Sofia the First: Father

Epilogue: Part 2

In the dining room, everyone began conversating "So, how have things been lately?" Roland the First Asked his son "Anything good or interesting for that matter?". "Well, apart from Ethan's return, Johnathon coming home, and the chilren's royal graduation from Royal Prep, nothing much" The King Replied. "What about you, grandad?" James Asked the Grand King, "Not much to be truthful" Roland he First Replied "It's all been the same, relaxing in bed most of the time-". But just then, Bailywick, along side two stewards entered "My sincerest apologies for interupting your conversation, Your Majesties, but i believe there is a decision to be made". The 2 stewards behind him then stepped forward and presented two objects made of wood and steel.

Some Gasped, and others were surprized "Arthur's weaponry?" the Grand King asked "You've YET to be rid of it?", "The truth," Bailywick stated, "Is that we don't know what exactly to do with them. None of us have ever seen such contraptions before; most people of the kingdom presumed the larger of the two to be a 'magical hand held cannon' of some description. In fact, I don't believe a single person ever knew he was also in possesion of a second one...". "Where did he even get them from?" James asked, "Did he build them himself?". His father frowned, "I don't think so, James. The shere technology associated with these weapons is well beyond our own understanding, I'd say these are the only two of their kind in existence!". "Actually, seeing that I'm the only person who originates from the place you lot call the 'Real World'," Johnathan told them, "I can safely say that I just happen to know what they are." Everyone was surprized, "Really?" gasped Roland, "Then please, tell us. This mystery has been giving even the biggest technological experts headachs for years!". "They are referred to as 'muskets'" Johnathon explained "Mechanical firearms powered by a substance known as 'gun powder'. They're VERY old, the earliest examples dating all the way back to the 16th centuary AD! The small one is called a Revolover, and the big one is a Blunderbuss. Beisdes that, I'm beyond surprized to have witnessed these two in full working order! I don't even know HOW that man managed to get his hands on them, nevertheless learn how to use them!". "So THAT'S what they're called!" beamed the King, "Thank you for sharing that, John". "But now the question is:" Bailywick added, "What to do with them. Myself and a few others have been thinking; should you not want to preserve them in a museum, we'll see if we can have them smelted down so they can never fall into the wrong hands". "Actually, Bailywick," replied Roland, "I think I do know a reason to keep them around". "And that is, son?" his father asked, raising a brow. The King simply winked over at Johnathan knowingly. "What?" John himself asked, but then he realized what the former was refering to, and shook his head. "Oh no, I couldn't!" he gasped. "No," Roland chuckled, "I didn't mean THAT, I meant as in putting them on display in your new room when it's finally finished; never to be opened, never to be TOUCHED". "Oh, the indignity..." John sighed as everyone around started laughing. "Anywho... could we get back to our lovely and perfectly normal morning, please?", everyone agreed. Around 15 minutes later, after everyone had finally finished eating, Bailywick came rushing back into the room with a frantic look on his face, "Your Majesties, come quickly!" he exclaimed, "There's strange, bright glow in the ballroom, but we don't know if it's dangerous or not!". "A strange white glow?" Roland asked, "Lead the way, Bailywick." His step-son, on the other hand, began thinking quickly "Hold on, if there's a strange white glow... then that must mean... Oh shit! Not again!". Before everyone could so much as leave their seats, Ethan sprang up and bolted down the hallway towards the ballroom. Everyone else tried to keep up, but the Ultimate Prince was far too fast. Everyone eventually reached the ballroom, and upon opening the doors, were all greeted by a blinding bright glow of white followed by strange, heavenly type noises. "What is that!?" Roland said aloud, "Is it the Afterlife!?" Amber said panicking. "I'm the only living person to have ever experienced that place," Ethan replied, "And I can safely say that I reconize those sounds all too well!". "Well?" His father Asked him "It it truely something of the Afterlife?", "I'm not too sure" Ethan Replied "If i did, i'd be busy confronting whatever the heck that is!". "What do we do!?" Miranda Asked over the noise, "Well isn't it obvious?" Ethan Replied "We CONFRONT it!", and that's exactly what they all did.
