Triumphant in battle, harmony is restored to the empire.
Being blinded in the battle has allowed the Counselor's Son to
see the error of his ways. His gift to the kingdom is a
spectacular presentation of fireworks to illuminate and
unite in peace.
The lights fade up and the Tatami Deck slides forward. We get the
sense that some time has passed and we relish in the resolution of the
story. The Twins are reunited with each-other, their Nursemaid and their
Valets. The Empire is restored with the Twins as the rulers. The Boy has
wed the Chief Archer's Daughter. The Girl has married the Firefly Boy and
is now pregnant. The Chief Archer, now dressed in a ceremonial Imperial
robe, presents his bow and breaks it over his knee signifying his new
dedication to peace.
A moment of tension arises as the Counselor and his son arrive at
the celebration. The Son bears what looks like an explosive device.
However, the device is not a weapon but rather a firework. In a glorious
gesture of peace and reconciliation the Counselor's son illuminates the
skies over the Empire with a magnificent pyrotechnic display. The Counselor
and his son have realized the error of their ways and are determined to act
now in the name of peace. The Death Machine rises from the void except it
has been converted to a beautiful spinning windmill of fire. The Court Jester
emerges from behind the machine.
The peoples of the world of KÀ have been united, peace pervades the land and
the civilization can live in peace and harmony.
