Sora's blissful expression softened as she spoke and he also glanced out across the ocean. "No way.. I don't know what I'd do if that ever happened to my world.." He spoke, looking back at her and smiling once more. "We'll definitely get you and Angel back home, and then maybe we could do something to help you get your kingdom back." He said almost as if promising to do so. If he could do anything to help, then he would.
Eventually the boat came on to the shore of the beach and Sora set the row down before hopping out and pushing the boat up onto the beach. He then held a hand out to Amrynn to help her out of the boat. "Riku and Angel should be right behind us."

The ride was much quieter for Riku and Angel since they didn't do much talking. Soon, their boat came across the shore and Riku got out to push it up onto the beach like Sora had done previously. Angel got out of the boat by herself and the two of them joined Sora and Amrynn. "See? That wasn't so bad." Riku said with a chuckle and Angel flushed some.He

Amrynn nodded and got out of the boat carefully, standing on the beach waiting for the other two,"I hope we can do something somehow... whenever we get back." She said. Once the other two joined them she smiled, waiting to know where they would go from here.

Sora smiled and nodded, glancing at his friend when they pulled up onto the shore. "We should take them to the mayor's house, he'll know what to do." Riku folded his arms loosely, causing Sora to frown. "Well, at least they'll have a place to sleep." He said with a pout.
Angel walked over to Amrynn and gently held her hand as the boys had their little moment. Sora gestured to the girls to follow them, then began to walk down the beach which led to a path and a sidewalk. Riku waited for the girls before following Sora, and Angel gave Amrynn's hand a tug as she followed Sora.

Amrynn followed Angel and Sora quietly, her mind lost in a sea of thoughts. Could they ever get home? Could they ever save their kingdom from the darkness? She wasn't so sure. She was simply an elf and even with what little magic she could do, she didn't really think it would make much of a difference. She was thankful to at least be with Angel and their new friends.
