Back and forth. Back and forth. Nothing made sense and yet... There was something important. Something that she knew. She had been a part of something, hadn't she? It had taken a part of her, but it had been for a good cause, hadn't it? It was important. She was a hero.
... Wasn't she?
-- "Who do you think you are?"
The whispered voice tickled her ear and she opened her eyes, glancing around. There was nothing. No one. She was the only one there, and yet...
-- "Look at your shadow."
Swallowing back any semblance of fear or hesitation, Aldara's eyes drifted downward as the voice had directed her, falling upon the form of her shadow. There was something different about the image that was cast upon the ground ahead of her; possibly something with whatever light was shining upon her to throw the shadow forward, or possibly something else. Something more.
As she thought on the matter her shadow began to solidify and she began to think. Maybe... Maybe this shadow on the ground was not hers. Maybe it did not belong to her. It certainly didn't seem like one that she remembered.
Even as those thoughts continued to cross through her mind the shadow continued to grow in size and brightness, the figure clearly armored and holding a great, familiar sword.
"Your have forgotten something. Memories. I borrowed those from you and now you have my word I will return them. You are bound perhaps for greatness. Take these memories and become more than you ever were, greater than you can possible imagine. As long as there are still heroes in this world, as long as someone calls for me, for the need to Protect this world, I will be there."
As the knightly shadow addressed her a lock manifested; basic in shape but ornately detailed upon second glance, connecting several chains together. A gentle, blue glow emanated from the lock, adding an enchanting aura to its overall appearance. It was enough to entice the harpy ghoul into thinking it was something good even if she did not entirely understand it or how it had become a part of her... But it was, and it would be, until she could reclaim all that she had lost; all that had once been hers.
OOC
The Lock
A lock has manifested in your character's form (you can choose where you want to keep the lock. It glows a gentle blue. When your character has regained all their discarded memories (from part 1 of the finale), using the conditions of the above artifact, the lock will finally detach itself, breaking away. The size and shape of the lock depends on the weapon your character carried in the meta (the final weapon). If your weapon was a COMMON weapon, it is the most basic shape. An UNCOMMON weapon has the basic shape and a chain. A RARE weapon has the basic shape, with a few ornate symbols representing the memories you gave away, and several chains around it. Final Weapon Equip
