A/N: Thanks to everyone who's been reading and reviewing. I've loved reading your comments with each chapter posted. I do have another chaptered work finished, though it does require some editing. So it will be about a month before it's ready to go. Anyway, here's the epilogue and now we return to the present day of the 17th century when d'Artagnan first asked his question.


Epilogue

"It wasn't easy, not even after that," Porthos said.

"We did our best each day, but sometimes the sorrows of our past were just too much to overcome," Athos said.

"But we survived each day because we lived together, for each other," Aramis added.

"And now," D'Artagnan asked.

"We still have our bad days, but they're not as often," Athos said.

"And I can always tell when these two are getting ready to spiral down again," Porthos said.

"And we you, my friend." Aramis patted Porthos on the back. Time had not been kind to any of them. Porthos was still the most whole of them all, but he too had had his share of harrowing experiences that left him with nightmares. Still, they'd survived it all because they'd made the decision all those years ago to stick together through whatever this world threw at them. Always, one for all, all for one.
