Except we have prophecies stating that Belkar will be dead by the end of the year and that Durkon will return to his homelands "posthumously". There's also the matter of the Oracle's prediction to Elan: when asked "Will this story have a happy ending?" the answer was "Yes--for you, at least." That's a pretty large indicator that one or more of the others will NOT be getting a happy ending, or he wouldn't have needed to add the caveat.

So, in short, you're ignoring some pretty major evidence that your theory is WRONG.
