"How's that portal coming along, S. F?" Orion asked. "It's been a week now."

"I need time, child. You can't rush physics-breaking maneuvers." Shadow Foxy explained.

"Wait, we're breaking physics?" Cory said, baffled. Moonlight nodded.

"Our parents are probably really worried about us, especially me!" Amilie exclaimed.

"A week here is a tenth of a second in the Human Dimension. Spent a whole year here, only 5 seconds passed in the real world." Shadow Foxy claimed. "Anyway, this portal is ready, just needs a few hours to charge up." Orion turned to the others.

"Well, what do you guys want to do while we're here?" He asked them. They thought about it, then each huddled together. Orion could only hear slight whispers. When they broke out of the huddle, they all looked at Cory.

"We've talked about it, and we think you should choose what we do next." He said to Orion.

"Well, maybe we can explore more of the Realm." Orion suggested. Moonlight's eyes widened, and she whistled a strange tune. Soon, a Lortac flew down from the clouds and landed nearby.

"Come on, Orion. You said you wanted to explore the rest of the Island, right?" Moonlight asked. Orion walked towards the Lortac, and hopped on. Cory, Izzylyn, Elena, Moonlight, and Amilie followed closely behind, and Shadow Foxy stayed behind. The flight up was calm, and peaceful. Orion took out the leather-bound journal, and flipped to the middle. The page had a few sentences on it. This realm taught me things. Things that people back home would think are either impossible, or make me look insane. Speaking of home, I'm going back now. To whoever finds this journal, I hope you use this for good. Now, I'm signing off, for the last time. Orion looked at the next page, and it was completely blank. Good thing I always keep a pencil with me. He took out a pencil from his pocket, and started writing. I am Orion Darkheart, and I'm going to tell you about 'The Enchanted Isles.' The Enchanted Isles are wonderful. They are filled with life, color, and adventure. You'll find something exciting everywhere you go. He started. Orion looked up at the sky, and felt the breeze rush past his face.

"Hold on, people." Moonlight said. The Lortac turned to the left, and started going back. The Lortac circled the island for hours, but every time, it felt like the group had never seen it before. The Lortac went down towards the Ancient Ruins, where the portal was open. The Lortac landed, and the group hopped off.

"All right, you four. Time for you to get out of here." Shadow Foxy explained. Amilie jumped through the portal first, with Cory not far behind. Izzylyn hesitated. She turned to Orion.

"I have something for you." She explained. Izzylyn walked up to Orion, and quickly kissed him on the cheek before leaping into the portal. Orion blushed a bit. He turned to Moonlight.

"Well. I guess I'll be going." He said, slightly saddened. "I.. might not see you again, will I?" Moonlight shrugged.

"You might." Orion smiled, then walked into the portal. A bright light covered his vision before he finally returned home.

The End...?
