ok, i have an idea how to unite all this pieces - imagine that all what is going on as an relay race - something like bringing an olympic fire - we can use a gem, a softimage logo or burning heart instead - and each character giving it to the other - they all enduring through the hostile environment, really ENDURING, EPIC ENDURING - enemies, deserts, swamps, snow peaks - and in the end.... all this efforts to throw the softimage logo to the thrash can !!!! and the logo holds in a bullet time behind the can and appears yes or no dialog. and all ends.
