"Alright, time to get back on track. Next stop, Roosevelt Range, you guys can pack up and get ready to head up to the gates, I'll get this stuff figured out." Lorelai said, moving away from the guardians toward Asha and the warriors.

"Is it just me, or does she seem giddy to get us out of here?" Bunny asked.

"Makes sense. The longer we're here, the more likely that we'll find something that she doesn't want us to," Jack replied.

"You think she has more secrets?" North asked.

"I'm certain that she does. But, I think that it might be better if they remain secret for now," Jack replied.

"Okay, this seems good for now, hopefully when this mess is over, we'll have over 50 new recruits, plus the Ancient Warriors. That puts us at over 2500 Reapers. Great job guys. We've solved our unemployment problems," Lorelai said.

"So, you're taking the Guardians back to the Overworld?" Min asked.

"Yup, and nothing can stop me, Pitch, Karma, plot twists, I am done with it all. They dare come near me, I am dragging them to the bottom of Hell," Lorelai replied.

"Great, we've gotten into a steady rhythm here, and I'm not saying that everything seems to be looking up, I'm just insinuating it. You should be fine to go elsewhere for now," Min said, looking up, in case Karma was listening.

"Right, you hear that Karma?!" Lorelai called out.

"DON'T TRY ME LORELAI!!!" a voice thundered out from nothing, causing the guardians to jump.

"I'm not trying you, not trying you at all, we're cool," Lorelai raised her hands in mock defense.

"Alright, anyways, uh, Kan said that he owes you 30 silvers, or something or other," Min remembered.

"Okay, wait," Lorelai gasped.

"Hang on, did you two..." she asked, gesturing to Min and Elizabella who were holding hands, they quickly let go. 

"Oh you did! I knew it! Guys! The Minella ship has sailed! I repeat, the Minella ship has sailed! Pay up!" Lorelai called out. A fair few people began cheering, while about twenty started grumbling and reached into their pockets for their money bags.

"Did all of you seriously bet on us?" Elizabella laughed.

"What did you think we were doing that night when Min arrived?" Lorelai asked her, collecting money from James, Abban and Æbbe.

"Oh, that's what you were doing during dinner. I was wondering why you all randomly started speaking Greek while gesturing at me," she replied. Lorelai smiled and walked off, gathering money.

Min suddenly remembered what she'd been planning to do. After she's destroyed the shadows to see that Jack Frost with Lorelai leaning against him....well. But no. Lorelai had only ever loved Pitch. She'd said herself that he was her one true love. But still...

Lorelai's soul was always hard for Min to read. Might it be because she was where Min had gotten her soul sight, it might have been because of her strange not-an-actual-color soul. 

Soul lights were pretty simple. They glowed and flickered with different feelings that the person was feeling. Together, they make up emotions. 

Her angry flare had come from her rage at Pitch. Her dimming weariness had come from the trial of glitching, and the fast paced tale of the day. Her warm glow of joy and comfort most likely came from the return of the Warriors, as could the emotion that Min had always associated with love and affection. But... that much love?
