Cycle of Reincarnation

Knowing many hardships, her countless years of torment. A goddess searching for her younger brother, failing many times.

Resetting its course, trying again. One cycle leading to Inai, her encounter with Dabria. Untrusting at first, her barrier slowly coming down.

An entity grateful to this one, yet her devotion leading to tragedy. The attack on Inai, not being there, leaving the hazel one without protection.

Remembering years later, this haunting her for a long time. Her partner helping her through it, wanting to move on together.

Five targeting the goddess, binding her in their influence. Killing Dabria, Selica, and Dillon. The deity’s great sorrow, initiating another rewrite.

Enemies acting on this, an unstable ability. Finding herself in Inai once again, her despair on display. Proceeding with her companion, two ending this repetitive cycle.

Bonus Scene From Ava:

Opportunity

I hold things in, trying not to share with others. Dabria coming into my life, steadily opening me up. This despair within me, slowly settling over time.

An innocent one she is, but also a handful. Before leaving Inai, this one urging me to the church. Figuring it is a look before going on our way, this no less a mistake.

Standing at the bottom of the stairs underneath the light of the sun, looking at that one, her hands to her chest. Her face lighting up, this probably not being a good sign.

"Ava, anything can happen. While the church is still standing, we should...you know, get married." Dabria giggling.

Never stopping, acting on any opportunity. Always spearing onward, moving towards her direction.

Admirable if anything, this one continuously attempting to move up the date. Looking at her, an idea coming to my mind.

My exerting influence, this malice seeping into the land. Moving to the building, her eyes on this.

Witnessing the shaking area, seeing her widening expression. Facing away from her, hearing the loud sounds, that collapsing structure.

"What church?" I walk onward, faintly smiling.

"Oh! I know you did that!" anger in her, this one racing after me.

Bonus Scene from Dabria:

Home

While I have many memories in Inai, I will rather have my current life. Building it up, coming this far.

Ava finally moving past this, that horrid day. Never an easy one, keeping everything to herself.

Now and then, I have to give her a poke or two. Though, once she talks about it, she does better.

This day, we come home. Entering this place, Sera, Selica, and Dillon waiting for us. I stand there, Ava in front of me, her hand in my direction.

"It feels good, to be home." Ava smiling.

"Yeah, this is our home, so let's keep building up our future." Grasping her hand in my own.

Each day, we move further away from the past. However, we also create our own way forward. These people in our lives, irreplaceable companions.

Ava leading me onward, their loud voices. Arrangements in this place, a party after this whole madness. Wherever the future leads, Ava and I will face it together.

Ava: There were many endings, but now there is one true reality…
