For those who knew her, Alexstrasza is no longer a captive of this place. She has been returned to her own world. [ Nothing else is said after that, the journal is put aside but not closed.

If anyone looks for him they will find him out under Alexstrasza's tree, content to simply remain in the comfort it provides. ]

[It's so stupid to not be able to believe this, but... she kind of can't.

Rin swallows hard around the lump in her throat, not even knowing what to say. She was supposed to get training and guidance from Alexstrasza and now the Life-Binder is gone. So what now? Just carrying on, like usual?

She supposes so.]

[aviarius]

[ Come here Rin... He'll be your fran. Sort of. Kind of. Annoy him enough and you'll get there eventually. ]

[Hnnnnn... ;A;]

... What should we do now?

dragonsworn;

[aviarius]

What we vowed to do in the beginning.

But she isn't here to teach us.. the full extent of our powers...

[aviarius]

[ Rin... don't cry... ]

We will have to learn through trail and error, it will be slow but there is no other way. And we cannot let her absence stop us.

[She hears all the time people saying that it's for the best when others go home. But this feels terrible. :'(]

Isn't there anyone else...?

dragonsworn;

[aviarius]

[ He knows. It feels terrible for him too, but being the man that he is it is difficult for others to see it.

He's silent for a moment, losing himself in thought. There is Nozdormu, whom he spoke to earlier, but he is the Aspect of Time not Life. There is no telling if the great dragon could help them. ]

I cannot say for sure.

I'm sure that we can figure stuff out... but to take full advantage of what she endowed us with, well, I thought we'd be able to study with her...

[Maybe it was stupid to even count on that much, here.]

dragonsworn;

[aviarius]

[ A faint sigh. ]

As did I.

dragonsworn;

[payback]

This stinks.

dragonsworn;

[aviarius]

[ It really does. He doesn't openly agree however, choosing instead to frown a little at the ground underneath him. Cursed place. ]

dragonsworn;

[payback]

[She lapses into her own silence as well. Brooding, yes. One of her many sins.]

...What will you do?

dragonsworn;

[aviarius]

[ It is a sin he shares with her. ]

Continue moving forward, it is all I can do.

dragonsworn;

[payback]

Did she have the chance to teach you to do anything with your powers? Or did you figure anything out yourself? Do you have any ideas for another teacher?

dragonsworn;

[aviarius]

No she did not, what little I know is a result of my own meddling. As for another teacher, truthfully I do not know however I am planning on looking into it.
