Story Summary: Difference between revisions

[[Laby]] made it to the other side of the barrier but was badly hurt from it. [[Gaia|Bellonde]] rushes her immediately towards the El Tower for aid. While their sudden appears was a surprise, they are welcomed into the city and [[Denif]] tasks [[Darkmoon]] with tending to Laby. Gaia reclaims his duty as an El Master.

[[Darkmoon]] goes to try and heal Laby but her injuries had already healed. Laby wakes up and feels better. Learning about the situation from [[Artea]], Laby runs off to see Bellonde's teacher, Denif.

When Laby arrived to the El Tower, she was struck with awe when she saw the Large El, saying that it was the same light she called morning. Denif asked her what she meant, and she explains herself. Denif concludes that the morning Laby spoke of were most definitely related to the Large El. The priestesses correlating them to the El's restoration during the Nasod War, the El Explosion, and its most recent restoration by [[Elsword]]. They speak of the boy before Denif asks Laby about Nisha, but Laby hesitates, simply calling it her friend.

Darkmoon wonders if Laby could be a demon, sensing a similar aura. Laby tells them about the demons in Northern Fluone, though initially fearful of their presence, Laby assures them [[Calonne]] and the others are good. The priestesses learn to trust Laby, Denif was still a tad suspicious. With the day soon reaching its end, Denif calls an end to their meeting and suggests they all rest.

That night, while [[Laby]] contemplated what she should do with Nisha, [[Ignia]] met up with her. The two talked, Ignia reflects on her life, regrets, and her current motivations. She says that she aspires to meet the Fire Master and learn under him to better her abilities. Laby opens up to Ignia and tells her that Nisha is her sadness. Ignia presents the information to [[Denif]]. He is vexed by Laby's situation as something unprecedented. Laby mentions the energy she felt inside the barrier felt familiar to her.

Denif senses that [[Ventus]] was approaching from the other side of the seal. With the priestesses and [[Gaia]]'s help, they open up the seal where Ventus comes through with [[Rosso]]. The priestesses introduce themselves to newly arrived Fire Master. The introduction quickly spiraled into an argument between Rosso and Ignia. The two fight among each other until Gaia drags Rosso away to get his injuries tended to. Ignia feels dejected by her encounter with the Fire Master but both Ventus and Denif find their encounter to have gone better than expected.

[[Darkmoon]] tends to Rosso's wounds when Laby follows them to talk with Rosso. Bickering ensues and Rosso is not trustful of whatever Laby is, but Gaia assures him that she is of no harm. Laby is curious if Rosso knew what she was, he eventually states that her aura was certainly of Demon Realm origins, being something he himself felt near where he slept. Rosso warns Gaia that he only spoke this information so he would be aware and be responsible for the child. Rosso rests, Laby thanks Darkmoon for helping her.

Laby feels she might need to go to the Demon Realm for answers. [[Ventus]] appears before Laby and she asks him if he and the wind are one, which he replies that he accepts the wind. He tells her of the [[Forgotten Elrian Sanctum|Forgotten Elrian Sanctum]] where she could train and grow. Laby takes the offer and goes off.

In the sanctum, Laby began to hear the voices of the past. She begins hearing her own voice asking herself what she is afraid of, where she replies she fears losing Nisha. She fears what would happen if they became one, but comes to the conclusion that she and Nisha should share their sadness. To understand each other not as one being, but as partners. With her new perspective, she heads back to Elrianode.

In the midst of planning for the future, [[Denif]] was just about to task [[Laby]] and [[Gaia]] to retrieve [[Calonne]] so they can make use of the portal in [[Debrian Laboratory]]. However, [[Ventus]] arrives with the news that the El Search Party were already approaching [[Elrianode]]. All the priestesses and Masters gather and open the seal, Ventus notices the El Search Party were being held up by the monsters and [[Artea]] notices the monsters trying to approach the rift they made. With all the masters tied with keeping the seal open, Laby volunteers to go in and help the El Search Party, Denif agrees to her plan.
