Kim's POV

I rattled the bars of my cage, Alistair looking sadly at me. A slumped onto the ground, leaning against the bars. I felt no hope, nothing until I heard something that Duncan had told me,

"I will always come." It filled me with hope, strength, and love. My heart beat in my chest as I heard the giant wooden door open. I expected to see the snake-staff-man standing in the doorway, but instead I saw, Duncan, Rythian, Martyn, Lewis, Hannah, Rowan, and Zoey. Zoey had a tied sweater around her leg, that was stained with blood.

"Alistair. Can you see 7 people in the doorway?" I asked, staring at my friends.

"Yes, their real." He said, looking awed at my friends. Duncan ran over to the edge of an overhanging platform. And pulled the lever that brought the cages, to the platform. Rythian handed Duncan a jar of something.

"Kim, stick your hand through the bars, sprinkle this dust on yourself, then walked towards us, through the bars." Duncan said. I was confused, but stuck my hand out nonetheless. He put some dust on my hand, I sprinkled it on myself, and I walked straight through the bars.

I hugged all of my friends, then turned to Alistair. Rythian noticed I was looking at him, and he put the dust on his hand too. Alistair was free just as I was. Awesome.

Our friends all made it out of the building, and lived freely. Alistair was actually an old friend of Rowan's and he was also a genie. Everybody is happy, safe, and loved. Lewis and Hannah got married, Rythian and Zoey got together and everyone is happy! Yay!
