"We're are settled." Dragon tells Maharaja. "Now, where is the queen you've told me all about?" They were both camping at the Jewels' Kingdom.
"She should be here at any second." Maharaja replies.
"Sir, Maharaja!" A guard called from outside the tent.
"Yes?" He steps outside.
"You are to be summoned at Queen Emerald's presence at the emerald palace right now."
"Ok. Thank you." He goes inside. "Be prepared. We're leaving."
"Welcome, Maharaja." Queen Emerald greets both Maharaja and Dragon as they enter the palace.
"Good morning, my lady."
"I'm afraid that this is your son, Dragon. The one you've told me about inside the message?" She shakes hands with him.
"Yes, ma'am."
"Please suit yourselves gentlemen." She looks at the same guard who delivered him the message. "Prepare the guest lounge at once!"
"My lady!" He kneels and then exits the scene at once.
"Now, Dragon. This is my husband, King Hawk of the Bird's Kingdom and my two lovely daughters-Raven and Ruby."
"Enchanted." Dragon replies, kissing both the princesses' hands and kneeling in front of them. He had a gorgeous straight black hair and green eyes, empowered by the malachite jewel.
"What was your name again?" Raven admires him, looking at him with the corner of her eye.
"Dragon, Princess Raven."
"Call me Raven. Please drop the formalities between both of us."
"Raven."
"So, would you like to join us in the backyard?" Queen Emerald studies the newbie carefully.
"Sure."
"Dragon." She sips her English tea with a green engraved English cup from the tea set-sitting on the table in front of her. "You are to become my lawful and trustworthy bodyguard. By being at my own side, escorting me in occasions and on board."
"It would be my pleasure, Queen Emerald."
"Isn't this honorable?" Maharaja was impressed.
"Indeed." King Hawk adds up. "Emerald wanted a bodyguard for so long and she was thrilled by your description of the message about Dragon."
"Aren't we both at the same page?" Maharaja is honest.
"And where would you like for me to start, my lady?" Dragon inquires.
"You may begin by guarding the girls. They are young and keen-and need careful guidance. Take very good care of them." Queen Emerald says.
"How do I breathe…" Ruby started singing with her miraculous vocals for a song by Mario. "Without you here by my side…"
Raven was more than jealous because of her sister's enchanting voice as she cleared her own throat and spoke with rasp and dust. "Ruby, my dear. Why don't you just take the narrator's role at the play like Lord Bulbul has assigned to you earlier?"
"Why that is your own role, Princess Raven." An old Bulbul bird interrupts from the behind, approaching. "The rasp in your voice is quite thrilling and it won't do the girls any abuse if you just take this role solo for you."
"No!" Raven answers. "How could I be so selfish like that, Lord Bulbul?!" Her eyes shifted in colors from pink to grey, hypnotizing him far within. "I am to take the main role from Ruby and sing my true self."
Lord Bulbul clutched his teeth. "Yes, my lady. As you wish."
Raven always used her hidden powers in order to beat Ruby at each game. She was always ready in order to read her steps ahead. While playing hide and seek, Ruby always cried due to her sister's ability to just read and copy her own moves. She cried like hell each time to their mother. "Mother! Please tell Raven to make me win for just once!"
"Raven, my dear…" Queen Emerald whispers in Raven's ear. "Make your sister win for once."
Raven's eyes shift again in color to purple, dispersing her mother's attention. "Now, that is something you should never ever worry about, Mother."
Maharja and Dragon enter the guest lounge for a farewell. The black and white room was furnished with Swedish attire, addressing each corner with hope and lust. It was colored in yellowish pink as the rainbow entered the room drastically-carrying a sign of hope and tranquility. "I just can't believe that I'll be leaving you behind after all of these years, Dragon." Maharaja cries, embracing his son between his arms strongly.
"Oh, Father!" Dragon is at pain.
"The years have passed by so quick in a glimpse that we couldn't digest this upcoming unexpected matter well."
Dragon looks at his own father with poppy eyes. "You know, Father. Home is always where the heart is. And my heart is attached only by you."
"Home is always where the heart is." He is fairly touched. "Farewell."
Back at King Hawk and Emerald's wedding, they both recall how Hawk has captured her heart by sending her an affection letter with a hoopoe once they've met, asking her hand of marriage. He had the sharp and forsaken eyes of the wise hawk, giving him the ability to copy each bird's techniques and behavior right at the heart of his own kingdom. He was always able to imitate their moves with high dexterity and shrewdness. His well behaved manners and quiet upbringing have saved him quite well. "Marry me, Emmy." He kneels in front of her with a diamond ring and wraps it around her right ring finger.
"Yes!" She hugs him instantly.
At the wedding, King Coral and Queen Diamond-Emerald's parents bid her goodbye as she hops inside of the purple and green pumpkin wagon, escorted by Ace-a spade card dick guard who was riding a blue Thoroughbred. He hits the whip at once and drives off smoothly and quickly. Queen Diamond wipes her own tears with her pink handkerchief as she was wearing a red ball gown-with King Coral wearing a white tuxedo. "I'm just going to miss her."
"Me as well." He said. "I can't believe that she's grown up this quick into this fine young lady." He sniffs.
"You've given him a hell of a time." She laughed hysterically as they both sit at the garden where all the guests have left the place.
"She's my princess." He stiffened. "Don't expect me to hand her over without making him beg for her."
