Descendants 3 Daughter of Hades

Speech

"Harm?"

Harmony looked over at Mal who looked more than sorry.

"I'm sorry about everything I put you through, you were right about everything. Is there a chance you can still be my princess of honor?"

Harmony sighed. "Well... If I can forgive Uma, I think I can forgive who I've been friends with for over a decade."

Harmony and Mal hugged. "I need to make an announcement since everyone is here." Mal and Ben walked up to where everyone can see them.

"Everyone, we would like to say a few words." Ben got everyone's attention.

Harmony smiled up at her dad and took his hand. "Think she changed her mind about letting more VKs coming here?"

"She'd be stupid not to sweetspark." Hades replied kissing her head.

"Everyone, none of us would be here if it wasn't for Harmony, our favorite goddess, the daughter of Hades." Ben announced. "There was something I never told any of you but I should have... A few months ago I was kidnapped."

The kingdom gasped in shock.

"None of you knew because Harmony went to who took me and made a deal with them. She said that if they let me go she would take my place as prisoner, and she promised she wouldn't escape or use her powers. And as you all know a goddess has no choice but to keep her word." Everyone turned to look at Harmony who grinned at the memory, she never regretted doing that for Ben.

Ben continued. "When I heard what she did, I was furious because this amazing girl who I have come to love like a sister was now a prisoner so I teamed up with the VKs to save her. And now we're all here because of her, because once again she sacrificed herself for Auradon even though she wasn't treated with the love she deserved when we all first met her. And you all remember how she jumped into the water, her weakness, to save me. Harmony has also befriended Uma and her pirates, they were the ones that had her prisoner yet she brought them here and they helped us. When I asked Harmony how she got her own enemies to be on her side and have her back she told me 'The best way to defeat your enemies.. is to make them your friend."

Hades gripped Harmony's hand tighter making her look up at him and see he had a smile and tears in the corner of his eyes, he didn't know what he did but Harmony couldn't have turned out more perfect.

Now it was Mal's turn. "I can't... I can't be queen of Auradon."

Harmony and the others looked at Mal shocked and confused.

Mal looked at Harmony then at everyone else before she continued. "We made a decision to close the barrier forever and it was my idea but it's wrong. I lost Harmony's friendship because of that choice. I learned that you can't live in fear because it doesn't protect you from anything and Harmony knew that, I have never seen her be afraid of anything except water but she came over that and now she doesn't get panic attacks from it anymore. When I told Harmony about my idea she said 'There is good and evil in all of us.' and she's right. You never know where the bad is going to come from and you never know where the heroes are going to come from. Uma and her pirates helped us, and of course without Hades who was known as the most evil villain... well as you can see that's not true anymore. Without him Harmony wouldn't be with us right now, and without Harmony, Auradon and Audrey would be gone. We are all capable of good and bad no matter what side of the barrier we come from."

Harmony smiled so proud of Mal, maybe this was it, maybe now the innocent people of the isle will come here, learn what it's like to have a stomach full of food for the first time without the taste of dirt, feel the sunlight on their skin, and find their dreams.

"And that is why I can't be queen, you need a queen that will always do the right thing, someone who only sees people not heroes or villains, someone who has been a princess since she was born and actually knows how to rule. And that's why, Ben and I are giving our crowns to Harmony, the goddess princess and the proud daughter of Hades."

Now Harmony just looked at Mal like she lost her mind.
