that every day, until they wilted, he was seen with a bright smile on his face. So unlike the cold, hard-faced Blood Elf everyone used to know. Gui was the most excited of them all, the rest... Well. They kept the elf locked inside the palace an extra week.

What did Sunshine make Feng Wu Qing get? What did Prince write for Lolidragon? Will Prince and Gui see eye to eye any time soon? Will progress be made offline? Will this author ever stop updating at such weird times?
The world may never know.
See you next time!
Ps: did anyone notice why the vase was the color it was and the language... *snickers* I'm so unoriginal. Also, bets as to what Prince wrote, start now. I'm telling you, it won't be revealed until the last chapter. Which I'm working on now. At least the speech part. I'm weird, I know.
Pps: I don't think I would want Lolidragon whacking me with a wooden thing. Sounds like it hurts!
