~Months Later~

"Every day, more wicked! Every day, the terror grows. All of Asgard is ever on alert. That's the way with wicked. Spreading fear where e'er she goes. Seeking out new victims she can hurt!" The citizens of Asgard were rallying. Months had gone by since Olivia's escapade and terror had gripped the land.

"Like some terrible cold blizzard, throughout the land she flies!" One woman cried.

"Defaming our poor Allfather with her calumnies and lies! She lies! Save us from the wicked. Shield us so we won't be hexed. Give us warning; Where will she strike next? Where will she strike next? Where will she strike next?"

At the daias, Amora, now a respected public figure, stood in front of a voice projector alongside Karnilla and Loki, who all faced a large crowd of terrified and angry people in the Imperial City.

"Fellow Ozians, as terrifying as terror is, let us put aside our panic for this one day, and celebrate!" Amora proclaimed. The people seemed to immediately switch moods to one of joy. Loki, on the other hand, seemed a bit confused. "Oh, what a celebration we'll have today!"

"Thank Goodness!" The people cried in relief.

"Let's have a celebration the Amora way!"

"Thank Goodness!"

"Finally a day that's totally Wicked-Witch free!" Karnilla added.

"We couldn't be happier. Thank goodness!"

"And thank goodness for you, Amora, and for your handsome swain, Your new Captain of the Guard!" Karnilla continued, gesturing to Loki in his new unform. "You've been at the forefront of the hunt for the Wicked Witch, haven't you?"

"Well, I don't think of her as a wicked wi-" Loki started.

"So, Captain, how does it feel?"

"Frustrating. But I became captain of the guard to find her and-"

"No, being engaged!"

"Congratulations!" The people cheered. Loki was beyond confused as Amora squealed with a wide smile.

"This is an engagement party?" He asked her.

"Surprised?" Amora asked excitedly.

"Yes."

"Good! We'd hoped you'd be! Yes, we couldn't be happier. Right, dear? Couldn't be happier right here. Look what we've got, a fairy-tale plot. Our very own happy ending. Where we couldn't be happier. True, dear?Couldn't be happier, and we're happy to share our ending vicariously with all of you! He couldn't look handsomer, I couldn't feel humbler, we couldn't be happier! Because happy is what happens when all your dreams come true!"

"And Amora dear, we're happy for you!" Karnilla broke in. "As Press Secretary, I have striven to ensure that all of Asgard knows the story of your braverism. How vividly I remember. The day you were first summoned to an audience with Odin, and although he would not tell you why initially, when you bowed before his throne, he decreed you'd hence be known as Amora the Good, officially!"

"That's not how you described it to me." Loki whispered to Amora through a false grin.

"Well, not exactly, but we'll talk about it later." Amora said.
