Epilogue: Gone but not forgotten

The celebrations of my return lasted for many days. Eventually, I met up with Bulbmin again in a cave known as "Submerged Castle". I was the only white on the team because no one else knew how to swim…well…not well, but I could get to where I was going…eventually. After many months of adventuring, I soon had to watch Olimar and Louie leave. It was a sad sight to see them go. I doubt many of us will survive without his guidance. After a long goodbye, I soon returned to the place where I was born, a cave called White Flower Garden. Moving through each level, I went slowly and carefree, not even bothering with the monsters that were stalking me the whole way, for I was about forty times faster than they were. I at last reached my destination. Eyeing the large white flower in the center of the room, I had a sudden urge to hop into it. Getting as far back as I could for a running start, I made a running leap and landed directly in the center of the bloom. Its pedals closed around me and I gave a small squeal of fright. Then, I blacked out.

When I awoke, everything around me was dark. Not the scary kind, but a nice, warm darkness. I was back in the safe earth. My arms and legs had become roots, and the top of my head was just sticking out of the ground. It was nice here. I decided to wait here for our leader's return. I had nowhere else to go. I'd be patient.
