Citia touched the horseshoe. And it turned into pure gold.
“--defeated?”
*
There's not much story left to tell. Diavolo d'Oro, the Demon of Gold,
was good to his word, because he had shaken on it. He changed Citia's
brothers and sisters back to flesh (gold, red, blue thrice, in case you yourself
ever need to change someone back). His palace collapsed and he spent another
several hundred years trying to find someone as greedy as Emperor
Aurumius IV who would trade children for gold.
As for Licia and the brothers and sisters, they decided to book passage
on the next ship to a faraway land across the sea, rather than go back to their
horrible father, and they lived happily ever after.
The End.
Moral: Just because you weren't born with hands doesn't mean you
can't keep a promise.
