Prologue
There is an old saying all people are familiar with: 'All good things come to those who wait.' It's a powerful philosophy and there is also a lesson in it. It reminds us that patience can be rewarding to those who have mastered it. Another twist in it is that something amazing can come to you when you're not looking for it. It's important to never give up as you try to reach your goal, but it is just as important to be steady. But the beauty in not even knowing what you're looking for is that it can come to you even if not in the way you expected it to. Those who look ahead as they try to reach their goals will find that their hardships will be all the worthwhile and their rewards will come sooner than they think.
It's the same for a group of friends who have also become a group of heroes. They are relieved that their journey has come to an end and they can return to their normal lives. But as they look back on the things they learned on their quests, they wonder what new adventures await them over that next horizon. But that sensation is closer than any of them may think.
