The Pillars and their companions emerged from the Voided Shades, grunting as they struggled to escape. "Yeah! Oh, it felt sooooo good to do that again!" Chrissy exclaimed. "Friendship power rush! Whoo!" GarryBlox cheered. Kate gazed at her surroundings, anticipating the Elements to vanish, but they unexpectedly remained. "The Elements! They didn't disappear!" She exclaimed. "Maybe because we used them for healing magic instead of banishing?" Mitzefy suggested.

The friends glanced around and spotted Slogo assisting SSundee. "Long ago, you needed our help, Ian. But instead of listening, we turned our backs on you. Pride clouded my judgment. I owe you an apology," Slogo replied. "Thank you for helping us see the errors of our ways, Zud. It seems I never accounted for friendship," Slogo mused. Zud squealed in delight. Wisp cleared his throat. "Sooooo... apparently, a conversation can save Earth?" Wisp asked. Slogo chuckled. "Something tells me I will be making a lot of apologies today," Slogo quipped.

One month later, the students returned to school, eager to present their findings. So far, their classmates had failed, but they were confident they would ace the exam. "So, kids, and apparently the two top students, do you have any information about the Pillars, or do you think it's just a myth?" the professor inquired. "Oh, we're 100% certain we're going to ace this exam," Mitzefy replied, signaling Crainer and Wisp to open the door, revealing the Pillars. This sight left the professor, the Pillars, and even Slogo gasping in astonishment.

"I simply cannot believe how tall you've gotten!" Slogo exclaimed. "Well, it has been over a hundred years. Will you stay here and teach magic once again? My descendants and I have such fond memories of your lessons," the professor inquired. "...As long as you don't ask for those essays we owed you before you disappeared," he added with a smile. Slogo chuckled. "I'm not certain the School of Magic is where I belong. The realm has grown, and I believe I'll have a look around before I settle in any one place," Slogo replied. "And I long to see what has become of my home," Sigils added. "I believe we all do."

"Then I hope you will return to the School of Magic on occasion and share the wisdom of your great experience with the next generation of students," the professor suggested.

"We would be honored. But if it is wisdom you seek, look no further than your own pupil. He showed me that the power of friendship is a magical force indeed. And that in turning away from others, you hurt yourself as well," Slogo said, pointing to Zud, eliciting another joyful squeal from him. But then, Zud lowered his head and sighed. "It's funny. I thought meeting my idol would give me all the answers I ever wanted," Zud admitted, looking at Wisp. "But instead, I forgot what I already knew. Good thing I had a friend of my own to remind me," Zud said, embracing Wisp.


A/N: That is it everybody! The last chapter! I hope you enjoyed, and I don't know if you were expecting the antagonist to be SSundee, i really didn't know who to choose as the antagonist.
