The time loop was severed at last...
The endless struggle that raged over two thousand years was over, and peace prevailed once more.
The light of the four Crystals restored the forces of Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire.
It was a mere trick of fate that had given rise to Garland's wrath.
But magnified by the four forces meant to guide our world, that trick of fate also gave birth to the Fiends.
Monsters ran rampant and the world sank into darkness...
But all that is now past.
With the four forces flowing as they were meant, the Warriors prepared to cross time and return to the world they knew-- a world where peace, thriving civilizations, and all new adventures awaited
When was this fateful day that sent time spiraling into a loop?
None can say.
It seemed the cycle into which time had fallen would last forever. But the bravery of four young travelers changed that. They took the forces that filled the world with darkness, and used them to bathe the world in light.
None will ever recall the struggle the four endured, for the breaking of the chain means that it never existed.
But within the tales of fantasy that people tell, the memory of their deeds lives on...
Tales of Dwarves and Elves, of Dragons and shining civilizations that reached for the heavens even as they fell.
And now their return is upon us.
With the memory of their struggle buried deep in their hearts, they will quietly watch over our world.
Remember always that the forces of the world must be used as they were intended-- that the power of light must never be used for dark, and that the true Crystals reside in your heart.
For you are the Warrior who crossed time.
You are the bringer of light...

Conner woke to find himself laying in a field of grass, bright blue sky above him. As he sat up, he could almost make out the image of the Chaos Shrine nearby, but it faded, like it had just been a bad memory. It was gone now, that Temple of Fiends. 2,000 years had gone by, and there was no evil to keep it from crumbling with age.
Then he saw his friends laying in the field with him. He propped up Ava's head to wake her. "Hey... we did it... we're back."
Ava opened her eyes, looking up at the blue sky. "The... darkness is gone..."
"Yes," Conner smiled. "And now, we had back to Cornelia to celebrate."
One at a time, each of the Warriors awoke. They were six in total. Conner, Ava, Ben, Lumina, Bruce and Emily. In this world, the world where the darkness never came, the Warriors of Light had never suffered, had never fallen in battle. In this world, the six Warriors of Light were able to stand together, no longer chosen by some grand destiny.
