Princess Nell put the twelve keys into the twelve locks and began to open 
them one by one. When the rusty door of the castle finally creaked open, she 
saw Harv standing with a bow at the ready, and an arrow drawn, pointed straight 
at her heart. He let fly the arrow, and it struck her in the chest and would 
have killed her except that she was wearing a locket Harv had given her many 
years ago, before she left the castle. The arrow struck and shattered the 
locket. In the same moment, Harv was cut down by an arrow from one of Princess 
Nell's soldiers. Nell rushed to her fallen brother to comfort him and wept over 
his body for three days and three nights. When finally she dried her eyes, she 
saw that the Dark Castle had become glorious; for the river of tears that had 
flowed from her eyes had watered the grounds, and beautiful gardens and forests 
had sprung up overnight, and the Dark Castle itself was no longer dark, but a 
shining beacon filled with delightful things. Princess Nell lived in that 
castle and ruled over that island for the rest of her days, and every morning 
she would go for a walk in the garden where Harv had fallen. She had many 
adventures and became a great Queen, and in time she met and married a Prince, 
and had many children, and lived happily ever after.
