Epilogue


Next day, Darius' grave

The next day was a very beautiful hot summer day, no single cloud shadowed the sky above. Methos and the boy, who was still holding the tiger tightly, stood together in front of Darius grave, which was shadowed by a big oak. The inscription of the marble gravestone read 'DARIUS beloved brother, murdered in 1993'.

Methos smiled and knelt down in front of it. He pulled a single red rose out of his coat and lay it down on the grave, smiling warmly. "You were always there for me when I needed you most. I thank you for your help, old friend...You showed me love and taught me always to continue. I will never forget you...never."

He got up again and then took the small golden cross, he had taken from Darius dead body, and laid it down next to the rose. Looking at the gravestone, he then whispered, "Goodbye my friend, may you be wherever you wanted to be...You are avenged now...Rest in peace."

He took the hand of the boy, and then they left together, a smile on each face.
