Going back to Earth

The next day.

The day light made its way into the cave and the elf woke up. He looked at them and they were still sleeping. He beat his drum hard, and they all woke up immediately.

"What is happening." Ralph said, looking sideways.

"Calm down, we need to start moving." He said, and Lucinda weakly stood up and held her waist.

"Can you give me some water?" She inquired, breathing into Ralph’s face. He screwed up his face immediately.

"Eww, your breath stinks." He said.

"What about yours?" she asked.

"My breath is the freshest and most…" he was about to complete his sentence when Kiros glared at him.

"You guys are really funny, I will miss you." She said, giving Lucinda a big hug. Ralph twisted his mouth looking at them as they hugged.

"Drama queens." He remarked.

"You are just jealous." Kiros said, and walked closer to him.  He moved his hand to shake her, and she hugged him lightly.

"I have to go now, I will miss you, but you guys have to go back to your world, take care." She beamed. and started walking out of the cave. They all followed behind Kiros as she walked towards the south, and they all went their separate ways. Tears started coming out of Lucinda's eyes.

"Why are you crying, girl?" the elf inquired.

"It’s just that I will miss her." She said, with a shaky voice. Ralph rolled his eyes, and they started walking down the road, following the elf.

After hours of walking, they arrived at the passage to the river, where they found Apedes.

"Why are we here?" Lucinda asked, hesitating to walk.

"The person you are looking for is here." He replied. And they walked into the forest and arrived at the river.

"Isn’t this the same place where we meet Apedes?" Ralph inquired.

"Yes." She replied, and they all stood in front of the river.

"Where is Queen Luna." Ralph asked, looking around.

"Wait!" the elf said, putting his hand on his head. He closed his eyes and saw Queen Luna. Sleeping under the river. He opened his eyes immediately.

"She is here." he said.

"What do you mean by she is here, I can’t see anyone." Ralph remarked, scrutinizing the place.

The elf squatted and picked up a stone from the floor. He walked back slowly and lifted the stone and threw it in the water at a great speed. And the water started rising. Lucinda and Ralph open their eyes wide, starring at the water.

"What is happening." Lucinda asked, walking back.

"She is inside the water." The elf said and Queen Luna came into view. Levitating in the air with her eyes closed.

"Who dares disturb my slumber." She said coldly. As Lucinda and Ralph look at her. She opened her eyes immediately and her wand appeared in her right hand.

"What are you doing here? How did you get here?" she asked, pointing the wand at them.

"I brought them here." The elf replied.
