They all paused for a minute. That's when Jarred cleared his throat and spoke up. "Err... Does this mean that you're not really evil and you're just pretending?"
Zae clapped his hands slowly. "Correct! Took you a while to figure out."

George paused. He and his group had heard the story from Daiko relaying it to them, word by word. He looked at Xan. "So now we have to kill you?"
Xan nodded. "Yes. I guess I'll allow you, since Zae wants me too."
George shook a little, the thought of killing someone horrifying. But then he thought of how Xan almost hurt Mary, and found it easy enough.
He put all his outer into his hand as he ran up to Xan and punched him. Xan fell to the ground, crushed.
That's when George yelled, "Daiko!"

Daiko looked at Zae and heard something. She looked up.
Right above their heads was a black dragon. Aerovislugia.
Everyone was terrified except Daiko. She mumbled, "I'm going to do it this time," and sang:
"Do you guys all notice that, our friend Alex is coming back?
He is coming back for now, and he is coming back forever!"
That is when the dragon fell to the ground and morphed into... Alex.
Daiko squealed and hugged him, with him hugging her back. Then, she quickly turned around and said, "Alex, put on some clothes!"
Bella turned politely away. Alex blushed and used his magic to make clothes.
He turned toward his father. He said, "Father, I heard everything, even if I couldn't react to it. I'm sorry I didn't realize it before. Don't worry. We're going to break you of your curse so that you wouldn't have to part anymore.
