Welcome to Gaia! ::

Flame Child of Ice Dragons

Roy's wounds were treated with the help of his friend, the barkeep, back in Pentheus. He then headed back to Eyris, where he had prepared a 'Welcome Home' meal of sorts for his mother.

He had asked how the final battle had went. While he was surprised to hear that Ninian had defeated a dragon, he was sad to hear that the hallucinations were nothing more than hallucinations. His father wasn't in Sentria, like he had expected. With no new leads, he decided to stay awhile with his mother, Uncle, and soon-to-be-Uncle-in-Law. Nowadays, the young lord can be seen eating delicious chocolate cake with chocolate icing at the Hostess Cafe, flirting with the girls (both guild members and non-guild members), or in the company of his family.

The SoS, with its last condition point still safe, was stored away for good. The day he would find his way back into Elibe would be the day the sword would be seen.

Deep in the woods of Learania, hidden deep in the trees, a young woman lay collapsed beside a small stream. Her dress was torn, remnants of a sheer white material clinging to the band around her shoulders, the bottom of the dress frayed, completely absent from her knees down, revealing bruised and bleeding feet. Her arms, too, were bare, only the worn fabric around her shoulders providing and cover. Her light blue hair was matted, twigs and leaves caught in the tangles. What was left of the white ribbons adorning her head held on to the circlet she wore. Around her neck hung a silver locket, and she wore four rings on her fingers. Her skin, where it was not bleeding or bruised, was pale, almost white. In one hand, she held a long sash or scarf, the colors never the same for more than a moment. The scarf alone was intact, clashing with the woman's disheveled appearance.

Her eyelids fluttered as she drifted in and out of consciousness, though one eye was swollen shut, the blood from a wound above it turning her hair a sickly color. The wind blew through the trees, rustling the leaves and bending the tree branches. The sky darkened as black clouds rolled in, bringing a heavy downpour that quickly soaked everything. The rain roused the woman, the cold jolting her awake.

Slowly she crawled underneath a nearby tree, the branches providing her with come cover. She shivered, clutching the scarf tight around her shoulders. It did little to warm her. She had never been this cold, or this numb. And everything was so dark. . . .

Suddenly, it was warm. Someone else was there, holding her? No, carrying her. They were moving. Not running--flying perhaps? her eyes refused to open; she could not see who it was, and her mouth would not open for her to say something, anything, to the person.

Something told her that she was safe now, whether a voice inside her or the person speaking, she did not know. She faded into unconsciousness once more. For the first time in a long time, she slept, and did not wake up screaming. The nightmares did not plague her that night. The dancer would awaken a few weeks later to find herself in the Eyris infirmary, still healing from wounds she could not remember getting. The last thing she could remember was running away from the man in the fire, and one other thing--the feeling of flight and the image of wings.

Amelia: Missing in Action
Amelia returned from her honeymoon with Rhys a week late, thanks to a sudden blizzard up in the Estarcian mountains that had delayed their trip back to Eyris. Confronted by a sudden change in power in the Crew and a general state of "What the ********" from all the townspeople, Amelia could only wonder what the hell she had missed while she was busy banging her husband.

Annis
Because Annis spent most of the event asleep on Loch's couch (not sleeping with him--he'd be too panicky to touch so much as her pinky finger for fear of acting improper), she doesn't get an ending. Or even a title.

Blossom: Time Heals All Wounds
The little Hero refused to speak of her experiences within the portal where Razevi's tower used to stand, but there was a certain sense of mourning about her for the next few days as she cleaned Vezra's blade, placed it on its holding stand against the wall, and otherwise tended to the needs that had long been ignored. She was unusually quiet, and she often found herself staring at the empty side of her bed, but soon she was smiling just as before. And who knew, maybe Chickenwire and Clang would get used to her dragging Vika along with her to accompany Blossom for her training sessions.

Rhys: Likewise confronted with the same bizarre mood as Amelia, except while Amelia could only wonder, he found himself clearing up a number of nonfatal injuries incurred during the great jailbreak. Ah, well. He was in love, and he got laid. The only thing he could have asked for to make his honeymoon any better was that people stop getting injured, darn it!

Javert: Did not appear in this film (coming soon to a theater near you).

Ghis: Same, although he and the Watch did their part in stopping the Arkham Pandemic. Just... they weren't visible in their business.

Jin: He did a decent job of keeping the hospital in shape while Rhys was gone, but otherwise did nothing important.

Charice: "They say that life is hard, and times are tough. But I learned something from this trip... nothing you receive in life is free. Strange as it may sound, it's that price tag that makes life worth living."

Katherine: "Death is what you believe it to be, what you want it to be. The question is, what do I want it to be?" ...Charice doesn't know whether Katherine "moved on" or remains there still. Is unlikely to appear in any future events... OR COULD SHE!? DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN...

(SPECIAL EDITION ALTERNATE ENDINGS THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT YOU TO SEE:

Rhys--Died in the blizzard since at the time, he was having sex with his wife as he was skiing down the mountain. People said of him: "He lived as few men dared to dream". Amelia is currently building a time machine so as to go back in time to stop this incident and would unwittingly save Lavos from the Chrono Trigger protagonists, dooming Learania and the Continent from the Day of Lavos onward.

Ghis--Died because he went sober. His liver, not knowing what to do with its free time all of a sudden, committed seppuku.

Jin--Died in the Arkham Pandemic when a thousand ninja wannabe escapees attacked him. He took out 133.7 of them, but the ninja wannabes were too many.

Charice--Died a virgin. Spends her days playing chess with Katherine. She usually loses.

Javert--Died in the next event, when a tree fell on top of him. Rhys and Rhys' OCs were relatively unimpressed until they learned that Javert had actually been fighting that tree with his bare hands. He was winning and had delivered the KO punch, but forgot to get out of the way as it fell over. Hey, it happens to the best of us.

Katherine: "Katherine became a Reaper in Eyris' Game. She works hard under her master and idol, Sho Minamimoto. She can be found creating trash heaps of disposed organic material, and according to Sho's comments, 'The radians don't add up, but it's intriguing.'" ~Excerpt from Amelia)

Lethe: Gallia's Valkyrie
Convinced the lion she saw in the desert was a mirage(a really really good one), Lethe returned to Eyris with her twin sister. While Lyre was at her beorc job, the older cat laguz left the city gates to train. Being alone gave her some time to think. She began to question her loyalty to her new homeland. Her longing to return to Tellius grew stronger with each training session.

Aruna: Waitress Turned Nurse
(Will get a proper ending when her creator isn't so lazy but in the mean time)
Aruna nursed Ganon back to health and spent the winter time having awesome snake sex.


Cactus: Figment of Lance's Imagination
Cactus watched Lance walk around the desert in circles. And it was funny.

All had returned to normal. The Guard, and all those who had gone to the desert had returned. And the girl who was kidnapped was with them. Rath was disappointed upon hearing the report that Razevi was indeed involved, and that she had gotten away. He was even more shocked to hear about the happenings with Soren, and some person called 'Neros'. ...The man was once the head researcher of the door, and now he had caused so much chaos. It was a shame to learn about it.

After having welcomed the Guard and the tactician back to Learania, Rath had gone back to his office, to continue working on matters concerning the psychotic ones who had broken out of their asylum. Several were dead, but some had not yet been recovered. He also had to make due without having Tibarn around anymore.

While he worked, there was a sudden knock on his door. Finally, somebody was actually knocking. He spoke up, giving whoever it was permission to come in, as he set down his quill, and looked up.

"Well.. here I am." a dark-skinned woman said, as she trailed in, and stood before the desk. "I guess I gotta come to ya, eventually."

Rath looked at a her for a moment, before beginning to search through his documents. "...Oh, yes. Our deal." He pulled out one of his papers, looked over it, then held it out. "Here you are. A discharge from the Guard."

Deborah looked at it, then glanced up at Rath. Her expression was one of confusion. "...Dats it? No hassal?"

Rath tilted his head a little, feigning that he perfectly understood her skepticism. "... ...Do you not want it?"

"Ya just givin it tah me. Just like dat. No strings attached."
"Of course."
"..."
"...Aren't you going to take it?"

The halberdier held out her hand to take the paper, but stopped, then clenched her hand shut. "Ya know... Why don't ya... hold onto dat, for a while." Rath raised an eyebrow at this. "I tink I'll stay on a while. Deh soldiers are too weak! Dey need tah get wit it. It wouldant be right tah just leave, while dey in such sorry shape." Deborah folded her arms, and gave an obstinate expression, as if insisting on that being her reason, and that anything else was absurd.

Rath smiled lightly, and pulled the document back. "I see..." He looked down at the paper, then tore it in half. "...In that case... glad to have you with us."

Deborah watched the paper be torn in half, then turned her body around, quickly, to leave. However, she remembered something, so she turned back, and took out a most curious item from her pouch. Its shape was odd, the design most peculiar. It was almost key-like. When Rath saw the item, his eyes lit up, but he kept his composure. "Oh, here. I almost forgot." The halberdier said, before she tossed the item over to Rath, who caught it in the air, with one hand. "I know from when we were in Mordache dat ya were interested in dese items. I thought ya might want dis one. Oddly enough, I found it in a bandit fort."

Rath looked over the item, and knew exactly what it was. It was the same type of key that he had discovered in Mordache. After examining the find, he looked up at Deborah, a hint of concern in his eyes. Upon seeing this, the halberdier smirked. "Don't worry. I don't know why ya so interested in dese keys, nor do I know what dey're for. Frankly, I really don't care. I just though ya'd want it."

Seeing that he answer had satisfied the vice captain, she turned back around and headed for the door. On her way to it, she pulled out the red gem she had found in the sand and flicked it into the air, catching it as it came back down. "Now if ya'll excuse me... I tink I got some treasure tah sell." She put the gem back into her pouch, which clanked upon the other gems she had taken from Feo's bandit fort. Deborah then left the office, with a smile on her face. And Rath was smiling, too. It seemed the mission had made a difference on the woman, after all.

Just as planned.

----------

Rath - Nomadic Politician
Though the mission had brought everybody back home safely, Rath was still greatly troubled by the resurrection of Razevi, and started researching to learn all he could about the woman. His determination to keep Learania safe remains unyielding.

Deborah - Kaftian Warrior
Having declined her discharge, she ironically began to step up in the ranks of the Guard, and started training the soldiers, rigorously. When asked why she made this decision, all she said was that she never wanted to battle alongside idiots, again.

Abel - Simple-minded Hero
And Abel was there. After the final events, Abel had returned home with Alihi and Amara. He wasn't able to stay for long though, as he had to go up to Estarcia, for a few mercenary jobs. However, before he left, he was finally able to work up the courage to show how he really did feel about Alihi.

Fire Dragon - Wielder of Flametongue

After the battle, FD returned back home to recover in the presence of the man he loved for a much more enjoyable recovery, filled with sexual healing. He also got to know his future sister-in-law, Ninian, much better, and spend time with Roy. The Fire Dragon expects a full recovery of his leg in, oh, maybe a little under a month.
