Hm…Weird.

Do you have a general plan?

@Zealz

There were a few maps from upstairs that I managed to grab... I think I can find my way through these lands... But I'll have to rely on these people... Outdated knowledge may be the end of me. Luckily, the magic here works very similarly to magic in my world.

SideSlash?

@Zealz

The key opens up a door back to her... Restaurant? Inn? I'm not quite sure what to call it... The words escape me right now.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Do what you want to do, then. But remember, every action has a consequence~

@Meta

Well, that's always the case isn't it? The point of life is to live without regrets. Which means, doing what you want and dealing with their consequences.

Michael: So you'll help us?

Eve: This world isn't very forgiving and a lot may have changed.

I've been through worse. Trust me.

*I smile*

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

How many lives are you satisfied being responsible for?

@Meta

I'm already responsible for many lives.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

What is that?

@Zealz

It's a key from miss Sideslash.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Well, we've come this far!

@Meta

*I look to the two of you*

What are you thinking? I mean we can always take them to that place...

*Shows the key*

... And show them a new world to begin again, or be heroes and continue in this world and find them a new place.

Who is going to take her place a ruler?

@Zealz

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

I don't think any of us have a way to send you back.

@Meta

*Watches closely*

@Meta

Eve: "I was the ruler... Laila was from where Michael came from. She was an envoy of the elvish nations."

Michael: "We don't need to be sent back... Just somewhere to start again. These ruins can't be rebuilt by just a handful of people. If you can, we'd like you to take us somewhere new... If not, we'll just have to brave a new journey on our own."

I dunno...

*I look to you two*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*ignores them as I stare at the body and shortly after I kneel next to her*

@Zealz

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Longer than you might have been hoping.

@Meta

Michael: I see...

Eve: What do we do now then? We have no where else to go.

Start again I guess?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Whispers*
And we didn't even end up gambling with our lives.

@Meta

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Walks over to the body, staring at it*

@Zealz

*The people in the room then turn their attention to us*

Eve: How... How long has it been since Laila casted that spell?

Michael: And who are all of you?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

This is the most romantic thing I've done in a loooong time.

@Meta

It's a warm feeling in the heart! Though I don't believe I'll ever experience romance of my own. I'm quite content at least watching other's love bloom.

*Michael looks towards Laila her body finally coming to a gentle rest on the ground. He takes Eve's hand and walks towards the Laila's body and they kneel by her and pray.*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Shields my eyes with the shadow of my palm*

@Meta

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*stares into the light and speaks to the voice*
What would you want us to do with them?

@Zealz

*The voice begins to grow fainter with each word*

Laila: "Let them have a new beginning. Somewhere peaceful. Tell Michael... Tell Eve... That I forgive both of them and that I wish them the happiest of days."

*The people from within the sphere begin to move. Eve's wounds begin to close up due to the healing spell*

I think... That should do it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Solemnly hands over the book*

@Meta

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

There are people in that ball?

@Zealz

*I place the items before me*

Yes... I think I can piece things together... Laila was in love with Michael, Michael was an adventurer. But for some reason they got separated and thought they'd never see each other again. So Michael pondered for a long time and allowed himself to love. But Laila met them again, putting Michael in a tough spot. Laila was jealous at first, but couldn't bear to see Michael in pain and so let her own love go. She allowed Michael and Eve's love to flourish over her own.

*The items begin to glow*

Laila: "... Yes. And when a neighboring country came to wage war upon us, we fought back and lost. I did what I could to save as many people I could... But I knew that even if we survived we would be trapped. You... All of you... Have freed them."

*The sphere begins to slowly dissipate and I cast a large scale healing spell filling the room with blue and green light*
