TITLE: "Hope Triumphant: Duende" SUMMARY: After Duncan gets married, Methos goes on a cruise. AUTHORS: Janeen Kelley Grohsmeyer and Vi Moreau RATED: PG-13 CHARACTERS: Methos, Elena Duran, Cassandra DISCLAIMER: We didn't come up with the idea of HL. No money is being made from this story. NOTE: This story is part of Janeen's Hope Series. It is set in the HL3 universe, so the events of HL2 and Endgame didn't happen here. "Duende" follows "Goddess Child" (http://users.erols.com/darkpanther/Goddesschild.htm ). Elena Duran is visiting from another universe, and whatever happens to her here is not canon unless Vi Moreau wants it to be. As always, many, many fervent thanks to our betareaders!
