Unveiled

Chapter 17

   Princess Ember rose gracefully from the ground as a human being unlike before. She blinked, and looked around her lavender and grey room. Then, she looked down at her hands and dress, and nearly fainted with delight. She was a human again. Finally able to speak again, and finally able to live as a royal once again. She approached her mirror, and gazed at her reformed self. Suddenly she saw it. A necklace with the face of a fox engraved in silver. She recognized that to be her own. It was a delicate size and very enchanting too. She delicately touched the silver face, and looked at herself in the mirror again. Her red hair was long and jagged looking, as if it were uneven, and her shoulder still had the scar. She was so very grateful to be a human again though. 

   Sovereign Nathan and Mistress Mary finally arrived back at the manor, and solemnly entered the large front doors as the carriage was pulled away by two brown Clydsdales. Maids and servants greeted them with a joy they haven't seen in a curious while. They wondered what could be giving them such joy now.

   "Sovereign Nathan and Mistress Mary." a servant said as he bowed before them. "Your daughter..." 

   Elder Jeanne smiled a simple smile. She had done it. She had found a way to give Princess Ember her dignity again. She had finally given her Princess a hope of eternal life in Heaven. She smiled peacefully as she pet the Cheshire cat in her lap. The warmth of the fire warmed her old frame as she enjoyed her final afternoon. Nothing and nobody, powers or principalities, could take away Embers Salvation and eternity in Heaven which is very real. The elder knew where she was going also.  Jeanne relaxed as she stroked her cat for the last time. 

   Sovereign Nathan and Mistress Mary ran down the halls together, yelling out of excitement. Mistress Mary's beautiful, violet dress billowed out behind her as she ran down the corridors to Ember's room. 

   "I can't believe it!" Nathan yelled. 

   "Me neither!" Mistress Mary replied as she sprinted with her husband. 

   Ember was surprised by a knock at her door, and came to answer it. Her parents greeted her joyfully as they hugged her. They all fell to their knees as they hugged each other, and Sovereign Nathan thanked God aloud for their daughter back. 

   "Oh my daughter, I love you so much." Sovereign Nathan said as he hugged her. 

   "I love you both too." Ember said as she kissed her mother and fathers cheeks. They all enjoyed each others company as they embraced one another. Later on they found out that Elder Jeanne died, but she left one more piece of information for Princess Ember. She wrote this: Dearest Ember, if you wish upon thy necklace, you can turn into a fox again. I will see you later. Love you, my dear... Jeanne.
