(Yay!)

Akurle took a deep breath and help on to the orb, which was no longer burning hot. "First, to Buttons' kingdom."

Akurle wasn't sure what it looked like, so she just imagined a palace with Mr. Buttons inside. Buttons was doing most of the hard work, though. Akurle chanted a few times and the portal opened up in front of her, much easier than the first time. This portal also had a gold frame with bronze symbols on it, and the actual portal was a slightly trasnparent blue.

Akurle took a deep breath. Buttons let go of the orb and looked up at her. His expression was filled with happiness. Akurle was happy for him, but also sad. This could be the last time they ever saw each other.

"Goodbye," she whispered.Then, overfilled with emotion, she pulled him into a tight hug. She soon found herself crying.

Akurle heard footsteps behind her, and Cronin came running up to them. He had tears in his eyes, and a panicked look on his face. "I'm so sorry, the Dark Lord cursed me and I should have told you but I didn't want you to turn on me and-" he stopped when he saw the portal in front of them. "How..."

"It was Darcious," Buttons said. He pointed at her.

"Oh." Cronin was still confused, but he didn't ask any more questions about her. "And.. you're leaving now?"

"Yes," Akur,le said through her tears.

"Could I come?"

"You shouldn't. There aren't any griffins in Jamaa." Akurle pulled away from Buttons,  and wiped the tears out of her eyes.

"You could come with me," Buttons suggested.

Cronin smiled the hugest smile Akurle had ever seen. He looked at the portal, then back at Akurle.

"Oh, I'm gonna miss you." Akurle hugged Cronin and tried not to cry anymore.

"We could always visit. I have a portal system in my kingdom that we could program to your world. But we couldn't do it often, or the animals in Jamaa would get suspicious."

"Sure." Akurle hugged Buttons again. He gave her ear a lick and pulled away.
