Epilogue to Midvalley's Serenade

It was quiet in the copse where Midvalley the Hornfreak and Nicholas D. Wolfwood lay buried side by side, but the man heard the faint sound of children's laughter floating on the wind. That same breeze blew through the water reeds and made a haunting sound like music.

He stood before Midvalley's grave and read the inscription on the tombstone. For Love and Music.

The priest's epitaph bore the words, For Love and Peace.

The man fell into a dreamlike state and was only roused from his contemplation by the sound of footsteps behind him.

When the girl with the violin joined him, she raised her bow to the strings, he brought his trumpet to his lips and they played his son's soul to rest.

The lingering question remains, were the lovers ever reunited? For some the question evokes sadness for they doubt the possibility. For others, the answer is an article of faith.

May the circle be unbroken.
