ELEMENT

Chapter Twenty-One: Epilogue

Day 30 of the Remodel Project.

After killing Peter Keynote and eradicating all parasitic dark magic from the world, Sage Stonewing revealed herself to be the lost princess of the Element Kingdom, and instated the Remodel Project, in which the kingdom was transformed into a bustling city, and the palace was rebuilt to share the materials with the citizens.

Meadow Keynote, the last Celestial, was also revealed alongside her brother. Despite what they feared, the kingdom's reactions were overwhelmingly positive, considering her just as much of a hero as their princess.

Cole Daley, the only Dark Element in the kingdom, returned to the Dark Island over the first three days of the Remodel Project, and told every exiled family and individual that they'd be allowed to return to the kingdom. On the fourth day of the project, every living Dark Element was now rehomed in the kingdom.

And now, thirty days later, everything is finished. The Remodel Project finally has a seal on it, and the citizens of the Element Kingdom are gathering in the courtyard to watch Sage Stonewing, Ethan Hawk, Robin Turret and Meadow Keynote become the rulers of the Element Kingdom.

"God, this palace is fucking huge." Ethan wore a navy blue jacket over a darker suit with gold accents, and he couldn't help but adjust his hair even after he'd fixed it.

Robin walked in, wearing a darker maroonish red suit with gold buttons and a brooch, with white accents and a chain jewel on the right. "Hey. You look nice."

"You too," Ethan nodded back. "You ever feel like an ant?"

"In this place? Hell yeah." Robin popped their collar just barely.

"Where are they?" Ethan glanced up the stairs. "It's been, like, 20 minutes."

"Meh, give them time. Did you see the outfits they were given?"

"Fair point."

Robin gave a small smile. "You nervous?"

"About what."

"Getting coronated. Ruling a kingdom." They smirked. "Seeing your lover girl—"

"I'm stopping you there," Ethan laughed.

"I saw you! I was standing there as soon as it happened!"

"RobiiIIIIN."

"Sage and Ethan sitting in a tree—"

"Oh, my God!" Ethan snorted, hiding heavy flush on his face.

"Oh, speaking of Sage." Robin remarked, nodding behind Ethan.

Sage came down the stairs, their long brown hair pinned back in a bun that twisted every way possible. Her green dress had mesh sleeves right on the side, but not over her shoulders, with a silver design down the skirt. Its train cascaded behind her.

"Wow." Robin gasped. "You look—"

"Amazing." Ethan's face was now visibly blood red, and he didn't care to show it. "You look amazing."

"Thankyouuuu." Sage grinned. "This is nothing, though. Meadow has the most beautiful dress."

"Oh, yeah, I saw it." Robin nodded. "They gave us the nicest shit!"

"And the most unnecessary." Ethan remarked, touching his shirt. "I have detachable collars."

"Ha-!" Sage's laugh echoed through the hallway, surprising themselves. "I'm gonna have to get used to that!"
