WORLD OF LIGHT (TRUE END)

[soulping]

[ There is a sound, like stars being born in the night, of butterflies' wings, growing, louder and louder. Lights form, coalesce, shaped like that butterflies, growing and growing, lengthening, in bursts, with every word, with every memory, with the joy of song and the love behind each effort. They change shape—a tiny green rooster, a purple snake, yellow piglets, cream cats frolicking, louder and brighter and bigger and bolder, blue horses that rear on their back legs, coming together, coalescing, forming and reforming, holding back the darkness, until finally…. It's almost blinding, enough to bring tears, but most certainly the shape of a very magenta, fifty-foot eagle.

An eagle that shrieks, piercing the darkness as it soars in a circle, bringing back the light to the world and lifting the broken bits back to their rightful places. Glowing sparks like fire flecks fly off its feathers, and as it passes through you—each and each and each of you, in turn—you can feel its love. Its gratitude. Growing with each person it touches, giving and receiving, a chain of light tying you all together running off its tail feathers, until it feels like this whole heart is about to burst. If you were injured or blighted or hurt in anyway before now—you are not anymore. And if you were sad, feeling guilty, or overwhelmed—it circles you once, twice, bestowing on you feelings of love and forgiveness and understanding.

You hear it, Roc's voice, in your mind, in your heart: ]

Thank you. You give me back myself. My strength.

[ It then wheels itself around, smacking straight into the gate keeper and the moth, severing the two: the former, purified, the latter, withering away, as she remembers the most important lessons taught to her by all her precious friends here. ]

No.

[ She wipes the back of her fist of her bloodied arm—human again—across her face to wipe away the tears as she lifts her leg up. ]

I should have never listened to you. This is my place. These are my friends. You can't make me hurt them, or me--and you don't belong here!

[ She stomps down, flattening the remains of the tiny monster underneath her foot with such force that bits of it split and float off. ]


[ She turns to you all, sniffling, but smiling. ]

Thank you. I'm so sorry you all had to see that.

[ There's a small, awkward pause— ]

I hate to ask, but… if you could all do me one last favor and remove these bits of mask—

[ She gestures at the remains, which, in all that eagle-tastic glory have somehow been collected and deposited neatly into a single green bug cage ]

—so they don't ever trouble this place again…. Then I can take you to the True Heart, and you can go home.

[ AND IF THERE'S ANYONE STILL CRYING, she's coming over to give them a great, big, hug. ]

[ He'll pull away that last bit of mask off of her and just give her a warm smile. He isn't good at hugging still, sorry. He's just really happy to see her back to herself again. Or at least beating all of that. ]

Re: WORLD OF LIGHT (TRUE END)

[withmyownfists]

[ NOPE, you're getting a hug too. ]

Re: WORLD OF LIGHT (TRUE END)

[sweatypalms]

[ .......PHEW. thank god.

he wasn't crying, and twenty other people are hugging her right now, so he'll stand back like an awkward duck. times like these are the best to suddenly be shy.

but mask removal, he can do that!! ]

[withmyownfists]

[ if you think you're getting out this heart without being hugged, you are SORELY MISTAKEN, as soon as all these other people are done with her, she's coming for you. ]

Re: WORLD OF LIGHT (TRUE END)

[unlimitedcoffee]

[ He'll be joining those with the mask removal, but he's giving her another half ruffle. ]

Thanks for trusting us here, kiddo.

Re: WORLD OF LIGHT (TRUE END)

[withmyownfists]

It's easy to trust when I have good friends like you all.

Re: WORLD OF LIGHT (TRUE END)

[feytality]

[not only is she joining in the hugs, if someone is not joining in the hugs (looking at you, grumpy jerks), she's going to grab them and drag them into it]

[ THERE YOU ARE, she's been looking for you. Maybe you were trying to do the job she asked to be done, but now you are being swept up into one, huge, ginormous, big bear hug. ]

Yukine.

Re: WORLD OF LIGHT (TRUE END)

[ladychapels]

[ only putting a token amount of resistance into being pulled into the hug; she ruffles Hiyori's hair with the flat of her palm. for this, she'll afford a smile. ]

Hey. Our "light" has come back.

I MISSED THIS, why, how, it's so cute. sorry jay, coming back to this

[withmyownfists]

Only because you gave it back. After all, you're all mine.
