Chapter 20 Dawn came only too soon. Rhontu shook Shaikou awake, and for a moment, she thought she was safe in the tunnels of Uboria, and that it was Omig shaking her awake. But she saw Libella Cnurfe` and instantly, the memories flooded back to her. She quickly got up and saw the others slowly awakening too. She looked at Libella, and suddenly, a thought flew towards her head. "I have no idea how to get back. I was unconsious when they brought me here." Despina, who was still rubbing her eyes, smiled at her, "Rhontu found this place ok, I think he can find his way home." Shaikou blushed with embarrassment. Already she forgot how Rhontu had risked his life to save her, but he took her hand and squeezed it gently. Libella was looking at them with a smirk on her face, but she didn't get the time to say anything, because Cnurfe` then said, "I think it's time Libella and I take off. See y'all back there?" The crew began exchanging hugs and hi-fives. Shaikou hugged Libella and whispered, "Be safe." Libella pulled away, a grin on her face. "Well duh. We have to get their. What would you guys do without us?" Shaikou returned her smile as Libella began to rustle up a wind. It started gently at first, but after a few seconds it was strong and already lifting the two in the air. Cnurfe` waved good-bye one last time, and then they flew over the trees. The remainder of the group watched the sky for one last moment, and then Quito broke the silence, "Well, if we're all ready to go, then I guess we don't have to wait any longer." Shaikou turned towards Rhontu, and quietly asked, "How long did it take you to get here?" He smiled and said, "Only a few days. It won't take long to get back, unless we get lost or something." Shaikou looked at him with a worried expression, but he just laughed, showing her he was only kidding. The crew picked up what little belongings they had, and tried to get rid of all evidence they were here. Shaikou sheathed the sword that had killed Typhlon in her belt. Her arm and leg hurt, but she wouldn't let the oothers see this, because she didn't want to slow them down. And so the group began their journey, with Despina and Quito helping the recuperating Delange` when he needed it. Rhontu walked in the front of the rest, trying to remember his way back home. Shortly behind him were Resa and Shaikou, who were both deep in thought. Shaikou was thinking about home, and how she hadn't seen it for weeks. Suddenly, panic seized over her. What had ever happened to her parents, or her sister Vikkida? Resa saw her body tense, and she said soothingly, as if she could read her mind, "I'm sure everything is alright back home, Shaikou." Shaikou tried to make her body relaxed, and desperately hoped that Resa was right.
