Rocky's Story: The Search for the Huskanaso Fruit

Epilogue: 5 Years Later

"So that was how we won the war against the High Queen, fell in love, and became rulers of a small nation called Edrait. Now it's time to hop off to bed you three." Rocky said as his twins, Kiya and Myrin, and adopted son Thumper hopped off his lap and rushed off to their beds. They had turned 6 years old a few days ago, and had become bright young fae

"Papa, how did you defeat the rebel army?" Kiya asked as she curled up in her bed. Her straight, brown hair getting into her bright green eyes

"With wit and cunning"

"And swords" Myrin pipped in. As he hid under his blanket and Rocky laughed as he removed it and removed his black hair from his mismatched eyes.

"And with swords. Now get some sleep you two little rascals" he smiled as he kissed the twin's good night. When he reached Thumper, he looked up with his golden eyes. He looked so much like Pooky.

"Can you tell me what my parents were like?" he asked, it was his nightly question.

"They were brave and strong. Especially your mother"

"Do you miss her?" he asked

"Everyday" he smiled "Good night Thumper." Once Rocky had slipped out of their bedroom, he found his way to his and Rain's room. On the way, he thought back to the war with the rebels. They had been in the heat of battle, he was next to Rain, his sister and Elmar when it happened. A stray arrow has struck Elmar in the head, and an ogre wounded Pooky. The pain of her lose almost killed Rocky. But as she lying dying in his arms, she made him swear to raise her son. So he kept his promise and took the young fae in and raised him with the twins.

When he'd arrived, he saw Rain laying on her side with nothing but the blanket covering her, making him smile

"Children asleep?" she asked as he removed his shirt and trousers

"If I judge the little snores, they are out. After they asked for our story. Again." he teased as he crawled into bed and slipped under the covers "But I can't blame them, it's my favorite story too." he smiled as he kissed her neck while his hand roamed the length of her body

'Jael' she gasped, and he moaned into her hair.

'My Aila' he whispered into her mind as he turned her onto her back

'Love me' she pleaded

'Forever' he sighed. When they finished, Rain lay next to him, stroking his scars, which had finally begun to fade.

'Jael. Can I tell you something?' she asked

'Of course, anything' he smiled as he stroked her hair

'We're going to have another baby'

'Are you serious? How long have you known?' he gasped as he turned her over and touched her flat stomach

'A couple of weeks now' she smiled as she stroked his cheek 'I love Jael'

'And I love you Aila' he smiled as he kissed her over and over. They were a family. Him, Rain, the twins, and the new baby. Another girl the nurses said. She would bear his sister's name, Pooky. Edrait was at peace for a time with the Royal Family at the helm. There were battles and the borders expanded, and the land prospered.

The End!
