What does that mean for us?

@Zealz

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Though it doesn’t look like it worked out too well for them.

@Meta

I think...

*I walk closer to the sphere and place my hand onto it*

Just as I thought... The energy I've been feeling, this entire place... Is resonating from this. What we see here is her body, but her soul - all of it - has been used to save whatever she could... The ultimate sacrifice. All she wanted was for someone to remember her and know her story.

*I look to you both*

Give me the items... I'll prepare a healing spell and let these people out.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

It must have something to do with the diary. Eloping?

@Meta

If that's the case... Why would the both of them lead us here?

*The two wisps reappear and enter into the sphere, behind Laila two bodies illuminate. Eve was dying, and Michael was trying to stop the bleeding*

Ah... I see now... She had to choose whether to save Eve or fight and save the people. She wasn't blinded by her jealousy at least... That speaks volumes of her character.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

I guess we’ve got to let them out somehow.

@Meta

It's not that easy... I think the three items We've gathered and the information we've been able to deduce come together somehow, maybe a pre-set spell or incantation? Also there's still two pieces missing from this picture... Where's Eve and Michael?

*Looks around the room for traps or mechanisms, while sticking to the shadows*
Wow...
*Toes my way back to the entrance while disturbing as little as I can*

@Meta

*As you do I finish removing most of the debris*

It's a memory spell along with a chronus spell... Tampering with time... That's a tricky slipery slope... She casted this... She's incredibly strong.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

I’ll go investigate!
*Jumps headfirst into the shadows*

@Meta

*As you do you find yourself in a chamber of sorts. In the middle was a sphere where time seemed to have stopped. Within the sphere are the few citizens who ran into the basement. The few who hoped against all hope that they'd be saved. In the middle of this sphere... Was Laila praying.*

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Have you felt anything else around here, mage?

@Zealz

A very strong magical source.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for anything!

@Meta

I'll move the debris out of the way

*I then point my hand towards the rubble and debris and clear the biggest pieces away first to clear a path*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

Don’t get lost! We might not be able to find you again.

@Meta

*We proceed into the basement, Noct shows us each turn he took until we reached where he lost them. A large blockage of debris.*

So far no resistance... But this... Might be where that ends.

Myriad Reality

*We reach the entrance to the basement*

Here we are...

*I hold out a hand and cast an illumination spell*

Let's proceed cautiously. There were shadows down here.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*lands on the ground, making a small crater, though with almost no sound when I do land*
Being trapped in here...
*looks at you*
...does not make me want to take scenic routes. I recommend we should try to finish this. I have a bad feeling about what's to come.

@Zealz

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

*Laughs*
Good job getting us here quickly!

@Meta

Well from what I remember from Noct's vision, it should be this way.

*Noct hoots at me and points a wing the other way*

Oh... Thanks buddy! THIS WAY

*I walk towards where Noct pointed*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Very well, let us make a shortcut.
*jumps up and then stomps into the ground*

@Zealz

*The ground begins to crumble and we hurtle towards the first floor, I quickly cast a levitation spell so that we don't hit the ground far too fast*

That's one hell of a shortcut.
