"Won't the prophecies give us some clues?"

Belgarath shook his head.

"No. The last passage in the Mrin Codex reads,

"And there shall come a great light, and in that light shall that which
was broken be healed, and interrupted Purpose shall proceed again, as
was from the beginning intended." All the other prophecies end in more
or less the same way. The Ashabine Oracles even use almost exactly the
same words. Once that light reached Korim, we were on our own."

"Will there be a new set of prophecies now?" Durnik asked.

"Next time you see Eriond, why don't you ask him? He's the one in
charge now." Belgarath sighed.

"I don't think we'll be involved in any new ones, though. We've done
what we were supposed to do." He smiled just a bit wryly.

"To be perfectly frank about it, I'm just as glad to pass it on. I'm
getting a little old to be rushing out to save the world.

It was an interesting career right at first, but it gets exhausting
after the first six or eight times."

"That'd be quite a story," Durnik said.

"What would?"

"Everything you've been through--saving the world, fighting Demons,
pushing the Gods around, things like that."

"Tedious, Durnik. Very, very tedious,"

Belgarath disagreed.

"There were long periods when nothing was happening. You can't make
much of a story out of a lot of people just sitting around waiting."

"Oh, I'm sure there were enough lively parts to keep it interesting.
Someday I'd really like to hear the whole thing--you know, how you met
Aldur, what the world was like before Torak cracked it, how you and
Cherek Bear-shoulders stole the Orb back--all of it."
