"Well everyone our job here is done helping the gnomes." Lazheros brushed himself off and gestured towards the path up and out of the mine.

Caliaphy shrank down to the fairy again flying over to Serna and grabbed her hair, "Giddy up, noble steed! Hiyah!"

The Shield Maiden reached behind herself to the back of her hair, plucked the Fairy free and brought her forwards so she could look eyeball-to-eyeball, "Caliaphy, I am STILL not your noble steed." Serna released her as she added, "But I agree with you, Lazheros, its time for us to go."

"Teeheehee! You're so silly, Serna." Caliaphy giggled.

Irzen got to his feet and dusted himself off with a shrug, "Yeah, I agree, before you try and kiss me again!"

Serna laughed some more before she asked no one in particular, "Okay, which way is out?"

"Uh, back the way we came Serna." Alyson pointed to the cavern pass that went up and waved once more to the gnomes.

"Sure, let's go!" The Shield Maiden led the others back the way they came and out into the open air.

Serna smiled, "Fresh air and a warm sun! It's going to be a nice day today."

"Where is that little runt, Puck?" Irzen looked around for the Fairy, "Our mission of mercy is over and the deed is done. It's high time we got back to being adults again."

After a long trek back up through the mine to the surface, the adventurers finally could see daylight. The forest canopy providing shade for the swordsman to see better than in direct sunlight when a portal opened up and two very familiar figures came out.

"LADY! WE'RE BACK! Lady?" Quake started to announce herself when she stopped in her tracks, "What in the Realm? Why are you so little?"

"Lazheros? Alyson and Irzen?" Came the voice of the platinum knight completely dumbfounded at the sight of three individuals who should be adults.

The bronze man let out a big sigh and was about to speak when the trickster himself appeared in a flash of light.

"A promise is a promise as agreed upon." Puck hovered in front of the party giving Madeous a courtly nod, "As per your request your majesty. The three shall be one. From small to tall as if nothing happened at all! As for a certain dark elf chronicler, all things shall come full circle."

With a snap of his fingers, Lazheros, Alyson, and Irzen were now returned to their original status quo. Puck gave them all a sly grin and vanished.
