Chapter 12: The Queen of Queens:
Odette's POV:
So, Iolanta decided to step down and make Siegfried and me the new King and Queen, but her old rival came, because as it turns out, her old rival is a demon! Not just any demon, the Mother of the Demon Sorcerers!
Pipa Jing was destroying everything.
"I can't believe I didn't realize she was a demon," says Iolanta, "the signs were all there! Why else would she breed perytons? No one but a demon would take care of monsters! Man-eating mares technically don't count. They were still animals."
"Emperor Yoi, we could use your sword," says Siegfried.
"I did not bring it," says Emperor Yoi, "I did not think I would need it."
"Great," says Siegfried.
"I will destroy everything you care about," says Pipa Jing.
Then, just as a bolt of lightning was about to hit me... I was saved by Hercules.
"Hercules," says Iolanta, "you made it!"
"Sorry I'm late," says Hercules, "the mail was late."
"I guess no one can move faster than Hermes," says Iolanta, "can you help us defeat Pipa Jing?"
"I shall," says Hercules, "and I have the perfect item for this! I was going to give it to Siegfried and Odette as a coronation present. Pandora's Box! It contains all the evil in the world... now that I say it out loud, that might actually be a terrible gift."
"It's actually the perfect gift," says Siegfried, "let's take that demon down!"
Then the Knights of Justice came. "It would be our honor to help you," one of them says.
"Great," says Hercules, "hey, you're riding the mares. I see they have been tamed."
Siegfried gets on a horse. The Knights of Justice ride their horses. Emperor Yoi gets on a horse. Lila the Unicorn then walks over to Hercules. "You can ride me," says Lila.
"Sounds good to me," says Hercules. He then gets on Lila's back.
"So, what's Pegasus really like," asks Lila.
"When we win this, I'll introduce you to him," says Hercules.
They then all took on Pipa Jing. My animal friends tried to help too, but they got swatted away. Everyone takes on Pipa Jing. Then Hercules leaps towards her and opens Pandora's Box. "Pandora's Box," asks Pipa Jing, "NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
The box then sucks up Pipa Jing gets trapped within Pandora's Box.
"I think it's better to take this back to Olympus," says Hercules.
"Everything's ruined," says Iolanta.
"Everyone," I said, "remember all that Iolanta has done! She showed man-eating mares' kindness! She has shown great planning! She cares for the people! She made friends with a demigod! She is the Queen of Queens!"
"Thank you, Odette," says Iolanta, "but it is you, not I, who are the Queen of Queens!"
. . .
Siegfried and I were then crowned.
"Tsar Siegfried and Tsarina Odette, the Queen of Queens," says Iolanta.
"My Queen," says Siegfried.
"My King," I said.
We all celebrated.
. . .
We were then in the hall, and we saw Iolanta with a woman. "This is Pearl's oldest sister, Delphine."
"We have something I think you'd like," says Delphine. It was a painting of Siegfried's Father.
"My Father," says Siegfried, "I barely remember him. Just glimpses." I think Siegfried was getting flashbacks. First, my Mother and now Siegfried's Father has come back to us.
Laventry's POV:
I spoke with Delphine. "Does he know," asks Delphine.
"No, he doesn't," I said.
The End?
