Part 13

: Hey... we don't want to end the game like this.
: Yeah. Let's do the mega-happy ending.
: The mega-happy ending? That's doable.





Hello everyone and welcome to the final update of King's Quest IV. We rewound all the way back to before we ate the the fruit. So let's do this ending properly.

>give talsiman to genesta

: Rosella gives the magic talisman to the dying fairy. Almost instantly, the color returns to her cheeks and her green eyes begin to sparkle. She sits up in bed, stretches, and smiles at Rosella.





: You have saved my life, Rosella! Not only that, you have saved Tamir from the persecution of Lolotte. We are deeply indebted to you. I want to go outside; I need to feel the warm sun on my face!



: Rosella suddenly finds herself outside.
: My little Hen! Where ever did you find her?
: The ogre over on the mainland somehow had possession of her.
: Poor thing. Well, at least she's back home now.



: Now for you, Rosella. It's my turn to help YOU out. I will return you to Daventry; and with the magic fruit you will be able to save your father's life. We'd better hurry, though, as he doesn't have much time left. But first, let's replace those peasant clothes with your royal gown.



: There is someone else deserving of a reward for his kindness and heroism.



: You have a beautiful soul, Edgar. You should look like what you are.



So all that "be yourself" nonsense? Yeah, that doesn't matter a whit when it comes to fairy tale endings. Gotta turn the little green man into generic handsome prince #85277.



: Rosella stares in disbelief. This handsome hunk is Edgar?!!
: Rosella, I love you. Will you marry me?
: Rosella thinks about it. Then she thinks about it some more.
: I'm sorry Edgar. You're very sweet, but I must immediately return home.
: My father is dying as we speak, and if I don't get this magic fruit home to him, he will not survive.
: Perhaps we'll meet again.
: Well, Rosella. It's time for you to go. Your father desperately needs you. Goodbye! We'll never forget you.



: Rosella gives the healing fruit to her dying father, and strongly urges him to take a bite. Weakly, he does so.



: How are you feeling, Father?
: I've never felt better in my life! What is IN this fruit, anyway?
: It is MAGIC, Father! It all started yesterday in the throne room...
: Some time passes while Rosella tells the story of her adventure.



: I don't think you're through with this hat yet. You've got too much life ahead of you.
: Alexander and Queen Valanice readily agree.





And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the real ending of King's Quest IV.
