[Liana POV]
Step...Step...Step...Step...
Step...Step...Step...Step...
As I was moving slowly toward my destination with Cyan we didn't speak...
Only our footsteps echoed through the whole place...
I then stop after I got to my destination...
I then looked to the front...
And Cyan was silently looking from behind me...
What was in front of me was...
Murataus's body that got crushed by the giant red crystal...
His body just lying there without any movement...
The aura from the red crystal floated up leaving a trail of red smoke and...
Disappearing as it flew up into the hole above...
The light shines through the hole and the light from outside shines down illuminating some from the dark...
I was right in front of Murataus's body or corpse...
Looking at the red orb of energy in the middle of its head...
It's still glowing...
I clenched my arms...
And I slowly lift my right arm towards the red orb...
Cyan looked at me and opened her mouth and speak in a small voice that I can hear...
"I-is it okay to touch?" (Cyan)
"..." (Liana)
I stay silent and just let my hand touch the red orb...
Then...
PLING!
The red orb shine brightly as my hand touched it...
I slowly closed my eyes as that happened...
The light from the orb illuminated the whole place...
Even Cyan closed her eyes because of the brightness...
Then...
Everything went dark...

[Third Person POV]
Pling!...pling!...pling!...
Sounds of water droplets echoed through the darkness...
Lia slowly opened her eyes as she heard it...
What she saw was darkness everywhere...
"Cyan?" (Liana)
Lia called Cyan but she was nowhere to be found...
She was alone here...
Ratak!ratak!...
Her ears twitch as she heard the sound of something hitting something...
But she can't even see anything in her eyes...
She doesn't even know where she was...
She can only narrow her eyes and quickly adjust them to see through the darkness...
Slowly but surely she saw something in front of her...
And it was...
"Kriii....." (Murataus)
Murataus...
Standing right in front of her not moving at all...
"..." (Liana)
Both of them looked at each other without saying anything...
Both of Lia's eyes twitches as she saw something in the middle of Murataus's head...
It's not the red glowing orb...
But...
A small...
Blue flower...
"I knew it..." (Liana)
Lia looked down with sadness on her face...
She can only crack a small smile as she looked at Murataus again...
Lia does have some hints in her head leading to that conclusion...
But when the hints are right...
It's pretty depressing...
"Now what?" (Liana)
Lia doesn't know what to do right now...
But...
Murataus turned his head and started looking up toward the sky...
Sky?...
Lia looked up and saw what seems to be a crack in the darkness...
And inside that crack was the clear blue sky...
"krickkrickkrick..." (Murataus)
"Ah..." (Liana)
Lia then figures something out...
Something that Murataus wanted to do...
She saw the sun shining brightly in that sky from the crack...
"sigh*..." (Liana)
Lia sighed and looked at Murataus...
His body...
Doesn't look like the one that she was fighting before...
But the one that she saw from the memory...
The one that was full of flowers...
But his body was covered in strips of darkness coiling around him...
The darkness felt like chains wrapping around his body and restricting him from moving...
Murataus looked at Lia and Lia also looked at him...
Lia slowly raised her right hand at Murataus's head...
Murataus just stands there not moving an inched while still looking at Lia...
As her hand touched Murataus's head...
And she slowly closed both of her eyes...
"..." (Liana)
She knows this is not real but just a dream...
And she was stuck here for the moment...
She wonders if she can get this thing off of him...
She felt something like mana from it though so maybe...
Maybe...
She doesn't know if it will work but...
It's worth trying...
She opened her mouth and said...
"Corp-.... No... [Drain]" (Liana)
[Drain] one of the many moves that she learns from her time training...
It's the same as [Corps Drain] but it was used just to drain the mana of something that has mana itself...
It was used for weakening enemies or disarming traps that used mana...
It's a simple spell but very deadly if it was used very strongly and uncontrollably...
she focus on absorbing the darkness with her right arm that was touching Murataus's head...
Her arm started glowing weakly and then...
Ratak!Ratak!...
The darkness...
Was slowly getting absorbed into Lia's hand...
She felt weird and very uncomfortable as she was absorbing the darkness...
It felt like she was taking a bath in cold water...
With also the feeling of creepy crawl crawling all around her body...
Her body shivers as she felt that...
But...
The darkness-like chains that were wrapping murataus's body started cracking...
Cracks of light started gushing out from the darkness that was covering Murataus's body...
Then...
CRASHHHH!!!!....
The darkness that was covering his body turned into particles of light...
The particles of light spread all around the place...
Illuminating Murataus and Lia's bodies...
The light particles felt like stars...
Lia looked down and saw that the ground that was illuminated by the light was now grass...
She also saw that the dark place there were in was nowhere to be seen anymore...
What she does see was...
That she was now out in the open with Murataus...
Above them were the big blue sky full of clouds and the sun shining at them...
She also noticed that she was in a clearing surrounded by forest now...
Then...
Rashak!rashak!...
She heard movement behind her...
She turned around and saw a bush shaking in the distance...
Something came out from the bush and...
What came out from the bush was...
A small critter...
Looks like a chipmunk...
The small-looking chipmunk slowly came out from the busses towards where Murataus and...
Then it slowly climbed its body and started playing around its body...
It looks...
Cute to Lia...
She can't help but smile...
But then...
Rashak!rashak!
Rashak!rashak!
More critters started coming out one by one...
She saw an animal that looks like deer, a bear, and many more one by one coming to where Murataus is at...
She also saw rabbits jumping toward where Murataus was...
Many animals were flocking to Murataus...
This...
Is quite the site...
"huh..." (Liana)
A rabbit stopped right in front of Lia...
She looked down at the rabbit...
The rabbit has a horn on its head...
"Oh... A horned rabbit" (Liana)
Lia slowly crouched down and raised her right hand but the rabbit just jumped away toward Murataus and where the other rabbits are leaving her with her stretched hand...
Lia's ears and tail flopped down as that happened...
"chip!chip!" (???)
She heard chipping from above...
Lia looked up and...
Saw a small bird flying down...
The bird...
Have a red scarf on its neck...
"that is..." (Liana)
The small bird landed on Murataus's head...
And started chipping happily...
Murataus stayed there not saying a single word...
But...
Lia can feel that he was happy...
Ratak!Ratak!Ratak!...
Murataus's body started cracking...
Light came out from the crack...
And then...
CRACHANG!!!!
Wings started coming out from the cracks...
The wings are Colorful...
And was radiating...
Each of its segments has one wing on each side...
It felt...
Magical to say the least...
Murataus's body then started levitating up suddenly...
The animals around him started backing up as he float up...
Lia just...
Looked at him...
As he slowly floated up higher and higher...
The small bird was flying beside him...
Murataus then started flapping each of his wings...
The wings radiated light as they flopped around in the air...
The animals around Lia started shouting...
It felt like...
They are saying goodbye to him...
Lia slowly raised her mouth into a smile...
And raised her right hand and waved goodbye as Murataus started flying up with the small bird beside him...
Lia slowly opened her mouth while looking at Murataus...
"It... Was nice knowing you" (Liana)
A smile came from her face as she saw this scene...
As Murataus was getting farther and farther into the sky above...
Murataus slowly turned his head and looked at Lia for a moment...
His eyes lit up for a moment before he turned back and started flying again with the little bird beside him...
It felt like he said something to her...
Lia doesn't know what he was saying to her...
But...
She thinks...
She already knows what he said...
She smiled at Murataus...
"No problem" (Liana)
Even when Lia didn't do anything but fight him till the end...
"I didn't exactly do a lot of things to help you though... But... At least..." (Liana)
Lia just kept looking up into the sky...
And...
Up in that sky, Murataus was flying freely...
He doesn't know where he was flying off to...
But...
"Chip!chip!chip!" (???)
What he did know...
"krick!krick!krick!" (Murataus)
Is that the small bird was beside him and...
Murataus looked towards the distance...
His wings flapped happily in the sky...
Nothing is pulling him down anymore...
And here he finally realized...
That he was finally free...
He is finally free from that darkness...
From torment...
From hunger...
From...
"Chip!chip!chip!" (Little Bird)
From loneliness...
Murataus...
Finally found happiness...
And...
Down below Lia was smiling happily at them...
"At least... You finally got your happy ending right?" (Liana)

[Liana POV]
After a while since Murataus and the little bird's departure...
All the animals that were around me started disappearing one by one into particles of light and the light slowly started floating up into the sky...
and then the whole place slowly started turning white everything started disappearing into light particles...
The blue sky...
The forest...
The grass...
It felt like everything was getting erased...
I can only think of what might happen next would be the ending...
But...
Ratak!ratak!
I then felt something hitting my foot...
I looked down and saw...
A small red glowing orb beside my feet...
"..." (Liana)
The red orb slowly turned from red to purple as I kept looking at it...
The glow from the orb faded away slowly...
This orb...
It was stuck on murataus's center head if I remember it could be the core of the power Murataus had when I fought him...
I always wonder...
What kind of orb is this?...
It felt like a memory fragment but different...
I slowly crouch down and picked up the orb and hold it in my hand but...
Crack!*Pachuuussssss.....
The orb cracked on my hand, turned into sand, and then quickly disappeared from my hand...
Nothing was left at all...
I opened and closed my hand but nothing was left...
I narrowed my eyes as this happened...
I'm going to need to talk to Eli about this...
"Sigh*... More and more question is popping up in my head..." (Liana)
There are so many secrets in this world that I can't even imagine...
I know the basics but the more I know the more questions are coming back to me...
I know Eli knows a lot of things that I don't know...
But still...
I can only scratch my head as my view slowly turned black...
