Rick Ferguson wrote:"I'll find you. We'll find you," he said, glancing over at Marcus.


"Thank you. I can't think of anyone else I'd want more as parents than you two, anyway." She drew both Rick and Marcus into a tight hug, her eyes misting up a bit.

"I'll do my best..." she said quietly, her smile weak as she turned and walked away slowly.

Vivien glanced up as Felana walked by behind her. "Please tell me that days with all of you will tend to go better than this," she said, fixing her eyes on the wreckage below them again. "Even if you have to lie."

"I'll pray that they do," she smirked, wiping tears from her eyes. "We don't normally destroy a fleet of sentinels, at least."

"That I'm fine with," she mused. "If heartbreak every few days is par for the course, though, I'm afraid I'll be incredibly homesick in short order."

Naida wrote:"Thank you. I can't think of anyone else I'd want more as parents than you two, anyway." She drew both Rick and Marcus into a tight hug, her eyes misting up a bit.


Rick hugged her back and made himself smile, regardless of how he felt. When the hug was released, he saw Skeiron awkwardly extended his hand. He slowly raised his and they shook.

Skeiron gave him a good handshake, then smiled at Marcus. "It looks like you and I will be together again soon, after all. Take care, just the same."

"Will do." Skeiron looked between the two of them, unsure of what else to say.

"Oh. One last thing." He detached the saber in its scabbard from his belt, handing it to Rick.

"Where I plan on goin', I won't need this anymore. Hell, I can't even bring it in there, everyone in there's allergic to metal or somethin' anyway. And," he added, lowering his voice, "I told ya. You'd better not forget what happened here. Keep it as a reminder."

"At least you didn't cast a spell to make you and your mother's old boyfriend fall in love," Vivien mused. "Now if only my half of the bloody spell would break, this might not hurt so badly."

"Okay," Rick murmured, clutching the weapon now.

"Last chance to come with, Naida," he said, looking past the future version of himself.

She shook her head, looking stalwart. "No thanks. This is where I'm from. This...is the world that made me who I am. Besides, I could never live among those damned flatscans, much less protect them. I plan on doing quite the opposite."

"Just though it'd be nice to ask."

You are your father's daughter.

"So, shall we?," Rick asked, slipping an arm around Marcus's shoulders.

Rick nodded. Marcus in one arm, the blade the nearly took his daughter's life in the other, Rick looked back at Skeiron and Naida one last time before stepping through the portal to home.

"Can't you just undo your own spell?" she asked after a moment. "I...I'm not exactly familiar with magic I suppose."

She smiled sadly. "Would that it were that simple. I don't even understand all of the 'why's of how it works, honestly. Perhaps mother would, but I won't be getting the chance to ask."

"I suppose we'll just have to keep our fond memories then," she said with a sigh. "They're going back to a much better place. Part of me wishes I could go along."

Skeiron stared into the space where the portal had been for a moment, before turning to Naida.

"So I guess you’ve made your decision."

"I'll be sure to come back and visit..." She smiled. "You both have done so much for me. I'm just still young..can't spend my life held up in some castle."

"I'm glad." She smiled and stepped closer to her Father. She reached out to hold his hands. "Not to mention, Dad will wake up! Aren't you excited!?"

"More than you can possibly know." He hugged her tightly.

"...doesn't mean I won't miss you."

She returned the hug and held it for awhile.

"I'll miss you too Father. You don't have to worry too much. I'll be sure to visit you both! You and Dad need to make up for lost time anyway."

"You've got that right." He released the hug, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Come on. Might as well head back in for now."
