"Please come and visit us again!"
"We'll be waiting!"
"We will look after the graves for all of you!"
The Dryads and the Fairies bade goodbye to Alex's group at the outskirts of the Shadow Forest. Although there had been quite a few mishaps along the way, the trip had finally come to an end.
"We'll come back with our babies next time!" Francesca waved at her sisters.
"That's right!" The other Dryad, Lyla, flashed a cheerful smile. "By then, the little ones will already be walking. The forest will surely become livelier."
"My baby will be the cutest of them all!" the third Dryad, Sylphy, shouted. "I'll work hard to bring two of them back!"
As if on cue, the three Dryads hugged Finn from his left, his right, and behind.
The Fairies and the Dryads all cheered, some of them even whistling as if congratulating their sisters for finding their special someone.
Meanwhile, Finn averted his gaze. But his face was already beet red from all the attention that he was getting.
