The crossing of the return threshold occurs when the hero has completed the big battle, found the treasure, or pulled the sword out of the stone. It displays the hero's transition back to the ordinary world, usually where the hero or his world has improved due to the adventure he experienced.
 
 
Although ''The Alchemist'' does not depict the crossing of the return threshold, or the transition back to ordinary life, he plans out his crossing of the return threshold once he completes his personal legacy, finding the treasure. As Coelho describes in the epilogue, "Then he remembered he that he had to get to Tarifa so he could give one-tenth of his treasure to the gypsy women, as he had promised." The book does not record his journey back to the gypsy and to Fatima once again, but the book describes those actions as Santiago's plan for the crossing of the return threshold.
