epilouge- mario's funeral

JUNIORS POV

A FEW WEEKS LATER

Me and the koopalings were in the church. Dad wasn't allowed to come.

In fact, I didn't even know where Dad or Clawdia were. They were both on the run.

We had moved into the castle, and Princess Peach volunteered to take care of us.

Which none of us minded. Seeing as she had a lot of money.

Obviously I was worried about Dad. But I knew that he was safe. Because he had sent 9 mobiles in the post for all of us to contact him.

The 8 of us, and the Princess.

When we last heard of him, he was in Europe. Finland, to be exact.

But he also enclosed a letter, which he instructed us to burn.

It read;

Dear Peach, Junior and the Koopalings,

I want you to know that I love you. Including you, Peach. Me and Clawdia are in Finland now. We have sent you 9 mobiles and 9 sim cards. I have inserted my number, and Clawdia's number in each one.

I don't think i'll ever be able to come back to the Mushroom Kingdom, seeing as I killed their saviour, Mario. Even though I know everything was much darker than that. Kids, I'll tell you about all about it, when you're old enough to understand.

If you ever feel horrible, or people are mocking you, for me murdering Mario, you can always move. I robbed all of Mario's money after I killed him, so I'm rich. But, that money will run out some day. Peach is also a millionaire, so she'd lend you money. Heck, she'd even go with you, but she has a kingdom to run.

Clawdia is still mad at me for going psycho on Mario. But all of you Koopalings (including Junior) need to know how to control your anger. Because all of you can breathe fire, just like me. We're the same, deep down.

I love you all so much. Call me whenever.

I didn't want to burn it. I read it over and over again before Ludwig threw it into the fire.

"I don't want them to go after dad!"Ludwig said.

I cried a lot, for those first few years.

It really messed me up, Dad killing Mario.

One part of me felt like he was wrong, evil to do it. But the other part of me felt that it was justified, because Mario had provoked the attack.

That part of me scared me a lot. But eventually, I learned to conceal the bitterness, and get on with life.
