Finally, the time came when I had to leave the land that had become a part of my essence. I bid farewell to the mystical creatures who would never be mythical to me. Before I left, Cornelius said to me, his eyes gleaming with a newly passionate spark, “I don’t know how I will ever repay you. But I promise, somehow, I will. You found my true love, and as a result, I found true happiness. I thank you for everything. When the time is right, and if you want to come, then I will bring you back to Essieterra. Until then, farewell, my dear, and God bless you.”
The unicorn couple nuzzled each other lovingly, and I waved good-bye to my comrades as I sailed away on the ship.
