8th Seal Unlocked

[Action | 3478 Erwin | Morning]

[well well, it seems that today is Dainn's lucky day. a package arrived for him early in the day. seeing that Mayfield had yet to give him something he didn't want (besides clawing his eyes out that one time), the Shadow Immortal went to go get it.

the power he felt return to him cause Dainn to burst out laughing. it was back! his greatest power...oh was he going to have fun with this.]


[Phone | Open | Morning]

It seems we've dug quite deep into the puzzle that is this town! Wonderful...that means there are many choices before us on how to go forward.

[there's a pause and Dainn speaks again. he sounds rather amused.]

Speaking of choices, I have a question for all of you. If you had to choose between killing someone you cared dearly for, like a friend, lover or family member to save your own world, would you do it? Or would you let the world be destroyed?

...oh, and there is no way around it, no third option. That person has to die to keep your world safe. With that in mind would you still do it?

[only one person in all of Mayfield knows that answer. they'd also know that Dainn is leaving something out in that question...]

[Aurica happened to be home that day instead of at school, so she picked up on this question.]

What if, [She considered her words after that pause,] there was a way to make a third option?

[shadow_possession]

There isn't. This is a situation where only one or the other could happen. It's a tough choice, yes, but you have to give up something.

[a_clockwork_melody]

No, I mean, what if there was another way, that neither of us thought of?

[It was something that indeed happened on her world, so it wasn't something she'd back down on, yet.]

[shadow_possession]

Then it should change the outcome of the question. But that would depend on what you decide to do.

[was this going to be another hero type who refused to take either path?]

[a_clockwork_melody]

That's the thing, though. What if that other way allowed for both to be saved?

[No, she wasn't that hero. The hero that saved their world was someone she drew great inspiration from, someone she wanted to be like and believe in.]

[shadow_possession]

If that was an option, would you be ready to face the outcome it may bring? Having two solid options and trying for both can be tricky.

[it's silly...things like that usually ends badly.]

[a_clockwork_melody]

[They can, and usually do, but it didn't matter for the one she adored. He risked his own life many times for her and other people. He continued to do what he felt was right, even if his last gamble could have meant the end for everyone.]

... Yes. The reason we want to do something means more than whatever happens. Even if it means we might lose everything.

[shadow_possession]

[Dainn can't help it. he laughs.]

I hope your ending is worth it. It's impossible to have a completly happy end to every story.
