You are in a dark place. All you can here is ticking for a long, long while.

Then a bright light, a pure white crystal, taller than the dorms itself, appears in front of you. It's voice echoes in your mind.

Hear.... Feel... Think...
A Light there once was that shone throughout this realm... yet it has since grown dim
And as it has faltered so has the Darkness risen up in its stead, presaging an end to life.
For the sake of us all, I beseech thee deliver us from this fate.
If thou would pierce the shadows... make thee a blade of light.
Hold onto it, child.
Return His Dark servants to your realm.
But beware, ever is He trying to grow his power. Do not get caught.

And the light vanishes you find yourself with a crystal in your hand.

Though you are again left in in Darkness before you find yourself in a vast city standing in front of a large teleportation device.

Objectives (if your character can translate Hydaelyn vagueness):
1) Convince both Ascians to leave
2) Don't get tempered :) (or killed if you don't like mind control)

Additionally you may choose EITHER canon or OR imeeji powers to be active. You can wait to decide until you use a power, but once you use a power that powerset is locked in as your choice.

Also if people are in the same area as you feel free to mingle. It is in fact encouraged. Also your phones work only to text and take pictures (basically for the purpose of communicating in case you are in different spots).

"Yes... Well I believe you saw for yourself. The fear robs some of their control of their Creation magic. The unchecked powers of creation bent to such a destructive emotion as fear--monsters begetting more monsters… I have seen the cities so beset. The creature you fought is one such anomalous Creation."

He gestures to the empty tank and dead monster.

"There was something wrong with that specimen. Something tainted in its birth. If you could not sense it I cannot well explain it, but the existence of innumerable creatures of its ilk is poisoning the land, the air, the waters--across the sea there are zones it is now toxic to enter without due precaution, and the dangers of wandering even while protected are great."

Would finding and destroying these creatures do anything?

"No. They are merely a symptom, not the root of the disease. The Sound you heard is the cause of the fear."

Tell me about that. What do you know of it?

"We are still investigating the cause of the Sound. Frustratingly, its origin yet eludes us, and daily it seems new areas of the star are affected--but I get ahead of myself. It originated across the sea. When we went to investigate the cause and the disasters, I can only say…. I have never witnessed such horrors. My best surmise is that the terror it wreaks upon the heart causes an individual’s fears to manifest--and in the same instant robs one of all control of creation, letting loose the foulest manifestations of dread. Whatever the reason for this calamity, we must prevent its spread at all costs, for to fail to do so will surely be the ruin of this star."

...I see.

Tell me, you believe you've graduated and come home, I suppose? Why come back to this time, why not wish for the proper return of your home, without calamity? Or why not at least give yourself enough time to properly prevent it, before things have come to this point?

"Because this is the best solution. As much as I do wish it were possible to do otherwise, coming back here, before it is too late, we can truly make things right. And we have had time. It is a bit close but we are nearly ready."

Sorry he's like this.

And yet a great many have already suffered. That doesn't make sense to me.

[But he doesn't have much else to argue with right now...!! So he just scoffs.]

Where's our residence?

He gives a location! It probably doesn't mean much.

[Well he'll try to go there shortly at least.]

A few more things. I was given this when I arrived.

[The crystal, which he offers up.]

And I'm told Zodiark exists under the city, currently?

Some shit is happening.

Lahabrea takes the crystal with a slight smile, holding it in his hands.

"Ah, yes. A moment."

A sigil glows in front of his mask, red and bright, and the crystal transforms, a single stone in a choker necklace, which he offers back to you.

"Do take care of it. And He is--will be."

[Choosing no thank you very much!!

Hm can't wear that in demon form. unless - he takes it and fastens it around his tail. Perfect.]

What do you mean will be?

Cute. He smiles.

"We are preparing for his summoning. It will be soon."

[He's also looking around a bit, as people seem to simply...not exist anymore? Hm.]

How long?

"Quite soon now."

Hm. Call for me when it's just around the corner.

[He transforms back, actually. Because it's very difficult to kiss Lahabrea when he's just teeth.]

In fact, if you think of anything for me to do at all. For now, I suppose I'm best used looking for monsters.

[And then it's back to demon form, and he's heading back to the main aetherite.]

Oh. He gets kissed back, tenderly, but Lahabrea doesn't try to keep him.

"Do be careful. They should not be many here, but... Well. Good luck."

[Wait one more word before he goes-]

I absolutely won't be.

[A Sparda is not careful, that's impossible.]

He sighs, but it is fondly.

To the main atheryte.
