Scott eventually realizes that he was not sent into a black void. 


It was only him falling from the sky, you know, the normal thing that happens to all people. 


Actually, he understands that he completed the trial. He doesn't know if Eggy killed the skin-walkers and Erin with the explosion but, they must have gotten the wyvern egg, right? 


Who knows what the actual way to clear the trial was. That trial wasn't like answering riddles and killing basilisk kings, it was complicated and annoying - very hated by Scott. He had to save a lizardman, kill a wyvern, discover skin-walker enemies, find an elemental egg in the desert, be reunited with his old friend Erin, be betrayed by his old friend Erin, walk for hours while being exhausted only to sit on a rock, then wait with disgusting black liquid to become a wyvern host. 


It was not a great way to spend your Saturday.. Or Sunday, or Monday. Scott doesn't know what day it is. Point is, it was not a good experience.
