EPILOGUE
A WONDERFUL FRIENDSHIP
Towards the way to Glacier Pass, the tribe of humans were making their way to a new village. The only way they could was to pass a thin bridge that would take them there. It was a place where no wild animals would ever trespass in their territory. There was one human that wasn't ready to go to the new village yet. Runar.
He stood there, looking to where the old village was. He placed his hand inside the bag that he carried with him and pulled out a necklace made of beads and carved wood. It was once his wife's necklance. He had found it on their way to Glacier Pass. Kiko had promises that one day she would give the necklace to their daughter, but since they were both gone, the jewelry was only known as a memory. Runar wanted to turn back and see if he could find the family he lost, but one of his warriors placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I know you don't want to admit this, my leader," the warrior said, "It's time to let them go. You must move on and live through what the future will bring."
Runar sighed, knowing that his warrior was right. "It will be hard to forget them, but I suppose I have no choice. As leader, I must move on for them."
As Runar took one last look, he slowly turned away, but before he took one step, he heard a voice. "Stop! Wait!" Runar turned around to see a mammoth, a ground sloth and a saber, who was riding on the mammoth's back. The female mammoth walked up to him. "We have something that belongs to you."
"Runar, get away from the mammoth," a warrior said, his spear in hand.
"Wait,' Runar said, "Put away your spears." The men did as they were told as Runar turned back around to face the female mammals. "What do you have that belongs to me?"
"This." Ellie reached over her back and placed something in her trunk. Coming off her back was Cheril, smiling happily. "I believe this little girl belongs to you."
Runar gasped. "Cheril!"
Cheril giggled as she was placed on the ground. "Daddy!" The little girl ran up to her father as he embraced her tightly. "I'm so glad to see you again. I missed you."
"I missed you, too. I'm so glad you're safe." Runar walked up to Ellie. "You have my gratitude. Thank you so much for returning my daughter to me. How can I ever repay you?"
"I don't expect anything in return," Ellie said, "My friends and I were happy to do what was right."
Runar removed the necklace from his bag. He placed it in Ellie's trunk. "If we ever see each other again, I'll know that you were the group that brought my daughter back to me by having this. I'll know that you have it."
Ellie smiled. "Thank you."
"Daddy, can I say goodbye?" Cheril asked.
Runar smiled at his daughter. "Yes, my daughter. You may."
Runar put his daughter down as Cheril walked up to Brooke, who picked her up with tears in her eyes. "Don't forget about us, Cheril darling. We love you." Brooke hugged her tightly.
Ellie placed Cheril in her trunk, embracing her and looking in her sweet little eyes. "We won't forget about you. You'll always be in our hearts."
Ellie placed Cheril on her back as Shira was resting and wanted to say goodbye. Shira smiled and hugged the young girl. "It's always great to remember the past. It'll bring you a better future. Never forget that."
"I love you, Shira," Cheril said.
"I love you, too, Cheril."
Ellie removed Cheril off her back and returned her to Runar. He smiled at them. "I will never forget any of you." At that moment, Runar walked away with the rest of the tribe as he had a smile on his face and his daughter in his arms. Cheril waved goodbye to them as she rested her head on her father's shoulder.
Brooke sniffed back her years as she waved goodbye to Cheril. "Goodbye, Cheril darling. Safe travels." Brooke looked at her friends. "Well, what should we do now?"
"I guess it's time to head south," Shira said.
"As long as we're together, what could go wrong?" Ellie said.
"Oh, we are going to have the best migration ever," Brooke said, "First, we'll patch Shira up and then I'll show you all my favorite places. I bet you girls will love the hot springs next to a beautiful waterfall, surrounded by an enchanting river."
"That sounds nice," Shira said.
"Oh, the Ice Age is really getting to me. You know what I think would be great. Global warming."
"Keep dreaming," Ellie said.
"No really," Brooke said.
So the three females were heading down south together as the friends they knew they were meant to become. Could life get any better than that?
Well, as long as Scratte was still chasing after her acorn, the adventures will never end.
