Epilogue
The spell was broken. The moment Merric was killed, the portal disappeared. The seasons aligned, and time fell back into place, leaving a forgotten but powerful kingdom in its stead. Unbeknownst to most, Gwen had fulfilled a most ancient of prophesies. The love, grown between two of the most unlikely of people, saved an entire kingdom.
Dom, king of Ethane, wed Guinevere three weeks later, unable to wait any longer. Each family, and much of the new kingdom watched as the two were wed in a simple ceremony held in the newly restored palace.
Two years later, the first Crown Prince of Ethane was born, Cyrus, followed by his brothers, Garret, and Henry. Theirs was a happy life, filled with tales and stories and love.
The kingdom of Ethane prospered well, setting in place legends, myths, and stories of the true power of love. But the greatest folk-tale of all was that of Beauty and the Beast.
