RETURN WITH THE ELIXIR

"Yes, you will put your souvenir ring on the mantle and write the memoirs to your story, which you believe has come to an end."

"What do you mean believe it has come to an end? It has."

"Oh Bilbo Baggins, you are a very fine fellow, and I'm very fond of you. But if you do not come to understand the true nature of that ring, other members of your family not yet born will. And then you will see that this story is not ending, it is only just beginning."

- Gandalf the Grey and Bilbo Baggins, cartoon adaptation of "The Hobbit"

This is the end of our Saga!  The RETURN WITH THE ELIXIR!  Having braved numerous tests and dangers, and surmounted seemingly impossible odds, our Hero has brought back the much needed ELIXIR back to the ORDINARY WORLD where it can do the most good.  He or she is now master of both worlds and is truly a Hero (with a capital "H"), not to be trifled with in the least.    This is also known as the "denouement" when any open plot points of the story resolve themselves.  Think of the end of "Star Wars: A New Hope" or "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi", it is time to get medals and party!  Our Hero can now bask in his glory and start writing his memoirs...the Hero's Journey is over.....or is it?  It might be just beginning?  Our hero is back in the ORDINARY WORLD after all, and there may be another ELIXIR worth getting.
