"How much farther do we have?" Rob asked curiously. "The sooner we reach the edge of the valley, the better."
"Not much farther," Littlefoot replied. "In fact, we're coming to the edge right now." He was right. After some traveling, they had finally reached the edge of the valley. Littlefoot was surprised to feel some sort of relief, probably that he wasn't going to have to see the egg stealers anymore. "Just keep following down this path and eventually you will find the Big Water."
"I guess you won't be needing us anymore then," Rob concluded. He looked over at Threehorn. "Is this acceptable for you? May we leave them and head back?"
"I still don't like this," Threehorn responded. Nothing about this appealed to him at all, but he did give his word that he wouldn't stay with the group. "I guess there's nothing else we need to do here. I will take you two back home."
"Thank you," Rob answered. He then looked over at Pangaea. "Please be careful. I don't trust those two one bit, so keep an eye on them."
"Get them out safely," Littlefoot added. "Good luck!" With that, he, Rob and Threehorn turned in the opposite direction and started heading back.

Zaine had remained deep in thought for quite some time now. It wasn't even on one particular thing anymore. Everything seemed to be spiraling through his mind at rapid speed. He hadn't realized that it was causing him to act so distant from the group until Cyrix mentioned his name. "Oh, uh, sorry. I guess I'm just thinking about a lot of things right now. I mean, so much has happened already, and I feel like even more is going to happen soon. I don't know what to think of it all. I'm mostly worried about Rob. I know things got kind of hectic and I just hope he's okay."
