Return home, changed but still grounded. Leave one final clue for the next generation. Wonder why the next challenge seems easy. Trip over the final dramatic pose. Accept a new prophecy with a brave smile. Disappear before the applause begins. Share the victory feast with everyone. Walk away before anyone sees you soften.

Question 15 of 15 Choose your final line.

We made it because we stayed together. Maybe home was the adventure all along. Tell them I was never here. I meant to do that! Mostly. This is only the beginning of my destiny. Remember: every ending hides a door. Was that supposed to be difficult? Next time, I will win.
