No one knows what really happened to Emmett that day, but he remains a legend of the Whispering Badlands even until now. Of course they survived the rogue attack, and that remains another mystery as to their intent. The journey out of the badlands was pretty uneventful from that point. Rook was of course out of sorts, and the others were thoroughly confused, however, all were glad when the rough green grasses were crunching under foot instead of the soft sand. And that sight, oh that wonderful sight of civilization, made their weary hearts sigh in relief with a newly-dawned appreciation for their lives. They determined to never allow any such oversight happen to their perspective again.

So... for better or for worse, they all lived happily ever after.

The End.
