The name echoed through the darkness, startling the princess.
“Anastasia…” the name echoes again, this time louder and closer, startling her.
Anya emerged from the hedge maze far away from the palace.
The ground shook around them with a deafening echo, and Anya gasped as the memory flooded back to her.
Green demons began to pour from the reliquary, attacking Anya and pulling at her gown and hair.
Bartok flew away into the night and Anya cried out,
The bridge around Anya began to crumble, pieces cascading into the river below.
“How enchanting…” Rasputin taunted. “Together again - for the last time! You’ll get a kick out of THIS.”
The demons sprang forth, seized Dmitri and flew him to a fifty-foot tall sculpture of a flying horse. The statues eyes suddenly glowed green and took off, attacking him.
Rasputin sprang from the swirling depths and seized Anya’s wrist, forcing her to the stone’s edge.
Anya tumbled off the edge of the bridge.
"Right!!” Anya’s voice rang out as she pulled herself back over the collapsing stones.
Anya tackled Rasputin to the stone floor, the reliquary skidding out from Rasputin’s hand. Next thing, it was under her foot.
CRACK! The Green contents of the reliquary suddenly glowed red, cracks ran all along the living horse statue and it exploded, shrapnel knocking Dmitri off his feet.
Resolute, Anya turned to face Rasputin.
CRACK!
The Reliquary exploded, sending Anya and Rasputin flying backwards in opposite directions. The demons, now free of their bondage descended on Rasputin… and he was no more.
A moment later, Anya was at Dmitri’s side, checking for signs of life. “Dmitri?” she asked.
But no response came.
Suddenly she heard movement and a groan from behind her.
She turned sharply, smacking him in the face by mistake.
Seeing him alive, she threw her arms around him.
The sound of Metal against stone distracted them both, breaking the moment. Dmitri looked down to see what he had bumped to discover Anya’s fallen tiara.
“Dear Grandmamma, wish me luck.
We’ll be together in Paris again soon.
A bientt.”

Dmitri looked at his feet a moment, a serious look crossing his brow. “It was more a change of heart.”
He began his descent to the exit.
“Young man,” a Court Attendant lectured, “you will bow and address the Princess as ‘Your Highness’.”
But Dmitri raised a hand in compliance.

That night at the ball, Anya stayed hidden behind the curtains awhile, her eyes scanning the crowd for a certain face.
“…brings me joy I never thought I could feel again.“
Anya turned and saw a green light emanating from the center of the hedge maze and curiosity, as it so often did, got the better of her.
