They had done it. They finally reached the Light and its power. All that was left to do was send it back to the spirits' world, and so they did. The touched it and heard a crack, one that would make the Light be set free. It swirled around the entire place, and it looked beautiful. It would go from left to right and up and down, until it made its way into the sky, high above the stars. When it did, Samira appeared along with all the spirits that Skye and Eli had encountered before. They all bowed to show how grateful they were, and it sure was a special moment for both of them.
"We shall thank you, Skye and Eli. You have done what we sincerely thought would be impossible. But you have proved us wrong, and we are thankful for such thing. Now that your quest has come to an end, there is a choice you'll have to make. You can choose between staying in this world or going back to your real homes. Choose wisely, for it will be a decision that you won't be able to make twice. We will leave you to it, for there is much left for us to do. May the Light be with you, young children of the Light..." Said Samira as she waved goodbye.
Eli looked at Skye as the two gates for their final choice were created. Deep inside, he knew that this could be their true last goodbye. So he went up to her and talked about it.
"I guess you want to go back to your normal life, don't you?" Said Eli while feeling a bit worried.
"I sure do, but what about you? Will you come with me?" Skye asked.
"Despite how long I have been here, I am not tired of this world yet. I feel like this is my place, you know? I feel like I belong here, and you never know when another problem will appear!"
"I guess that makes sense, haha! Then, I guess this is it..."
She slowly approached him with a tear sliding through her face, yet with a smirk. Eli just held her hands and looked at her.
"Thank you for arriving to my life, Skye. You sure made it a better one."
"I say the same. Thanks for everything, Eli."
They gave themselves what seemed to be the last hug, and also the last goodbye. When it was over, Eli looked at Skye as she walked to the gate that would send her back to her true home. But just as she was about to enter it, she turned around and ran. She pushed Eli along with herself and they both entered the gate that would let them stay in this beautiful world. They were both back Home, but Eli was shocked at what had just happened.
"Wait! Why did you do that!? That was your chance to go back to your normal life!" He screamed.
"And leave such an incredible guy like you that I've had so much amazing moments with alone? You really think I would do such a thing!? Of course I want to stay!" She exclaimed. "Ever since we started our journey, I knew this would be a place I could enjoy being in forever! So why not take the opportunity while you still can?"
"Well, that sure is a big plot twist for me! I mean, I would love to keep spending more time with you! I bet there is so much more for us to explore!" Eli said while extremely happy.
He started jumping around from joy and hugged Skye like he had never done before. It was a hug full of affection, and she really could feel it.
"I love you, Skye! I know there is a lot waiting for us out there!" Said Eli.
"I love you too, Eli. I can already tell this will be amazing!" Skye replied.
They walked around for a bit and reached an end of the island. They could see the clouds floating around and the sun shining with the power of the Light. They would be recognized as the children of Light from now on. Their capes glowed with tremendous power, and so did their souls with the amusing bond they had created.
"We have all waited for this moment. Even I waited, but I never knew what to wait for. But now that I know, I feel like this is what I truly want. This sure is the life I wanted, and I will make every moment of it count. And I hope you do the same, Eli!" Said Skye with great enthusiasm.
They looked at each other and then forward into a great landscape, knowing a whole new journey was awaiting for them. The real adventure was about to begin...
