《The Land of the Unknown》Episode 23 (Part 4)

The rest of the Orso Loobas and Miletis watched over the collisional explosion from their view of the tree. Both groups got worried and wondered what had happened to everyone else. Just then, a ray of light appeared from behind them. They turned around and saw Cedric and Ruth, along with Maggie and Tommy.
“You guys made it back!” Bob cried.
“We sure have.” Chief Cedric said, standing tall with his head held high.
From outside, the Loch Ness arrived and parked near the tree as Aehaby, Papeht, Stels, and Antonio rode on.
“Hey, did you miss us?” Aehaby inquired.
“You always say that...” Papeht muttered.
“No, I don’t!”
“So, how did you do?” Henry asked.
As Aehaby and the others got off the Nessie, Amy went to explain to the rest of the group. “I imprisoned Kira into my staff; she won’t be doing any more harm.”
“But wait,” Tommy pointed out. “Why isn’t everything back to normal? The environment’s stopped with calamities, but it’s not getting better again.”
“Life is not like a movie or TV show; it doesn’t happen with just magic.” Aehaby pointed out.
“Let’s work together then.” The other Miletis said.
“Yeah, we can make this place a better world than ever before.” The Orso Loobas added.
“Couldn’t agree more.”
“But even so,” Aehaby turned to Tommy and Maggie. “Thank you for everything. Thanks for helping me and even putting up with my appalling attitude.”
“No problem.” Maggie chirped.
“We should do something to make up for them.” Cedric proclaimed. The others nodded in agreement.
“I’m still going to need to drain her magic out,” Aehaby continued, “As well as bring back this land, little by little.”

“Sure is nice that everyone is getting along now, not to mention being out of Kira’s mind control.” Tommy pointed out.
“Now that I think about it, I might have enough power to bring us all back to our respective homes. I’ll start with you guys.”
“No way, you will?”
“But of course, I promised, didn’t I?”
“Well, yeah, you sure did.”
“Hey, Amy, I mean, Aehaby?” Maggie asked in a polite tone. “Is there a faster way to speed up the staffing process?”
“It takes time,” She responded.
“But, I want to say goodbye to everyone, though, like...” Her words faded as she looked at the ground.
“Well, now you can,” Stels mentioned, missing her point.
“But can’t we at least help?” Maggie inquired.
“It’d be a lot to handle for us.” Tommy pointed out, “And besides, everyone back in our world is waiting for us.”
“Oh, I see.” Maggie walked over to Riku and the other raptors and hugged them.
Everyone but Antonio exchanged their goodbyes, as Cedric mentioned to Tommy and Maggie that they’re more than welcome to visit again, and if they do, the place will look better than ever before.
Papeht and Stels also bring up that their group will go through the portal later, as they and Aehaby had some other things to do beforehand, but Aehaby will be confident to let their team enter first thing.
As Aehaby set up the device to activate the portal, Antonio looked down at the ground with a frown. A deep surge of regret and sorrow filled inside his bones, but he didn’t know how to articulate his apology to everyone else, or was certain if they’d forgive him for his actions.
Maggie looked over in contempt, wondering if he would say anything. Antonio walked over to the portal and waited for Maggie and Tommy to do the same. Before going through, Tommy and Maggie turned to face the rest of the group with smiles and misty eyes.
“Goodbye, everyone.” They both said with a wave. “We’ll miss you, and we’ll never forget you.”
