17 Years Ago
Across the sea where ivory towers glittered and the air turned sweet at each breath. Of honeysuckle, fresh, revitalizing water, and wood smoke among the country sides.
A Green healthy and vital adorned the vast lands of Auradon.
Across the sea there was a rimmed green land, derelict and lined with mold. Across the sea their sister land's barrier came down for good, for a good of the people uniting the "good," and the "evil" children for all of time.
Prince Ben and Lady Mal then, were declared King and Queen of Auradon upon being wed.
Their reign thrived, and so did their many friends in their careers.
Evie, sat at the King's ear and in an office within the castle, to and fro toward her own elegant, modest little parcel of a royal castle. Fashion and administration. And a beauty she ever was.
Jay, who toured the world Gaston Jr. by his side for a time. One settled, the other did not and he continued to wander the lands wherever the winds would guide. Sometimes cold, sometimes heavy and humid, and sometimes were the whispers and flecks of sand from where his blood had begun. The rich land of Agrabah.
And Carlos, keeping the home and raising the pups. His life a simple one, perhaps not as grand a gesture to the world, but certainly grand and larger than life, to the bright eyes of a child who mattered and who completed him. He loved and was no longer afraid he'd not known how in the first place.
The kingdoms alongside them grew and changed.
As new children cried and new stories promised to begin.
