The darkness recoils.

You thank the wizard for their offer, but politely decline. They nod sagely and smile.

"You are well within your right. Farewell, O Hero. Never let your heart betray you, or your path stray from the light."

They smile and lift their hand, and in a flash of blinding light, they disappear, a newfound doorway opening behind where they stood. You wonder if you made the right choice, but you decide that you took the wizard's advice and followed your heart. This restores your resolve, and despite your injuries and weary demeanor, you hold your head up and confidantly enter the doorway.

The darkness ever deepens. But there is a light inside of you that grows ever brighter.
