The Will to Fight: Conclusion

[voidtreckermods]

The battles rage loud and ferocious at the gates of the city and off in the ruined wastelands of Erda, and on the walls a struggle of a different kind occurs. The team who stayed behind at the towers are small but determined as they move stoically across the walls to right the stones that have become misaligned, even as their friends battle not too far away.

The city begins to hum. It's a quiet hum, not loud enough to be heard out where the others are fighting but it vibrates even through stone. The recovering monks assure them that it is done, the wards are back up and no demon will be able to enter the city.

Eventually the battle is won, all three battles. The demons fought back and killed, a major blow to their gate system that will keep them back for hopefully a long time. Those waiting in the caverns return to the city and by the time they get there the illusions are gone. Everyone can see the world for what it really is.

But despite the ruins of their world the people are relieved, the adrenaline of the fight coursing through their veins and the mood is one of hope. They will build again, their people will survive.

All Voidtreckers please return to the Voidtrecker Express. Departure will be in a few hours

It has landed not too far from the city, cloaked to make it unnoticeable to the citizens, for all the good that does. No one has been particularly subtle this last week. People can begin regrouping, packing up the camp and getting any wounded not already healed to the train.

However roughly half an hour later another message appears on their SCA.

Passenger Persephone has requested we remain on system System #86525656412355 for an additional day to further assist the people of Erda. The Voidtrecker Express will depart on the morning of Day Fifteen of the month of Kazoo.

The train remains where it is, so the voidtreckers can use its facilities. There is definitely a lot that can be done to assist those of this world and the citizens will welcome any helping hands.

After an extra day they finally depart, returning to the void once more.

(OOC Note: Once the wards are up any characters who are demonic in nature will not be able to enter the city either!)

He sunk into the water a little bit more. "Were you, you know, successful on the mission? Or I guess, were you okay?" That was probably the more normal question.

Demyx would sleep later, but for now he was just relaxing.

[adropofsunlight]

"I was okay. I mean I didn't really do a whole lot compared to everyone else." Which she felt honestly bad about. She could have done a lot more but didn't.

[melodiouspacifist]

"I'm not sure we're being graded or whatever. I don't know. No one told me if we were." Demyx commented.

"So you probably did plenty."

[adropofsunlight]

"We don't, but I always compare anyway" Which probably wasn't the greatest idea in the world.

"The only thing I did was move people."

[melodiouspacifist]

"Well, I mean, what I could tell anyway, is that those people needed to be moved to save them." Demyx observed. "So that's probably a good thing."

[adropofsunlight]

"They did. There were cave-ins in some places and such. Though it was someone else who actually helped us get through such things."

No matter how many time she saw it she will always be amazed.

[melodiouspacifist]

"Really?" Demyx asked, tilting his head a bit. "What did they do to do that? Was it magic or something?"

He was mostly just curious, and didn't see why he couldn't ask.

[adropofsunlight]

"It was an ability they have. I wouldn't call it magic." It was hard to say what exactly it was really. But it was still cool either way.

"But it was something that really helped."

[melodiouspacifist]

"It sounds like magic to me!" Demyx commented, but he couldn't be sure. He hadn't considered non-magic abilities.

[adropofsunlight]

"I think with magic you have to use words right?" She considered hers magic because she has to sing lines, but really doe doesn't actually know much about magic in general.

This was an interesting learning experience.

[melodiouspacifist]

"I don't think so." Demyx shook his head. "I don't say words to use my magic."

He drew some water up out of the spa into a little ball, playing with it a bit.

[adropofsunlight]

She watched carefully. So would it be the same thing then or was magic and abilities just a lot more complex than what she was expecting. It seemed to be the case anyway.

"I guess magic just comes in many ways."
