At the treefort, Finn, Jake, Gata, and BMO were getting up from the ground from their group hug and Finn went about introducing the newcomers to his siblings and robot companion. After introductions were made a few members of the group to go catch up with friends and loved ones. Skips said he used to live and work on a park on Earth, though he had to leave due to the Citadel breakout, so he wanted to catch up with his old friends. He left accompanied by Techmo. Tobe went off to go see Doctor Princess and Django went off to the Boneyard Kingdom to see Skeleton Princess. Phoebe and Sarah got ready to go to the Fire Kingdom and see Flame King. Finn went over to talk to Phoebe.
"Your dad is going to be in for a surprise to see your mom." Said Finn.
"I know, but it'll be a good surprise." Said Phoebe with a smile.
"Hey I was thinking we should have a big welcome back party here and invite everyone. We've all been gone for a long time and it'll be great to see some old faces." Said Finn.
"That's a great idea!" Said Phoebe excitedly.
"I'll start making calls! This is going to be a awesome party." Said Jake as he pulled out his cellphone and began to make some calls.
"Well I guess I'll see you later." Said Phoebe.
"See you later." Said Finn.
The two shared a brief kiss and Phoebe and her mom took off into sky and headed towards the Fire Kingdom. The two fiery women reached the Fire Kingdom and made their way to the palace. Sarah looked around at her kingdom and saw that not too much had changed, through there were several destroyed and crumbling buildings scattered around the kingdom, a result of the Cooling incident. The Flame Queen's heart ached at the sight and the thought about what pain and suffering her people had to go through during and after the incident. As Phoebe and Sarah made their way to the palace a crowd of fire people began to gather and follow the two. The citizens recognized their former queen and were greatly curious as to how she was alive and walking amongst them. Sarah saw the growing crowd and decided she needed to address them. She found a small rock to stand on and she turned to face the crowd.
"Greetings people of the Fire Kingdom, I am Sarah the Flame Queen and yes I am alive and well. And to answer your question no I am not an imposter. I'm not a shapeshifter, a clone, or the Sarah of another universe. I am the real Sarah the Flame Queen. Yes I died many years ago, but now I'm back. I have returned to help my kingdom and it's subjects." Said Sarah.
The people began smiling and talking excitedly amongst themselves then one fire man stepped forward and asked an important question.
"Can...the power that brought you back to...life be used to bring my sister back to life?"
Sarah was by saddened this question. She really wanted to say yes to the question, but knew it was no longer possible and before she could give an answer other people began to bombard her with questions about bringing the dead back to life.
"My father?"
"My mother?"
"My brother?"
"My cousin?"
"My wife?"
"My husband?"
"My aunt and uncle?"
Sarah took a deep breath and fired a fire blast into the air quitting the crowd. She took a deep breath and began speaking to her people.
"The power...that brought me back to life...is gone. I wish it was still around so that I could use it to help each and everyone of you. Our kingdom suffered a great and horrible tragedy and many lives were lost and unfairly taken from us. My heart goes out to each and everyone of you who have lost a friend or loved one. None of the people who died will be forgotten, because they live on in our hearts and memories. The ones responsible will face justice for what they did and I give you my word that I will do everything in my power to make sure justice is served. We are going through a tough time, but if we unite and come together I believe our kingdom will rise up from the ashes like a great Phoenix! The spirit of our kingdom still burns bright even in our darkest hour and we shall not be snuffed out! We our the Fire Kingdom and we shall carry on the fire of our fallen people into the future and beyond!"
The people stared at their queen in awe and then they all began to cheer and clap. Sarah smiled at her people before she and Phoebe began to head to the palace.
"That was incredible mom!" Said Phoebe.
"Thank you Phoebe. Sometimes the most powerful thing in this world are words from the heart. Words can inspire people and give them hope. They can cause conflict as well as bring peace." Said Sarah.
"Well your words really cheered the people up." Said Phoebe.
"They did, but I really did wish I could have brought all their loved ones back and bring happiness back to them." Said Sarah.
"You did what you could. And I think you did bring some happiness back to our people." Said Phoebe.
"Thank you daughter." Said Sarah with a smile.
The two of them entered the palace and made their way to the throne room. Flame King was up and about speaking with his court and advisors about repairing buildings and seeking aid from Wizard City, when Phoebe and Sarah entered the throne room. The fiery monarch looked up at the newcomers and a look of utter surprise crossed his face as he saw Sarah and he went completely silent.
"Hello my king." Said Sarah with a small smile.
Flame King slowly walked over to his wife and stopped a few inches from her. He gently lifted his right arm up and touched the side of Sarah's face. The two fiery beings stared deeply into one another's eyes for a few seconds and then Flame King spoke in a voice barely above a whisper.
"You're as beautiful as the day I lost you."
Flame King leaned forward and he and Sarah kissed each other passionately and they embraced each other. Tears of joy fell from their eyes. A few feet away Phoebe stood by with a smile on her face as tears of joy fell from her own eyes. It was a very touching reunion between the two fiery rulers and their kingdom.
To be continued.
