[09:21] Closed Mine Entrance: Before you was what appeared to be an entrance to a mine. . .but it appeared a cave in had happen. It was also boarded up, rather recently too. On it was a small sign:

        DANGER - DO NOT ENTER!

A single SOLDIER sword would remain nearby, with two wisps floating around it - as if sharing some form of dance with one another. The feeling of hope and joy would be felt from them. Even if one tried to take the sword it. . .would feel stuck. Whatever had happen to the sword, it didn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. . .

 [ACTIONS: good bye  ]

[09:21] Closed Mine Entrance: You found your mind clearing; focusing. Everything being crystal clear. . .then, an image within your mind's eye came to be! It was a scene underwater, with just enough moon light pouring in to let you see what was within. You'd see a woman in red, her ashen hair slowly floating about her in the water; her eyes closed and a smile on her features. She was hugging what seemed to be a tree with a face - along with a SOLDIER helmet ontop of it, and a branch that seemed to be wrapped up in gauze. It might of been the moon light, but you could swear the mouth of the tree was. . .smiling. . .


(ACTIONS: good bye)

[09:22] Ace made his way WITH Ravin, despite the player's small idle in the lobby~

[09:22] Ravin kneels down slowly infront of the mine. It was all closed off now. He touched the dirt. Looking over at the spirits nearby.

[09:24] Ace may have stuck around last night and ensure the operation to close off the mine went unhindered, he probably already paid his respect and chose to leave the sword there, for now...

[09:25] Ravin exhaled deeply. "...I am really glad...to have made the call to pull her out..." He looked at the mine quietly, then to the sword. Sliding his ski mask off.

[09:26] Ace: "Given how things turned in there, I am definitely glad /you/ were there to do so. Otherwise, I would've had to chose between helping the others evacuate- and her. You spared me that and I'm grateful for it"

[09:27] Ravin would nod at Ace quietly. "...It was the least I could do...considering I distrusted her...I did not know if Emily was alive or not truly; When the real one had shown up I had felt such guilt riddle me." He slid his mask into the mag release bag on his right hip. Focused on the sword and the spirits. "...I could leave it like that...I don't think I could have forgive myself."

[09:29] Ace smiles a tad to that. "Now they both can rest, knowing they completed their mission to the fullest." he says quietly. "I'll make sure to make a memorial for them, their efforts won't be forgotten."

[09:31] Toshi walks up to the gravesite and goes to pay his respects. giving a one handed prayer and closing his eyes. "The Guardians have seen them to rest....well...A Guardian..." he opens his eyes looking to the sword. "I may not be as strong as the others, but i have the spirit like one." watching the spirits dance around the sword he smiled joyfully.

[09:32] Ravin stands up slowly next to Ace. He focused on the caves a moment longer. Toshi approaching he gave a little nod, then looked to the closed cave a moment longer. He swallowed the lump in his throat. Giving one final salute. Turning from the cave and breathing out deeply. "...How is Kanu doing in all this? I worked with her a bit near the end of it all."

[09:34] Ace: "She was involved from the start- She is..." he pauses, thinking for the right word to say "A little disappointed, to not have seen it through to the end. I've given her an update, but if you wish we can try to report to her together when we see her."

[09:34] Ace also nods toward Toshi having his winter coat- or so he thought :U

[09:37] Toshi is very white and fluffy and shiny and snow colored. "I wish i could see how Kanu is doing, think you can let her know i hope she's doing well too?" still staring into the sword as he spoke.

[09:38] Ravin would nod at Ace. "...I don't know what Kanu thinks of me...I met her a few times during the mission and we had drastically polarizing viewpoints... As soon as we met Emily I doubted her...The front Journal said Emily Crow and then Emily Willow...Once we dug deeper, it was hard to tell fact and fiction...above all else...The swords seemed like a key... The fact the King could control the undead I had already made up in my mind Emily was a potential threat and may have needed to be eliminated... Kanu did not share this viewpoint... This influenced my action to shoot Emily on the ramparts, which turned out to be Sombra in the end..." He drew out a low breath. "...Kanu did not give up on her... And I have to apologize for that...personally..."

[09:41] Ace: "Originally Emily Crow and Thomas Willow were unrelated- but they bonded on mission and got married down the way. That's why there were confusing points on the matter." he explains to Ravin. "Emily was cursed with the undead and following that she purposefully locked Dreader- the King, out of the realm of Reino. Thomas- Marth, was to stay at the tower and see its end. Which he did." he details. "You will have a chance to tell her in person", he says to Ravin first, then to Toshi "I'll pass the word."

[09:43] Ravin smiles. "...I know through writing, that is what it was...But the books specify deception and lies. There was no promise from the beginning that was truly Emily. The barrier needed to come down to bring the halves of the king back together... The crystal inside powering it, with or without Emily's aid in the end...After everything came together and I saw Emily thrown from the Tower and then I was...Mako started to fall... I knew I owed it to myself...and to Kanu to make it right for Emily again..." He blew out a bit of air, feeling better to let it all out. "I'll personally tell Kanu my apology... I owe her that."

[09:45] Toshi smiles to Ravin and Ace. 'You trusted your gut. and I trusted you. you did the research and you have a good head on your shoulders." he looks to the sword. "And if you ask me, an even better heart."

[09:47] Ace grins lightly and gestures to Toshi as he seems to say /exactly/ what Ace said only an hour earlier. For what it meant. He'd glance back to Ravin then. "I understand how you feel, I do. It's good to stay alert, and have the right amount of paranoia lingering over your mind. But you made it right when it mattered most. She can rest in peace thanks to /you/"

[09:49] Ravin there was a long pause at what Ace said. The Wolf looked down at the ground, then to the caves slowly. A few bit of tears well near his eyes, staining his cheeks. He was silent a long moment as the wind of the wasteland blew by and for a moment he could have sworn he saw something. His mismatched eyes searching the caves and near the sword.  He drew his gloved hand back to his face and pushed his hand there to clean it. "...I'm ready to go back..." He aid back to Ace and Toshi.

[09:51] Toshi smiles to him and looks to the sword, offering one more prayer to them. his tail swaying behind him happily. "Seems they are as happy as you are to be together." closing his eyes as a light green mist flows from his muzzle before it stops. extending his right hand out as if to bless the sword with energy of the mind. "See you in the next life you two, hope your together in that one too." moving over towards Ravin to try to pat him on the shoulder. Ace as well if able.

[09:53] Ace did not threaten to send Toshi to the moon- he only is an ass when the fox does a dumb- which can be fairly often, but he would let Toshi shine in his 'better' moments without a doubt. He offers a small nod to the both of them. "I expect people will come and visit here for a while- however that sword will return to the Division after a few days." he states quietly "Let's return, then"

[09:54] Closed Mine Entrance: Slowly, you pull yourself away from the closed Mine Tunnel and sword with wisps about it. As you did, for a brief moment you'd swear you saw something. The two wisps around the sword had changed. For a brief second, you could of sworn to see a woman in a red SOLDIER uniform and a young man in a blue third class uniform; waving at you. Then it was gone, and you'd see just the wisps. Maybe it was best to get yourself checked out. Either way, you take your leave.

[09:57] Ravin does one final look back. Swearing he saw something. He gave a little smile. Following after Ace and Toshi. There was no doubts now- It wasn't often there was a Good Ending in these stories, but every once in awhile... There could be. It made Ravin feel happy. The tears were not sad ones, but of satisfaction and a job well done.
