Thank you all for being dedicated readers. It means a lot to me.
Epilogue.
The list of the dead was long. The list of the living was painfully short.
Gwaine was among the many that died that night. His Elaine gave birth to their daughter a few months later.
Percy was cornered at his home in North London. The outcome was not a pretty one.
Elyan's lived, although quite miserably. A month later he was incarcerated for his crimes and isn't likely to breathe freedom until his seventies.
Through some sort of miracle, Gwen is sentenced to twenty years with a chance of parole. Her involvement was minimal and the court saw her as more of a victim than an accomplice.
Morgana is among the dead. She left behind crimes that easily outnumbered Arthur's and was revealed to have betrayed her father and her family more times than she had not. When this was revealed that night at the warehouse, Arthur ended her life.
Mordred delivered the shot to Arthur's stomach, but only after Arthur had made sure he wouldn't see the light of day.
Arthur fell somewhere in between. The ambulance came just minutes after Arthur drew what was perceived to be his last breath. However, it was and it wasn't. He remains in Avalon hospital in a coma while his body tries to repair the damage that the gun had given him.
Merlin visits him every day. He changes out the flowers that sit beside Arthur's bed and tells him every update on what happens at the hospital in his absence. He also redraws the wedding band on his left ring finger.
