Fermat's Last Custard

You may will the Stone to participate in this ritual, the one that made you and Hannan weep with its beauty, that is against the wishes of the Shaper that forged this stone. You may also, through your devotion to the path of the Sisters of Sylandri, have the Stone do what it was supposed to do, which is ferry the souls of the elves to their afterlife. You may, in this moment, find those members of your family in the Tenebral Reaches, and bring them to Faerie, along with yourself, which I need to state would be the same as dying.

You may be wondering how I got into this situation. That's good. Keep wondering. If you pay close attention to the rest of this movie and employ your critical thinking skills, you may find that the answer unfolds as it goes along. Sometimes it's good not to know yet, and to wonder. Sometimes that's the entire point.

Your entire life, you walked within and beside a light beyond explanation. And here in the dark, that light may extinguish, and as it does, all hope of answering those questions vanishes into shadow along with it. In this horrid place you watch as a doom you have avoided so many times, countless battlefields of the Falconer's Rebellion. You should have died in the dungeons of Castle Delawney. You should have died in Sloak. You should have died in the war. Whatever comes next, at least your brother won't have to go there alone. What is Teor's experience of this final moment?
