A~nd… Bearing Shot!
“Hahaha! Gotcha’, bitch!”
I shout using IDM, as Solasara appears in front of me, holding a bleeding point on her head while she stares daggers at me… “How? How did you know I was there?!” She shouts, as I look back at the pillar I destroyed…
Demi - “Can’t say. But I still got you~!!! SUCK IT!”
A premonition hits me, so I decide to fire a line into the air and avoid the oncoming portal- “Seriously?!” She shouts, in disbelief of her powers being countered so easily…
Wait- Shit- That’s too big!
I blast her with a more powerful bearing shot, and the portal slowly disperses as her concentration falters… That one would have moved the entire island…
Demi - “Guess it’s hard to focus on such a complicated spell, when you have a giant ball of metal hurtling at your head.”
She continues to just stare at me, as she stews in her anger… “How? How did you find her? It should have taken you weeks! That would have been more than enough to finish our plan! You’ve ruined everything!” She shouts, while I dangle from my line of string…
Demi - “Yeah, no... Sorry, but I can’t risk you trying something again. Listen, let’s just end this here, you go home, and I move on with the rest of my family. I’m a little busy with my own problems, so I don’t need to deal with YOU.”
She slowly grows more angry… “That’s it... You’re dead!!!” She shouts, as a portal forms in front of her… I’ll have a harder time hitting her now… Got it! I fire a bearing shot at one of my pillars, and it ricochets off the said pillar, hitting her directly in the head!
The portal of course disappears again, as she’s knocked to the ground. “Are you kidding me?!” She asks, as I release my thread, and approach her...
Demi - “Yep. I’ve got some neat tricks, huh? Listen, I’m just too strong. Now give up already, you’re not going to win. Cut your losses and go home.”
I dodge another portal, and she suddenly teleports herself away… Shit. I quickly fling myself out of my room, using my threads to toss myself around.
Demi - “Hey! Sirius! I need your help! It’s Solasara, she’s the one who’s been behind all this! If we take her out, Fallengrar loses all of his power!”
Siri - “Wh-What- S-Sure! Where is she?!”
My premonition hits me, I see a vision of one of my family members telling me where she was, before she could move the island…
Demi - “South of the island! I’ll slow her down!”
I fly through the air, charging a bearing shot… There she is! I fire the bearing shot straight at her, knocking her to the floor once more, while the bearing on the other hand flies away… The metal orb MOLDED against her head, goes to show how tough people can get…
“I’m’ere!” Sirius shouts! Just as the premonition foretold! “Sirius! Over here!” I shout, surprising him with my ability to speak. He appears in front of me, looking around quickly, until he spots her picking herself up. “Is that her?”
Demi - “Yep. That’s her. Go get her, tiger!”
He looks at me in confusion for a moment, but runs towards her anyway. She stands up, as all of my brothers and sisters stare at her, and prepares to open a portal.
Demi - “Sirius, look out! Portal coming at you from your left! I can’t take her out on my own, while staying mobile enough to do so. So I’ll need you to beat her for me.”
He simply nods, and dashes towards her even quicker, barely avoiding the portal. He tries to strike her in the face, but she opens another two portals, causing him to punch himself. Wow. A tentacle strikes her, but she disappears-
Demi - “Behind you!”
He turns around, and notices a large portal now sitting there. A powerful laser beam tears through the air, as hundreds of tentacles form in front of it! I finally spot Solasara behind it, and charge up a bearing shot.
Sirius suddenly strikes her, surprising her- Wait- The bearing shot hits him in the head… He stares at me with a terrible look of disbelief...
Demi - “Sorry… Behind you again-”
Multiple tentacles burst from the area around him, and plunge into the portal to I assume destroy whatever is on the other side… “What the hell?! Do ya’ know how much that’urts?!” He shouts, as multiple smaller portals form around his tentacles, cutting them to pieces with their own lasers…
Demi - “Sirius, I’m sorry! We don’t have time for this!”
He rolls his eyes, and looks around for her, while I charge up another bearing shot… I spot her, and break her concentration with another bearing shot, while Sirius runs towards the spot I fired at! She rubs her head, but Sirius grabs her and slams her against the ground, causing a small crater-
Her body slightly bounces against it, as she coughs up blood… She shrouds herself in her weird smoke portal stuff- Sirius tries to grab her, but his arms just phase through.
She appears on one of the roofs, as I charge a bearing shot. I fire it at her, but she redirects it into Sirius, making him take another one of my shots to the head… Sorry Sirius… He stands up, and bolts towards her, but she opens another portal-
I fire a thread through the portal, and she tries to close it… “What-” She notices the thread, and slaps her forehead… “God dammit!” She shouts, as I begin to try and reel him in. A thin tentacle bursts forth coiled around the thread, with Sirius attached…
“S-Space…” He says, as he lies on the rooftop, while I fire another bearing shot at Solasara- It’s portaled away again… “Heh… You’re not getting me with that again, you stupid slime!” She shouts, as she huffs from exhaustion…
Demi - “Sirius! Come on!”
Sirius however doesn’t listen, and just takes ragged breaths… I guess he must have lost all of his oxygen when he went through… He looks at her, and she begins to form a portal to teleport away, but he grabs her leg. “Don’t you dare!” He shouts, as he stares daggers into her.
She screams, as the sound of a bone snapping tears through the air…
Demi - “Sirius!”
He tosses her to the street again, and bolts into her, destroying part of the roof he kicked off of, as his landing forms another crater in the ground. The dust settles, and she’s gone again- I suddenly spot her body flying through the street, tearing straight through it. She picks herself up as she comes to a stop, her leg visibly disfigured…
Demi - “Solasara, just give up, please… You’ve already lost, there’s nothing left to gain here. Just give up Fallengrar, and we won’t have to see each other ever again.”
A look of realization hits her, while Sirius cautiously approaches her… “That’s where you’re wrong, Slime!!!” She shouts-
Demi - “Puddle Kid. I’m not a slime, I’m a Puddle Kid.”
Sirius and her just stare at me in disbelief, as I kind of just sit on this rooftop.
Demi - “What? She’s wrong!”
She kind of just starts giggling, as she holds her palm against her forehead. The giggle slowly grows into a laugh, then a weird cackle into the open air. “Who cares about Ryleth anyways?! That’s where our problems are coming from! So if I get rid of Ryleth…” She says, as she forms a super massive portal in the distance, over where Ryleth is currently resting…
“What are you doing?!” Sirius screams, as he stares at it… “There’s no limit to my range, child! I’ll crush it with the might of Ordin’s Comet!” She shouts, causing the realization to dawn on us…
Demi - “Sirius, throw me! I’ll save Ryleth, you deal with her!”
He turns around and looks at me, as I attach a thread to his open palm, and reel myself in. “What?!” He shouts, as the portal continues to float there… “There’s no time, just trust me! Towards Ryleth!” I shout through IDM, causing him to simply shrug and nod.
“Ya’ got it! I believe in ya’, Demi! Save Ryleth!” He shouts, as he throws me with all his strength!
I land in the ocean, building my mass quickly as I rush towards it. I form myself at my largest size around the city, thankfully held together by the kingdom of Ryleth itself, and the ocean surrounding me…
Well, I WAS planning on trying this, but I never thought it would be under such dire circumstances…
I press my weight against the ocean, and lift Ryleth!!! I feel the kingdom begin to shake, as it begins to raise off the hole it once rested in… Pillars that once helped hold it are torn from the ocean floor, as the bottom begins to raise barely above the height of the oceanic mountains surrounding it…
I look up, I see it… Just barely, but I can see it… I’m not fast enough, I can’t save Ryleth…
No, I have to move! And so I do, rushing Ryleth through the ocean, hopefully out of the way of the Comet! I don’t care, I won’t ever give up again!!!
“Demitallis? What are you doing? Why is my kingdom shaking?”
It’s the Queen of Ryleth, she’s speaking to me through telepathy...
Demi - “There’s a Comet, I’m moving Ryleth itself out of its path! I don’t know if I’ll be fast enough though… I’m sorry…”
Queen of Ryleth - “Ah- So that’s what I saw- Alright, I’ll see what I can do, you just focus on protecting Ryleth.”
What?!
-√F-
I slam my fist into her, now the only noise in the silent streets of the evacuated area… She laughs, as she stares down at me… “Sorry kid, but you’re dealing with some’n a little too far out of your league… But really… Did you seriously think I wasn’t a threat, because I can’t lift an island over my head?” She says, pissing me off all the more!
I grab her arm, slamming her against the floor, trying to close the portal before the comet arrives! “You’re too late, you idiot!” She shouts, pointing at- Oh my god…
I stare helplessly as the comet descends from orbit… There’s nothing even I could do against that thing, let alone Demitallis… I hear a light thud hit the ground, and I spin around to see Solasara lying there, laughing…
“Why?! What does this achieve?!” I shout, as I turn around to face her, thinking about the home I never even got to know… “Why do you even care? You were just told to take back Ryleth, by your father… What was his name? Pollux? Never knew him personally, but he was pretty famous in the underworld.” She says, as she begins to sit up. “Not to mention all of the complaining Fallengrar would spout in front of me. Seriously, you have no idea how much he got under Fall’s skin.” She says, making me realize that she must know Ryleth better than I do…
Why DO I care?... I was just what my dad wanted… Did I ever want anything? Or did I never get a chance to find out?
“Come with me kid, we could use your help. And with your strength, I bet some day you could even beat Skall!” She says, as I turn around to see her hold her hand out… “No, I-” I try to say, but she quickly shrugs, and interrupts me. “Well, that’s too bad... Since you don’t have Demitallis around to tell you where the portals are coming from…” I quickly look around, trying to spot it...
“Sirius, above you!” A voice rings out, and I dash to the right, barely avoiding another portal… I look over to spot the Queen of Ryleth… “What the hell?!” Solasara shouts from behind me… “How did you get here?! How can you predict my fucking portals?!” Solasara says, as she throws another portal at the Queen…
The Queen easily dodges it, and makes a silly pose… “Ha, nice try kid!” She calls out, not taking anything seriously… “Oh, you predict that one too?!” Solasara shouts, as we stare at the Queen… “Nope! Just kinda’ moved outta’ the way!” She says, giving her a simple thumbs up and smile…
“This is why I hate you!” I shout, causing her to laugh… “Calm down Sirius, I hate that woman more than anyone!” She says, surprising me… “Oh…” Solasara says, remembering something? “What’am I not gettin’ here?” I ask, causing them to look at me in realization…
“She hit my kid.” The Queen cheerily says, as she slowly approaches… “Hey, I just do the job, no hard feelings.” Solasara says, not noticing the Queen’s hand reel back… She slaps Solasara across the face- “Don’t you ever touch my kid again!!!” She screams, the angriest I’ve ever seen someone…
“You bitch!” Solasara shouts as she holds her cheek, and summons a portal- But the queen grabs her- “You think I haven’t thought of this?!” Solasara says mockingly, as she grabs her hand, and her shirt begins to tear- I grab them with Tentacles, and pull the queen out of the portal…
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
“S-Space…” She slowly says, as she sits there, gasping for air… “Did this to me earlier too, just breathe, you’ll be fine.” I say, as I kick Solasara into the next building- “Thank you…” She says, as she holds her hand out for me to help her up…
“No, I-” She just looks up at me, her eyes narrow. “Listen, Sirius. We have to take down HER, or there won’t BE a Ryleth for you to inherit.” I begrudgingly accept, and help her up. “Fine, but only’fer now. And I want that associative protection, for everyone that was workin’ for me!” She nods and agrees, as Solasara emerges from the rubble.
“Careful now, I’ll keep an eye out for those portals.” She says, but none seem to appear. “How do you keep predicting my portals?!” Solasara asks, as she holds her side while limping on her leg… I really regret doing that to her leg…
“Special ancient queen powers, bitch!” The Queen shouts, surprising me. “You mean’mah Grandmother?” I ask, just to make sure- “Yeah, she came to me in a dream. Couldn’t believe it. Kinda’ puts the whole quest to find proof to rest too. Well, for me specifically. I’m sure I can pull some strings for you, and convince the others.” She says, as Solasara stares at her in confusion…
I guess if my grandmother- Regelask- is fine with her?… Demistar told me a lot about Regelask, and the powers she had, that she then passed on to her daughter. And what she did to the Megas...
“How the hell does that work?” Solasara asks, but the queen just shrugs. “I dunno’!” She says, smiling like an idiot… “That’s, I’m done here…” Solasara says, before opening another portal-” Oh no you don’t! I grab her with a tentacle, and slam her to the floor- “You’ll pay for what you’ve wrought!” I say, as I walk up to her…
“Wait- Look- It’s the ancients…” The Queen says, as I look over to see the moving head of one of the ancients- A portal suddenly moves us to the edge of the island… “What’s going on?...” Solasara says, as the three ancients stare at the Comet…
“You’re kidding me…” She says, as we begin to realize what’s happening… The ancients fire lasers of unrivaled power at the comet, slowly melting it! “That’s not… That’s not fair!” Solasara shouts, as she holds her hands to her head- I slam my fist into her side! “Throwing a comet at my home isn’t fair either!” I shout, as she’s sent flying into a building!
-√A-
“Hear our call, Child… You who are blinded by your future, by your destiny… ”
“Seek power, for we have seen beyond the crucible. Now hear its call to you, where all creation lies dormant.”
“Your paths, endless in their quantity and potential, leave you no sanctum. Strife lies ahead, so grow endlessly, this is our gift to you, who has transcended space and time.”
“Give Ordin our regards…”
Charlotte, are you there?
You too, huh? What should we do?
Suddenly, three great beams of energy pass over the ocean surface, all converging on the Comet… I have to move! I rush further on, faster than I ever have! Carrying this precious kingdom on my back, as I silently thank whoever the hell decided to slow down the Comet…
Charlotte’s asleep, I’ll just have to do everything for her, until she awakens…
No, I’m here, I just- I don’t know, I conked out for a moment…
Oh thank the lord, I can get back to what I do-
What do you do, again?
Not now!
Let’s go! We get past the first mountain, but I can still see the Comet overhead, and from the angle of the portal, it’s coming straight down… Will it land, or will it be destroyed before it even gets close? I can’t risk that, I have to protect Ryleth.
“Demi, what the hell is happening?!” Steriya suddenly asks, as she floats next to me… “And are you carrying the Kingdom itself?!” She asks, as she looks up and down the kingdom
Demi - “The Comet, it’ll strike soon, something’s slowing it down. I don’t know what it is though. I’m moving Ryleth, this is the only idea I had, to save it from the Ordin’s Comet.”
Steriya teleports away, then back. “I’ll see what I can do to help slow it down. As for you…” She places her hand on my surface, and I feel a sudden boost in energy! “It’s not much, but it might just get you there. Good luck, I believe in you!” She shouts, giving me all the energy I’m gonna’ need!
-√F-
“Behind you!” I jump and perform a backflip, easily dodging the portal! “Thanks!” I say, as I shorten the distance between me and Solasara-
“Sirius, dodge!!!” The queen suddenly shouts, surprising me- Another portal opens, and a powerful laser bursts forth! I barely manage to dodge, but it utterly destroys the street… “Tsk… I was really hoping that would work…” Solasara says, after closing the portal...
“The ancients?...” I ask, as I turn around to look at a similar beam connecting to the comet…
A girl- Steriya, I believe… Suddenly appears on a building, and holds her open palms to the comet. “Don’t mind me, I just gotta’ slow down this comet-” She says, as the comet suddenly comes to a total stop! I look back at Solasara, and yeah, she’s at a loss for words too.
The shock and awe of such a feat of power is soon lost on her, and the expression on her face soon alters to one of disbelief and rage- “Are you fucking kidding me?!” She shouts, as I run over and punch her in the head! “God dammit!” She holds her hand against her head.
I ran at her- “Stop!” The queen shouts, causing me to stop in place, as a portal opens in front of me. “Oh screw off!” Solasara says, as she backs away. “Die!” She continues, as multiple portals begin to appear around me-
My tentacles burst around me, as lasers fire from the portals, slicing right through the tentacles. More of my tentacles burst from the ground and plunge themselves into the portals- The portals retreat and close, leaving nothing more than scorched and torn tentacles.
I dash forward, and throw my fist at her again. She blocks my attack, surprising me with her strength- “Give up kid.” She says, before kicking me in the gut. I cough, the wind being kicked right out of me… One of my tentacles slams into her, crushing her body under it.
She lifts it, kind of surprising me with the fact that she can even move, especially with the broken leg… “Why won’t ya’ just give up?!” I shout, as I punch her again, throwing her into ANOTHER building. “Never!” She shouts, as she stands up from the rubble…
“Behind you!” The Queen shouts, causing me to jump over another portal- I plunge a tentacle into it, trying to crush whatever is firing those lasers, but no, it just slams into it, like hitting a brick wall… I guess I’d have to attack through the other side…
The portal closed well after I tried that of course, so I’ll just have to continue fighting until I get another chance. “She’s over there!” The queen shouts, pointing at Solasara’s location, the mercenary now holding a large rifle. I barely manage to dodge before she fires!
The bullet flies past my cheek, cutting it… Yeah, that definitely would have killed me… She loads in another large, powerful looking bullet, and a portal appears in front of her- Don’t need a premonition to tell where this is going!
I dash forward, hiding myself under the building she’s standing on, shaking it! I bolt upwards, hitting her with a sharp uppercut! “Dammit!” She shouts, as she rubs the bottom of her chin, on her back.
I move towards her again, but she kicks me in the chest, sending me off the building. I grab her with tentacles, and slam her on the ground behind me, as I pick myself up. I run towards her in that same motion, as my tentacles move out of my way, allowing me to grab her again, and slam her into the ground.
I feel the crater form around me, under my great strength… She begins to stand up... I grab and slam her into the ground again! I continue to do so, until she finally stops moving, my arm exhausted… “I don’t think she’s going to give up, Sirius…” The Queen says, for the first time, the smile removed from her face…
“You’re right…” I’ve killed before. I can do it again. I don’t like doing it, but it’s for Ryleth… It’s for Ryleth… “What are you waiting for? You can’t be getting cold feat on me NOW, not after what you’ve done all that time ago, not after what your FATHER’S done.” She says, as she approaches- Suddenly though, without warning, her eyes widen…
I look back, and Solasara is gone- I let her get away… “Enough!!!” She suddenly shouts, on another roof, her body broken and beaten… “I’ll drop the heavens on you if I have to!!!” She shouts, as hundreds of portals begin to form in the air…
“There’s no way she has enough mana to do that… So how?...” The Queen asks, as I look around at the hundreds of thousands of portals in the distance… Her focus has been destroyed, I don’t think she even knows where she’s aiming anymore…
Blood begins to flow from her eyes, while reality seemingly warps around her… She disappears again, taking part of the building with her. The Queen runs off- “This way, come on!” She says, as we run towards where I assume Solasara is…
We rush forward, down streets, past houses, and butterflies. The Queen has a nervous look on her face, as though she’s uncertain of something- “What’s wrong?” I ask, still kind of surprised to see her without that smile for once… “I think you might have blinded her, Sirius… That’s why she can’t aim her portals correctly anymore…” She says, surprising me…
I never thought of that… “Listen, now that she can’t hurt anyone with her portals anymore, you don’t have to kill her. But if things continue as they are now, she’s going to get HERSELF killed, we need to stop her.”
“But why?! She tried to kill ya’, AND yer’ kid! She tried ta’ use me!” I ask, but she shakes her head… “It’s not my place to decide whether she lives or dies. And currently, she’s a person in need, I’m helping her.” She says, as we finally find Solasara…
Her leg is still broken, and one of her arms seems to have been contorted from whatever the hell she is doing… “Just die! Just die dammit! I’ll destroy you all if I have to!!!” Reality seemingly warps around her again, and her leg begins to twist!
The Queen, before I can even think to act, strikes Solasara in the head, saving the woman’s leg… “You need to stop! You’ve done enough! Just leave you idiot!” She says, but Solasara can’t seem to hear her…
Instead, Solasara roars in anger, and grabs her- “I’ll kill you!!!” She shouts, as she grabs the Queen- Anything loosely hanging on their bodies begin to float, soon followed by themselves… “What are you doing?!” The Queen says, as she looks around, while the portals begin to disappear…
“I’m not done yet!” Solasara shouts, as massive waves of energy rips from her body- Reality warps one last time, and opens like a vortex that swallows them both whole…
The portals are gone… Demitallis’s brothers and sisters begin to emerge from the distance, obviously having kept their distance… The buildings are mangled and distorted… The roads are unrecognizable… I’m gonna’ have some apologies to make…
“Yo! Sirius!” Veytatasm suddenly shouts, landing next to me… “What? You couldn’t’ve saved some bad guy for me to fight? Don’t worry, Glant’s on his way now. We’ll get you patched up right away.” She says, as she helps me up…
“O-Okay… How about the Comet?” I ask, and she looks over in the distance, where I came from… “It fell a while ago, and so did Steriya. Well, she conked out a while ago. We’ll just have to have hope that Demitallis was able to get Ryleth out of there in time…” She says, as I notice her brother approaching…
“But what happened to that woman, and the Queen of Ryleth?” She asks, as she looks at the terribly warped area where they disappeared… “I don’t know… I think they might have died…” Steriya suddenly appears next to us, exhausted herself… “That thing was so heavy… Where’s the Queen at?” She asks, but I simply point at the area they disappeared…
A butterfly floats past my head, and lands on the weird formation of road that’s sticking out… “Oh my god…” Steriya says, as she covers her mouth… “What’s wrong?” I ask, as she walks over and a glass container appears in her hand. “Nobody move, it’s a Monochromatic Phantom Lacewing… It’s one of the deadliest creatures in the world.” She says, surprising me.
I look at Veytatasm and Glantinazor for answers, but they just shrug. Steriya closes the jar around the Butterfly, and teleports it away. “What was that thing?” I ask, as Steriya turns around to look at me. “I don’t know what happened, but it came to kill someone.”
She stops in front of me- “They’re like little unstoppable assassins in the form of unassuming butterflies.” She continues, as Glant finishes healing me. “Come on Veyta, let’s get back to training.” He says, before they walk off.
“I see… I’ve got no idea what it’s doin’ here… But thanks fer’ capturin’ it, I guess.” I say, as I stand up with her. “They hunt down people who've gone through some sort of mental breakdown? I’m not really sure myself.” She says, and I consider it…
Neither of those two seemed like they were perfect examples of mental health, but I can’t imagine either of them having it that bad…
The container appears in her hands again, and she shows me the Butterfly. “Here it is, I think it might be resting.” She says, as it stands there, stock still…
“Is Ryleth safe?” I ask, surprising her… She nods, and sets the container down… “Yeah, Ryleth is fine. You can relax big man, I’ll go get your girlfriend.” She says, as I begin to pass out-
Wait a minute-
-√A-
The comet crashes a ways away behind me, and I mentally sigh in relief… I find a safe spot to rest the Kingdom, and place it there… I move my essence around, and float over to where the comet fell, to find a giant nucleus of icy crystal…
So this is Ordin’s comet… I hope everyone’s okay… I float over to the Nucleus, and begin digging a large hole in it. After a moment, I return Ryleth to its new resting spot, atop Ordin’s Comet. I hope they’ll forgive me, I can’t imagine the amount of damage I must have caused to the interior…
Maybe with this, it might sway their vote…
Steriya appears next to me, and sighs in relief… “Man, you nearly gave me a heart attack, girl. I was looking for you everywhere- Is that Ordin’s comet?” She asks, as she looks down and spots Ryleth sticking out of it.
Demi - “Yeah. See, I’m really worried that I might have wrecked the interior of Ryleth… I mean, this thing was BUILT to sustain again Puddle Kid attacks, but I picked it up, and SWAM with it. So yeah, I’m hoping that if I leave it on top of Ordin’s Comet, as a neat new resting spot, they’ll forgive me.”
She slowly nods, and teleports away. “Yeah, I just looked at a couple buildings. Ryleth’s been trashed internally. Like, most structures are fine, even the Royal Crypt, but you did a friggin’ number on anything that wasn’t bolted down.” She says, as I pull my Essence in.
Demi - “Just teleport me home…”
She nods, and I’m teleported next to an unconscious Sirius Maelstrom Bask, with my sister Celest sitting there to I assume keep an eye on him. “Oh, hey Demi. Hi, Steriya.” She says, as she sits there and looks at us.
Demi - “Hey. Is everything okay up he-”
I’m cut short, as I look at the path of destruction, and the weird statue in the middle of this street… “Right, this was the result of Sirius and Solasara’s battle. Nobody knows what happened to her and The Queen though…” Steriya says, as she looks around with me…
Demi - “You’re kidding me… First a Comet, now this… Do you think they’re okay?”
Steriya shakes her head, as Sirius begins to awaken. “Sirius, do you think they’re dead?” Steriya asks, as he rubs his head… “I dunno’… They got swallowed by some sort’a Vortex… I’ve got no idea what could’a happened to’em…” He says, as Celest helps him up.
Demi - “You go rest, Sirius. I’ll see if I can get Demistar down here to help rebuild. What about you, Steriya?”
“I’ll try and find the evacuated Citizens, and tell them they can return.” She says, as she teleports away. “For the future of Ryleth, it might be best to assume that the Queen is dead...” He says as he gathers his bearings.
Demi - “What’s the Princess gonna’ think?”
“I don’t know… I remember when MY parents died, hit me hard… But I’was predisposed’n prepared to deal with it… I dunno’ how Princess Stallatia will take it…” He says, as he thinks to himself… “Where is she?” He asks, surprising me.
Demi - “I don’t know- Uh oh… I think she and Kass might have went to hunt down Fallengrar…”
“Are ya’ serious?!”
Demi - “N-No- But you-”
“That’s not funny! Why didn’t’cha stop’em! Now Ryleth’s got no ruler!” He shouts, not noticing his voice shake the ground… “Stop!!! It’s not her fault! We just need to go help them.” Celest says, after slapping him on the face.
He raises his hand, but she just glares at him, and he stands down… “Sorry…” He says, as he looks away. “Come on, you’ve never really even cared about Ryleth anyways. Stop letting your dad define who you are. Now come on, let’s go home.” She says, and he simply nods.
Wow, she can really reign him in. I better get going, I don’t know how long they’ve been gone for… Since Solasara is out of the way, then they should be that much more safe… I hope…
I better get going...
End of Chapter: 32√AF “Skyfall!”
Thank you for reading.
“Are you okay?”
“I think so… But who are you?”
“I dunno'... How'bout you?”
