Tumidus Epilogue (1/3)

Reeva had always wondered what kind of ending the author desired, to shove four people from Earth inside his book. Was it for them to save the world? Or was it to give them a chance, however slim, to create a better story than the one he'd written?

By Reeva's standards, the novel was going great—right up until the final ten chapters. The story had progressed smoothly, and from Reeva's perspective, it had been an enjoyable ride. But there was something here, something he couldn't quite grasp.

Was it headed for a bad ending? Reeva couldn't help but question that. When Klad was holding up the world in those final moments, Reeva thought it should've been easy, at least from the way the narrative had built up to it. But after experiencing the mystic force firsthand, he had his doubts.
