Location: In front of Wave Sweeper
ΦStanding outside of Maple, coughs, and then says, "Representing Aplos. Maple, Willow, and the cutest Suzuka."
Willow, looking at Maple, says, "Am I not cute?"
Maple flicks him on the forehead and then she continues on, "Representing the beastkin Dumnorix, Abbán and the Dumnorix, and finally returning to their homeland, Iancu, Avaram, Ivana, Gheroghe, and Wadim!"
They all wave excitedly, and then Maple says, "Also, both Cyrus and Elia will be joining all of us on this adventure."
Cyrus slouches and hands his head low, so Elia beside him says, "Keep your back straight, and look forward. You're coming for protection, don't be such a baby."
"RIGHT!"
Pointing at Abbán and Dumnorix, Iancu says, "Hey, is it a good idea to bring the beastkin? Wouldn't it be bad to expose the fact that they have reappeared in the world so openly?"
Avram responds, "We can just tell people they are nightmares like us, that would be far more believable than beastkin walking around, and it's not like most modern people even know what they look like. Besides, we're only bringing Abbán and Dumnorix, it should be fine."
Dumnorix, turning to Abbán, says, "You hear that Abbán, we finally get to see the outside world for the first time. This is a historic time for the beastkin, and as my right man, it's your job to walk with me down the path to supremacy! TO BE THE GREATEST IN ALL CREATION!"
As he speaks, light from the heavens shines down on him, and Iancu says, "Maybe we should have left that one back here. Please keep an eye on him, Abbán."
Everyone's eyes follow Iancu's words and land on Abbán, and as they do, they see him shaking like a tremor is going on inside his body. "Dumnorix, calm down and stop acting so ridiculous."
Avram, shocked by this, says, "Abbán, are you ok?"
"Of course I am, just some nerves. It is my first time leaving the land."
Elliot, walking behind him, gives him some tea and says, "Have some of this."
Abbán, grabbing the cup, starts to shake it, but as his mouth slurps the liquid, his body instantly comes to a halt, and a refreshed expression appears on his face as he says, "Delicious!"
Maple, moving over to Elliot, says, "What did you give him?"
"Drugs."
"What?"
"You see, my lady Dush always used to have to random moments of fright, so we had to start putting her medicine in her tea to be able to apply it constantly."
"Does it work for kids as well, like me?"
Patting Maple on the head, Willow says, "I don't need you becoming addicted to some strange drug!"
"Stop being such a spoilsport sport Willow!"
Abbán, looking at Eliot, says, "Are you not coming as well as part of the delegation?"
"Know I will be remaining here. Unlike most of you, my face is well known enough, and the location of the kids of Skydust is something I would rather keep a secret."
As the thoughts and anxieties from everyone around start to flow into Suzuka's head, she freezes and lowers it.
Then, from her side, she hears, "Do you want to see the stars?"
Looking over, she sees Iancu, and then in that same moment, he activates his legacy and releases all of the gravity around her, making her float high into the air away from everyone.
"Put me down!"
"I am just returning a dumb rock like you, where you belong right up in space." Iancu's inverts the gravity, sending her flying up even faster.
Suzuka makes a worried expression, but once she reaches a certain distance above the ground, all of the thoughts and voices in her mind cease, and all around her, she feels peace and quiet.
As Iancu stares at her with a relieved expression, he smiles, and then, from behind, he feels immense softness.
"Boobs? No, it can only be Orb."
He flicks his head back to strike Orb, and says, "What did I say about hugs?"
Looking at Orb, Iancu sees he has a giant bag of things on his back, but his eyes and attention instantly focuses on Orb's hair.
Up till now, it had just either been a giant messy swarm of thick white snow-like hair or a short version of that. But now his hair is still the same thickness, but his hair is moving in a backwards direction. While its shape could be considered to be a spike, it feels more like the mass of his hair is now pointing directly backwards while keeping its same amalgamated snow-like feel. Not slicked back but merely flowing like how one can feel the direction of motion on an avalanche. In front of his hair, his bangs are made up of his snowlike with two thick strands at the side of his forehead that continue down to his chin, which he holds and plays with.
And upon seeing Orb's hair, Iancu says, "It's like you put a furry two-tailed creature on the back of your head, with its tails being in your front."
"So what. I like my new hairstyle, and I plan on keeping it. Bleh!" Orb says, sticking out his tongue.
Standing in front of everyone, Orb says, "Now let's head off to Blestemate!"

As they fly through the air on Wave Sweeper, Maple stares at Iancu, who is tied to the ground, and says, "So he can't move or this entire thing will go down right?"
Orb beside her says, "Yeah, Iancu here is our little guardian angel."
"But why is he tied up?"
"Because the little vampire has anger issues, so he might jump up and his legacy will lose contact, then we would all fall to our deaths."
As Iancu stares over his body, he sees the two siblings talking and eating bread over his face, and as the crumbs fall on him, he screams and says, "DO YOU TWO LACK BRAINS!"
Flicking Iancu in the forehead, Orb says, "You shouldn't say mean things to potential friends like Maple."
Maple says, "It's fine where already friends."
"I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND!"
Turning to face Maple, Orb says, "You see this. It's how you were when you pretended not to like your father."
Maple throws a punch which Orb dodges, and she says, "You really know how to push my buttons!"
Maple tries to strike Orb, but he just dances around her.
And as he does, Suzuka, looking down on Iancu, says, "HELLO!"
"GET AWAY FROM ME!"
Stuffing her tails into his face, Suzuka says, "This is what you deserve, you bully."
Willow, grabbing her by the back, says, "Suzuka no. It isn't nice to attack the weak."
"But he deserves it."
"No one deserves that."
Iancu, moving on the floor, says, "Did you just call me weaker than her?"
"Suzuka is a physical monster."
Suzuka, pushing Willow away, says, "You don't compliment another woman, you have a wife!"
"Don't worry. As far as I am concerned, you're no different than our little pet."
Suzuka strikes him and says, "You're asking for it as well!"
On the ground, he smiles and says, "Random acts of violence are just like an animal. You truly are adorable, Suzuka."
Maple, looking at them, says, "Are those two closer?"
"Well, I paired them up during the farming competition. Because I want your husband and friends."
Maple glares at me, and then looks at them with a smile, saying, "That's cute. Now go get in between both of them."
"You jealous little girl."
"PLEASE COME DOWN!" Cyrus's voice shouts into the distance.
All of us, except Iancu, run out to the main deck of Wave Sweeper.
Wave Sweeper is a ship with its main base being in the back, and from that large back compartment, two long prongs come out that and join together and then form a front deck.
On the very edge of that front deck, standing on one of the guard rails all around the front deck to keep everyone safe, stands Dumnorix, who stares into the distance and says, "I have finally conquered the sky, I have finally pierced the heavens themselves."
He points his finger up, and from the sky, light descends onto him.
"Where did that even come from? None of the pixies are around!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" he laughs as he poses teetering on the edge with Cyrus standing behind him, frightened.
"Please get down."
As the ship shakes in the air, Dumnorix says, "I refuse. It is my job to lead the way and be a guiding light for everyone."
Avram, walking up to Dumnorix, taps him on the back, and Dumnorix responds, "Yes, Captain, what do you demand of the greatest in all creation?"
Avram whacks him on the head.
-Break-
Tied up on the ground beside Iancu, Dumnorix says, "Let me go, my captain, it is my job to illuminate our path forward."
"Shut and sit still."
From behind everyone, Abbán enters and says, "What is the fool doing?"
Turning around, Orb says, "Trying to have fu-. Abbán, are you ok?"
Looking at Abbán Orb sees he is covered in countless layers of clothes, and he says, "Why are you dressed like that?"
"If we fall from the sky, it will allow me to survive."
Iancu says, "If this ship crashed from the sky, there is a zero percent chance any of us are surviving at this height. Instant death."
Abbán starts to shake, and Avram puts his foot on his son's face, and then Orb says, "But you're a Nord dragonfly, remember your body is made out of rubber, so even if all of us die, you will be fine."
Abbán calms down, and Willow says, "I don't like the implication that all of us dying is ok."
"Shh! It's a lie anyway, sharp parts of the ship and the explosion caused by the crash will burn and pierce him anyway."
Abbán starts to shake again, and Dumnorix says, "You see, this is why I want to give everyone the confidence that I am leading the way!"
Avram, holding his head, says, "Orb, I don't really have time to deal with this, so can you figure out a way to distract them both?"
"I will be on it."
Rubbing Orb's head, Avram takes off, and then Orb says, "Something to occupy their minds!"
"Oh, I have got it right here."
Orb runs out and quickly runs back in, then says, "A soulbook!"
Maple, clapping her hands, says, "You want to see everyone's legacy of Dumnorix and Abbán right?"
"Exactly."
Getting in front of both of them, Orb opens the book and says, "You have to fill it up with spirit energy, and then you activate your legacy on it, allowing you to see what it can do."
Dumnorix, looking at the boo,k says, "How was such a thing even created? Feels quick, overly specific."
Orb turns his head to Suzuka, who says, "In Seirei and the Eastern continent, there is such a thing called spiritual mapping used to predict futures. We found out that the same technology could be used for soulbooks."
Orb holding the book says, "When used, it takes up pages, and gives us information. To go through what we have so far, we have my legacy Setanta, which grants me his Regalia Fimbulwinter to create ice and snow as well as all of his beastkin traits."
Willow, confused, says, "His ability didn't have a name last time?"
"You're right. When I activated my legacy on the book after gaining some more information, it gave me the name of his ability. It seems the more you know, the more you receive."
Cyrus has Azi Dahaka, a legacy that allows him to control and manipulate darkness, we are currently unsure what adaptations it gives him. Suzuka's legacy, Tamamo no Mae, allows her to store spirit energy from herself, and that which she absorbs in the form of tails.
Iancu's is a force messiah Capricorn that allows him to control forces, and he has physical changes to be extremely sensitive to changes in forces and perfectly gauge them. Maples is Vector Messiah Sagittarius, it allows her to speed and slow things down, and her eyesight has become significantly superior. Now Dumnorix and Abbán, let's get to both of you."
