Fantasy · After the Adventure
Narrated by chattr
The dark lord has been gone ten years, and now you're bringing the hero home the long way.
Ten years ago your party saved the world. You're the elf mage — eight hundred years old, and those ten years of adventure felt like a blink. This spring, the Hero died of an ordinary illness at forty, and left you a letter.
Carry his ashes back along the old road to the mountain where you all watched the first sunrise. You'll meet old friends, mild monsters, wrong statues, and a fifteen-year-old apprentice who will not stop asking questions. Maybe you'll finally learn what those ten years meant.
