~ Epilogue ~

ROBERT THE BRUCE’S position as King of Scotland was greatly strengthened after that fateful two-day battle, and life at Belfor and Dumfries gently slipped into harmony.

Alexis had taken Storm aside before the battle and confided her magical abilities to him, waiting for the moment of rejection with twisting fingers and edgy feet. However, instead of finding herself repulsed, she was swept into an embrace as Storm covered her in kisses and told her he couldn’t wait to see the bairns the two of them would produce.

Breslyn, Prince of Dagda, settled in with Chartelle at Dumfries because she insisted that her son be allowed to grow and prosper at his home. She wanted him to be so much better than his father had been and looked to Breslyn and her brother to set examples for him.

Contrary to the queen’s expectation that Breslyn would soon tire of domestic bliss, he seemed to grow and revel in it. He discovered in himself a quiet happiness—a completeness as he played husband to Chartelle and father of a sort to her son.

Young John and Storm’s three sons became fast friends, and there was a great deal of back and forth visiting, feasting and laughter between the families.

Over those twenty years Breslyn, prince of Fae, found that he had to maintain something of a double life as he attended to his duties and position on the Isles of Tir. He had a sister, Aida, the equivalent of a human sixteen-year-old girl who, although she had been taken under the Queen’s wing, was his responsibility.

He would often be away from Chartelle for days at a time (time in Faery is so vastly different), but Chartelle laughed and told him she never worried. Breslyn was devoted and faithful to her and their life, which she told him was perfect.

Breslyn as a Fae had the ability of shape shifting and the power of illusion, and as Chartelle aged into her fortieth year, he too slowly appeared to age—a thing that disturbed him greatly but that he did for her sake and for appearances’ sake amongst the humans around him.

It was in the year young John Bouthe of Dumfries had just turned one and twenty and was taking on more and more of his duties without the advice of his uncle Storm and the overseeing of his stepfather, Breslyn, that things went wrong.

The year before, Breslyn in a moment of weakness had offered Chartelle the elixir of immortality. He had regretted it the moment the words were out. He loved her, loved their life, but his essence had not yet committed to forever, and so he had not insisted and had not tricked her into taking the potion.

She had strongly declined to take it. She did not wish to see her loved ones wither and die while she went on—even for him—and he had quickly accepted her decision. She had smiled at him and touched his cheek. “You don’t really wish it, Breslyn. It is merely the gentleman in you.
