The end of the hero’s journey symbolizes this permanent change in the hero, where he/she will never be the same. Haroun was inevitably going to be the hero defeating the villain Khattam-Shud through trials and tribulations, to finally restore order and life to Kahani (in both realms.) However, I was more surprised by Haroun’s state of mind at the end of the story. With the hero’s journey in the back of my mind, I think I anticipated a lot of what was going to happen at the end. A pretty good ending for a wonderfully strange story… The Gups won saving Batcheat, Haroun defeated Khattam-Shud saving the Saving, Chups united with Gups, Kahani is no longer separated by sun and darkness, Haroun went home and Rashid got his groove back and Soraya came back….and all was fine in the city that finally remembered its name. I’m kinda relieved knowing Haroun got a “happy” ending but at the same time, there are still so many questions I have. So we’ve made it to the end of the story. Thoughts All’s well that ends well or so it seems… Sho Uehara
