Many of his friends saw him; they tried to ask
questions but he heard none of them. He waited until Gwynna was safely
asleep in his room, then thought over her words. It had been he who
had killed Mildred—the woman by whom he had fathered his first son.
Laughing softly, he admitted that life was truly a very odd thing. He
then shook his head to erase the events of the past few months. That
story was finished; it was time to begin another.
Morgan Kinwyr and his strange Easterly woman were wed as soon as she
regained her strength. The people of the West had many questions, yet
they went unasked. The fact that the quiet woman who had been wed so
recently to Bowen was now promising herself to another man was made
more reasonable since at least now she seemed happy. For the most
part, the Westerlies agreed that it was better to accept unbelievable
truths as long as they appeared to be harmless enough. Whatever had
happened to Bowen, no one knew. Some believed that he had not existed
at all, while others believed him to have been a thief and spent weeks
trying to figure out what it was that he had taken. As for Gwynna, she
swore to stop using her arts and made good on her promise—for the most
part. She and Morgan lived many happy years together and began a large
family which continued to extend for many years—some of their
descendents walk among us today.
Much is unknown in this world, and this story may not help us to
decipher our seemingly unsolvable problems, but if there is a lesson
to be learned from such a brief history it is this: Fate’s game is to
pretend to toy with the weak and feed the wicked, but it is cunningly
plotting all the while, for in the end it will see to it that it is
the immoral that falls and the innocent that thrives.
