Hey everyone, so this is my first fan fic and I hope everyone enjoys! This is my alternate ending to epic, as I almost cried when I saw how they ended it and was outraged as well.

M.K rushed to the bloom room (?) to watch as the bud opened and chose the new queen. She had barely even made it to Moonhaven, but thankfully her dad had gotten her message and called the bats away. As she pushed through the crowd gathered, M.K felt a need to be there to see who the new Queen would be. As she finally made it to the front of the crowd she gasped. Queen Tara, who she had only seen briefly before she died, was there not as a wisp or gather of light, but really there. Her skin looked healthy and glowing and so full of life, the powers over the forest still with her. As she looked around the room, M.K saw her eyes travel to Ronin. And he had tears in his even despite his usually stoic demeanor. And then to her shock, she saw Tara look at her. As Tara walked up to her she didn't know what would happen. Right now she didn't want to leave. And, as Tara walked towards M.K, Nod ran to M.K and kissed her like he had been longing to do since he met her. As Nod ended the kiss, Tara came right in front of M.K and chuckled with laughter.

"Mary Katherine, oh dear, M.K, do you still wish to return to being a stomper? Or do you want to stay here and be given back all you have gave, and become the new Queen?" Gasps went out round the room. A former stomper? To have the Queen be a former stomper was unheard of.

M.K spoke up, " But Queen, Queen Tara how can I be the next Queen? Why choose me? Why?"

"M.K, have you talked to your father recently, have you had any time? "

"Well, no Queen Tara, I haven't, why would it matter?"

" Because darling there is something that he needs to tell you, that you must know. I will turn you back to stomper size for three days, but then you must promise me to come back, there is so much more you need to know."

" If you say so Queen Tara."

" And remember," Queen Tara said as she used her magic to push M.K out to a rather large clearing, " Do not forget to talk to your father. "I won't forget Queen Tara."
