The Swan Princess & The Swan Princess 2

The End

"I now pronounce you, husband and wife." The pope proclaimed. The country's roared with excitement, glee and laughter.

"It finally happened..." Queen Eugenia cried out, blowing her nose with an old handkerchief. Rodger beside her. "It seems only yesterday they were two children who hated the other's guts." Eugenia and Rodger laughed, following in step behind King Grant, and Queen Alivia.

"I love you." Grant said, his right arm held out for her left. Alivia turned and smiled at him. "I love you too." And when they entered the doorway of the chapel a kiss was shared for the entire kingdoms...or shall I say, two kingdoms.

It was decided that Grant and Alivia would rule both kingdoms together. They would live and her castle in the summer, and in the winter, move back in with Grant's mother, Eugenia.

Grant and Alivia made their way to the carriage that awaited them at the bottom of the pearly chapel steps. A large ball was to be hosted in the now ex-Queen Eugenia's home, a welcome to all.

Both peasants and royalty. Of all ages and genders. No one was to be excluded from the happy occasion! A large ten tiered wedding cake was to be served to everyone who desired to have a piece, and drinks would be free till midnight, no matter where they were gotten from.

Dancing and music and festivities were held throughout the entire kingdom. If it was possible, you could say everyone was on vacation.

Alivia and Grant waved goodbye to the enormous crowd that gathered in the streets, hanging out windows, crowding doors all celebrating their marriage.

"Oh Grant, I missed this. The joy on people's faces, in fact, I missed people." Grant smiled and kissed his queen's cheek.

He liked the sound of that...his queen. He had waited months for this. To have him call her his own.

The festivities were grand and lasted the entire night. Alivia and Grant danced and danced and danced! They couldn't be more happier. Their love couldn't of shinned any brighter.

But while the kingdom was celebrating, far away in a cold, dark, broken down castle, sat a man and a women.

The man was sitting in the dark, a candle his only source of light, and the women, his sister sitting on the floor, coloring with a stick and some dirt.

"Such a happy story.." Elise, the women, spoke.

"Yes indeed sister. One that many should hear." The man, Antonio, smiled. 

"That's it, Elise! A story!" So he ran to the small office his father had once used, and a quill and ink, and began to write.

He thought for a moment and began to write the words:

Once upon a time, there was a King named Wilhelm. He ruled a large and mighty kingdom...

Antonio nodded and continued his story. He knew, this, this was what he was destined to do, tell people the story of The Swan Princess.

It was indeed a well known story, one many parents told their children, and their children told their children. But they only knew what Antonio wrote in his novel...when in fact, Grant and Alivia's love struggled many a times. And their story isn't over. In fact it's just begun! 

Special thanks to everyone who has endured with me through this slow, extremely slow journey. Know that I thank each and everyone of you. I may or may not continue with this story, by adding on some one shots involving Alivia and Grant. So if you want me to write you one involving them, an event in the future, or in the past, feel free to comment about it, DM me, don't mind. 

Again thank you, and I love you all lots.
