which means the ancient Elvin bloodline still thrives. I may be young, but with some guidance, I am sure I can lead us from these dark slums and into happiness once again.”
There was a lot of cheering, but Ven, Prince Llewellyn, quieted them, continuing with, “With Vincent dead, we have lost our primary enemy. Now we can finally make peace with our fellow humans.”
He turned to look at Faye and speaking in a softer voice said, “Faye, if you are willing, I would like you to be our emissary to show your fellow humans that we are an equal race and capable of being great friends and allies. With you, they will see that this is true. So, what’s your answer?”
“I’ll do it,” Faye responded.
Elves cheered and Locke approached Faye, saying, “My wife and I have long been discussing something, Faye, and we have come to the agreement that you need good strong parents to look up to and you don’t have any. Therefore, I would like to adopt you and become your father; my wife will be your mother.”
“Thank you, Father,” Faye said, very pleased. Locke placed an arm around his new daughter and led her away from the mumble jumble of the present politics.
“Wait!” Ven shouted, chasing after them. Faye turned around to face him and he placed a and on each side of her face, leaning in for a long kiss.
They would live happily ever after.
