Epilogue - Part 2
**SPOILER ALERT**
Outside in the warm sunshine of
Makaran, a carriage awaited.
This
contraption was the formal carriage used for processions, not the usual mode of
transport on Makaran. A beautiful woman sat primly upon the scarlet leather
seat, her honeyed hair intricately braided. Bright blue eyes focused upon him
as he approached. She preferred the old style of travel when on the ground,
claiming technology was for space faring.
Enris
laughed under his breath. Prim she might appear to watchers, but those eyes
promised devilry.
He clambered
in to sit beside her, waving the driver to his duty. The horses pulled at the traces
to start the vehicle moving, and he said, “It is done. He chose death. Pity; he
deserves to suffer.”
“Will
he confess?”
“To
all of it.”
She
lifted a slim hand and rested it upon his cheek. “Enris, then it is over and we
have learned the lessons of the past. Release those burdens and set aside
thoughts of vengeance. I have, and my heart sings in the release from that
darkness. It is time now to summon a new future.”
Indeed,
the future now called to him daily.
Capturing
her hand and bringing it to his lips, he murmured, “Leffandir, will you marry
me?”
The End
