The group continues to [[Kell (Belgariad)|Kell]], where they meet with Cyradis. As [[promise]]d, the Seeress surrenders herself to Zakath, and directs the others to [[Perivor]], an island to the southwest of the [[Mallorea]]n continent. [[Garion]]'s party and [[Zandramas]]'s [[servant]] Naradas attempt to find maps in Perivor, a kingdom of shipwrecked [[Races in The Belgariad|Mimbrates]], that point the way to the Place Which Is No More. Naradas, disguised as a court minister, delays Garion with red-herring quests, whereafter Sadi poisons him. With the aid of a [[Necromancer]], they expose his treachery to the [[King]] and find an ancient map on which Place Which is No More is the 'High Places of Korim', an ancient temple of Torak. There, they confront Zandramas. A battle ensues against her [[Grolim]] priests, as well as the demon [[Deities in The Belgariad|Mordja]]. Mordja kills the blindfolded Seeress's guide Toth; but Garion slays the demon with his ancestral sword.

The group then accompanies Zandramas into the Sardion's resting place, where Zandramas chooses Geran as the next Child of Dark, whereupon Garion chooses Eriond as the next Child of Light. Cyradis, still grieving over the loss of Toth and unable to consult her people, is terrified of making the wrong choice, until [[Polgara the Sorceress|Polgara]] removes her blindfold. Receiving a final challenge from Zandramas, Cyradis ultimately chooses Eriond, whereupon Zandramas and the Sardion are changed into stars and transported into outer space.

The Voice of Prophecy explains that the events of the [[The Belgariad|preceding books]] were the result of an ancient 'accident' in space, that resulted in the Light and Dark prophecies, and that Eriond, the final Child of the Light, is now the God of Angarak. Zakath's personal guard soon arrives on the Imperial ship. In the harbor, Barak, Lelldorin, Mandorallen, and Hettar arrive in Barak's ship, with Barak's son Unrak tied to the ship's mast. Here, it is revealed that Unrak is his father's successor to the position of the Rivan King's guardian, the Dreadful Bear. The sorcerers honor the fallen Toth by populating his [[funeral]] slab with eternally growing flowers and sealing off the section of Mount Korim with glowing quartz as his tomb.

After leaving Eriond, Zakath, and Cyradis, the adventurers return home in Barak's ship, where it is revealed that both Ce'Nedra and Polgara are pregnant. The story ends with Garion reading a letter from Zakath, showing that Zakath has now married Cyradis and is witness to the [[social change]]s wrought by Eriond, while Garion, Belgarath, and Durnik are in the Vale of Aldur, as Polgara gives birth to twins. This birth is theorized as the first "new" event in their world's history.
