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.

“that I have found her granddaughter, the Grand Duchess Anastasia.“
From the other side of the curtain, the Empress called to Sophie,
And Sophie walked to the door as Dmitri went to kneel before the Empress.
“I don’t care how much you have fashioned this girl to look like her, sound like her -”
"No. No,” Dmitri says as he scrambles to his feet.
And she slapped him hard across the face and stormed out of the theater.
After the play had ended, Dmitri waited outside the theatre for the Empress to emerge.
As she was being helped into the vehicle, he deftly took the place of the driver.
And he produced the tiny jeweled box, which she had not seen for ten years.
A knock sounded on Anya’s door.
The Empress’s eyes fell upon the charm on Anya’s necklace, which she fiddled with absentmindedly as she spoke. “What is that?” she asked.
The Empress produced the trinket Dmitri had given her just before.
And the music box’s lid opened to reveal a lovely dancing couple, Anastasia and her Grandmother’s lullaby playing in the background…
And the Empress’s voice joined in with her, singing “Soon you’ll be, Home with me… Once upon a December.”

And so Sophie continued to question her, correct answer after correct answer.
“You hear that child??” Vlad boomed, “You did it!”
—
Anya burst out of the door interrupting him.
And what an exciting and brilliant time they had shopping in Paris, and Dmitri was left to ponder the destiny of the girl he’d found himself falling for.
And suddenly Vlad was very still as he pondered the magnitude of what Dmitri was telling him.
They entered the theater and began moving toward their seats.
Sophie and the Empress sat in a private box together.
As act one came to a close and the lights rose, Anya’s heart began to race in anticipation.
Dmitri took Anya’s hand and led her out of the house.
Anya began to retreat, but Dmitri grabbed her arms and held her fast, “Hey! Hey hey hey Deep breath.”
“Yes?”
"I’m… I…” he stuttered.
And he entered the box, the door swinging behind him, leaving just a slight crack through which Anya could hear….
