In the Frozen Mind's Eye, Part 6

<DM>	-=QUEST CONTINUE=-
<DM>	*Recap! Last time, you found the river dried up, found a room that was off the map, encountered and defeated an Icerobe and an Ice Elemental, and somehow found your upgraded items... in Shady's mind. Also, Christopher_Belmont wins for insta-world touring.*
<DM>	*You are now in the Switch Room - http://i.imgur.com/N6GyRLq.jpg
<DM>	*The large cylindrical tank of water from before is now devoid of water, though there appears to be something inside of the glass tank, but it's covered in ice.*
*	Christopher_Belmont takes a closer look at the ice covering the item
*	Harvey examines the water tank, searching for a possible way to get in
<Christopher_Belmont>	I wonder if my whip's new power will be enough to break the ice?
<DM>	*Christoper, your face plants itself directly on the extremely cold glass as you attempt to examine the ice covering the item.*
<Christopher_Belmont>	brrrr...
<DM>	*Harvey, there is no way to phase through the glass. However, I should note, it is glass.*
*	Christopher_Belmont backs up from the tank, preparing to ram into it.
<Harvey>	Wait Chirs.
<Harvey>	How about I smash the thing with a hammer.
*	Emilica is pretty much useless at this point
*	Emilica sits down drinking tea
<Christopher_Belmont>	What be it, Man-Beast?
*	Harvey slams his hammer into the glass tank
<Harvey>	$19d10
<Tatl>	Harvey: You rolled 19 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 9, 7, 10, 10, 5, 1, 6, 1, 8, 1, 10, 7, 6, 5, 5, 5, 7, 2 and 3. Total: 108. Successes: 17.
<Christopher_Belmont>	I honestly didn't expect you to have a hammer on you?
<DM>	*Emilica manages to find a way to sit down on a non-existent chair and drink imaginary tea from a table that doesn't exist.*
<Christopher_Belmont>	*I honestly didn't expect you to have a hammer on your person.
<DM>	*Chris fails to realize that Harvey has been using a hammer the entire quest as it blasts straight through the glass tank, causing it all to break down and fall on Harvey. Roll Wisdom vs. 12 successes to dodge the falling glass!*
<Harvey>	$17d10
<Tatl>	Harvey: You rolled 17 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 10, 8, 10, 1, 3, 5, 4, 2, 4, 4, 6, 3, 3, 3, 9, 7 and 2. Total: 84. Successes: 9.
*	Harvey rerolls himself (not dying here)
<Harvey>	$17d10
<DM>	*Harvey feels the pain of 5 damage - defense as the glass- wait, are you actually that low on health?

<DM>	*You feel the pain of 4 damage - defense.*
<Harvey>	(Still enough to kill)
<Christopher_Belmont>	(DM, aren't you going to factor in my attempt to save Harvey)
*	Harvey uses Christopher's bottled fairy to protect himself from the glass
<DM>	*Harvey has found a way to kill himself by smashing a glass tank with a hammer. Perhaps you should have let Chris use his longer ranged whip, but instead, he fairys you back to life.*
<DM>	*Emilica continues to enjoy her tea as a drop of blood finds its way from Harvey's now-reviving-body into Emilica's tea.*
<DM>	*The frozen item inside of the glass is now... accessible.*
*	Emilica doesn't seem bothered by it
<DM>	*Emilica recovers 1 Heart as a result.*

<DM>	*You still melt it completely.*
<Christopher_Belmont>	(goddamnit)
<Harvey>	(All that for nothing)
*	Christopher_Belmont facepalms, cursing his luck
<Harvey>	*?
<DM>	*You hear a quick DING from above, and the pipe that runs from the top of the now-broken tank across the ceiling and to the top of the east door flashes blue.*
<Christopher_Belmont>	Now we probably never solve this dungeon. what do you want to bet that the item was vital to solving this place?
<Harvey>	Maybe it was vital in it not solving this place.
<Harvey>	I'm pretty sure something good just happened
<DM>	*Congrats, you threw at RP at something that you needed to melt in the first place!*
*	Harvey , meanwhile, enters the East door
*	Christopher_Belmont follows after Harvey
*	Harvey equips his shield and hammer
<DM>	*You enter the east door and end up b- wait
<DM>	did I say east door?
<DM>	I meant west
<DM>	weeeeeeest
<Emilica>	No
<Emilica>	You said weast
<Harvey>	(We said East)
<DM>	*You enter the East Door and find out it was actually the West Door, because DM doesn't know how to read a map that he created.*
*	Emilica travels to the alternate dimension of doors and exits out to meet with the others
<Harvey>	(Loading... Loading...)
<DM>	*AAAANYHOW.... you're back in the South Hall. The pipe that runs across the ceiling to the sealed door flashes blue several times. The sealed door unseals, and now the door remains unlocked.*
*	Harvey goes through the newly-unsealed door
<Harvey>	*enters
*	You've invited Harvey to #zuchat (castleheck.tx.us.lunarnet.org)
*	Emilica tries to run up a wall
<DM>	*You enter the newly-unsealed door and find yourselves in a large room that extends almost as far as the Twin Peaks room did. On the far end of the room, on the north wall is a locked door, and on the south wall, there's a large door with a skull-shaped lock on it. There is also something in front of the large door. You can't tell what it is at this distance.*
<DM>	*Nothing else stands out in the room, though you hear echoes of a tapping sound repeat endlessly, as if it's coming from all parts of the room simultaneously.*
*	Christopher_Belmont heads to the door near the north side of the room, to try and lockpick it with his dagger.
<Christopher_Belmont>	I hope the outcome will be different this time around
<DM>	*The lock itself is so small, your dagger's blade won't enter it.*
*	Harvey follows Christopher_Belmont
<Christopher_Belmont>	damn, well so much for that
<DM>	*The tip is able to get through by about a centimeter, but it's not nearly enough.*
<Harvey>	Does anyone have keys?
<DM>	*You've got that large Boss Key from earlier, and that's about it.*
<Christopher_Belmont>	Harvey, do you have any keys? I sure as hell don't.
*	Christopher_Belmont checks his satchel to prove his point
<Harvey>	Okay
<DM>	*The tapping sounds stop, and you hear a voice from the direction of the skull-locked door.*
<DM>	[???]: Are you going to just... ignore me?
<Harvey>	?
*	Harvey turns in the direction of the voice.
<DM>	*The voice sounds high-pitched yet gruff, like someone that's half-dead.*
*	Emilica enters the room the others are in
*	Christopher_Belmont turns around to see if the the creature he was carrying that said that
<Christopher_Belmont>	*if it was
<DM>	*It was not the creature you were carrying. It appears to be coming from whatever is in front of the skull-locked door.*
*	Harvey approaches the object(?)
*	Christopher_Belmont slowly approachs the entity in front of the locked door to the south
<DM>	*You get closer, and the being raises its head. The being appears to be about three feet tall at best, his skin burning yet not falling off, his clothes tattered and overworn. You smell burnt flesh, and in fact you begin smelling it from the whole room.*
<Christopher_Belmont>	What sort of witchcraft be this?
<DM>	*The being's face looks like it's been burned off and then carmelized, with veins almost hanging off his face, his cheeks turned inwards and charred black. His eyes are bloodshot and crusty, his hair nonexistent, and most of his lips missing, revealing a set of burned and broken teeth that remains in a fixed smile, one that brings no joy, only hatred.*
<DM>	<Christopher_Belmont> What sort of witchcraft be this?
*	Christopher_Belmont compares the new being to the creature he was carrying around
<DM>	*The new being doesn't look like the creature you're carrying around. The creature floating behind your back is less than 2 feet tall and does not wear a green tunic.*
<Christopher_Belmont>	Strange... Very well, who are you?
*	Christopher_Belmont remains cautious
<DM>	[???]: You... do not... know me?
<Christopher_Belmont>	I'm afraid not
<DM>	*The ice in the room begins to melt. The floor below you turns from ice to stone, and parts of it begin turning to fire. The atmospheric lighting in the room begins turning into a shade of red.*
<Harvey>	???
<Emilica>	IT'S A TRAP
*	Christopher_Belmont steps back from the growing flame
*	Emilica commits demicide
*	Harvey steps back from the flames
<Christopher_Belmont>	Damnit. I should have known
*	DM is unable to die from Emilica's demicide.
*	Christopher_Belmont looks around to see if the way they came is still open
*	Emilica commits suicide in attempt too commit demicide
<DM>	*Tears of blood start flowing from the being's eyes, and its smile (or what's left of it) grows wider.*
<Christopher_Belmont>	(bloody tears)
<DM>	*The way you came in is still unlocked, but it becomes engulfed entirely in flames.*
<DM>	(HAH)
<DM>	*You can't even see the door you came in from. All you see is fire that seems to bleed torwards the ceiling.*
*	Emilica is now known as Toasted
<Harvey>	What
*	Christopher_Belmont suddently hears this playing from out of nowhere: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU1ohPtuslc
<Harvey>	*'s happening
<DM>	[???]: But... I know you. I know you... why don't you know me?
<Christopher_Belmont>	It is me, or is some sort of song being played somewhere?
<DM>	*His voice seems to be turning more demonic and desperate as he speaks.*
<DM>	[???]: Was it you? Did YOU set me aflame?! Did you tear me family apart?! DID YOU?
<Harvey>	No.
<Harvey>	I didn't do anything like that.
<DM>	*The being notices the creature on Christopher_Belmont's back.*
<Harvey>	Oh?
<Christopher_Belmont>	I do not know who are or why you're attacking us.
<DM>	[???]: What... what have you done to her?!
<Harvey>	We found her in the state she is in.
<Christopher_Belmont>	I did nothing and I have tried my damndest to heal this poor thing and bring it back to good health
*	Toasted Emilica is still burnt from the flamey trap
<DM>	*The being's hands turn completely into fire, and you can feel the air itself begin to heat up and burn.*
<Christopher_Belmont>	not even the potions or the fairy I had would work on it
<DM>	[???]: LIES! ALL LIES! YOU'RE MINIONS OF GANONDORF, AND YOU MURDERED HER!
<Christopher_Belmont>	I'm sorry, but I tried everything I knew to heal it.
<Harvey>	No.
<Christopher_Belmont>	I do not know who this ganondorf is but I will defend myself if I have to.
<Christopher_Belmont>	No demon fights a Belmont and live to tell about it
<DM>	[???]: You RAIDED my village, our sacred forest, and BURNED me to this state!
<Christopher_Belmont>	YOU ARE MISTAKEN
<Christopher_Belmont>	I AM CHRISTOPHER BELMONT, OF THE BELMONT CLAN OF VAMPIRE HUNTERS. I WILL NOT BE THREATED OR INTIMIDATED BY THE LIKE OF YOU!
<Christopher_Belmont>	I FOUGHT COUNT DRACULA TWICE ALREADY AND I HAVE FOUGHT AGAINST MY FAIR SHARE OF DEMONS, YOU WILL BE JUST ANOTHER DEMON TO FALL TO THE MIGHT OF THE VAMPIRE HUNTER
<DM>	[???]: And yet you still don't recognize me.
<Christopher_Belmont>	BEHOLD THE MIGHT OF LEGEND!
*	Christopher_Belmont readies his Vampire Killer Whip
<Christopher_Belmont>	DIE MONSTER, YOU DON'T BELONG IN THIS WORLD
*	Harvey stands back
<DM>	[???]: YOU'RE THE MONSTER! YOU'RE THE ONES THAT DESTROYED ME, THAT DESTROYED THE FOREST, THAT DESTROYED MY SIBLINGS, AND NOW YOU CLAIM I AM A MONSTER!
<DM>	[???]: And when I burn you into an unrecognizable crisp, I'll be sure to send the same regards to Ganondorf!
<DM>	[???]: BURN!
<Christopher_Belmont>	WHEN I AM DONE WITH YOU, I'll MAKE SURE YOUR CORPSE IS SENT TO THE COUNT IN A SHOEBOX!

<Christopher_Belmont>	No Demon messes with a Belmont and lives to tell the tale
<DM>	*Err, to the north door, which leads to a room north of the Atrium.*
<DM>	(brb 1 minute)
<Harvey>	I say we should unlock that door on the North wall.
<Christopher_Belmont>	http://zurpg.sephiroth.ws/thread-276-post-559.html#pid559 christopher Belmont is now a level 11 Vampire Hunter
<Christopher_Belmont>	May god have mercy on that demon's soul
<Christopher_Belmont>	if you excuse me, I feel like I need to pray a prayer of thanks
*	Christopher_Belmont prays to his god, praising and thanking the Lord for their victory
<Harvey>	So, are we going to unlock the north door?
*	Christopher_Belmont stands back up and goes to the north door, using the key on it
<Christopher_Belmont>	Hallelujah!
<DM>	*The door clicks and unlocks from the bloodied key. The key itself dissolves in the blood it was soaked in.*
*	Christopher_Belmont walks into the doorway he just unlocked
<Christopher_Belmont>	*passageway
*	Harvey enters the newly unlocked north door
<DM>	*You enter the north door and end up in a small room with a treasure chest on the other side of it. The room itself is unfrozen, and in fact, it doesn't even look like it's part of the ice dungeon. The walls are round and made of wood, though the lighting in the room is minimal but enough to see the room.*
*	Christopher_Belmont opens the chest (or attempts to)
<DM>	*Even the floor is made of wood, like the center of a large tree.*
<DM>	(hang on)
<DM>	*You open the chest and find a Friendship Ring, a Red Joy Ring, a Blue Joy Ring, and a Gold Joy Ring. There's also a piece of paper beneath the rings.*
<Emilica>	(Wat)
<DM>	grab the rings here - http://zurpg.sephiroth.ws/thread-32-post-58.html#pid58 --> Rare Rings
*	Christopher_Belmont grabs the blue joy ring
*	Emilica takes none of the rings
*	Harvey takes the White Ring
*	Harvey takes the Gold Joy Ring
*	Christopher_Belmont grabs and examine the piece of paper
<DM>	*It seems to be a painting. You can see the Great Deku Tree in the background with a light smile, and in front of the grand tree are three Kokiri. A female and a male Kokiri have their arms in the air and are laughing as a surprised male Kokiri is in the air above. At the bottom-right of the painting is a note that says "My family. ^_^"*
<Christopher_Belmont>	I wonder if this picture has any significance
*	Christopher_Belmont passes the picture to Harvey
<Harvey>	hmmm...
<Harvey>	It is probably a shot of that Kokiri that we just fought.
<Harvey>	And his family.
*	Christopher_Belmont looks for a chair to sit down in, then promptly sits down and calms himself down a bit more. He's still slighty wound up over that battle with the burnt kokiri
<DM>	*There appears to be a bed on the left side of the room with no cusion of any sort.*
<Harvey>	Wait... wasn't this before the Great Deku tree died?
<Christopher_Belmont>	the great deku tree?
<Christopher_Belmont>	What is that and why is it important?
<DM>	*You see no sign of the New Deku Tree in the painting, only the Great Deku Tree, alive and healthy... old but still kickin'.*
*	Emilica hits Christopher_Belmont with a random book of history
*	Christopher_Belmont reads the book that Emilica threw at him
<Christopher_Belmont>	Interesting.
<Christopher_Belmont>	It would seem that either we are in some sort of mashed up place made of various time periods
<Harvey>	Maybe.
<Harvey>	Considering that this place hardly makes sense at times.
<Christopher_Belmont>	I have traveled through some rather bizzare places, included a cloud castle, a rock castle, a crystal castle and a plant castle, but this place takes that bizzareness to a whole new level
<DM>	*Well, you ARE in Shady's mind. What'd you expect?*
<Harvey>	Whatever it is, it happened before Ganondorf came and placed a curse on the old Great Deku Tree.
<Harvey>	Hell, I wasn't even in Hyrule when that happened.
*	Christopher_Belmont reflects on the events his previous adventure rather briefly (Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge)
<Christopher_Belmont>	I too was not in this Land when it all happened. This Link character sounds like someone I would like to meet
<Emilica>	Just be glad you didn't have to travel between two alternate dimensions
<Harvey>	Me too Chris
<Harvey>	Anyway, I think we need to get out of here.
<Christopher_Belmont>	Agreed
<Emilica>	Gotta go fast
*	Harvey holds the boss key up.
*	Christopher_Belmont stands up and walks out of the room
*	Emilica tries to run out, but trips over a Geodude
*	Harvey follows Emilica
*	Harvey trips over a random Ekans
*	Harvey follows Christopher_Belmont
*	Christopher_Belmont heads to the boss door in the atrium
<Christopher_Belmont>	Harvey, do you have the key for this door?
*	Emilica runs to where the others are at
<Harvey>	(Save point, DM?)
<Harvey>	Yeah, I do have the key.
*	Harvey puts the key into the boss-lock and twists it.
<DM>	(I'd like to finish this quest tonight, so.... expect it to end in 1 to 1.5 hours)
<DM>	*The lock on the door clicks, and the chains holding the lock in place unravel and fall to the floor. The door itself opens, and before you, you see nothing but an abyss of blackness.*
*	Emilica runs backwards and trips over the floor with style
<Christopher_Belmont>	Does anyone have a candle? I don't want to waste my last bottle of blue fire unless it's neccesary
<Harvey>	(When I meant save point, I meant do we heal and respawn back if we die?)
<Harvey>	I do.
<DM>	(you're about to enter the save point)
*	Harvey uses his candle to light up the room
<Harvey>	17h 6m
<DM>	*The candle tries desperately to light up the room ahead, but its own flame is hushed by the pure darkness.*
*	Harvey enters the door
<Harvey>	*cautiosuly
*	Emilica rolls into the next passageway/hallway/room/whatever
*	Harvey equips his hammer and shield.
<DM>	*You enter into the darkness, and all of your nerves and senses shut down, except for your hearing.*
*	Emilica dies from her nervous system being pretty much shut down
<DM>	*You somehow feel alive and know you're still alive.*
<DM>	*Christopher, do you enter the darkness?*
*	Christopher_Belmont follows into the room
<DM>	*With hearing being your own sense remaining in this void, you hear the door behind you shut.*
<DM>	*You hear a raspy voice, the same as the Kokiri you killed earlier.*
<DM>	[Kokiri]: Do you... know me?
<Harvey>	No.
<Christopher_Belmont>	Not this again
<Emilica>	I don't know someone named "Me"
<DM>	[Kokiri]: Then... would you like... to know?
<Harvey>	Yes please.
<Emilica>	But I do know someone named "Him"
<Christopher_Belmont>	Who are you and why did you attack us?
<DM>	[Kokiri]: Then... let me show you... my memories.
<DM>	*Your nerves come back to life as do your senses, though you're still engulfed in darkness.*
*	Christopher_Belmont remains standing
<DM>	*For a brief instant, you see an image of the burned Kokiri flash across your vision, cut in half and drenched in blood. The last phrase the Kokiri said "My friends" echoes briefly through your mind.*
*	Emilica dies again
*	Christopher_Belmont gets the idea to share his memories and tries to focus on his entire life story so far
<DM>	*Your attempt to share your memories is overrun by different memories.*
<DM>	*The room lights up. It's the same wooden room you were in earlier but furnished and filled with morning light from the windows. A sleeping Kokiri is lying in the bed when two Kokiri enter the room. They're the same ones you saw in the painting earlier that were throwing the other Kokiri into the air.*
<DM>	*You also notice that you're completely invisible. You can't even see your own bodies amidst the area.*
*	Christopher_Belmont decided to focus back on a painful memory of his: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4EvKR9ptac
<Christopher_Belmont>	maybe now you will understand who I am and why I had to defend myself against you
<DM>	*The two playful Kokiri snicker and place a seed on the sleeping one. The seed sprouts into a flower that tickles the sleeping Kokiri's face until he wakes up, startled from the prank.*
<DM>	*The Kokiri ignore your words, as if they can't hear you. Or, perhaps, they really can't.*
<DM>	*The three Kokiri laugh and head outside. The room turns to darkness and then immediately lights back up. This time, you're outside in the Kokiri Village. The short little fellows from around the village seem to be having a festival of some sort. You recognize a few of them - Saria, Mido, and Fran. You even see a dozey Hylian boy with no fairy at the edge of the party, about to pass out.*
<Christopher_Belmont>	If you will not let me explain myself then at least know this: I am not your enemy and I never did harm your friend, infact I tried to help your friend with my limited knowledge of medicene
<DM>	*The festival blacks out, and then you see parts of the village in flames. A darknut approaches one of the Kokiri and smashes his face against the face.*
<Harvey>	(We are not Darknuts. Darknut's can't possibly hide a tail like mine)
<Christopher_Belmont>	This is as painful as my own fight against my son, I didn't want to but I had no choice since the count possessed him.
<DM>	*smashes his face against the wall
<Harvey>	(Epic typo)
<DM>	(doh)
<DM>	*One of the three you saw from earlier, the one that was pranked, lies before you. He shivers as fear overtakes him entirely. A Wizzrobe of fire sees him and sets him ablaze.*
<Christopher_Belmont>	That memory of mine is still painful and I know how it feels to be hurt on the inside
<Christopher_Belmont>	every day, I wake up and wonder if I did the right thing
<DM>	*The burning Kokiri begins to transform into the one you saw earlier. He grovels in pain, and as he loses his sight, he begins running, running madly.*
<DM>	*The image fades out, and a new image appears, showing the Kokiri burned to a walking and smouldered remainder of what he once was. He slowly, painfully, wanders across the ground, until he falls into a tree with a hole in it.*
<Christopher_Belmont>	Even now, I still wonder if I did the right thing by fighting him. It doesn't matter if he survived it, It's still painful to think about.
<DM>	*You see the burning Kokiri fall, fall into darkness, much like the abyssal darkness engulfing the area you're in.*
<Harvey>	Well, I'm not sure if we would have survived if we didn't fight.
<DM>	*After a bit of time, the Kokiri falls from a red sky. You recognize this area - it's Subrosia, an underworld that is now connected to Hyrule by a portal.*
<DM>	*The Kokiri falls down and down and into the Temple of Seasons.*
<DM>	*The image fades again, and this time, you see the Kokiri on a bed of ice and surrounded by a ring of flames. Two floating beings, one with a red cloak and the other with a light blue cloak hover over the Kokiri.*
<Harvey>	(OOC: Fraaz and Blaaz)
<DM>	*The red one places a red, Subrosian cloak on the Kokiri, and the blue one summons a veil of darkness over the Kokiri's face.*
*	Christopher_Belmont wonders why the Kokiri's new form is familiar
<DM>	*The image fades again, and you see the Kokiri wearing a dark grey Subrosian cloak, trying to learn how to float like the red being and blue being. It trips around, and the two floating beings laughs a bit.*
<DM>	*The image fades again, and you see a new image, of the three beings holding hands. On the left is the red one, on the right is the blue one, and in the middle is the black one with an expression all too familiar - ^_^
<Harvey>	(Shady)
*	Christopher_Belmont suddently realises that the Kokiri in question is Shady
<DM>	*The image of the Kokiri you sliced in half earlier clips in once again several times. Now, before you, you see the black-hooded being sliced in half with blood everywhere.*
<Christopher_Belmont>	Sweet mother of Jesus!\
<Harvey>	Shady!
*	Emilica drools
<Christopher_Belmont>	What have we done.
<Christopher_Belmont>	God forgive
<Christopher_Belmont>	God forgive... us
*	Christopher_Belmont gets on the ground and begins to pray to his God for forgiveness
<DM>	*The images fade completely, and the hallway's darkness dissipates. A light passes over all of you, restoring all of you to full Hearts and Magic. A door with torches next to it lays before you.*
*	Emilica stops drooling and looks ahead
*	Harvey enters the door with the torches.
<Christopher_Belmont>	Dear Lord Almighty, Our holy Father in Heaven, I have sinned greatly and I ask for your forgiveness
*	Emilica rolls into the next roommehofepwgewiuft237fsjew8f32
*	Christopher_Belmont continues to pray for forgiveness
<DM>	*Christopher_Belmont, you hear the same voice from earlier when you killed the burned Shady - "My.... fri...e...n...d..s...."*
*	Christopher_Belmont stands up, with tears in his eyes
<Christopher_Belmont>	I must head on.
*	Christopher_Belmont wipes his eyes and tries to calm himself down, following the others into the next room
<Christopher_Belmont>	May god have mercy apon me.
*	Emilica gives Christopher_Belmont some tea
<DM>	*You head into the next room, which is completely black with white outlines showing the corners and creases in the room. Despite the room being completely black and white, you recognize the room to be room of the Master Sword. However, where the pedestal and sword would be, instead, a being of a purely grey color floats over it.*
<DM>	*All of you, as you enter the room, also turn into Black and White colors.*
*	Christopher_Belmont walks towards the being, still emotionally distraught over what he had done
<Harvey>	?
<Christopher_Belmont>	(chris isn't even watching where he's going)
*	Harvey examines the being from afar.
<DM>	*Chris, you bump into the grey being. It turns around and floats away from you.*
*	Christopher_Belmont notices that he just bumped into another person
<DM>	[???]: Have you come... to save me?
<Harvey>	Yes?
<DM>	*The being appears to be Shady but turned completely grey, save for the blackness of where his face should be and his eyes which glow white.*
<Christopher_Belmont>	I came here to save someone, but I ended up killing them instead
<Christopher_Belmont>	My sins have been greatly compounded
<DM>	*Green_Enrics, unbeknownst to the emotional rollercoaster that just occured, wanders into the room that engulfs everything inside of it into colors of Black and White.*
*	Green_Enrics wakes up from passing out. (That's how I withdrew last time, remember?)
<Christopher_Belmont>	Am I even worthy of the Belmont Name if I can't even save the person I tried to save
<Christopher_Belmont>	?
<DM>	(Green_Enrics, check your PMs)
<Christopher_Belmont>	I bet my ancestors are looking down apon me from heaven in shame in disbelief right now
<Christopher_Belmont>	I have failed.
<Green_Enrics>	Hey! Everybody messes up sometimes, no need to get so down about it. (Remember, this is basically a world where we beat the shit out of stuff.)
*	Emilica is away: AFK
<DM>	*Green_Enrics, you recall a sudden memory. You woke up inside of a treasure chest, and you found your General's Claws in that same chest. Drunkenly, you stumbled through the dungeon until you reached the Atrium, saw the charred Kokiri cut in half and turned into a bloody mess, stumbled over it, entered a hallway of darkness, got your Hearts and Magic back to full, and now in you're this room.*
<Green_Enrics>	Hmm
<Christopher_Belmont>	You don't realize do you. I HAD A HAND IN KILLING SHADY and it's my fault I didn't realize who he was until it was too late.
<Green_Enrics>	Well, look on the bright side
<Christopher_Belmont>	Am I a hero or just another monster?
<Green_Enrics>	Shady's a lovable bastard now.
*	GreyShady does not smile. In fact, it seems devoid of anything.
<GreyShady>	Can you not... save me?
*	Christopher_Belmont is deeply distraught over what he done
<Christopher_Belmont>	I tried, but I failed miserably.
<Christopher_Belmont>	I don't deserve your forgiveness
<GreyShady>	Oh. Then... I shall... not save... you.
<Green_Enrics>	Yes he does, gosh
<GreyShady>	Good... bye.
<Green_Enrics>	Jesus, will you two listen to me for a few seconds
*	GreyShady turns to Green_Enrics.
<GreyShady>	Can you... save me?
*	Christopher_Belmont turns to Green_Enrics
<Green_Enrics>	Think about it this way
<Harvey>	I can save you.
*	Emilica runs all over the place
<Green_Enrics>	If Chris didn't kill Shady when he was a Kokiri
*	GreyShady turns to Harvey.
<GreyShady>	O... kay.
<Green_Enrics>	He would've just live a boring life in the woods
<Green_Enrics>	But
<Green_Enrics>	When you died, and became a Poe
<Green_Enrics>	You became the merchant we all know and love
<Green_Enrics>	So by killing you
<Green_Enrics>	We actually saved you ffrom a boring life
<Green_Enrics>	So in theory
<Green_Enrics>	We just did save you
*	Christopher_Belmont attempts to calm down
<GreyShady>	O... kay.
*	Emilica watches as a hole rips from time and space
<Harvey>	Actually, Green, that did make sense.
*	Sephiroth kicks Emilica out the window.
*	Sephiroth has kicked Emilica from #zurpg (You have been kicked out the window and you landed on Kanye West. I'm happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but DM is the best troll of all time! «15,907»)
<DM>	(good god you know how to show up with inappropriate random kick lines, lol)
<GreyShady>	Then... if you... save me... then I... will save... you.
<Harvey>	Yes.
<Christopher_Belmont>	I am sorry for what I done, can you give me a second chance? A second chance to set right what went wrong?
<GreyShady>	I hope... you can... save yourselves... from me.
<GreyShady>	Second... chance. O... kay.
<Harvey>	(Is Shady actually going to fight us?)
*	GreyShady holds his hands at the party. You feel the air around you try to choke you briefly.
<GreyShady>	Let me... save you.

<Emilica>	(Man, you people are slow)
<DM>	(I am blind. And that explains how my mind works for a text-based game.)

*	Christopher_Belmont gives Shady a firm but not painful bearhug
<Christopher_Belmont>	What?
<Shady>	Just kidding!
<Harvey>	?
<Shady>	^_^
<Shady>	Hmm... what did happen, I wonder?
<Shady>	I think... my friends saved me. That's what!
<Shady>	... hm?
<Christopher_Belmont>	It's good to see you back to your normal self. Anyways could you be so kind as to get us out of here?
<Harvey>	I meant what happened before.
*	Shady sees the creature that's still floating behind Christopher_Belmont.
<Shady>	... is that... Fraaz?
<Christopher_Belmont>	I bet my wife is beginning to worry about me.
<DM>	*Shady's eyes light up.*
*	Emilica gets back up
<Shady>	FRAAAAAAAAZ
<Christopher_Belmont>	She isn't doing too well, I tried every medicinal trick I knew to heal her.
<Shady>	Huh? She's not?
<Shady>	... she's not... dying... is she?
<Christopher_Belmont>	She isn't dying but at the same time she isn't getting better
<Green_Enrics>	Wait, I didn't hear about this person either
<Shady>	But... she's alive!
<Christopher_Belmont>	it's like she's stuck in a wierd state of suffering and I wish I could help her better
<Green_Enrics>	(Either that or I wasn't paying attention.)
<Green_Enrics>	(Probably the latter.)
*	Christopher_Belmont places Fraaz on the ground, examining her wounds again
<Shady>	I thought sis killed her... *tears start falling from Shady's yellow, glowing eyes* ... I'm so glad... so glad she's still alive!
<Christopher_Belmont>	There has to be something we can do
<Shady>	Wait, where are we?
<Christopher_Belmont>	We seem to be in some sort of wierd place..
<Harvey>	We seem to be in some illogical place.
<Shady>	Wierd and illogical... it must be my mind.
<Harvey>	Probably so.
<Green_Enrics>	We seem to be in a place where we jynx eachother
*	Green_Enrics smacks Harvey and Christopher_Belmont upside the head
*	Shady faceplants into the wall, but his face seems to phase through the wall. After a short bit, he turns back around to you all.
<Christopher_Belmont>	There has to be something we can do for her.
<Harvey>	My friend Hal has been in a dungon created by your illusions, correct?
<Christopher_Belmont>	I been looking after "fraaz" ever since I found her
<Shady>	Yeah, I know Hal... I think I killed him once... BUUUT THAT'S besides the point.
<Shady>	Okay, I got this....
<Christopher_Belmont>	This adventure has given me the strength to face my own doubt about my past decisions
<Harvey>	(O_O The only time Hal was actually defeated was in Identity Thieves)
*	Shady points at the wall opposite the way you came in. The wall warps in on itself, and it turns into a portal. You can see Shady stuck in Monochrome Eclipse outside.
<Shady>	Hmm... this explains a lot.
<Green_Enrics>	That leaves one question, guys.
<Green_Enrics>	How the hell did I get here?
<Shady>	... I'm tempted to answer that question, but I find it funnier keeping it to myself, Green.
<Shady>	ONWARDS!
<Christopher_Belmont>	Thank you Shady, without this event I would have never become a better or more confident man and I would still be in the shadows of doubt itself
*	Emilica stays there looking at the bloodied mess she left behind
<Green_Enrics>	Meanwhile, my husband's probably busy playing super hero or something. (Ambrosia lol)
*	Shady dives straight out of the portal and disappears as he comes into contact with the Monochrome Eclipse. A moment later, the Eclipse fades, and Shady revives to his lively self.
<Christopher_Belmont>	thank you.
<Shady>	Come 'ere, folks!
*	Christopher_Belmont heads to where Shady is
*	Harvey stands next to Shady
*	Green_Enrics follows the crew
<DM>	*As the Eclipse fades, time around Fraaz resumes. She's faint, but she's alive.*
*	Emilica runs towards the others
<DM>	*You all head outside of Shady's mind, as is Fraaz (pushed out). You find yourselves back in the Training Ground, in the evening.*
<Green_Enrics>	You know, if this Fraaz person needed medical attention
<Green_Enrics>	Why didn't you just tell me?
*	Emilica faceplants onto the ground
<Green_Enrics>	I've had minimal medical training by when I was a Darknut Recruit
<DM>	(Her time was frozen by Shady's own Monochrome Eclipse, which is his signature move which freezes time.*
<DM>	(Now that her time has resumed... she can be healed.)
<Green_Enrics>	Emilica, you lovable bastard!
<Christopher_Belmont>	again, thank you Shady.
*	Green_Enrics tosses Emilica around
<Shady>	Quickie quickie, healy the Fraazy!
<Shady>	Your welcome Chris! And thank you too! ^_^
*	Emilica gets tossed into a random area
<Green_Enrics>	Honestly, I'm kinda shocked that you people actually got so emotional over death....
<Green_Enrics>	THen again
<Harvey>	(Rewards for the fight?)
<Harvey>	(Exp, Rupees, etc.)
<Green_Enrics>	I was a Darknut General, so the death of my comrads was incredibly common..
<DM>	*You all get +60 EXP and +500 Rupees each!*
<Christopher_Belmont>	I myself almost lost my son due to the Count possessing him, so I at least know what the brink of death looks like
<Shady>	Well, let's get Fraazy to an inn!
*	Shady hauls Fraaz over to the North Inn.
<Green_Enrics>	And I know what death itself looks like
<Green_Enrics>	To put it simply
<Green_Enrics>	I'm not afraid of Death
*	Emilica slaps Green_Enrics
<DM>	*Yet you're afraid of Gleeoks.*
*	Christopher_Belmont follows Shady
*	Harvey follows Shady
*	Green_Enrics punches straight through the fourth wall, and hit the DM. (Roll Power)
