Chapter 13 postscript

Here are some conclusions * Lady Oona has been missing for so long that she is believed to be dead (she was stolen by a witch as a toddler), so many consider the day she returned to her mountain home to be one of the greatest days in Stormwind history. one.Her procession of palanquins arrived at Stormwind, led by three elephants.Weeks of celebration, fireworks and feasting (official and unofficial) followed. Her Excellency Oona announced that she had given birth to a son while she was away, who would be next in line to the throne, replacing the last two absent and presumed dead brothers.The inhabitants of Stormwind and all its dominions rejoiced like never before.She told everyone that her son had already hung the source of Stormcastle's power around his neck.

He and the bride would be with them soon, but otherwise, Lady Oona didn't know a more exact date of arrival, which seemed to bother her quite a bit.During their absence, Lord Oona announced that she would be regent to rule Stormwind.Not only did she rule Stormcastle, but she managed it well. Mount Huang and the surrounding territories prospered under her command. More than three years later, in the town of Lianyun in the lower part of Stormcastle, two wanderers came, covered in dust and with sore feet.They took a room in a small hotel and had hot water and a tin tub brought in.They stayed at the inn for a few days, talking to other customers and tenants.On the last night of their stay, the woman (whose hair was so light that it was almost white, and walked with a limp) looked at the man and said: How about it?

Well, said the man, it looked like the mother ruled very well indeed. Just like you.She said bitterly, if you are on the throne, you must also do everything. Maybe.The man admitted that, after all, this really seemed like a good place to die.But there are still so many places we haven't seen, and so many people we need to know.Not to mention all the wrongs to right, villains to defeat, and sights to see.and so on.You know that too. She frowned and laughed.Oh, she said, at least we won't be bored.But we'd better leave a note for your mother. So the innkeeper's son sent Lady Oona a piece of paper, sealed with sealing wax.Lady Oona carefully questioned the boy about the two travelers (the man and his wife) before she opened the wax seal to read the letter.The letter was addressed to her, and after the please Ann wrote:

□□□ Inevitably delayed in the world. Please look forward to the day when we meet. ★ The letter was signed by Tristan, and there was a fingerprint next to the signature, which shimmered in the dark, as if it had been sprinkled with glitter by a small star. With this letter, there was nothing Oona could do about it, she could only rest assured. After another five years, the two wanderers finally returned to the fort on the mountain forever.They were tired and dirty, their clothes were torn and ragged, and at first they disgraced the whole country, being treated like vagabonds and criminals.It wasn't until the man showed the topaz hanging around his neck that he was recognized as the only son of Lady Una.

The knighting ceremony and ensuing celebrations lasted nearly a month before the young eighty-second Lord of Stormwind began to reign.He made as few decisions as possible, but the ones he made were smart (though not necessarily smart at the time).Although his left hand is scarred and somewhat immobile, he is valiant on the battlefield and a skilled strategist.He led his people to victory when the spirits of the north closed the passes to travel; he brokered an everlasting peace with the Tallhawks, a peace that has been maintained to this day. His wife, Lady Yvany, is a beautiful woman from far away (and no one is quite sure where she came from).When she and her husband first arrived in Stormwind, she had chosen a suite for herself in the castle's tallest spire.The masters and servants of the castle have abandoned this room for a long time, and the roof collapsed due to falling rocks as early as a thousand years ago.No one wanted to use these rooms, for there were no roofs to cover them; the light of the stars and the moon, through the thin air of the high mountains, shone brightly in the rooms.The people inside seem to be able to grasp the stars and the moon as long as they stretch out their hands.

Tristan and Evanie are happy together, but not forever.Because, the thief of time will eventually put everything in his own dusty warehouse.But they were happy, and over time, for a long time.Then Death came in the night, and whispered his secret in the ear of the eighty-second Lord of Stormwind.His gray-haired head hung down, and he never spoke again, and the people put his body in the Jongmyo to this day. After Tristan's death, it was claimed that he was part of the Castle Gang, helping to disrupt the forces at the Evil Court.But whatever the truth about this and many other things has disappeared with him and can never be proven.

Ivani has become the Lady of Stormcastle, and she is a wise ruler beyond anyone's expectations, whether in wartime or peacetime.She didn't age as her husband did, her eyes were still the same blue, her hair was still a nearly white pale blond, and (as free Stormwind citizens occasionally noticed) she lost her temper as quickly as Tristan and Tristan had for the first time. Just as fast as when I met her in the glade by the pool. To this day she still walks with a slight limp, but no one in Stormwind talks about it any more than they dare talk about how she sometimes glows in the dark.

Every night, it was said, when the duties of state were over, she limped up alone to the highest spire of the palace, and stood hour after hour, seemingly oblivious to the cold wind on the summit.She didn't say anything, just stared up at the dark sky, watching countless stars dance slowly with sad eyes.
