Story Summary: Difference between revisions

Laby feels she might need to go to the Demon Realm for answers. [[Ventus]] appears before Laby using the power of the wind. She asks him if he and the wind are one, which he replies that he accepts the wind. Seeing the girl ponder his statement, he tells her of the [[11-6|Forgotten Elrian Sanctum]] where she could train and grow. Laby takes the offer and goes off. [[Lincy]] questions his decision as she knew he was still suspicious of the girl, Ventus himself being unsure, perhaps he simply wished to act as an elder for once.

Back in the city, [[Denif]] recalls to Gaia the events following the El Explosion, informing Gaia that while he fell asleep after he poured his energy into the El, Denif remained awake and used the last of his energy to seal off [[Elrianode]]. Gaia wondered why Denif decided to seal the city alone and not requested the aid of the other masters. Denif gave two reasons, the first being that making the Elemental El was the more important priority they could not afford to fail, and the other was he suspected the possibility of a traitor. Gaia is saddened that Denif did not trust him enough but understands his judgement and promises to earn his trust in the present. Denif applause Gaia's growth in the time they've been apart, noting that he and Ventus haven't been as affected due to their already inherent long lives, he thanks Gaia for returning. Gaia states his new resolves came from Laby, believing their meeting at his sister's grave was a sign.

In the sanctum, she began to hear the voices of the past, mistaking it for the voice which prevented her from leaving the forest. She begins hearing her own voice asking herself what she is afraid of, where she replies she fears losing Nisha. She wonders what would happen if they did become one. Afraid of losing herself, she doesn't quite want to become one with Nisha, but wants them to share with each other. For Nisha to teach her sadness, and for her to teach Nisha other emotions. To understand each other not as one being, but as partners. With her new perspective, she heads back to Elrianode.

The priestesses talk among each other. [[Ignia]] notices that controlling the El has become slightly easier since Rosso returned. The other priestesses tell her that she and Rosso should try and make up. Ignia is still hesitant. During their conversation, Laby returns back to the tower and seeks out her teacher. Gaia is glad to see Laby return and she tells him her decision to accept Nisha. Laby's new goal is to find the voice that kept her in the forest and seek out answers from them and thanks Bellonde for everything he has taught her.
