Thank you to Prydwen Magic and CuttlefishShiz for reviewing
This is the final chapter; an epilogue in which I hope one final detail is delt with...
"Happy Christmas Ruth" Gwen passed the box to the girl where she sat on the rug by the fire place in their chambers. It was simply done, stiff scraps of leather sewn together and tied with a checked ribbon. Ruth pulled it loose and lifted the lid before screaming
"Summer!"
Uther rolled his eyes "No Ruth it is most definitely winter, there is snow outside and Christmas only comes during winter"
"Not the season Father..." she sounded exasperated "This Summer."
She held up the contents of the box and Uther understood. In his daughter's hand was a brown bear; intact and smiling a sewn smile.
Ruth jumped up and hugged Gwen "You mended him, thank you so much"
"It is nothing Ruth, compared to the loyalty you showed him and me..."
Loyalty, that was what it was about. That was what had got them both through... loyalty and love for each other.
I hope everyone who read this story and its predecessor enjoyed them. I for one am sad to see it end
Thank you to Prydwen Magic for your consistant reviews and to CuttlefishShiz for sticking with this story the whole way through.
Finally (I know this sounds weird);
Thank you to Igraine Elaine Pendragon and Ruth Igraine Pendragon for allowing me to see your lives and have a poor effort at turning them into words on paper.
I am at the end of this 70 chaptered, double story series... Signing off these charcters to their adventures
