The Magic Mirror, which has been clouded by a mystical darkness since the night Prince Alexander was kidnapped, is restored, and King Graham decides to pass on his adventurer's cap to one of his children. As the game ends, King Graham tosses the cap to Alexander and Rosella, who reach out to catch it.

This was written to be a novel-style walkthrough used to solve the game. The "Encyclopedia of Daventry" in the first and second edition offered a few more backstories and details about the various characters and objects from the game.

Alexander's kidnapping. Choosing what he felt was best for Daventry, in an attempt to protect the land, he started sending innocent girls off to be sacrificed to the fire-breathing dragon, even consenting to the sacrifice of his only daughter, Rosella. The princess later forgave him for taking her to the dragon, but his memory of tying her to the stake still sometimes disturbs his dreams. That she was rescued and survived only eases the horror a little.
