I was taken aback to what I saw... Right in front of me was the small to my view, but big in bird size, Winter. Winter had grown, and she looked happier... But, she also looked lonely, which I knew she wasn't.

Winter pecked, and knocked on the door with her talons. Why was she coming to my cabin? Was something wrong?

I could see from the corner of my eye, Athena, race over to Winter and tackle her in a playful hug...

"Wha? Ah!" Winter said, falling over due to Athena. "A-Athena? Hey, I missed you too, kid." She said, wrapping her wings around the-not-so-big-anymore Athena. "But- If you're not in there then, how are you here?" Winter asked, as it hit her.

Winter swooped her body around to face us, and she was surprised by our presence. I could hear a gasp slip from little Nook's mouth.

Winter quickly ran over to us, and I thought she was going to stop, but she didn't... Instead, she tackled me in a hug.

I fell backwards onto the soft grass that was willing to catch me. The fall didn't hurt, I was just surprised by Winter's sudden change of movement.

Winter's wings spread around the small portion of my huggable body.

"Shadow! I missed you!! And, of course Athena!" Winter said happily, losing her cold nature. I wrapped my arms around Winter, as well. Athena came in and joined us in the reunite hug.

"Aww's" Could be heard from the back of us, which were the three that joined us later on in our adventure.

The hug felt warm, not as in warm like Athena's fiery spirit, but, warm as in friendship warm. It was like an old aura that we had was set aflame again, and a chapter that was closed just intersected into the new chapter that we were living.

Finally, the group was back together.
