She... deserves the thanks.

@Intrepid

*Nods and calls Ruby* Ruby.
-Ruby- *Audible through the speaker* Spirit! Is my friend okay?
-She is alive and well.
-Ruby- Oh! May I come and say hello?
-Please.
-Ruby- *Portals in* Violet! You will not believe what a wild ride today has been.

Why would I not forgive you? It was my own stupid fault anyways. Don’t worry about it anymore.

@GalaxyRaider@Audacious

You guys act like you’ve seen a ghost.
*Closes my eyes*
But this is nice.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Ruby, huh?... Where is she?

@Intrepid

When she realised that a family moment was occurring, she left to give them space. I was not so wise, though it resulted well. I will send for her, if you wish to say hello.

The way it sounds, I should be counting my lucky stars...
*When I see everyone standing eagerly in the doorway, I stop and wave*
Hi, you guys.

@Intrepid

It was Ruby’s love that saved you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Okay...
*Follows*
At what point do I realize I’ve been dreaming, or comatose or something?

@Intrepid

Unfortunately, this is no dream. For a long time, we all thought you’d were dead to the storm. Perhaps they will feel the same way you do when they see you. Reassure them with all you have. *You turn the corner to your family*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

*Leans against the wall when it happens, and finally looks around at my surroundings, trying to gather my bearings*
Where am I?

@Intrepid

*Our lights float away from your head and enter Spirit’s chest; his body lightens and he breathes out wisps of black and white*
-Home, in a sense. Follow me. *Exits the pod*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

*Nods*
Okay, just... Count me down or something, so I can brace myself.

@Intrepid

Well done, Violet. Your strength and fortitude are admirable, and your soul is certain to thrive. Live well in your new home.
-Spectre- *Counts down from five, and our souls leave your body*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

*Stares silently for a bit longer*
... What now?

@Intrepid

-It is time for you to claim your independence. If you are ready to take this body as your own, then when we leave, hold onto it and let it become yours.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

*Looks taken aback*
Wow... If it’s apparently what I wanted, why is it so surprising?
*Touches my face*

@Intrepid

-Wraith- What we really want is almost never in our reach. When we finally get it, it is no wonder we don’t believe it.
-Spectre- Bah. Killjoy.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Alright...
*After a pause of several moments, my body begins to change, forming features as you said it would, not taking long before the process is complete*

@Intrepid

*A mirror appears before you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

It doesn’t quite feel like what I’m used to, but it doesn’t feel out of place either.

@Intrepid

Good. It may take some adjusting—but it is ready for you to make your own. What remains is to recover your appearance.
-Spectre- Very conveniently, the way you make yourself look like anything is quite like the way I do it. It’s practically an Easy Button, trademark Staples. Reach deep—your soul already knows what you should look like, and it will bring it to mind. Grasp that image, and you will know how to make it real.
