“So... this is it,” Antonio said, when they arrived at the mountain after a while. “We’re leaving the safest realms behind us, and will continue to the part that is completely under the Master’s control.”
“As frightening as it sounds, we’ll have to move on,” Samira replied. “Or else we’ll never get back home. I don’t feel excited for being trapped in here forever or dying here.”
James and Thomas looked at each other and nodded in unison.
“I think you guys are going to be just fine,” Violina said. “But... I’m going to have to leave you here.”
“Violina, thank you so much for helping us out,” Antonio said, smiling at her. “It really means a lot.”
“Thank me later,” Violina smiled. “When you’re back home safely.”
She then transformed into her pixie form, and floated away while waving at the teenagers. They watched her float all the way back, until she was nothing but a small light on the horizon.
“So now our objective is getting up there,” Thomas said. “Safely.”
“Well, then, what are we waiting for? Come on, guys! We have an entire mountain ahead of us, so prepare for this to take a couple of days!” James shouted, and ran toward the huge mass of rocks.
“Looks like he’s back to action,” Antonio said and the others grinned in amusement.
