Chapter 24 - Epilogue

Warning: Blood at the Beginning, and Mentions of Dragging and Stabbing

I just lied there on Rapunzel's lap, bleeding. I groaned. Rapunzel began to sing.

"Flower, gleam and glow

Let your powers shine

Make the clock reverse

Bring back what once was mine

Heal what has been hurt

Change the fates' design

Save what has been lost

Bring back what once was mine

What once was mine"

A tear fell on my arm. A yellow, glowing light came out of the scar. It made a design similar to the sundrop. The light circled me and Rapunzel. Our eyes widened. It disappeared. The blood disappeared and left a pink scar. Rapunzel jumped on me and hugged me. She helped me up

"Where do you want to go now?" I questioned.

"I was thinking to Dad's if that's alright." Rapunzel replied.

"That sounds wonderful. How are we going to get down?". We began to walk around. When I got behind the staircase to Gothel's room, the tile I was stepping on fell in. I almost fell, but my daughter caught me. We looked down at the tile. It had a hidden staircase under it. We made our way down the stairs. The staircase was grey, stone, and dimly lit. Once the staircase ended, we were outside. "I could have just taken the stairs the whole time!" Rapunzel exclaimed.

"It was hidden under the stairs." I reminded her. She smiled. We made our way to Corona.

Once at the palace, a guard with tan skin, brown hair and eyes, wearing golden armor noticed us. He ran inside. A couple of minutes later, Frederic, Eugene, and Cassandra rushed out. Frederic hugged me and Rapunzel. We knelt. I looked at Eugene. I stretched out my hand. He grabbed it. I pulled him in. He pulled Cassandra.

That evening, I sat back at my brown, wooden, writing desk in my room. I pulled out my journal, and began writing.

7/5/1636

Dear Journal,

Cassandra found me and tried to literally drag me back to Corona.

But, Frederic and Eugene stopped her. I'm not mad at her, because I know that she's had a lot of trauma in her life. I went back to the tower. Gothel tied up Rapunzel, and I and Gothel got mad at each other and I got stabbed. I was able to free Rapunzel by cutting her hair and Rapunzel was able to heal me with her tears. Gothel fell out of the window. I and Rapunzel went back home. I'm happy to be home after 18 years.

Sincerely,

Arianna
