Sinead opened the Book. Her name appeared in fine illuminated script. More words danced down the page.
‘You overcame the Oppressors, not doubting the might of the fabled Blue Orb. You conquered your fear and retrieved the Chalice of Earthly Liberation from the Maze. You unswervingly followed the path to the Edge of the World, bearing the Crystal of Nor. You befriended the dwarves who Forged the Freedom Key.
You and noble Moonsprite brought all these sacred artefacts here without question, because you believed unerringly in the Book.
Because of you the Sisterhood has seen the error of its ways and will unite behind you. Others will come and sit at your side with Tarron, Lord of Elves and the Hound, Prince of Beasts.
You have proved your birthright. Mother Earth entrusts her Kingdom to you. The following pages are yours to write. Rule well, Sinead. This is your destiny.’

And so, Sinead’s Final Quest is over and finally she has fulfilled her destiny. Previous episodes of our an epic tale, unfolding in tiny 150 word increments, can be found here.
But perhaps the story has only just begun?
Oh Chris what a wonderful ending. Love it. This should also be published as a whole book.

You’re too kind, Sadje! I have been thinking of developing it into a fantasy novel for a while, once I’ve finished a couple of other projects. It will need a lot of fleshing out, but to have some good characters and a basic plot line is a good start. I’d like to give Moonsprite a voice, although I never written from the point of view of a unicorn 🙂

Wow! That is an ending that could also be a beginning! That was truly an adventure! I think you could give Moonsprite a voice, it would be interesting to “hear” her thoughts as their voyage continues! Maybe even the hound’s …😀🦄🐶

So many possibilities… but one thing I know for sure, it’s not a ‘happy ever after’ conclusion! But I’m going to let them have a little rest in the Garden first 🙂

Yes I thought the same thing, it’s not necessarily “happily ever after”, it kind of leaves you wondering. But that’s what they say, you should always leave your audience wanting more 😀🐱🐼

I think so too, but I’ll need to finish the sequel to Song of the Sea Goddess first! Also, I’ve sort of promised my characters from my second novel that they also should have another book (yes, they do talk to me 😉 )

Hey! Great story! And a worthy ending, I like it. Quite a bit of responsibility she’s earned, taking over Mother Earth’s kingdom and all. I bet she’ll do fine, though. I enjoyed this a lot, Chris. well done.

The quest is over, but these characters are so real the journey could continue. I smiled as it became clear that Tarron turned out to be an ally. Thumbs up to Sinead, a worthy leader. I call her the HCIC, Head Chick In Charge. Great ending to a good series Chris.
My dads health issues caused me to miss a bit this month, but I will backtrack to what I missed as time permits.
