Ending For A Beginning
He had a healthy son. But Igraine could not be saved. During what should be a time of celebration, the kingdom would mourn.
A midwife bowed as she handed the baby to him, then hurried away. He looked to Igraine and a cold chill swept through his body. Then Uther looked down to the baby, knowing he understood nothing of what had happened around him, and felt something in his chest jump and his throat squeeze. The boy had his mother's eyes.
Arthur. Igraine liked the name Arthur.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Nimueh leave the room.
