EPILOGUE

Queen Fiona, King Shrek, the Phantom, and the former king from Far Far Away lay entombed beside each other. Queen Fiona 'perished of a broken heart', as said by the headlines, but only Donkey and Dragon know the truth.

Fiona's children have taken over the estate, for now. They plan to find a way to escape the throne and live happier lives that consist of family, friends, and an honest living. They will all live in Shrek's swamp if their wishes are granted.

Fiona's assassin was captured during her funeral. He stood beside the Phantom and his search party to the very end. He was a relative of the former king, and his devious ways contributed to the accidental deaths of two surveyors. Each received reparations from the former king's family, and their families have not pressed further charges.

As for Fiona finding love again, she would have. The man she rescues from the Great Desert would have fallen for her, he told reporters, but "tragedy got to her first." The man recovered from his injuries and now works for another royal family as a guard, but he will never forget the human qualities Fiona showed him during her last days.

****I guess is no happily ever after****

****The End****
