1. [The battle against Quintus and Stigma is finally over. In its wake, the last Rider looks on at the damage dealt to the surroundings, and then at the gaping hole that is still in her chest.
The Causality Reactor - the ancient object that had allowed her to turn the tides - glows brightly where it is embedded into her body. It occasionally sends out pulses of electricity that are clearly becoming painful for Fyra.
Morte looks on, concerned, but with a new sense of understanding.]
You were against being accompanied on that journey, Mistress. Is it because you knew that we would have prevented you from using this?
There were two who fought alongside us before who chose a similar path with another object of great power. Quite a number were opposed to it.
...
...Either way, the damage has been done. As a short-term solution, it worked well. But you are not Quintus - your body cannot contain nor control that power. It will destroy you.
Although...I may have a solution for that. Albeit one that requires sacrifice...

2. [Days later, the few survivors of the Metis Group are gathered in Antarctica, where everything began. Their ranks are bolstered by ESUN researchers and those from Project Unification who decide to follow...
The familiar sight of the tomb is now filled with all sorts of complex, modern machinery. In the center of the space is a reconstructed coffin, where an exhausted Fyra - worn down by the surges from the Causality Reactor - now lies. Her Steed watches over her, looking sombre.
At Morte's suggestion, a decision was made to put the Rider back into stasis, to allow the Reactor to stabilize, and its new host to adapt. The surrounding equipment would vent the excess energy harmlessly, so that there was no risk of overload.
However, there is no telling how long this process will take. At the very least, it would be decades before Fyra would see the light of day again.]
[And yet, she looks very much at peace with that prospect. After all, both Morte and herself had done all that they could for the time being.]

[Sielje tries not to shiver from the cold. It's the same as when she was here the first time... only with less shoggoths.]
If you sleep now... we may not be able to see you ever again.

no subject
It is the best we can do given the limited time we have to work with...
I know, Knight Sielje. I wanted to see this world at peace, as well. With all of you.
But, because I cannot...please make sure there is such a world for me to wake up to.
From:
no subject
I was there when you woke up. Do you remember? And now you are going to...
[Sielje turns around quickly. She's not sure how much longer can she control herself.]
Whatever world you awaken to, I will try my best to make it a world you want to see.
Farewell.

To protect the innocent: that is the way you taught me.
When my sleep ends, I will continue to follow it.

[Sielje halts in her departure. She slowly turns back.]
I am really glad to have met you. If only... if only you awaken by the time I still walk these lands, I will be there to see you! F, for certain!
[With awkwardness and shaking hands, she quickly approaches Fyra. And hugs her.]

Yes, it is the same for me...
I hope I will see you again, friend.

[In spite of the lengths Fyra's having to take just to help protect the world, Selena seems at peace with it.]
I hope it works out well for you.

Likewise, Miss Recital.
I am sorry...for not being able to continue.
May you and the others succeed in your battles.

[Her smile fades as she looks at all the machinery, and then glances out of the tomb.]
If there's still problems in the decades to come, I hope whatever battles you have won't make you have to go all out like this again.
From:
no subject
But...I would like that as well.
