No longer is it recorded by man or
machine why The Traveller ever sought
these artifacts nor is it known where
The Traveller goes upon leaving the
Glass Pagoda. The truth cannot be
determined and it does not matter.
What matters is that The Traveller,
like those who travelled before,
is eventually lost to stories and
rumours but does not die.
All the great wizards departed,
vanishing into a silent limbo, to wait
for the time when they would be called
again. The powers abroad in the
universe’s young age may recede,
but they do so like dying stars,
slowly and leaving small fragments of
magic everywhere,
waiting to be rediscovered.
