Epilogue I
Lauryn, Bryan, and Allayne arrived in San Francisco at about 3:00 pm, unconscious. The People mind wiped them of all their memories of the fairy world.
"What about their parents?" Holly said. "The kids have been with us for days."
"They'll just have to resolve that themselves," Trouble said. "There's nothing we can do for them."
"So that's it then? No more adventures with that girl?"
"That's right."
"It's kind of hard to give them up. Those two being the only human girls we've worked with…well, ever."
Trouble nodded. "But I think the LEP is starting to get too friendly towards mud men. Look at Artemis."
"Yes," Holly agreed.
Epilogue II
"Hello, Holly," Artemis greeted Holly over the communicator she'd given him months ago. "It's nice to hear from you."
"Hey, Artemis," she said. She looked different. There were signs on her cheeks that she had been crying earlier and her eyes seemed to have lost their playful sparkle. "I'm afraid I bring bad news."
"Oh? What might be the trouble?"
"Captain Oak. John. You remember him."
"Yes, the young captain you seem very fond of."
Usually a comment like that would have Holly blushing like crazy but she didn't seem to mind this time. "He died yesterday afternoon, after Koboi's trial. The warlocks say the blade that stabbed him was poisoned. A kind of poison no magic can heal."
Artemis didn't reply. He didn't know Captain Oak very well; they had only met for a few seconds, so he couldn't say he felt depressed. But he knew that Holly liked him a lot and knew how she must be feeling. He felt the same way when she was killed. The only difference was he knew no one could bring him back.
"I know you never really knew him," Holly said, "but I thought you should know, you being a friend to the LEP and the People."
"I am truly sorry, Holly," Artemis said. "I know you must have liked him quite a bit."
"Goodbye, Artemis. I have to go now."
"Goodbye, Holly. And thank you for telling me. You don't know how sorry I am. You knew him well, and I'm sure he was a wonderful captain."
"Yeah," Holly muttered, new, fresh tears beginning to fall, as she terminated the link.
Epilogue III
"Hey, pretty girly pixie," an exceptionally ugly goblin sneered. "You wanna be my girly friend, pretty girly pixie?"
"Ha!" another goblin laughed.
"How's 'bout gettin' over here and bein' my pretty girly, eh little pixie?"
"That's tellin' 'er!" A goblin cackled.
"Shut up, you moronic imbecile," Opal snapped. "Don't you have poor innocent insects to gobble like a crazed maniac, you brainless Neanderthal?"
The goblins exchanged nervous glances at each other and stared at her through the bars of the window. "Wow," the first goblin said, "angry pretty girly pixie. You wanna be my girly friend, angry pretty girly pixie?"
THE END!!!
