Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 "You were dead," Sophie explained. "But now you're not and we're gonna make it stay that way!" She giggled, hair curling and uncurling around her face in response to her joy.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Xino sat down heavily on a stool that appeared from thin air for that purpose. Aquamarine light streamed off him in tiny wisps. "How?" he managed to get out.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 "I don't know!" Sophie said. She giggled again, blushing, and her hair moved to hide her face because of it, but she batted it away and it continued to swirl pleasantly.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Michael hauled himself over the side of the mountain. "What.. what's happening?" he said breathlessly. "Did we win?"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Sophie nodded emphatically, so happy she was literally glowing. "Yes!" she said. "Yes, yes, yes!"
xinoehp512 he/him Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Michael brightened. "The Witherlord is dead, then?"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Sophie twirled a lock of her hair. "I don't know," she said. "I mean, I don't think so. But... XINO IS ALIVE!" She giggled, jumping up and down. "He was dead and I was really sad, but then Aqua and I did this weird fuse thingy and we turned back time and now Xinoehp is alive!!! Isn't that great, Michael?"
xinoehp512 he/him Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Michael gasped. "Aqua progressed? She actually affirmed the bond?"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 "Yeah, I think so! She's okay, right?" Sophie suddenly realized that she hadn't heard Aqua speak and looked around for her.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 I'm still here, said Aqua quietly in her mind.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 "Oh! Hi, Aqua." Sophie smiled. "See, I didn't kill you, I told you I wouldn't."
xinoehp512 he/him Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 We shall see, said Aqua, trying to make her tone sound hopeful.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 "You'll be okay, Aqua," Sophie offered. "We did it!" ------ Granite could see the top of the mountain. He was only a few feet away from answers.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Michael's face split open in a big grin. "Silence and shadows, Aqua- you did it! Wow!" he laughed. "I can't believe it! If your father could see you now..."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Granite passed the lip of the mountain, then stopped burning steel and threw himself onto the top. Panting, he pulled himself up to see.. "Aunt Sophie?" Sophie looked over toward her nephew. Her eyes widened. "Granite? Oh my Author, what are you doing here?"
xinoehp512 he/him Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Michael turned. "Ah!" he exclaimed. "You must be Granite. Hi!" He held out his hand. "I don't believe we've been introduced. My name's Michael." 1
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Granite took Michael's hand and got up. "Uh, hi," he said. "How do you know me...?"
xinoehp512 he/him Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 "I'm a mime," explained Michael with a smile. "I know lots of things." 1
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Granite paled. What the storms, he thought. He paused, mouth frozen open and looked around. Of the three other people on the mountain top, he only recognized Sophie. He looked back at Michael. What's a mime? he thought. No. Ask about Mom. "Can you tell me about my mom? Please."

Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 There was a happy woman named Star who lived with her husband Marsh. And then both of them got their lives ruined and Marsh killed himself and their children were orphaned. The end.
Jaywalk he/him Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 “That was anticlimactic,” said the children.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 "They lived unhappily ever after, what more do you need to know?" said the Narrator.
Jaywalk he/him Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 “What happened to Star?” asked the children.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 "Her soul split in two because of how anguished she was. I told you, she was unhappy."
