Chapter 24: The Light in the Darkness

In the Middle Ages, Fiona and Toma were waiting for their new friends to return. " I hope they can make it back before it's too late." Fiona said as she looked at Magus who was getting weaker every second that passed by. Suddenly, a flash of light came from outside. Fiona and Toma ran outside to see what it was. " It's about time you came back." Toma said. Fiona looked at Robo in delight. " You will help me replant the forest." Fiona said. Robo nodded.

As Fiona and Robo were working outside Lucca, Frog, and Toma waited patiently. Lucca and Frog walked over to where Magus was resting. " Such a strong warrior and leader of the Mystics hath been reduced to a helpless human being." Frog said. " Come on Frog, your still not mad are you?" Lucca asked. " How woulds't thou like it if thou coulds't naught do anything to help your best friend and be turned into this creature!?" Frog asked. Lucca thought for a moment then spoke, " Come on Frog, you'll get Cyrus back after Lavos is gone." Lucca told him. Frog did not understand what Lucca was talking about.

A few days past by as Robo and Fiona were working day and night trying to replant the forest. Lucca, Frog, and Toma walked outside. The desert was half filled with beautiful tall trees . " You guys did it." Lucca said. " Thank you very much for your help, Robo." Fiona said. Robo got a little embarrassed. " Do any of these trees have those special berries?" Toma asked. Everyone looked towards the top of the trees and saw a couple of berries. Robo extended his hand to reach the berries. " Here you go, Fiona." Robo said handing the berries to Fiona.
Fiona took the berries and placed them in a wooden bowl. She crushed the berries until there was nothing left except for the berry's juice. " That should be enough." Fiona said. " Well, I guess I better be going." Toma told them. " Your leaving?" Lucca asked. " I've got a reputation to up hold. They don't call me an explorer for nothing." Toma explained and left.

Fiona, Lucca, Frog, and Robo went inside the house. Fiona walked up to Magus while the others watched and prayed for something good to come out of the berries. Fiona carefully lifted Magus' head and opened his mouth. She poured the berry's juice into his mouth, hoping it would have some affect. " I hope we're not too late." Lucca said.

Then Fiona noticed that Magus was holding on to his amulet. " I better take this off him, so he can rest better." Fiona said. As Fiona reached for the amulet her hand was stopped by Magus' hand. " Don't touch it." he said. Magus slowly opened his eyes and got up from the bed.

Lucca, Robo, and even Frog were happy to see their ally alive and well again. " You shouldn't get out of bed so quickly, you need to rest." Fiona told him. " I'm fine." Magus said in a cold tone. " Is that the thanks she gets for saving your life!?" Lucca asked. Magus was surprised at what Lucca had said. " A human offered to help me. After what I did to them." Magus said. " Even though you caused our kingdom so much pain. I believe that a human deserves a second chance at life." Fiona told him.

Everyone walked outside and saw a time portal in the forest. " It's time for the final showdown." Magus said. " Fiona, good luck in replanting the forest." Robo said. " It will take some time, but it can be done. Thank you again." Fiona said as she watched Robo, Lucca, and Frog go through the time portal. She noticed that Magus was still standing in front of the portal. Magus took one last look at Fiona. " Thank you for helping me." he said and walked into the portal.
