Chosen Ones, as the teens were known, gave everything they had to defeat him.

After the Dark One fell, the world went back to normal . . . for everyone but them. After all, what do you do when youre the most famous people on Earth, your only education was in magical destruction, and your purpose in life is now fulfilled?
