Chapter 75 - Chapter 75 Going Home

As Opal glanced at Marlin she teleported away while holding Thomas. Once they arrived outside what seemed to be a mansion Thomas glanced at it as he asked "Is this really okay?" Opal nodded as she carried Thomas inside and set him on the floor. Moments later Opal stared at Thomas and asked "Are you ready to make good on our deal?" Thomas sighed as he said "Just get it over with." After hearing this Opal grabbed his tail as he muttered "B-be careful its sensitive." Opal nodded as she continued to rub his tail. As this happened Thomas laid their completely motionless as he mumbled "I'm gonna have to fix my balance after this." Moments later Opal quit rubbing his tail and began to walk away as she said "I'll have the guards ready a room for you." Thomas sighed as he mumbled "She probably just extended the time I won't be able to move." Moments after she left a guard walked by Thomas and asked "Are you the person the queen sent for?" Thomas laid their on the floor as he said "I'll take it your the one that's gonna help me move from this spot." The guard nodded as he picked Thomas up and carried him to a room. As the guard set Thomas down on a bed he walked towards the door as he said "The Queen thanks you for entertaining her." Thomas laid their as he said "Don't worry about it I had fun to." The guard glanced at Thomas as he asked "Who had fun getting beaten to a bloody pulp." Thomas smiled as he said "I already know its not the usual definition of fun but at least it'll never get boring." The guard stared at Thomas as he said "Don't worry about getting blood everywhere we'll have someone come in and change them after you leave." Once the guard left Thomas stared at the roof as he began to think about how he would get back to the others. While staring at the roof he tried to think about how he had gotten here as he mumbled "I was walking through a forest and spotted a giant tree and before I knew it fairies told me that I was no longer in the same world." Thomas sighed as he said "If Marlin's to busy I'll just have to find out how to get back myself." While Thomas laid their he began to theorize how he might be able to get back as Opal walked into the room and asked "Are you alright?" Thomas glanced at her as he said "Same as five minutes ago." She walked over to Thomas and sat down beside him as she said "I just got news that Marlin found out how to send you back." Thomas stared at her as he asked "How do I get back?" She stared at him as she said "It's actually extremely simple." Thomas stared at her as he asked "How do I get back?" She smiled as she said "I can follow the mana trail you left with teleportation and I can bring you with me." Thomas stared at her surprised as he said "It's really that simple?" She nodded as she stood up and walked to the door as she said "I shall accompany you to your friends tomorrow." As she left Thomas yawned as he said "I'll finally get to go back to them." While staring at the roof Thomas fell asleep and mumbled "Tomorrow I'll be back." Once the sun begun to rise Opal walked into the room and attempted to wake Thomas. Or so she thought she was waking Thomas but it actually just turned out to be a few pillows with a blanket over them. Moments after she began to search for Thomas she gave up and ended up just teleporting back to the sacred tree to see if Marlin had made the preparations. As she arrived she stared at Marlin and asked "Did you do what I asked?" He nodded as he asked "Can you bring him here?" She stared at him with a blank expression as she said "I knew where he was yesterday but I sort of lost him." Marlin glared at her as he asked "How do you lose a person?" Opal turned away from him and began to walk towards the door as she said "I'll use the trees to find him." As she got to the top of the tree she closed her eyes and began to see and feel with the trees as she completely focused on every living thing in the forest. After searching for a few moments she opened her eyes and said "Unbelievable he's actually been near this hole time." As she walked to the edge of the tree she seen Thomas with a boulder tied around his waste as he neared the top of the tree he noticed Opal standing their as he shouted "What's up!" She stared at him as she flew down to him and sat on the boulder as she asked "What are you doing?" Thomas smiled and said "Phase two of training level fifty." She sighed as she said "You know you don't have to do what we do to get stronger." Thomas smiles as he said "I'll do whatever I can to get stronger!" She smiled as she began to fly back to the top of the tree as she said "Once you arrive at the top I'll be waiting to take you back to your rightful place." Thomas continued to climb as he asked "Aren't you excited to see something other than this tree?" She nodded as she asked "Would you mind if I introduced myself to the people your traveling with?" Thomas smiled as he said "I'm sure they'd be glad to meet you." She smiled as she asked "Are they as reckless as you?" Thomas smiled awkwardly as he said "I don't think anyone's as reckless as me." She chuckled as she said "I suppose that's true." As Thomas reaches the top he began to pull on the boulders chain to get it on top of the tree. As he unchained himself he left the boulder their and walked towards Opal as she said "We'll have to go see Marlin for all the details." Thomas nodded as he followed her to Marlin. As they both arrived Marlin asked "Why did you bother coming back here?" Thomas stared at him confused as Marlin said "All she needs to do is track your mana back and teleport to it." Thomas stared at him blankly as Opal put her hand on Thomas shoulder and said "It's really not that confusing I'm just gonna follow your mana back to the point just before you got here." Thomas shrugged as he said "I still don't get it but I can smell the trail." They stared at him as they asked "What do you mean smell the trail?" Thomas stared at them as he said "I can smell mana." Opal put her hand on his shoulder and teleported him and her back to where Thomas was before he was brought to the hidden forest. As they arrived Opal stared at him and said "That won't be necessary since I can sense the mana trail." Thomas looked around as he asked "Where are we." She pointed as she said "You are back to where you belong and your friends are most likely the people in that direction." Thomas began to run towards them as he said "Come on Opal I gotta introduce you before you go." Opal smiled as she followed Thomas to a fire surrounded by Ocis, Lily, Daisy, and Scarlett. As Thomas and Opal ran out of the forest they all turned and stared at them. As they seen Thomas covered in blood they sighed as they asked "What happened this time?" Thomas stared at them as he mumbled "Is it really that expected?" Opal stared at them as she landed and said "Nice to meet you I am Opal the fairy queen." They all stared at her as they asked "Why do you look so young?" Thomas smiles as he said "This fairy queen is just like a kid." As Thomas said this she held up her hand and blasted Thomas into a tree while saying "Don't call me a kid!" As Thomas got up he laughed and held his side while saying "You don't have to get mad about being called a kid." She glanced at him as she said "I'm fine as long as you don't call me a kid in front of others." Thomas stood up and walked towards her as she began to explain what happened and how they met. After explaining everything she stared at Thomas and asked him to make a promise to her that they would have another fight next time they met. Thomas looked up at the sky as he said "Promises aren't my thing." As Thomas stared at her he smiled and said "But theirs always exceptions so next time we meet I promise I'll give ya the fight of your life." She smiled and waved goodbye while teleporting away back to the hidden forest. As she vanished Daisy walked up to Thomas and said "Since no one else is gonna ask you, why are you covered in blood?" Thomas glanced at her as he said "That's my secret." Daisy sighed as she shouted "How is getting hurt a secret!" Thomas shrugged as he walked into the forest and said "I'll be back with some food in few minutes, if you need me just call."
