A royal rises
After the whole 'Stacy being corrupted' incident life stared to get back on track. But there was one thing they had to do first.
Since Sparklez died in the battle he had to be burried, the whole captial was weeping all day. He was a good thing, never letting pride cloud his judgment.
And as Sparklez wished, the next day Lizzie became Queen. Anthony had his job back as the royal assistant, and Dan was her own personal guard. Of course you can't forget Dan and Lizzie's 'partnership'.
Ever since the kingdom was up and running again Stacy was constantly mocked and too often hit by rotton fruit for the whole 'kidnapping the royals' thing. But luckily Stampy was always by her side to protect her.
But before Stacy was even allowed back into the castle (because she needed to have a special welcome from the new queen), she lived on her own in that village TorqueDawg and Cassie lived in. Stampy of course was there too because he refused to go anywhere without her.
Though one day Dan came by to speak to Stacy. "Um... hello." He said.
"What do you want Dan? Don't you have to be guarding Lizzie or something?" Stacy scoffed.
Dan sighed. "I didn't come here for a fight. I just wanted to say that... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied and got you exiled. So because of that I'm being forced to wash the kitchen floor and not eat anything in there... plus Lizzie instructed Anthony to watch me. In short; I'm sorry please forgive me!"
At first Stacy just gave Dan a cold hard stare, then she started to smile and then a laugh.
"What's so funny?" Dan asked.
"Sorry," Stacy chuckled trying to keep her laughter in, "I'm not use to you talking in full sentences. But I forgive you."
"I don't know if you're being sincere or not but I'll take it!" Dan said.
After a few months since the incident, Stacy was allowed back in the capital and everything was alright.
But back in that small village there was still trouble. TorqueDawg was still not allowed into the mighty helm. And he was actually starting to change. For one he started helping the innocent more and going on quests with Cassie.
At first Cassie thought TorqueDawg shouldn't be in the helm. But with how much he's changed, she can't help but feel bad for her friend. And she actually means it, he should be in the helm and he was her friend. But then an opportunity arose.
It was announced that Dan was stepping down from the position as Royal General in order to marry Lizzie. And Dan actually showed up to the little village to get TorqueDawg. He saw him in battle, and he's been receiving letters from Cassie (through Stacy) that if he were to ever step down, TorqueDawg was the guy to take his place.
But the helm didn't like the idea of TorqueDawg being the Royal General, that basically made him their boss. So in a last attempt to get TorqueDawg to stay weak, Charles offered him a spot in the mighty helm.
This left TorqueDawg torn, should he go live a life better than he could imagine? Could he leave his village and Cassie behind? Or should he join the helm that wants nothing to do with him?
Before he chose Cassie told him, "Go TorqueDawg. Go and be a general, this village doesn't need you to protect it. It has a helm and one hell of a wizard! Go with the people that want you there, not the people who want nothing to do with you."
That's how TorqueDawg became the Royal Guard General. And when he thought he would never see Cassie again, another turn of events happened...
Through much thought and much consideration, Stampy decided it was about time to go home in his families kingdom. Stacy didn't even need any convincing to go with him. Sure she redeemed herself by catching all the escaped criminals, but people still had their doubts about her.
She still had some doubt about herself. What if the darkness comes back? What if Stampy gets hurt and I can't heal him? What if I'm framed for something again? Those were only a few of her thoughts that flew around in her mind. That nub that was Stampys right arm was a reminder of that.
But like a speech given long ago Stampy told her, "You're too smart, brave, and beautiful to let yourself think down on yourself like that."
Of course he was right, because that was what she said to him. But there was another problem, there's always another problem. This one being a political one; marriage.
You could stand next to Stampy and Stacy for five seconds and already know those two were dating behind your back. Of course they kept it a secret, a select few actually knowing about it, like Lizzie and Dan. But if they where open about it then that would cause a whole heap of trouble.
One being that Stampy was of royal blood and it was rare for a royal to marry a magic user for they are considered peasants. Second with Stacy's history of being a 'traitor' (aka being exiled), it would take awhile for anyone to accept the fact that she was even around. And third no one exactly knew where their parents where.
Stacy was mostly an orphan her whole life, and Stampy parents disappeared when he was younger. So who could really approve anything if no one could tell them no? But at a certain point they didn't care, there was no reason too.
As time went on Stampy's plans to go back home was brought up quicker than expected. For one day he got a letter.
Prince Stampy,
As you may know for the past two decades your aunt and uncle ruled your families kingdom. Recently they resigned and as of the rules, you are to be crowned the next king. Get her in two weeks time, otherwise the entire kingdom goes to your sisters. You may bring any family you may have (wife, children, etc.), there is no time to waste your highness!
Adieu,
The royal assistant (Lee)
There was no time to waste! The next morning Stampy and Stacy where packed and ready to head out, for the journey into the other kingdom took about three days. Then something hit them. Who will be the next magician?
"You two can't leave yet! Who will be our magic welder?" Lizzie asked.
"There aren't any other magic users I know except you two." Dan added.
"You know that village where we had that battle?" Stacy asked.
Dan and lizzie looked at each other and said in unison, "Yes, why?"
"Look for a woman named Cassie Rose. Take TorqueDawg with you, he knows who she is." Stacy explained.
"Stacy come on! We have to leave!" Stampy said.
Dan grabbed everyone into a group hug for one last time and then they split.
Cassie Rose became the next wizard (or magician), which made TorqueDawg happy to see his friend again. Dan and Lizzie got married a few months later. And Stampy became king of a kingdom. A hectic month if you asked them. But it didn't end there, there is still more to be told.
It wasn't much of a secret that Stampy and Stacy where together but they never married, which made citizens impatient. "A king is worthless without his queen!" They would say. To which Stampy would respond, "And a man is worthless without his arm but you don't see me complaining."
Though eventually Stacy did marry Stampy. You should've seen it, the wedding was a grand one. Dan even showed up, of course Lizzie was too busy to show but she sent a gift none the less.
Now keep in mind Kings and Queens would often have five or more kids in their lifetime because it's unlikely that most will live. So sooner rather than later Lizzie had her first child... twin boys actually (good lord). Then a few years later she gave birth to another child, this time a baby girl.
And somewhere before Lizzie had her first sons Stacy also gave birth to a child. Though only one, after that she was too old to give birth to another child. But it was an heir none the less and that's all that people cared about.
There was one moment that Lizzie and Stacy will never forget. When Lizzie was giving birth to the twins Stacy was right at her side saying, "Don't worry Lizzie, this isn't the most painful thing in the world. I've deleted with worse."
"What's worse than giving birth?" One of the maids asked (even if it was none of her business).
"Getting attacked by an army as a dragon, and watching your husband's arm get decapitated right in front of your face. You become tolerant to the pain overtime." Stacy explained.
"For the love of wizards stop talking about pain!" Lizzie screamed.
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know the Queen was such a whiner!" Stacy mocked.
"You're lucky you married into Stampy's family, I would've killed you otherwise." Lizzie growled.
"Ooo, I like this Lizzie. So threatening, I love it!" Stacy beamed.
"I hate you..."
"I know you mean love!"
"Did you just... you stole Stampy's line!"
"Shut up and give birth already."
Ever since that day the two would look back and laugh when Stacy said, "shut up and give birth already."
~~~
Years have passed at this point and it's been almost fifteen years since the 'incident'. And in that time Stampy's kingdom really expanded. For one there where a lot more magic dwellers now thanks to a school Stacy opened up for teaching magic.
Another feat was when Samuel (Stampy and Stacy's) son turned fourteen. Not only has he been studying magic for seven years, he's basically a natural. Considering his parents are both magic users. But this child became the light of the land, his bubbly wubbly ways and his sarcasm really reflect how the last few years have been. The land the the other kingdoms surrounded it have been at peace but aren't afraid to show off their armies every now and again.
But Samuel was powerful for his age. He could turn a rabbit into a cat and then into a humming bird with only a few snaps of his fingers. You could only imagine the joy Stacy felt when she heard about her son doing advanced magic.
Speaking of Stacy there was this one time when Lizzie's twins turned twelve. Stacy sent them a literal dragon egg for their birthday along with a note that said. Remember this Dan? The egg was sent back a day later.
"Why'd they send back the dragon egg?" Sam asked.
"Because King Dan is scared." Stacy answered.
"Well I think he's a wuss... and he smells like rotton potatoes!" Sam said.
Stacy chuckled, "He's just scared that I'll turn him into a dragon again."
"If the twins down want it... Can I have it?" Sam asked sparkles in his eyes.
"Not until you're twenty eight!" Stacy argued.
"Come on mom! Please! I'll take care of it! Twenty eight is so long mom!" Sam pleaded.
Stampy who was reading over some papers heard the conversation and walked over to his family. "Come on, let the kid have a dragon. I had a pet when I was his age."
"A dragon is not a pet. They are a familiar. A creature magic users get when they're ready. And a dragon is a big responsibility. Mine was a dragon and look how that turned out!" Stacy explained.
"Come on mom please!" Sam begged on his knees.
"I agree with Samuel. Let the boy have a dragon." Stampy said his voice serious.
"If you side with him I won't rub your arm nub for a month." Stacy threatened.
"Pff. I can get Lee to do it for me!" Stampy shot at her.
"Fine, then I won't look at you for a month!" She added.
"You wouldn't dare..." Stampy started.
Stacy growled, "I've given you the cold shoulder before and I'll do it again."
Stampy looked at his wife then at his son. "Sorry Samuel. But daddy needs to look into your mother's eyes. For the sake of the kingdom, so you cannot have a dragon."
"Aw man... You two and your gross love." Sam complained.
"One day you'll be saying this to your son Sam. You'll find a Queen who's eyes you can barely look away from. Eyes that make her look innocent but in reality she's just a little devil. Someone who drives your heart mad-"
Sam interrupted, "Okay Dad I get it!"
"I don't like that tone young man." Stacy warned.
"Whatever, go do your weird adult stuff." Sam groaned.
"Go to your room Sam!" Stampy shouted.
"But you're in my room!" Sam said.
"He has a point..." Stampy admitted.
"Well then don't come out of this room!" Stacy shouted and leaving in a huff.
But before Stampy could leave with her he grabbed the egg and put it on Sam's bed. Sam looked at his dad and gave him a quick hug before letting go. Sam was going to have his own dragon, and it was going to be awesome...
But that's a story for another time ;)
The end...?
