A tribunal is held to determine the fate of Mordru. All the houses find him guilty of bringing chaos to Gemworld. Although their are some who call for his execution, it is agreed that he shall be exiled from Gemworld. Amethyst then curses Mordru to an immortal life of pain in which he must beg forgiveness for slaying his brother.
Amethyst then takes Princess Emerald back to Earth where she prefers to live. She is also given custody of Amber, who is revealed to have been born from Gemworld itself and possesses the soul of Amethyst. Amethyst then returns to White Opal's garden and turns back into a crystal statue.
Over the next few centuries Gemworld continues although its name is lost, eventually it becomes known as Sorcerer's World. While persusing the archives there, the White Witch finds a tome containing the story of Amethyst.
