Epilogue

August 31st, 2014

Regina and David walked hand-in-hand toward her mausoleum, each carrying a memento to the child they never had the chance to meet. It had felt appropriate somehow, remembering the child who had brought them together before looking to the future.

David pushed the coffin, revealing the entrance to her crypt. He followed Regina down the dark staircase and to the left. David's eyes lingered on the brick wall to their right, the one Regina had erected around her mother's coffin, the one that her magic wouldn't be able to take down. He sighed before following his wife toward the room where they had paid their last respect to Daniel almost a year and a half ago.

Regina handed David the items she was carrying and concentrated on erecting a pedestal similar to the one on which the urn with Daniel's remains rested. They had nothing of their child but Regina conjured an urn before turning toward the David.

The Prince handed her the plaque they had made together with their magic: I will sleep in peace until you come to me - Sam. They had chosen a name for a boy or a girl. Regina sealed the plaque on the urn as David placed candles and flowers on the altar.

Once finished, David wrapped his arms around Regina and held her close. The Queen was trembling, holding back her tears. "Do you want to say a few words?" David whispered, while trying to comfort her.

Regina shook her head. "Can you?"

David nodded. "Sam, we never had a chance to meet you. But you've left on everyone's life a mark that will never be erased." He placed his hand on the urn. "Rest in peace, my little angel." The couple observed another minute of silence before making their way out of the mausoleum. David intertwined his fingers with Regina's as they walked toward their future together.
