Chapter 3: Epilogue.
For the next couple months, Carl and Fezzik continued to create more songs together. It only lasted that long because after a couple months, the others were able to completely rebuild The King's Vengeance. After leaving One Tree Island and sharing a very tearful farewell with his new friends, especially Fezzik, Carl eventually return to his home in Florin. Everyone was overjoyed at his return, but no one more than Arabella, who had been waiting for him the whole time, despite being pursued by a few suitors.
Carl's father gave him a second chance to work in the shop, and despite a few mishaps caused by Carl's clumsiness, was able to teach him a proper trade as a blacksmith. In time, Carl had earned enough money for him and Arabella to get married. When he asked her to be his wife, she enthusiastically agreed. The two of them lived happily together for the rest of their days. Well, with their 10 children, of course.
But what ever happened to Carl's music?
It wasn't forgotten, I can tell you that. In fact, during the months that he had been on the island, Carl had collected all the songs he and Fezzik created together, especially that first one; the one they finished, the one that started it all. And when he was home in Florin, he took them to a professional and got them published into a song book. The money he made from it is what helped him and Arabella launch their marriage.
The song book contained the most beautiful melodies the land had ever heard, songs about love, life and the beauty of the spirit. The name of the song book was:
A Gentle Heart
On the inside cover, it read:
Dedicated to Fezzik,
The giant with a gentle heart
Whose gift helped create the beauty within these pages.
And whose kindness captured my heart forever.
