Blaza's point of view:

"That's it. They're all gone Laff," I said as my soldiers lined up preparing to go back home to Zilk. "We'll get you home then we must go back to Zilk."

"Thank you so much Blaza. You have no idea how much this means to me, and Makaes. We'll go anything to pay you back," he said as he attempted to stand.

"Careful! Meme can help you stand. And you don't need to worry about paying us back, this is what alliances are for after all."

"I still thank you, Pika is safe now."

"They are. We all are."

I turned around to face my army waiting to return home, "You hear that y'all?! Pika is no more! We are free from them!"

Screams of joy could be heard echoing through the mountains.

"Let's get you back home, yeah Laff?" I said turning around.

"I appreciate your help Blaza; yes I shall return!"

Only Laff and a soldier named Lilly were left from Makaes; according to my calculations it'd take about three hours to head back. I didn't really care about the distance and time, I was too busy being excited that we were finally free from Pika, the kingdom that'd been haunting us for years.

"Attention soldiers! By now I believe you know the way back, you may leave. Tell King Socks that Meme and I will return soon," I shouted. They cheered and began marching back to Zilk.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

"How much longer do we have to go Blaza?" Meme sounded quite annoyed. I don't exactly blame him, travelling on foot was never my favorite either.

"About five minutes, we're almost there," I replied.

"It's already dark, do you guys still plan on marching back? I'm sure Makaes would love to meet their heros," Laff smiled as he said that.

"You know.... Marching in the dark doesn't sound very fun.... Maybe we could stay overnight?" Meme practically begged.

"Ok, ok, I suppose Socks wouldn't mind. Since we're all done with Pika we don't have any major worries at the moment anyways."

"Yes!" Meme screamed.

"Calm down Meme," I chuckled.

In the distance torches could be seen, signaling that Makaes was near. Meme started picking up the pace after seeing Makaes, clearly ready for sleep.

Once we arrived Laff had given us our own rooms to stay in for the night, and he'd gone to bed. I was lying awake in my bed though, my thoughts revolving around one fact; the war was over. Years of pain and suffering from so many kingdoms all because one wanted more power. Well, they'd finally gotten what they deserved. I felt bad for some of Pika, knowing that some soldiers didn't want to fight alongside Pika but had no choice.

But everything would change from now on. I'd lived my entire life training to fight Pika, and now I didn't have to anymore. I could live a normal life! Oh the joy!

Finally feeling happy with my thoughts, I closed my eyes and allowed sleep to take over.
