Realizing how quickly out of hand this was getting, Marine took out her lance, and separated the rabid Alice as Iris put the poor Mordred/Morag (who had suffered several slashes, courtesy of Alice) out of her misery. That doesn't mean that Mordred/Morag didn't fight her damnedest to beat Iris into dust. It was starting to become a pain in the ass for Iris, who kept getting swiped at by a long set of claws, Sheila occasionally casting healing magic on her.
It was Alice who landed the final blow, with a brutal ending for Mordred/Morag. Alice had actually jumped onto Mordred/Morag's shoulders, and sunk her sword into Mordred/Morag's skull. After letting out some long ass speech about how she had only really wanted the Wight Knight to love, Mordred/Morag slumped to the floor, and Alice started the task of trying to tug her sword out of its new mounted place. The nice pair of black high heels that Mordred/Morag was wearing looked too tempting... so Alice swiped them.
The spell on Wight Knight instantly dissipated, sending him onto his knees. Part of Mordred/Morag's final speech was how 'Mona was dead, blah blah blah, now he'll be alone forever, blah blah blah'.
"Oh, Princess Mona! It can't be true!" Alice, having calmed down considerably, turned to Wight Knight with a look of pity. He had just found out that he had been (technically) cheating on the love of his life, even though it was under the force of a harsh spell, and now he had to face the fact that the love of his life was long dead, never to be seen again. Alice could sympathize with him, she had seen a similar situation occur, but that was centuries ago...
Nonetheless, Alice patted him on the shoulder as Stella magically appeared (why only AFTER the fight? Sheesh!). She silently waited for the speech that was sure to come. Mortals seemed to love long ass speeches.
Finally, he spoke, quietly at first. "...With your help, I had finally returned to Brigadoom, but yet..." He raised his head to stare at the empty throne, "The passing of centuries has long since destroyed my homeland, and my beloved Mona is no longer here to welcome me...
"...I came home at last... but alas, I was too late..." His shoulders slumped, defeated.
Just then, an oddly familiar voice shocked the five (six, including Stella) of them.
"You are not too late, my love."
They all snapped their heads towards the figure that was slowly walking towards them in a bright white dress, a large ruby jeweled necklace hanging just below her chest.
"...That necklace!" Wight Knight seemed to be looking in that general direction too, amusing Alice to no end. "Princess Mona!...I-I don't... Aren't you...?"
Princess Mona smiled, and slowly shook her head. "I made you a promise. I swore that I would wait for you, no matter how long you were gone; no matter how many years passed by."
She reached out her hand to him, "My beloved Right Knight... Take my hand! Dance with me! The first dance we should have had as man and wife..."
Wight Knight slowly rose to his feet, still looking at the princess uncertainly. "Princess Mona... you forgive me?"
The Princess didn't give him any response, but gave him a tilted smile. The two of them stood closely together, and danced all around the room.
Alice couldn't help herself from being jealous. She wished that she could do the same thing with her beloved just as easily... but I can't. Not yet. Soon, our time will come as well...
Alice let out a small sigh as she watched, seeing Sheila force Iris and Marine to join her in a three-way dance, just for fun. Alice made a side glance at Stella, who looked like she was on the verge of tears.
"...What are you doing, Stella?"
"Not now, Alice!" Stella snapped at her. Shrugging, Alice turned her attention back towards the dance, only to be pulled away by Sheila, who forced her to dance with the three of them, all of them taking turns dancing with each other, making a rotation of partners every few moments.
Eventually, the two of them stopped their dancing, and the Wight Knight started glowing the nicely colored glow that Alice vaguely remembered as the glow that grateful people had. He ascended into the air, and smiled at the princess.
"Thank you, Princess. I know that you are not my Mona, but... without you, I would surely have been doomed to wander these lands forever in eternal despair."
Princess Simona clasped her hands together, "I knew you were the Right Knight from the old stories! I just knew it. I knew there was... a connection between us the moment you appeared."
Alice blushed slightly, remembering having that same feeling all those centuries ago... but she had been right. Very right. Very much so.
Wight Knight chuckled for the first (and most likely the last) time, "It is not unbelievable that you, who has inherited the memories of my beloved Mona, would feel so..."
That surprised Simona, "...So, I am Princess Mona's...!"
Now Wight Knight ignored her, turning towards Alice and her companions. "Thank you, Alice. Without you and your companions, I would never have uncovered this truth. Now I have no regrets. Only eternal gratitude..."
His body shone a bright white as his body faded away, and Alice swore she saw a tear roll down Simona's face.
Giving her a few minutes to reclaim her dignity, Alice turned to Marine, who was grumbling about how the rest of them had only been an afterthought. Alice patted her on the knee, and approached Simona.
Before Alice could even say anything, Sheila had already stormed up to Simona, shaking her by the shoulders. "Why are you here?! Do you know how dangerous that was?!"
Simona's eyes started to swirl around, "I-I know I was supposed to have left it all up to the four of you, but I just couldn't help myself! I had to come along! Though... Alice, did you already know that?"
All heads turned to Alice, who had started to play around by putting the high heels on her hands, clapping them together. Realizing everyone was staring at her, Alice hid her hands behind her back.
"Yeah, I did. Were things easier, since I cleared all the monsters out for you?" She grinned at Simona, who smiled in return.
"Yes, it was much easier. Thank you very much..." Simona's eyes glazed over as she looked at the spot where the Wight Knight had once been standing. "...It's odd... When I was dancing with him, I heard a voice... A woman's voice. She was saying 'thank you'..."
Simona shook her head, "Anyway, I must hurry back to the castle before father notices I'm gone so I can tell everyone the news. I'll be sure to have your reward ready for you, so do stop by the castle as soon as you can."
With that all said and done, the Princess took her leave, having a small band of soldiers for protection as they left the premises.
Stella snorted, having made a connection. "I guess Mona didn't wait for him after all."
Ignoring Stella, Alice did a cheery jig on her way out of the ruins, "I'm goin' home!"
Yeah, you wish, Alice. This is Dragon Quest, not baby goes home!
