The Day of the crowning had arrived with such ease for Daryll. He planned to make this night a special one for the Kingdom of Neverland. Princess Lisa's eyes had never been dry since the betrayal, Prince Michael had never been so cold and Grace was missing, yet again. Although no one had dared to say a word, the remainder of their souls that was still alive yearned for freedom. Each time they would attempt to rebel, Daryll would force them to obey his commands and there was no way to outsmart him.

Daryll: Today is the crowning of the King.. Are you ready?

He grinned.

Michael: I have been trained for this moment, and yet I feel unsure.

Daryll: Trust me.. You are ready.

He said as he rested his hand on the shoulder of Prince Michael.

Michael: Trust is what has gotten me here in the first place!

With a snap of his fingers, Prince Michael was silenced.

Daryll: You will be crowned the King of Neverland and you will not complain of this moment.

The music began to play and Daryll looked Prince Michael in the eyes.

Daryll: Now go!

Prince Michael was blown out of the room and no matter how hard he tried to, he could never call for help. Daryll had silenced his rebellion.

Daryll: And you, my lovely. Are you ready to become the Queen of Neverland?

Lisa: Even if I am not ready, I must go anyway..

Her demeanor was depressing as she sat down. She too longed to call for help, but her rebellious voice was also silenced. Daryll helped her put on her necklace, just as he did on the night of the ball. He kissed her neck where he had bitten her and grinned.

Daryll: Are you ready, my lovely Queen?

A tear slid down her face but her expression stayed cold.

Lisa: Yes. Are you satisfied, my love?

Daryll: Not quite yet, but I will be.. And I know that you shall not fail me.

Lisa: No, Daryll.

Daryll: Good. Now go!

She was blown out of the room and went to the crowning as they had practiced. Prince Michael knelt down and was blessed, along with Princess Lisa. The priest gave a long speech and Prince Michael answered him with the coldest look upon his face. He had no heart anymore. If he could not be with his beloved Grace, then he could never love again.

Michael: I do solemnly swear to be the greatest King and ruler over Neverland. I do know my responsibilities as a King that was chosen by God to rule this Kingdom and I do believe that my wife shall be a great blessing with bearing the next heir to the throne.

Princess Lisa had a hand placed upon her head and the same speech was given.

Lisa: I do solemnly swear, as the wife of a King, to bear the next heir, serve my husband as he pleases and rule along side of him with God's command.

They stood together and joined hands. Together they dipped their hands in the Holy Water and together, they were burned as the water turned black. They screamed and held their hands as the smoke kept fizzing from their hands. The Priest looked at them, alarmed at the situation but kept the ceremony going. The last and final thing that became of them, was their presentation as the King and Queen of Neverland. They knelt before the Priest again and were presented their crowns as the clouds began to grow heavy with tears.
