Epilogue

Four heroes once saved Cyraveil—a realm ravaged by war—through steel and sorcery, toppling a tyrant and forging peace from chaos. But when the time came to lead, they disappeared without a trace. In an instant, Matt, Blake, Jen, and Carl are torn from victory and flung back to their ordinary lives in Mellbridge, Oregon, as if their years-long struggle never happened. The world moves on, unchanged—except for one chilling absence. Only three return. Haunted by memories of battles fought and a friend lost, the survivors grapple with the impossibility of their journey. Was it a dream? A delusion? Or did they truly leave a world—and a missing piece of themselves—behind? The truth lies in the whispers of magic that still cling to them, and the gnawing question: what happened to the fourth?
