Mary made a flower appear in her hand, one of the rainbow flowers she had shown them a few times, "These grew here. They looked a little different before this, but they came back after he burned them all," she told them as she watched Mera for a moment.
Mera stood snapping out of her reverie, "We need to keep going," she said before turning and starting towards the woods.
"Wait, how do you know that's the way we need to go?" Eryn raised a brow at her
"I don't. But going back would be useless and there's clearly nothing here. Mary was headed in this direction for a reason I'm sure," Mera said simply
"Um.... I'm fairly certain there's not a whole lot of other options other than forwards," Mary whispered lowly, "I just don't know what's beyond this. Last time I used too much energy this was as far as I got," she murmured, "I couldn't face them on my own," she admitted, sounding rather ashamed of that fact
"Well you shouldn't have to. Now you know all you have to do is think of those who can help you and they can rescue you," Eryn smiled at her and Mary smiled lightly, nodding in agreement.
"Forward," Mera said shortly as she turned and walked forwards
"Ah, yes, I remember how much more social she was now," he said sarcastically making Mary giggle before he started to follow after her, "Maybe if this goes further back you can see when we were actually a happy family," he said to the others, "Can you try and think of that Mary?" he looked at her.
"I don't really remember it," Mary said, "But maybe if you think about it, it can happen," she suggested
"That would be a much calmer walk towards the end. You two wanna test it?" he looked at Kaori and Alari, "I say test it because I have no idea what would happen if we tried to manipulate this landscape to something a lot less terrifying."
"I don't think its so scary anymore," Mary smiled as she rested her chin on Eryn's shoulder, "Now that I know my friends will come to my rescue."
Eryn smiled softly hearing her before looking ahead at Mera, who was waiting for them on the edge of the woods, her face completely blank of emotion, just seeming bored as she waited on them, "At the very least, I would like to see her remember how to truly smile," he murmured and Mary looked at him as he sighed. 
"Let's try it. Everyone just hold on," Mary clapped her hands together, so sold on the idea that there was no way to talk her out of it. 
However, it wouldn't be until the end was in sight that anything would happen. There was a straight away on the other side of the woods, open fields of dead sunflowers on either side of the road. Slowly as the group walked out in to the straightaway, the flowers started to come to life again, swaying in a breeze as they just seemed to bring a life to the dread of the rest of the landscape. Eryn set Mary down as Mera stepped off the path in to the flowers, going after her, but Mary took hold of Kaori and Alari's hands, "Let's keep walking. They'll come back in a minute," she smiled at them, starting fowards down the path, slowly returning to her actual age as they walked. At the end of the straightaway was a large door in the side of a rock face, "Hopefully we'll just exit the planes rather than end up on another one," she said, looking back at them on that note, "Oh I haven't said it yet, but thank you," she smiled brightly and nodded, "If it weren't for you guys I'd still be stuck here. And I'm very glad to see you're alright, Alari. I wish I could've helped prevent that happening earlier...." her smile faltered just a hair as she said it
