"Remember adventurers, even the smallest one can change the course of fate." Dungeon Master faded from view and was gone.

With a sickly grin still on his face, Irzen turned his full attention to Puck, "Now that the adult has left the room; what say you make with the magic, transport us to where we need to be and THEN I'll decide whether or not you would look better flambeed or char-broiled?"

"Save it, Irzen!" Alyson snapped at him.

"You're STILL no fun, Alyson, even as a child." Irzen deadpanned in reply.

Puck's eyes glowed with magic as a portal to Gnome-gnome town appeared in front of the group, "And you're welcome. Complete Dungeon Master's quest and the spell I placed on you three shall return you to normal. Besides, if you should run into 'ole horn head, he will never see you coming since you're all children at the moment. Tootle-loo!"

Lazheros sighed, "Let's get this over with."

"Agreed." Irzen deadpanned once more.

Alyson nodded in agreement stepping across the threshold of the portal, "Come on everyone."

"Over the river, through the portal and to Gnome-gnome town we go!" The kurori fluttered around Serna.

The Shield Maiden shook her head right before she charged through the portal, "Last one in is a rotten dragon's egg!"

Caliaphy giggled upon seeing Lazheros and Irzen as kids, "You are so silly, Bronze Boy!"

Lazheros narrowed his eyes at the kurori, "I would be very, very careful on what you say and how you say it, Caliaphy. I granted your wish to travel the Realm with Serna, I could always--"

Alyson tapped the dragon on the shoulder, "Or you'll do what? You're stuck in kid mode just like me and the swordsman, so just deal with it. And Caliaphy, don't push your luck. Got it?"

The kurori saw the fiery glow emanating from the elementalist, "Uh-huh!" And slowly hid behind the shield maiden out of sight.

"Serna, since you are the true kid here, what would you do? How would you go about finding out what is going on in Gnome-gnome town? This is your chance to be the leader and ask us for advice." Alyson asked the shield maiden.

"Well, I would walk right up to the first person I saw, introduce myself, tell them that I'm here to help and then ask them what's going on," Serna replied simply, "Wait a minute! I'm the leader now?! You mean, I get to boss you guys around and tell you what to do?!"
