Death by the hand of man, death by Originium, death by Catastrophe.

These are the stories of 'Amiya', which she has chosen to show her new friend. Perhaps in gratitude for the kindness that Nymph has shown.

At the same time, she has also brought Nymph's journey to a close.

This is a moment that all storytellers must face.

Blindly seeking the end, when both imagination and inspiration have run dry.

And finally, meeting their own end.

Emitting a warm light, the white cocoon embraces the Storytellers gently. Amiya had done so before they even realized it.

Like a little languidness before an afternoon nap, drawing one into slumber.

After that, nothing ever changes again.

Sorrow is terminated. Joy is perpetual. Even death has been exiled from the stories.

'Originium' black as night slowly clings on and fixes it in place, ensuring that no external force may affect the story anymore.

In the infinite sea of time, such affixed narratives revolve around their terminator like moons, witnessing more and more stories join their ranks.

Yet...

Amiya silently gazes upon the half-sealed story.

There are only human-shaped holes where Nymph's group once was.

Their duty fulfilled, they may return to where they came from.

Only the narratives that have been affixed continue to revolve around Amiya.

With their tellers gone, these fables will never come to an end, and so the suffering within will never come.

But just as the storyteller has no power over the story, the story is also powerless with regard to the storyteller.

They may leave, but Amiya will always remain in this void, as part of the story.

She casts her gaze to the distance.

Perhaps, somewhere far beyond her reach...

There is another one, another story, another search for the end.

One who overcame countless challenges, defeated countless foes, and received a message from afar in the final moments before the end.

An image formed from emotion. The subject of the image is familiar.

She had wanted to save everything, but all she could do was watch as suffering closed in on that person.

Yet the one in her mind had broken all bonds and now stands before the end.

She is glad, and asks for nothing, except to give her blessings.

This is what she wants to communicate.

Hopefully, that one will be willing to reply this message, before everything comes to an end.

Let it be the final word on this page.

If you are tired, close your eyes and rest a while. I will be with you.;I'm sorry, Amiya. I wish there was something I could do for you.;(Silence)

Ouchie...

Where am I?

The Soul Furnace. In Kazdel.

Tin Man?

What happened earlier? Something... doesn't seem right here?

Didn't you promise to tell the forge's revenants an even better story? That you'd make a much more exciting Kazdel?

Now, they've handed us the pen.

Let loose, Nymph. Begin here, in our most-familiar furnace.

Take out all the thoughts inside your head, and place the Sarkaz on this land with a dramatic flair none have ever seen.

Make these old souls curious, startled, furious, happy.

Let their scorched souls experience again the taste of life.

The furnace is calm. Not a trace of the revenants' burnt pain and anger can be felt inside.

They are not here.

But Nymph can feel them gathering together, watching, discussing, arguing.

Let's wait for everyone to wake up, and then we'll go.

I'll go see what's ahead.

Don't stray too far.

Mhm, I'll be careful.

This story begins with the Sarkaz waking up in the heart of Kazdel.

There is no heavy past, nor hopeless future.

Nothing has happened, nothing has ended.

And so, they prepare to leave the furnace, headed towards an unknown yet to be told.

The story turns to a new page.
