But what if there was an alternative ending that could leave us even more satisfied?
In this article, we present you with an alternate ending to Iron Mask that will challenge your perception of the story and leave you yearning for more.
Get ready to embark on a new adventure as we delve into the world of Iron Mask and explore the possibilities of a different conclusion.
The new ending
As the final battle raged on, the Iron Mask, also known as Jonathan Green, found himself face to face with the formidable Dragon Empress. The two adversaries clashed, their swords clanging in a symphony of steel.
But just as it seemed that the Dragon Empress would overpower Jonathan, a blinding light engulfed the battlefield.
When the light subsided, Jonathan found himself in a different world altogether. He stood in a vast, ethereal realm, surrounded by towering trees and shimmering waterfalls. Confused and disoriented, he searched for answers.
It was then that he encountered a wise old sage, who revealed the truth behind his existence.
Jonathan Green was not just a mere mortal. He was a chosen one, destined to protect the balance between the realms of humans and mythical creatures. The Dragon Empress was not his enemy, but rather a misunderstood guardian of her kind.
The sage explained that the true threat to both worlds was a malevolent force that sought to exploit their powers for its own gain.
With this newfound knowledge, Jonathan embarked on a quest to unite the humans and mythical creatures against their common enemy. He traveled far and wide, gathering allies from both realms, and together they formed an unprecedented alliance.
Humans fought alongside dragons, werewolves, and other fantastical beings, their differences set aside for the greater good.
In a climactic battle, the united forces faced off against the malevolent force, a dark sorcerer who had been manipulating events from the shadows. The battle was fierce, but Jonathan's unwavering determination and the unity of the realms proved to be their greatest strength.
As the dark sorcerer was defeated, a wave of harmony washed over the land. Humans and mythical creatures coexisted peacefully, their shared experiences forging a bond that could never be broken. Jonathan, now revered as a hero, became a symbol of hope and unity.
But amidst the celebrations, questions lingered. What other realms existed beyond their own? Were there other chosen ones like Jonathan, tasked with protecting the balance? The possibilities were endless, and the world of Iron Mask expanded into a vast universe of interconnected realms, each with its own unique challenges and wonders.
