Sure, the urSkeks return to their own world, leaving Jen and Kira to "make [their] world in [the Crystal's] light," but the damage the Skeksis have caused is done; for now, Jen and Kira remain the sole survivors of their race, and have to live forever with the knowledge that this is because of their extermination at the hands of the Skeksis.
