In a remote place, forgotten by maps, there was a small town covered by a thick fog almost all year round. In this peculiar place, known as Fogveil, there was something even stranger than its perpetual gray shroud: no one in the town could finish the stories they began. Every tale, every legend, and every anecdote was always left incomplete, hanging in the air like a whisper lost in the wind.
It was in Fogveil that Gregory, our beloved Finisher, decided to stop after hearing about this strange dilemma. After transforming his own city, where every ending was now a celebration, Gregory felt compelled to help this mysterious town.
Upon his arrival, he was greeted by an elderly woman named Mildred, the town’s librarian, who told him about the "Curse of Never Ending." According to Mildred, many years ago, a writer, bitter from unjust criticism, cast a spell on Fogveil, ensuring that no story told there would ever have an ending, as eternal punishment for not appreciating his work.
Gregory, with his adventurer’s hat and a backpack full of tools to conclude the inconclusive, knew that this would be one of his greatest challenges. He decided to start in the most logical place: the library. There, among dusty books and half-written manuscripts, he searched for any clue that could lead him to break the spell.
With the help of the town's children, who were thrilled at the idea of having stories with happy endings, Gregory organized a grand “Ending Festival.” Together, they gathered all the unfinished stories and set out to create endings for each one.
The first story was about a knight who set out to find a dragon to save his village but never returned. The children, full of imagination, decided that the knight had learned to live in harmony with the dragon, and together they protected the village. As this new ending was spoken aloud, a ray of sunlight pierced the fog for the first time in decades, as if in approval.
Encouraged by this sucºcess, Gregory continued with this delightful task, day after day, story after story. From the legend of the Lady of the Mist, who was said to always lose herself in her own veil, to the mystery of the clock that never struck midnight. One by one, the tales of Fogveil found their conclusion.
It wasn’t long before the entire town was involved. Every night, around large bonfires, the people of Fogveil shared their new versions of the old stories, each with a more creative and hopeful ending than the last.
Finally, on the last night of the Ending Festival, just as Gregory was narrating the final tale, the fog completely lifted, revealing stars that shone as if applauding the end of the curse. Fogveil, the town of never-ending, had been freed from the spell and could now enjoy the beauty of every concluded story.
Gregory, seeing that his work in Fogveil was complete, bid farewell to Mildred and the new friends he had made. With a smile and a heart full of stories, he headed towards the horizon, ready to find new places where endings were still needed. And so, the Finisher continued his journey, leaving behind a town full of happy endings and the echo of stories that, at last, had a conclusion.
