A/N:

Sorry I mean the epilogue. I wanted to join this with last chapter but decide to split it. I know the last chapter is pretty similar to how the episode ended but I think that was a right to get them out; but, as I said in the beginning I don't like the ending with Richard and Kahlen talking like nothing happened in the end of the episode Denna. This part may not be well like so you have been warned....

Epilogue

IN THE FOREST

The darkness loomed as a lone wagon traveled the little known back road. The wagon was covered in dark grey sheet. A pale white horse slowly pulled it on. An old man in a tattered cloaked pushed the horse on.

"Zed its been tow days and he still won't move," Kahlen Amnel on the verge of tears concern in her voice, "I don't know what to do?".

Zeddicus Zul Zorrander paused before he spoke, "He has been through a lot. Most men would have been broken…" Kahlen's heart sank. "….but he worked up the courage to save you and stab Denna," Zed paused again, "it tells me there is hope." Kahlen gave a feint smile.

"You should go back to him," Zed voiced.

Kahlen nodded. Kahlen entered the back of the wagon. Richard Cypher, the Seeker, was still lying in the back of the wagon. He was lying in the back; his eyes open but there seemed to be no spark of life in them. Kahlen sat on his side as she picked up a damp cloth as she rubbed some herbs from a small clay bowl to the bruises in Richard's ribs. The herb was supposed to heal the physical injuries; but, it seemed to do nothing for the mental pain. After stabbing Denna, Richard fell to his knees and cried. Kahlen had to confess one of the guards to help them escape. With Darken Rahl arriving most of the guards and Mordth Sith were in the courtyard to greet him. They manage to escape the through the sewage tunnels in the Mordth-Sith's private bath. The confessed guard carried Richard and led them out into the forest where they met up with Zed. They obtained a wagon from the nearby village and traveled to get as far away as possible.

After escaping Richard fell into a catatonic state of depression. It had been two days and he still didn't move. Kahlen and Zed had to force feed him to keep him alive. She couldn't take it anymore, she broke down in tears and she embraced him. He remained unmoved as still as a corpse. She sobbed on his shoulder. Richard stirred and he silently put an arm around Kahlen. The two of them lay still together, Richard comforting her and Kahlen with renewed hope.

THE PEOPLE'S PALACE

Someone was chained by the hands hanging feet barely touched the ground. It was Denna she was wearing tattered rags with blood and dirt.

Darken Rahl coldly marched around her. "For two days now, my best "interrogators" have worked on you but not even a whimper." He said emotionlessly, "In a way I am proud that Modth-sith are trained so well; but, it seems I must take a personal interest in your punishment…" he paused as he looked her in the eye, ",,,and I must be creative about it." He said as he picked up a demonic looking whip. He marched back and beginning whipping her. Denna shuddered and struggled as the whip filled her with pain.

While her body was receiving pain; her mind soared away far from the People's Palace to across the mountains to the great sea. The glistening light of the sun warmed the air. The cool breeze felt good on her skin. She basked in the calming feelings that filled her. A young man approached her. The young man looks like Richard Cypher, the Seeker. He offered his hand to her and spoke, "I've been waiting for you …"

"I knew we would meet again…" Denna whispered as she took his hand. She happily took his hand. The pair walked into the beach headed to the sun.

The End?

A/N:

How'd you like it?

Okay the prologue maybe a little weird; but, I really think Denna fell for Richard. I didn't really want Richard to stab her but decided it needed to be done so that Richard can come back to his old self. I justify this ending in that I feel Denna fell for him and it was the only thing I believe she could imagine to keep the pain Rahl was inflicting on her. Besides I believe Richard got through to her even though she hasn't realizes it. Awakening the good inside her, I am not sure if I manage to show that in the story. My skills are not that good.

I thought of an alternate ending with the imagination that Denna stabs the illusion Richard as revenge but decided against it to create a kind of happy ending for everyone.

Two new ideas for Legend of the Seeker stories: I've got the title already: Redemption and Soldiers of Confession. I don't know when I can write them since as of now I have three pending stories. This was the last one I started out of the four but the first one I finished so I think I need to finish some of the others first.
