Mission Accomplished

Moments after the throne room disappears from Juno's vision, she's surrounded by thick, tall trees and four teenagers, dusting off sparkling dust. One of the girls looks to the leader. "TrailBlaiser?" she asks. The leader acknowledges her. "Did we just disrupt the fabric of the universe?"  The boy high-fives TrailBlaiser. 
"Like a boss, we did!" he exclaims. Juno squints at the boy, trying to figure why he looks familiar. 
"Are you one of the Heap's boys?" she asks. The boys freezes up. 
"TrailBlaiser, you wanna take that one?" he asks. TrailBlaiser shakes her head. "Swiftwind, Rabbitleap, help me out here? What do I say? I can't lie, but I can't tell her!" Sparrow stands up. 
"Of course he's a Heap boy. Look at his hair. Is it not exactly like Sarah's? It makes sense. Sarah's daughter is not her own, but she did have a child. This must be her child. Her real child." The boy's jaw drops. 
"Dang." TrailBlaiser sighs. "He's good." Sparrow ignores her.
"What's your name, kid?" Sparrow asks him.
"Er, Septimus, sir." he stutters. Juno looks at them incredulously.
"We almost got shot by an assassin, teleported to the middle of the Forest, and you choose to ask the boy's name, not, oh, I don't know, how the heck did we just get here?!" Juno shrieks. TrailBlaiser helps her to her feet. 
"Okay, first, stop screaming. You'll wake the wolverines. Or make me mad. The latter is worse." she sighs.
"Trust her. She got mad at me once, and I still have nightmares about it." Sep adds. TrailBlaiser ignores him. 
"My friends and I got you here using a secret form of Magyk bestowed upon us by a higher power. We saw that you were in danger, and saved your lives. All three of you." Juno holds her waist. 
"Are- are you angels?" Sep and TrailBlaiser exchange looks. 
"Yes." Swiftwind answers. "We saved you because we are the stewards of stories. Yours' is a story that we could not allow to end." TrailBlaiser does a double-take. 
"Whoa. I really could not have said that any better. I would promote you for speech skills, but you can't get any higher than Elemental." She turns back to Juno and points west. "The Castle's that way. We've got a new home for you in the Ramblings overlooking the Moat. And I promise you the the Supreme Custodian will never find you again." She puts her hands on Juno and Sparrow. A bright red light flashes over them for an instant, the fades. "There, you are blessed with an eternal Safeguard. Similar to the one we contain." Septimus takes TrailBlaiser's hand. "We must take our leave. Long live the Princess." The four teens disappear in a burst of rainbow light. 

Agent TrailBlaiser, RiverFlyte, Swiftwind, and Rabbitleap flash into RTHQ. The other agents watch them expectantly. A wide smile crosses TrailBlaiser's face. "Mission Accomplished!" she cries in joy.
