Serna moved towards The Gamer and spoke to him a little uncertainly, "Uh, Master Tommy, please don't die. I like you, I like you a lot. You like Mistress Kana and me and the rest of us. And I want you to stick around. I need you to stick around. And you need to stick around to teach Neven a thing or two about being a decent human being rather than a mean nasty Thief which he still is. Even though I wanted Mistress Kana to bite him--and I still do--you see something in Neven that none of us do. And if you leave him now, Master Tommy, how will he ever redeem himself? How we he ever learn to be a better person. Please come back, Master Tommy, we need you and we miss you--even now."
Serna stepped aside as Willow approached and said, "Gamer, you have a way of verbal obfuscation worthy of a High Elf. Return to us. We miss your company and I miss your company. Of all of the Humans that I have ever met in my life, you are the most Elf-like in your humor and mannerisms. If you were to leave us, I would sorely miss that as I travel with this group. You are important to us, important to me, and your company would be sorely missed if you were to die this day. Stay with us Gamer, your talents are needed, your tongue is required and your presence is demanded."
The Ranger moved aside as The Swordsman walked towards his friend, "Well, Tommy, it has fallen to me to bring you back home to the rest of us. Tommy, you are the most irritatingly, confusingly, mind-boggling enigma that I have ever had the good fortune to run into in all of my lives. But you are also one of the most loyal, dedicated, honorable and just friends that I have ever had in my life. Come back, Tommy, I don't want to be the last of the original Realmers in this corner of The Realm. We started travelling this world together, you and I, and it is only fitting that we should finish it as well. You are the Wellington to my Napoleon, the Merlin to my Arthur and the Holmes to my Moriarty and I would be lost without your wise counsel to caution me about venturing where angels fear to tread. I need you, pal, I need you to give me alternatives and options when everything gets confusing, when everything seems their darkest and when the tide is riding high. Come back to me, Tommy, come back to us. We have a world of work ahead of us and so little to time to do it all in. So, Tommy, if you need one more bit of encouragement to come back then take this to heart."
In his best command voice, Irzen snapped, "Do not go gently into that good night. But rage! Rage! Against the dying of the light! Now wake up! Get off your rear! And become the frustrating, irritating, kind-hearted and understanding Gamer, Human-Amberite hybrid, pseudo-Gallifreyan that we all know, love and respect!"
Once the Swordsman was finished with his words, Dungeon Master's gem and Tommy's Weapon of Power glowed once again matching their former brilliance until all within the party had to shield their eyes. When the light died down, the Adventurers found themselves back in The Arboretum.
"It is done!" acknowledged Dungeon Master as he rose to his feet once more, "Gamer, please, awake and rise!"
