Myu stared in awe at the jewel that was now in her possession. It was simply beautiful, but she wondered what it was for. Lady Perla said it would be useful someday, so it had to be used in someway. All the while pondering this, Myu began to twist and turn the amulet, looking at it in all directions. She looked at it so closely that you would think that she hoped that it would tell her what it was for. No luck. It was just an enigmatic amulet that teased her whole mind and being.
Though, Myu had to agree with Mag. Lady Perla herself seemed like a mystery. She seemed like a cheerful-type of person, but then she seems to become something different. Lady Perla then becomes a very intelligent...living mystery, a mystery that you yearn to figure out. Though at times, finding out the mystery isn't at all that pleasant, so Myu, too, wished that Lady Perla wouldn't play her mind games. Lady Perla knew so much...and it seemed she basically waved it in front of your face but then pulled it away. Nice. Though, Myu knew that one day she would understand all that Lady Perla has told them.
Nyx too had been pondering though what she was thinking was very different than Myu's thoughts. "So...what do we do now?" Nyx asked out of the blue. It seemed that they had accomplished their goal here, but now they had something new to start. She wondered how everything was going to go into place and turn out...

"Y'know, that's a damn good question," Mag affirmed. "Not like Madame Mysterious gave us any clues either. I suppose we should just wander around and wait for something to happen."
Snow began to come to, shifting slowly on the floor. Eyes still closed, he pushed himself into a sitting position, wincing at the pounding in his head. He carressed the back of his head gently, sending shooting pains into his skull.
"Welcome back to the world of the living, sleepy head," Mag drawled, secretly very glad that he had woken up. He opened his eyes, shaking his head to clear it.
"What happened?" he asked, voice still somewhat dazed. Mag laughed.
"You just had your first flying lesson, birdy boy," she said. "Your score: F minus." Snow groaned, wishing he could lay back down. Instead, he rose to his feet, somewhat unsteadily, almost falling before he caught his balance.
"And the monster?"
"Dead and deader," Mag replied triumphantly. "It collapsed, Lady Perla gave a history lecture and left, and now we're just sitting in a pile of knowledge with nothing to do with it."
"Hmmm..." Snow mused on the possibilities. True, it was good to have plenty of information for later use. Perhaps they should seek out more knowledge before taking any action. That would be the best course, provided that nothing else came up.
"Man, I'm bored of this place! Snow, let's just get out of here," Mag whined, impatient. Snow nodded, acknowledging her request.
"I think we'll go see if we could find more information on Zahdl and guardians. Miss Myu, Miss Nyx, what will you be doing?"

What were they going to do next? That was a good question... Myu didn't think about this when she actually made it here. She hadn't really thought about it at all. She thought that coming here would provide her answers and lead her in the right direction, but all it did was give her facts and no path laid out. What was she going to do? Where was she going to go? She didn't know. Should she too look for more information? But where would she look? Myu simply didn't know, and this whole "not knowing" thing of made her a little angry...It made her feel lost...
"I'm not quite sure..." Myu pondered out loud. She continually racked her brain. She wanted to leave, but...
"Should we stick together? Or..." Nyx asked directing her question at Snow and Mag. They seemed to know what they were doing, and Myu was still pretty small. She thought it would be good to stay together, but...she wasn't sure if Myu wanted to stay around them or even if Snow and Mag wanted them around either. Were they just slowing them down? Were they just a burden? Nyx just quietly pondered these thoughts while justifying her question. She felt that they should be together. Myu had little magic, as did she. They were both Zahdl...and if they were both going to beat this thing, shouldn't they be close by? It seemed like a rational explanation, but Nyx's opinion didn't matter though. It was ultimately Snow, Mag, and Myu's decision...

"At the moment, I believe the best thing would be to relax for a moment and regain our strength, before attempting more heroics," Snow said, sighing. "Speaking frankly, my head feels like it has been put in a vice, and I am rather exhausted from the whole experience." The truth was, he just really wanted to lie down and put an ice bag on the back of his head, and maybe pass out for a few days or more.
"Speaking frankly," Mag said, mimicking Snow's voice, "You look like hell."
"We are going to head home first, in order to regain our strength. It is unwise to rush into a situation without being prepared or at full capacity," Snow said, nodding. "But afterwards, I would like to meet back up with you to search for more information." He smiled gently. "If that would be okay with you, Miss Myu?"

"Now that's a plan!" Nyx chirped happily. She was still unsure about Myu though. Nyx wasn't sure if she would bite the bait. Sure, Myu didn't trust people and what not, but come on. It's good to have allies when you are fighting for the same thing. People you can rely on. People help you grow, which Myu needs to do. Nyx just didn't understand why Myu was like the way she was. It was a quick and sudden change. Why...?
Nyx brushed the thought aside. She figuratively looked to Myu for her response. Nyx felt that Myu might not want to wait. She just seemed to gung-ho when it came to things like this. Myu was logical, but when it came to a battle or things a long those lines, she just seemed to do what she felt was necessary, which sometimes were very rash...and just wrong. Regardless, Myu was still very intelligent. Nyx just wished that she would be...more...No. Never mind. Nyx was just thinking nonsense. Myu was a good person...you just had to chip at her wall. Then...you would see. She's just scared for some reason. Little Myu.
"I believe that is a good idea." Myu said simply with a slight nod of her head. She slightly looked away and closed her eyes. Yes...a good idea...

"I will send you a message as soon as I restart my investigation," Snow said, grateful for their help.
"The post is damn convenient," Mag agreed, thinking of the post office and its decidedly strange mascot and delivery person.
Snow began to turn and walk towards the exit. Then, he stopped for a moment, recalling something.
"Miss Myu, if you are searching for a place to stay, there is an area just on the edge of the plains area that has some empty buildings. You'd have to dust a little, but they can be converted into some good living spaces," he said, wondering where the younger Zahdl was, in fact, staying. He had set up his own little area in one of the complexes, and it was actually quite cozy, or would be when he added a bit more furniture.
"I called it 'the barracks' 'cuz it reminds me of the summer camp barracks I stayed at when I was a little kid," Mag said, laughing fondly at the memory. Snow nodded.
"I hope to see you soon, Miss Myu, Miss Nyx."
And on this final note, he exited the building into the sunlight at last, heading home.

A smile slowly crept on Myu's lips. It lingered there for awhile as she watched Snow leave. Snow...really was a nice person because at this point, she and Nyx were just wanderers. They had no definite place to stay, but now...they had somewhere to go. They had a place that they could call home. Home. This whole feeling was odd to her, and feeling...everything was so...weird. Was she being weak? Was she letting her guard down and cause her just to get hurt? But regardless, Snow had gained her trust...He had helped her so much. Saving her. Telling her a place to stay. He was a person she would be glad to call an ally, for the time being, and fight by his side...to win this thing...not alone but together...Then, they will...leave. Good-bye.
"Thank you..." Myu whispered as she watch Snow began become smaller and smaller until he finally disappeared. She then quickly batted her smile away and began to look at the ground. All this emotion...feeling...it was grotesque. She needed to remember what was most important and that was completing her goal. Emotions...feelings, they will just get in the way. Petty.
Myu then closed her eyes...focusing herself. One can never lose track of oneself, and she felt that all this feeling wasn't her. Focus...Don't get hurt.
"That was nice of them..." Nyx stated simply. She was glad that they would have a place to stay. Now Myu could be cautious of an "attack" while being sheltered. That made Nyx very happy.
"So...are we going?" She continued unsure of Myu's decision to go.
Myu's blank face nodded while she made her way out of the temple leaving everything behind her...

Meanwhile...
"You didn't have to come. I do have everything under control," Perla said, smiling weakly at her guest. Her visitor shrugged, shutting her office door behind her.
"It's not often that you call on that great amount of magic in such a short while," they replied, in a voice obviously male.
"Oh? Were you worried about me?" she teased, laughing slightly.
"I'm just a little suprised you were so careless. Was it truly necessary to allow things to become so out of hand?"
"It wasn't my doing," Perla replied, eyes downcast. She moved over to her desk, perching lightly on the edge, hands gripping it. "Something interefered. I had to be sure that..."
"I understand." He turned to leave, magic opening a path before him. "Just...be careful from now on."
"No problemo!" She saluted his retreating form playfully, smiling brightly. As he vanished from sight, her face fell.
"I can handle myself."
