Jade slowly woke up, but couldn't feel anything, and she looked and saw Brian, performing magic?! This must still be a dream, Jade thought wistfully. And then, she felt herself being lifted into the air by a calming, loving magic. She could feel the love radiating from inside of her. And she could feel Brian too! He was performing magic! But how? All of the sudden, Jade was lifted onto her feet and felt better than she had ever felt. "Brian!" Jade's parents looked horrified and amazed. Then, her mother said: "Brian must be a healer! That's why he lived with the non-magicals!" Jade just ran to Brian and they pulled into a passionate kiss, long and beautiful, in the sunrise reflecting just right onto their bodies. And when they finally pulled apart, Jade looked at her arm and saw the words 'Mud-Child' etched into her arm. Her father said: "That is from a forever knife, whatever she wrote, is with you forever." And Jade suddenly had  thought! "Wait, I have those same words etched into my ankle! Judea must've given that to me too!" And Jade felt defiant towards Judea. She felt superior. And the only words that came out of her parents mouths were the words: "You are a true queen, today is the day we crown you queen, and crown Brian king, of the universe." Jade and Brian looked at each other in delight, they would immortally be together, because they would live in pictures! Forever had greeted them at last. They hugged and cried and kissed again. But, they needed to get ready. Jade and Brian were separated to get readied, and then, they went onto the stage.
