As Circe faded and as he saw her arms wave him off he felt relived he would be back home. The trip back seemed to take much longer than his trip out. Then he heard the voices of his friends. They were talking with the traveler. The voices got louder as if he were approaching the doorway and the bright blue light.
The kids all stood in the basement as the blue light flashed and dimmed. Then in the faint blue light out stepped Ryan. Looking at his friends he took a deep breath and was to say "Hey guys I'm down here!"
That's were he was, down and looking up but the words failed him and a squeal with four oinks followed. He stood still as the realization hit his now smaller mind. Trying again to speak but the words were gone and only a strange gutteral sounds came out.
TERROR, WILD EYED TERROR, a that moment the Traveler spoke, "This swine is you friend Ryan, he met today the Great Circe the witch. She asked him to stay as a special guest. He refused and she sent him home to Kalamazoo. I give you Ryan, the swine boar, so he is and so he will stay."
"Come now and travel to any time, place, see, visit with people of history, find your true love of change your destiny as did Ryan."
