Endings

Elffin, One of True Sight
Short: Disappeared before anyone could notice.

Long: After the war, Elffin disappeared without a word. Several months later, an official announcement was made in Etruria that Prince Myrddin was alive. The prince that hid his identity to help General Roy in the war... That story is now a favorite among bards and writers.
