When Marjolina was fully stocked with breeder eggs courtesy of Zavinrah, Laodhmair, Elaiza, Ridan, Marwyllise, Zenthi, Isabella, Philomella, Clotho, Denarra, Cee, Jay, Ceejay, Makata, Ladrino, Avinna, Norman, and Noelle approached the Deities slowly and in amazement. Then, they shifted their gaze to Marjolina, whose drider abdomen was now the size of a 15-foot snowball.

Marwillyse went over to her sister's upper half, and then used her silk to bind her sister's arms. "What are you doing, sister? Release me at once!" Marjolina exclaimed.

"I don't think I have one anymore, Marjolina," Marwyllise replied, "My family is with them." The black widow drider skittered away from her sister and back to her group once and for all.

Finally, Vincent asked the Deities, "What do you plan to do with Marjolina now?"

"Well, that depends on us!" The Elder said in reply, "But before we go..." He snapped his fingers, and Jamie rose from Vincent's back. Her physical slightly altered body glowed and repaired itself, including the missing insect leg. Then, as quick as light, Jamie had entered her physical body and finally woke up.

...

Vincent and a few males had helped her stand up, and when she was finally up, she checked her body. It was more or less the same, except that her legs grew three inches and her termite-queen-esque rear end was also three inches longer and an inch larger.

"Yeah, a bit of an improvement, I might say," Zavinrah replied, chuckling nervously.

"Thanks?" Jamie replied.

"Anyway, we have to get going," The Elder replied, "Vincent, Jamie, all of you, keep the worlds safe as always."

"We will!" Vincent and company replied, waving their hands.

"Oh! Also, Denarra, Philomella, Avinna, Ladrino, Makata, I think there are several Orders of White Magic that I know personally, both here on Earth and in the Other World," The Elder replied, "I personally invite you to visit them to train more in the arts of White Magic, should you accept."

"We would love to, but Avi and I have a domain to rule over," Makata replied, "Maybe my brother would love to go. Ladrino, you want in?"

With eyes wide open, Ladrino and Philomella nodded quickly. A Plato Navian approached Denarra and whispered in her ear, "Maybe Our Lady should go as well, what you learn may be helpful to our survival in the future." This prompted Denarra to reply with an "I want in!" as well.

"Then step forth towards us!" The Prime Mover commanded, and Denarra, Philomella, and Ladrino did as they were told, going towards the Deities as the fifteen waved and wished them luck.

"The rest of you, be well!" The Deities exclaimed in unison, as beams of light enveloped them and the four living beings. Jamie and Vincent shouted a loud and resounding "Thank you", just immediately before the pillars of light disappeared from their view.

...

With the sunrise breaking immediately on the horizon, Norman asked Cee, "What do we do now?"

"Complete the tour, if ever. We spent a WHOLE night here just witnessing all of this!" Jay replied.

"And speaking of which," Avinna asked, "Does anyone know what happened to the other three?"

"Wait, didn't we kill them by accident?" Elaiza asked.

"I dunno really," Laodhmair replied, shrugging, "Anyway, we should really get going! The flight back to Manila's at 2 in the afternoon!"

"And we have no more time to lose!" Ceejay replied, "Let's go!"

With the sunrise overlooking the islands, Cee and Jay led each of their respective groups back to the outrigger boats, which miraculously survived all the chaos of last night.
