The plain they stand on crack in disbelief,
“What do you mean it is not real!?” Oldie Go shouts at Ms. Real who opens the book and place her fingers on a page. Suddenly, the entire background swirl in mist before clearing out to a rocky terrain. No trees, nor forest, only granite and gravel. With stone spires extending out onto the young V of the valley where it shades a battalion running and being chased by volkins, half humanoid arachnids, gargoyles, a cloud of mosquitos, and a few on the shadows of the crags. Ms. Real looks over her shoulder seeing the frantic and worried two old couples, her siblings who tends to Haures’s wound and a special few who does not know what to do in the other than watch—Isaac, Peacock, Oby and somehow a drunk Amerie.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5dj2QlsfE
“Why are you showing this to us, monster…” Oldie Go sobs, seeing how General Haures below is convincing his battalion to step pass a line of dead insects. Yelling to them that they have to risk in order not to get eaten and turn into one of the monsters chasing after them.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6qIVrN6az
“I understand your grief and I know that you do not wish to see what happens but this is the truth. And I’ve come to realize it myself,”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepbHQ1TVjT
“Realize what?” Haures says, still eyeing on the opened book whose page entry is his,
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz9SPRQiLn
But Real does not answer as they watch the battalion pass through the valley. Their legs slowly giving out after passing a few rock spires but they are already yards away from the monsters. And when they disappear further, Real simply turns to the next page and the scene turns where the battalion is—struggling to breathe with some already fainting and trying to gasp with their tongue out like a dog. They can hear General Haures trying to pull up these fallen soldiers, struggling as he starts to yell those who can continue to go forwards as he carries those fainted on his back. Among them is where Oldie Go yells out names, seeing his family burning his face into twisted anxiety. Yelling for the General to hurry up and pass the valley. Princess Amerie and Oby does the same with the grandma running up to Peacock and pushing him, “GO AND SAVE THEM ALREADY!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57IyQhyIe9
“COCK!? I have not part in this”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yi3cBorIz
“Peacock is right,” Ms. Real affirms, the veins around her eyes glowing pink, “We are simply observers of what happened in these pages.” Flipping the book to the next page and Haures can be seen, still holding his breath as he carries an entire lifeless battalion on his back, “Can you remember, Haures? You are the only one among us who did not bother to check his entries and wrote anything new.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxehaAv3M4o
The General below finally passes through the valley, knelt down immediately, wails and curses at the heavens as he finally breathes with a wrung voice. The lifeless soldiers rolling down the pile into a line similar to what they saw before with the line of ants before entering the airless valley. The General looks over his shoulder to his dead soldiers and curls as he hugs himself, banging his head against the ground and once again cursing at the heavens, Delrith and Necroxia.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7KnzbfUDE
“Why are you showing this to us?” lips bitten with a voice bitter in asking, Haures glares at Ms. Real with the face so similar with the General Haures below who is trying to remain calm.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4oPbqW5iR
“As I said, you were the only one who did not bother checking or writing new entries about what happened after this incident. And surprisingly, a good entry to connect with the rest of us. Why? Was it because you knew that you did not want to write meaningless entries? Or was it so because you can ask me in the future to bring us back to this very part of history, reminding yourself while also, proceeding to our entries.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiYYmKDH2m
They watch as General Haures lay down one large blanket, enough for him to pile the dead bodies on as he mourns and remind himself in utterance about how they would lay on one blanket all together. Tears once again rage out of him before his eyes glow ash and he utters silent words, holding onto a girl’s hand whom Oldie Go recognizes to be his daughter. Then, ten seconds later and the pile of bodies turn into petrified ash, maintaining the forms of the bodies. He wraps up the entire blanket and carry the mass on his shoulder as he make his way down the mountain, following a river that leads him to the port.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7i9YnjioV
“Next---”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7aaitSRWq
“WHAT DID YOU DO!?” Oldie Go grabs and pulls on the hem of Haures’s polo, “DID YOU TURN THEM TO STONE JUST SO YOU CAN THROW THEM INTO THE OCEAN!?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaiBtJUW82
“Hush” Ms. Real says and the world falls silent, no voice comes out from the old man who is lost in his emotion. “Next we will head on to Zephyr’s entry, three weeks after what happened in General Haures’s disaster at the valley of Unyan.” Thus, the world swirls to her words and morph into that of a forest. Blue fireflies buzz around the dancing leaves, waving to greet a man whose bloody wounds have healed to scars and the blanket mass on his sleeping shoulders remain the same. Knock, knock, knock, he knocks at the wooden door of a hut that spews out green plumes of smoke.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8J8OGUr3q
And a witch like pitched laughter pierces through the forest before asking, “What brings thy lost traveler in? I am the great with who reside in this forest. I, know every—” She opens the door and sees that it is General Haures. “Oh, dear mothers, I would never want to see you like this but you are…”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6r03EdE0c
General Haures looks down at her with pleading eyes, the once threatening figure and shadow sighs out in exhaustion, “Checkup”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAMUuIbROq
“Yes, yes, of course. Put down your bearings outside because I know my hut would vomit it out, even you. But I do not wish for that trivial for now. Come inside so that I can check you.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhaVvLCeRP
Haures carefully place the blanket mass on the side before walking into Zephyr’s herbal abode. A vomiting collection of plants and preserved animals in jars lined up on shelves. A cauldron spewing out the green plumes of smoke where the scent of medicine immediately dizzies his steps. Stumbling on a coffee table, leaning on a counter, before Zephyr—with a snake wrapped around her neck, immediately helps her struggling big brother to lay on the couch. “Ew, I know a bad vampire bite when I see one.” Pointing out the hickey on the neck
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gf2BMYchw
“Get on with it already” Groaning with a burning feeling growing on his forehead. He tries to massage his own temples but then Zephyr’s snake slithers on the parts of his face where it burns. Its moist skin soothing the big man to a stable breathing,
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri2bRXDHUR
“Fatigue, muscle tear...concussion, maybe," Zephyr adds, her voice low and measured. "Something struck your head?"
“No…but It was cold…and, I could not breathe…”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1fSCtpPlp
“Mmm~” Zephyr nods knowingly as her neck slithers down to his injured neck. She looks down his panting body, cuts from the heads all the way down to the toes probably. “These clothes are in the way” flinging her fingers and causing the fabrics to retract themselves into one pinky sized splinter, leaving nothing for Zephyr’s green glowing eyes to completely check the General’s body. “A full recovery would take a month, while half would take today…but, I don’t recommend the half”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5y6OuAVsX
“Why?” Haures breathlessly says, groaning as the snake wraps around his aching neck.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyy1Hphli6
“My, I know very well about the happenings of my siblings and the Noirs just as Real knows, but I tend to move on forwards unlike being stuck up like her. No knowledge in this world, especially with diseases and aiments, hides from me—the great witch of Cyndoryll!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8i15JfpXL
Haures gasps, veined hands bulged into fists as the snake constricts before it relaxes, slithering down to his bleeding pecs and leaving the neck fully without injuries. The aching shrinking and fading out,
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdAwstXNgP
“Ms. Serses can take care of worn, torn, or dead tissues. But that will not solve the issue on Dramescula’s blood flowing and infecting your cells like cancer. Hence why a month is needed for me to fully help you.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFzByNUNjD
“A month is too long” He says, remembering about his dead soldiers and the blanket mass outside, feeling Serses squeezing around his left chest muscle and hissing its tongue at his pink red nipples,
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQefRO3wca
“Then would you have yourself turning into one of them? Not fully for sure but still, you will have half her cells in you. And a quick operation hurts you know.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbrYkmbZ5z
“Do it”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MIEhPkJBI
…”Fine,” standing before leaving after saying, “Have Serses fix you up first, I’ll be off making the preparations in the other room.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dr3aTkvLU
Haures gasps as Serses slithers down to his abdomen, the snake's smooth scales gliding over his taut muscles. The serpent hisses softly, its forked tongue flicking out to taste the sweat and blood beading on Haures's skin.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXPUlrEMpd
"What are you doing?" Haures asks, his voice strained with discomfort.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsEJULrM3u
Serses does not answer, only continuing its work as it coils around Haures's waist. The snake squeezes, and Haures lets out a yelp of pain. Trying to wriggle away from the constricting grip like a pathetic worm. Good thing Zephyr is not around to see that he is biting his lips bloody again.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L7Il7UipL
But Serses is relentless, moving down to Haures's hips and thighs. The snake's body ripples as it contracts around the firm muscles, massaging away the aches and pains. Haures grits his teeth, his hands repeating in clenching his fists at his sides and clicking his fingers.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLNCwu1ZMp
"Do it quickly," he groans, feeling Serses slither between his legs and wrap around his groin. The pressure is almost unbearable, and Haures lets out strangled moans. And, as if Serses is enjoying his reactions, slithers up and down the boiling muscle, its fork tongue teasingly taps the sobbing tip that pleads for the snake’s squeezing mercy. Once again, he thanks Zephyr.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIwZOtiyWq
His hand reaching to strangle this snake before it suddenly releases itself. Every healthy muscle clench and spasm in and out as streaks of his stress charges out and onto his burning and beet red face. Before a sense of tranquility takes over him and every squeeze that Serses does becomes relief. Easily loosing tight muscle knots, draining the tension away.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KR8g0kDBe
Haures sighs, his head falling back against the couch cushions.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1irQEKnf4N
Serses hisses in satisfaction, slithering up Haures's body once more. It coils around his biceps, the powerful muscles flexing beneath the snake's grip. Haures winces as Serses squeezes, but the pain quickly fades into pleasure. Moving down to Haures's forearms and wrists. It wraps around each finger individually, massaging the joints until they are loose and flexible. Haures lets out a contented sigh, feeling his body melt away into the snake’s scales.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoe4PBV5vx
As Serses finishes its work, it slithers back up to drape itself around Haures's neck once more. The snake hisses softly, its tongue flicking out to brush and clean Haures's ear.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvTNAhJrEU
“Argh, do you have to?” he says before hearing something buzzing. The snake leans back, showing Haures a vampire beetle that was in his ears. “Disgusting,” he says before allowing the snake to suck out more vampiric insects from his ears. He grabs a nearby towel on the coffee table and wiping away his thick musky spunk from earlier. All before the snake leaves the General to rest, and slithering for the room Zephyr is in.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Jk3uz4oA7
“Huh, Preposterous of me to be a witch. I was sure to have read my entries all the time.” Observer Zephyr says, watching at the room full of herbs and ingredients through the window, “Look at that lizard, good God I would die to have one of those.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14Nao61zUz
“Those are yours” Real says assuringly before flipping a page and the scene changes to the witch Zephyr casting a ritual on the General.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1nnsXZ5Do
“Is this necessary?” He asks, salt being thrown at him by his sister who swings a burning stick at him
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0qvcnibb1
“Really necessary” she says, hitting head notes as if she is summoning a ghost. “HAAA---EEEE----YAAAAHHAAAAA!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpqedQoILe
“GAHH! How unelegant and absolutely barbaric for her to sing like a dying bird!” Observing Zephyr and the rest have their hands scratching their heads,
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKqJpvdqN7
“T-that’s s-stil-l y-y-you s-sis…”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZAa7XK73x
“It is also what you wrote in your entry, a whole page of it.” Ms. Real adds, flipping the next page where the witch Zephyr begins her process by setting General Haures to dip his feet in a bucket.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFK36qAdnx
“What’s this?” General Haures asks the witch, seeing no reflection of his on the water
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2m3uPvOTm
“A liquid that vampires hate the most which I specially took from an elven moonwell.” Attaching wooden splinters on his body, “Be glad that I do not have a stock of these and you are using it.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe9etpqlbs
“So you stole it”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28l7f7Oiqq
“STOLE!? HAH!? Moonwells are naturally unclaimed and unadultered by anything. The word elven in elven moonwell simply means that they decorated that moonwell to their elvish designs. It is not stealing!” She steps back before dipping her hand in ink and writing inscriptions on the General’s body, “I will begin.” She murmurs, her finger remaining on his navel before her eyes blink and glow green. “Try not to call out for anyone, Dramescula might hear you.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBRRlXc5Xv
“As if I---” Haures shut his eyes biting his lips as he feels his insides being pulled out of his navel “gGhhk” opening his eyes and a black centipede like line connected to Zephyr’s finger gets slowly and painfully pulling out. Continuing longer than his arm, longer than Zephyr and eventually longer than both of them. Yet she still pulls on it slow and steady, the pain of feeling his organs being pulled out through his navel remains in the last five hours. And, sweat had pooled down on his feet, saying, “yank it out.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI04qHX7EoK
“…” Zephyr says nothing as she tries to remain pulling at a steady pace,
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGUBL7gwJ6
“Hey” Haures growls low and commanding, “I said yank it out”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKoCvd6UTu
“I am trying to help” Zephyr says but looking up and seeing Haures’s eyes grow scarlet with his veins glowing ashy, she flinches. Breathing shaky, “Please, brother. We really have to get every bit of Dramescula out of you.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUNFhNgNM4
“Do as I say” He threatens,
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0tXh6Drfv
And Zephyr clicks her tongue, grabbing the length from the base with both hands before glancing at Haures who is sure and dead serious.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7umh6OtwOI
Then, flipping a page and the scene disappears with the hut and the entire forest being covered in mist
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VWxXJ0BaA
“WHAT HAPPENED!?” Zephyr asks to Ms. Real who looks down at the book
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb7GfKyjLD
Saying, “That was where your entry of the past ended,” She flips through the long pages of recipes and ingredients note while Zephyr complains at everyone and to herself for being absurd and not continuing writing what happened. Questioning herself where the hut is located so she can go back, questioning about Serses and questioning Haures for being naughty with her assistant. The last one being heavily argued by a flustered Haures. “Ipos has a short entry like Haures. With a lot of holes that I filled in for him so it may not be accurate,” Ms. Real starts, bringing everyone’s attention back to the morphing scene.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1roBDV3db
“T-That-‘s M-my fault…S-s-rr-y e-everyone…”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGTAFW10k9
Haures immediately changes the heated topic to the Faun, calling out to the innocent Ipos as being perverted and naughtier with the way a third leg is hanging in between the goat legs. Which Ipos shrieks and curls in embarrassment.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO97elaM1L
“Look over there!” Princess Amerie points to General Haures who is walking up to the side of a mountain, towards a faun who is sleeping on a flat stone and surrounded by mountain goats, bunnies, butterflies, two bears and one murlock who only had to look up at General Haures to scram everybody away.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFzHid9OQS
General Haures approaches the faun, shaking and giving his wake a slap in the face. “Ipos”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9AOX1lBDf
“G-GAah!” The faun sits up with a red left cheek and seeing the General Haures has him kneeling full with his forehead on the stone, “S-spare me-e b-bro…I did- not k-know you-re c-coming…”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplMWbrVozi
“Ipos” Haures starts again, exhausted eyes looking down at the faun, “Dig a hole. Big enough for this” placing the blanket mass beside him,
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfpsSSDf3R
And the faun wonders, “T-treas-ure!?” Eyes sparkling, “F-for m-me!?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpX7n3ugXm
But Haures shakes his head and repeats his command. Not long after, the General becomes violent and kicks the lazy faun off the stone, forcing him to go to the mountain base where the faun thinks it is best to alter the land. “B-bro…g-give m-me some-t-thing go-ood for once?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wCUr7g8Ea
“…” Haures looks up at the cloudy sky, pondering what to actually give the faun.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAz1LDTYbw
“W-what!? Y-y-you-re ac-ctually gi-giving me?” Smiling widely and prancing up to the big brother, “I---I was---j-just t-teasing hehe.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV20ODDugRX
“Then…”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNvjbTGydw
A mist forms around the scene and once again gets cut off, “Do you remember Haures?” Ms. Real asks with everyone huddling around Ipos and asking him the same. But the two try to remember and only shaking their heads, saying that they do not.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PQQNEFMfD
Flipping a page and the scene proceeds to where Ipos dances, imagining himself of bending the large slightly sloped mountain base to cave in. Seconds later and the earth quakes, birds fly from their trees, and clouds form before the minute passes with General Haures calling out to Ipos that he might be overdoing it but the faun cannot hear the General and then, the entire land starts to split apart. Instead of the mountain base, the entire landform cracks in half, avalanching to a crescent shaped before opening a clear view of the great river Micelea from Fogsight fort and Amerie’s tower.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhSYZgnz5v
“You overdid it!” The General scolds and throws a pebble at the faun who clutches his head and bows fully again in apology. “I said to dig me a hole not split the earth.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjZAypS0U3
“I—I’m s-s-rry”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC5Mkg2Aes
The mist once again breaks the scene, and everybody behind Ms. Real starts talking about family and power control issues at Haures and Real. Flipping a page and the scene morphs when Ipos has a swollen left cheek and bruised right temple, and the General throws the entire blanket mass into the sinkhole. He orders the faun to cover it which the little brother does so without question. It is only a short scene with the mist quickly covering.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZN3aTwlRN
And just as when Ms. Real is about to flip the page, Princess Amerie notices a giantess silhouette at the distance. She calls out for this silhouette and it starts running towards them. With the mist covering any senses, except for seeing a dark silhouette, Ms. Real asks the princess to stay back as she flips towards Real’s entry. But, the scene does not morph. A giantess comes up from the mist and realize her dark and muddy features. Her bruised neck, dark green hair that looks like dried kelp and, sharp pink eyes smartly staring at Ms. Real—who recognize the resemblance of this giantess to the princess.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCplBIYzhhL
“Is That Me!?” Princess Amerie asks herself, running up to the giantess and waving her hand. “You look just like me beauty!” But then the giantess runs past her and everyone else. They all turn around to see where she is heading and where the covered sinkhole was is now a village with dozens or more rows of gravestones. A village in the mist that Isaac can still remember, as well as Oldie Go who says that the houses and the lay out of the village seems familiar.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MTqVFTTD2
They follow the giantess Amerie who seems to be looking for something in the village. She digs a few soils, flinching herself at the face of a dead woman that the old couple recognize to be their daughter. The giantess quickly flees, running while the rest follows, all the way on top of a hill where they see. She looks up, staring at dandelions floating in circles
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzNNWrgaU6
“Ah!” Princess Amerie recognizes the dandelions and the hill, “This is where I had my first chitchat with Isaac and Peacock~! What a crazy ride! Who knew giantess me would lead us here. Maybe she always wants to chitchat?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrUAimRSKf
But the giantess does not look like she can hear or see the observers. Amerie taps the giantess repeatedly, with Ms. Real asking the princess to be cautious. Which it might have worked. The giantess is looking down at Amerie as if listening to her.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiJV1fw1kN
At this moment, Isaac remembers that a thunder had struck the birch tree but there is no thunder, no flash of light. What changed is Princess Amerie being able to touch the giantess and the giantess responds with a smile. Isaac quickly runs up to the giantess, calling out with the same name as the princess. Which the giantess turns to him, affirming his realization that the giantess in front of them now is the present Amerie who he knows.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Gknlt9YA
“Impossible…” Ms. Real says, staring up at the giantess, “How could she have come in, into the pages when she was not even written here…”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKP5GqH2sL
Which the Giantess opens her palm, gesturing as if asking if she can hold the book. Isaac tells Ms. Real that it is okay, that the giantess is princess Amerie which the present princess Amerie in a dress cannot believe that what she is seeing is herself. The mist growing thicker. With Ms. Real giving the book to the giantess and she opens it to the page of Real’s entry. Before showing everyone a black page
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKljYeZVme
“Yes…it is blank,” Ms. Real stating the obvious
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq0ivAR5Ja
And the Giantess gestures her fingers as if she is writing.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5DRQ6yRHe
“She needs a pen!” Princess Amerie says, “I know myself better than anyone else so for sure she needs a pen!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK85qvyJMsb
But the audience look at each other, shrugging their shoulders and say that they do not have a pen. Until the giantess walks up to Peacock who gets flustered and tries to hide behind Isaac. The bird does not get away as Haures somehow manage to grab hold of it. “COCK!? LET ME GO!!!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68cl7vrtTl
The giantess plucks a feather from the poor bird’s wing before biting her wrist to bleed.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW4GAFcMgr
“Goodness! You do not have to go that far!” Princess Amerie says, “We could’ve just bled the bird and cook it turkey!” Chills run down Peacock’s spine and remember the time when he was forcefully taken into an oven and actually being cooked. Telling the princess to stop joking around.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsEw4Arre5
They patiently wait for the giantess to finish writing and when she did, she starts running again. Everybody else give chase, with Ms. Real worried about where they might end up but Princess Amerie tells her that it will be fine, and to simply trust where the giantess will take them. Which, she does take them to a lake with a tree in the middle. The giantess once again writes something in the book, and gives it to Ms. Real
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NLJcke9Lo
“Take it Real, just take and believe me!” Princess Amerie says who looks at her with the same eyes as the giantess. “Try to set the scene for this me and maybe, something good might happen!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7AtnFAsRt
“But Princess…I was only originally intending to show the memories to my siblings in order to help them remember--”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSVIuQHeR2
“I know! And maybe you thought of helping this old couple too. But what about me, Oby, Peacock and Isaac? Maybe, this giantess me is trying to make you help us, though I don’t know what’s gotten of me haha.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3atVJqJ1u6
“P—Princesses are crazy boy…” Peacock whispers to Isaac and the boy cannot agree more with the bird.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa5KUE0d2U
“If the princess wishes it then…” Ms. Real breathes in and out, collecting herself, “it is my duty as your loyal beast to do as you wish.” She takes the book, placing her fingers on the bloody page. The scene does not morph, simply parting away the mist to show with only a little girl with pink hair standing next to a tree in the middle of the lake. The night sky and moon striking midnight before the giantess steps on the water surface, and able to start running. Every step causing a moonlit ripple and glowing sparkle.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1kAylGFmG
“WOAHHH!” Princess Amerie cheers, “I CAN DO THAT!?” not noticing that Ms. Real extends her efforts of helping the giantess walk on water just as what is written in the book.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKNx60qsCK
Real my Reality
Help me, your princess Amerie
In helping the trapped to be free
For you, are not their reality
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAIeTJTzmJ
The giantess reaches out for the little girl in pink, tightly embracing her in a warm hug. Then, a shockwave pulses from the center of the lake, fainting Haures, Zephyr, Ipos, Peacock, Isaac, and Oldie Go. Tendrils of light latches around their waist and pulls them towards little Real
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHmWdO4g7M
But then Oby utters silent words for the tall grass to grab hold of them. Not letting go,
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0BBl4k1X0
“Let go of them Oby.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz79NCYeUZa
“But Princess Amerie still wants them to be around…” Oby says in struggle in trying to pull them back, “Ms. Real…help me, for the princess…”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2aQbbTl2t
“Let go,” Ms. Real’s eyes and veins glow purple, “I would be helping you if the princess were still here”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0On2NJxwGQ
“But the princess is STILL here!” Oby says, and only daring to look forward and focusing on pulling everyone back.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9N7kqa1Wh
“OBER AVANHAWK!” Ms. Real utters his name and the boy stumbles to his side, releasing the siblings, oldie Go and Peacock. The five gets pulled straight into the warm light of little Real.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jq6fNtMKK
But one grass steel holds Isaac. “I won’t…I shouldn’t! T-The future…with him and everyone else! I saw it! They should just stay with us here when times are better!”

“Do I repeat myself?” Real’s voice once again in echoic divine, but who stands next to the boy is not Ms. Real.
