“Everyone! Everyone! I have an announcement” yelled Marshall
He ran down the aisle, Penelope on his right and Darrin on the left.
“Penelope and I are going to marry” he said
The room erupted with cheers and applause as Sawyer, Miracle, Sir, Regina, Malcolm and Camilla surged forward.
“Told you” said Sawyer
“Now no Kingdom is complete without Knights and Ladies!” said Marshall
Excalibur materialized in his hand.
“Sawyer, Miracle, Regina, Camilla, Malcolm and Darrin kneel before me please” he said
He knighted each in turn, when they rose as knights Excalibur faded and the crowd cheered Marshall stepped forward.
“And as tribute to my father no court is complete without a table”
Marshall threw his hands out and a round solid oak table materialized before them.
“May my reign as your King be one of fair and fair rule in these times” he said
“Here, Here” said Sir
Marshall bowed towards him, he bowed back.
“Now enjoy yourselves” he said
He turned to Penelope who rested a hand on his shoulder.
“You need sleep my darling” she said
“What about the celebration?” he asked
“They'll understand” she replied
Marshall nodded and kissed her goodnight. He ascended the stairs and turned to his citizens, he saluted and disappeared from sight. When he looked at the mirror after changing he didn't see his reflection instead he saw:
“Mom?”
“Hello honey” she said
“We've all heard of your upcoming nuptials, congratulations” she said
“We- are you in a place with lots of people?” he asked
“When you destroyed Kilam and Uvok's spell it split Morgana and I apart” Cassandra explained
“That's why Alanwee said she'd die”
“Morgana could manipulate anyone to the extent of using the people she controls, had you killed Alanwee you would have let evil into your heart” said Cassandra
Knock, Knock, Knock
“Come in!” Marshall said
Marshall glanced at the mirror it was empty, so he walked to the door. No one there. He closed it and slide into bed, before he turned the lights off he glanced again at the empty mirror.
“Good night mom” he whispered and drifted to sleep
