Chaldean Chronicles: Cadence of the Lostgrail - 〚🌊

"Goodness, you're gloomy."

And as promised, on the queen's crystal palace resort, the foreign guests staying over are--- @Game Ping 2

Lucius stood by a table causally with a wrap around his neck as he turned to face the group who entered “Congratulations.” Lucius began clapping

Hermes got up from his lounge chair and also began clapping. “Congratulations.”

Well the idol was chilling on a sun chair sipping on a nonalcoholic pinacolada with sunglasses on. She was honest to god having such a vibe as she hummed out some niiiice cheery lyrics about hopes, dreams, love, and friendship. "Oh hey everyone, nice of you all to join us~! Viva la France~!"

Standing there among the others that had died was Fie a smile on her face as the team came victorious over BB. She turned and faced the group. "Congratulations." Like Lucius she began clapping as well.

... Her Eyes went wide. They're.. here? Hah.. Haha.. Ah man, she's tearing up. That's just Cruel.

"Hey, you guys are fine after all!"

4:12 PM

4:13 PM

~~has never had a single thought this entire time~~

“Why are you crying master Veronique? They are alright, shouldn’t you be happy?”

"Veeeeeee, want a hug darling~?"

"I really thought we lost them for a moment!" Wiping her eyes, she's so glad. They're alive, right? It's no trick right? It's all alright, right?? "..I-I'll.. take a hug."

"Oy, it's not fair to have people waiting, now is it?!" He said, fully smiling. They made it through. That, was Chaldea's true strength. No matter what, they would pull through anything.

Asteria walks on over and gives Vee a hug, patting the bag of her head and giving off good civ onee-san idol vibes.

"You're welcome. I don't need thanks or anything."

...They really did it... "We.. did it.. Everyone!"

“My neck hurts but it’s good your all safe, we all had faith you could do it.”

"Of course we did! How could we afford to fail when the Grand Saber gave his life for us..?"

"Of course they could, we might have lost but our will to win never diminished. They carried on and fought hard, we all fought hard and as a result, they won. I never had any doubt that they would emerge victorious. Although sitting here doing nothing while they were fighting bothered me..." She spoke that last part to herself, overall she was happy they won and that everyone was alive.

“After all this it seems everyone is all right, … Chaldea is truly amazing.” she says closing her eyes letting the others get off of her mount as she would then yank Dun to head back and out the door “But it’s time for me to head back to my master, I’ve been called here upon by the Catalyst I’ve offered, can’t linger on too much, so everyone have your fun, you all deserve it” Arthur says as she’d head out, finally, … after so many months, Chaldea can see a smile grow upon the Lancer’s face for the first time as she genuinely is happy, no more the stone cold face woman is going to keep that straight face, as for once she shows humanity, and smiles contemptibly, even if it’s with the corner of her mouth

"Ah.. Are you really going, Lancer?"

“I have responsibilities, I wouldn’t have been here if not for the Catalyst I offered Flora, I was in Rome at the moment, master Chris requires my attention at the moment as hr’s himself in trouble, I’m unable to stay for to long, not to mention my Master is probably questioning my whereabouts as well as the sudden use of his mana. Maybe another time, master Veronique”

"Well that was a long fight everyone. We truly gave our best! Stay for a moment, Artoria. Have a toast!" Cu grinned eagerly when all of that was over, he then got out 5 barrels of ale!

"Is that alcohol? I don't usually drink, but I think I can make an exception today!"

Ciel would arrive and look at everyone. She was glad to see everyone was alive. It looked like this time she actually got a happy ending. She would make her way to Idol and return her item. "Asteria, glad to see your alive, I believe these are yours." said Ciel as she returned the item back to idol. Ciel then heard the statement about alcohol. "Is their any curry?" asked Ciel as she raised her eyebrow. "I was promised Curry!"

Hermes raised an eyebrow at that statement. “Mm? But are you not a goddess of harvest? My limited interactions with gods of such authorities always seemed to include them being awe fully fond of making merry during festivities…”

Lucius turned to look towards Flora, he knew she was a terrible drunk and should probably stop her from drinking. On the other hand he choose not to as it would bet entertaining to see

"Man, suddenly there's a lot of licor on my stay here in Chaldea... I'm getting a bit sick of it, actually." Joking, of course.

"A-alcohol really is no good for you, you know..!"

"I don't drink, sorry."

"It's a special occasion, you two can drop the rules for today."

2:40 PM

"Also where is the curry?"

"Fifteen servings of curry, coming right up!"

"Let all drink! As she said is is a special occasion don't kill the fun."

"B---BB!?" Ah. Wait. Yeah. That makes sense. If the others are here too then..

~~”Tired of alcohol? Oh then boy do I have the treat for you!”~~ ~~Hermes called out to Kintoki, before holding out within a glass that held within it a totally inconspicuous liquid within.~~ ~~”Trust me, if you try it once, you would want it for life!”~~

"Yes, bring on the Curry BB... BB? What, well if she is bringing Curry, its fine."

"I... Would rather not." She had no idea what she was like as a drunk not did she want to find out.

"I'm gonna take your shocked expressions to mean 'we're so happy to see you again, BB! We love you!'"

2:42 PM

"Aww, you're so sweet."

"If you have Curry, then I am glad to see you again!"

"..Ah. Er. Yeah, I'm glad to see you made it too.."

With that, Ciel would start to eat curry, it became her main focus.

"My neck still hurts, I'm sending you the medical bills."

The idol is gonna go around giving everyone a hug, including BB. Afterwards finding a nice spot nearby to sit down under some shade, play her guitar, and sing song.

She would go sit down and just watch the others. She didn't need more than this, she was satisfied.

Atalanta was here for the end, having helped beat BB and Thrym along with Chaldea on the final stretch, upon which she would cross her arms and look at the crowd of people “Well guess this bring this singularity to an end, it was long and hard fought but this is us, … Chaldea, we don’t go down this easy” she’d take a glass of alcoholic beverage as well, she’s Greek, those people love alcohol

"I'm not convinced they didn't name the phrase "to pig out" after you, Ciel."

3

definitely not mentally scarred

”Am I personally delighted to see you? Hmm.. I must say, more so the opposite. Simulacrums aren’t simple to produce, you know, they are most costly to create.” Hermes grumbled as he caught sight of BB.

"I'm not convinced they didn't name the phrase "to pig out" after you, Ciel."

@Tohno Akiha (@Angelic) - jump "Akiha, how come your not wearing a swimsuit? Is something wrong? Also, I haven't seen you take part in a mission in a while." said Ciel as she made fun of Akiha.

"It's good to see you Master."

"..Well, everything worked out, I'm sure your Simulacrum is probably around here somewhere too..!"

”Am I personally delighted to see you? Hmm.. I must say, more so the opposite. Simulacrums aren’t simple to produce, you know, they are most costly to create.” Hermes grumbled as he caught sight of BB.

@Hermes Trimesgistus || Limited Time Summer Edition™ (@Baka | Olga, Theisoa) - jump "Seriously? Your money is what you're worried about? Maybe there's something to those rumors that you're secretly a greedy bastard. I'd say your bitterness calls for a punishment, but I'm wiped, so it's postponed until later!~"

"Akiha, how come your not wearing a swimsuit? Is something wrong? Also, I haven't seen you take part in a mission in a while." said Ciel as she made fun of Akiha.

@Swimsuit Ciel (@[Serpon]Teno/Penth/Nico/Azu) - jump "I've been enjoying the massage parlor. Why, did I miss something?"

Summer Veronique

"..Well, everything worked out, I'm sure your Simulacrum is probably around here somewhere too..!"

no that shit is dead as fuck!!!

~~lol~~

Lmao

"...If not I'll help you pay for a new one..!"

"I've been enjoying the massage parlor. Why, did I miss something?"

@Tohno Akiha (@Angelic) - jump "Almost everything." said Ciel in response to Akiha. "But I guess that is like you." said Ciel as she remembers that Akiha had two maids who did all the work for her. "Well I hope you did enjoy yourself, soon to be sister in law."

No it’s alive, ~~at the bottom of the sea and INS~~

~~Starchaser was made in to curry~~

Well, what could Berserker do other than shrug and accept it. They had won and his friends were alive, so all was well.

"Yep nothing much missed" Totally didn't nearly get his head cut off

"LUCIUS!" said Ortlinde as she would arrive flying in and hug Lucius. "I am so glad your safe!"

"Almost everything." said Ciel in response to Akiha. "But I guess that is like you." said Ciel as she remembers that Akiha had two maids who did all the work for her. "Well I hope you did enjoy yourself, soon to be sister in law."

@Swimsuit Ciel (@[Serpon]Teno/Penth/Nico/Azu) - jump "You're acting awfully happy about becoming a part of the Tohno family. Surely, you're aware that that means having to abide the rules laid out by the family head, yes?"

"Its good to see you Ortlinde!"

"You're acting awfully happy about becoming a part of the Tohno family. Surely, you're aware that that means having to abide the rules laid out by the family head, yes?"

@Tohno Akiha (@Angelic) - jump "Of course, I look forward to it. I will overcome all your expectations. I plan to become a productive member of the Tohno family." said Ciel as she gave a wink to Akiha.

"..Everyone is here, huh? It's pretty crowded.."

She was here as well, just off to the side drinking juice cause no alcohol for her.

"Thank you Lucius." said Ortlinde as she then looked around. "Should we met someone or get some food or something?"

"The last time this many of us were on a beach together, it was because Asteria was holding a live performance."

"..Silk..!" Ah. Her best friend is here too..! Veronica is going to make her way to be next to Silk like a lost puppy.

"Sure we can get something to eat, there is the curry the Church member seems to always recommend."

"Let's try some said Ortlinde." said she would move in and eat a plate of Curry. As she took a bite her face would go red. "AHHHH! IT'S HOT, LUCIUS HELP!"

Lucius quickly handed Ortlinde a bottle of water "Is it that hot?"

3:02 PM

Lucius then tried some "OH GODS HOW CAN PEOPLE EAT THIS."

Ortlinde would start to down the water quickly before then passing it to Lucius.

"It's really rare that we can just relax like this. Hey, what do you guys want to do after we beat Goetia?"

"Ah. Uh." "I didn't really.. think about that. I-I figured I'd just stay here. Maybe."

“You two realise milk would do better, at least if only the water would have been cold”

Cu Chulainn | Child of Light | Hound of Ulster

"Well that was a long fight everyone. We truly gave our best! Stay for a moment, Artoria. Have a toast!" Cu grinned eagerly when all of that was over, he then got out 5 barrels of ale!

here

3:04 PM

@[unintelligible sub noises]

Ciel would take a look at the others who couldn't eat the curry before focusing back on her own and eating. Though when Silk ask what they were going to do after beat Goetia, Ciel would pause. "Take a break from all this and live a normal life for a bit."

"I guess that question is a bit unfair for the Servants, since we don't know if you'll be allowed to stay after the Grand Order is finished. But can't we petition the director to give us at least a week with you? You definitely deserved your rest, and it's not like Chaldea's equipment will have to be shut down immediately."

"Well that was a long fight everyone. We truly gave our best! Stay for a moment, Artoria. Have a toast!" Cu grinned eagerly when all of that was over, he then got out 5 barrels of ale!

@Cu Chulainn | Child of Light | Hound of Ulster (@Squig) - jump “, …” Arthur look at Cu Chulainn, so to see that her attendance was requested, seeing everyone have such a great time, and the singularity was coming to an end, she signs in relentment, as she remember Morgan’s words “I suppose, … Rome doesn’t burn in one day, … nor is anything not gonna be reported if needed. I’m guessing I can still stay for a little longer ti see this island just a little more” she’d answer wanting to see this through, Arthur would then ofc go to sit down and join Chaldea in this last hour

..Ah. Right. The Servants won't be able to stay for long after their mission is completed. They'll all be gone soon. ...That's pretty depressing to think about..

SORRY I DIDN’T SEE UNTIL SILK POINTED IT OUT!

He has arrived while a bit late he was still here!

“, …” Arthur look at Cu Chulainn, so to see that her attendance was requested, seeing everyone have such a great time, and the singularity was coming to an end, she signs in relentment, as she remember Morgan’s words “I suppose, … Rome doesn’t burn in one day, … nor is anything not gonna be reported if needed.

@Lancer Artoria (Goddess of the Rhongomyniad) (@[unintelligible sub noises]) - jump "Excuse me?" dogsus

"Excuse me?" dogsus

@Lucius Tiberius Summer Emperor (@Sophie, Mary, Nito, Gorgon, Boud) - jump “It was just a joke, Lucius”

"Fight?"

3:11 PM

"Aww..."

"Rome lasted longer then your kingdom" Lucius picked up and drank some water

"Oh shit the burn."

“But we had more sane rulers at least” hints at a long list of people

"That is right, Lucius had the best kingdom!"

..Oh no. This smells like trouble. "G-Guys.. please don't start fighting now of all times.."

"No, no, Let this happen."

"Should I bring up the I word?"

"I want to see where this goes."

"Is.. that really a good idea?"

"Your royal family was like a tumble weed."

"You're staying with us, Lion King?" Flora jumps onto Artoria and locks arms with her. "That's a huge honor! You're an alternate version of the rival of Lucius, so it's kind of like we're sisters!"

"The worst it could lead to is a fight... In which case I'm joining in."

"W-why..!? We really shouldn't fight amongst ourselves..."

"Nothing wrong with fighting with your friends as long as it's nothing serious after all. We're all allies so it's all good!"

“At least we didn’t have our country burnt down by their own ruler, … then married a boy aft-“ she cough as she hears Flora “Yes, indeed, I will attend this while it lasts. It’s the least bit of respect I can offer to my comrades who fought by my side. It’s also in good spirit to see you Flora, you seem rather happy”

" Bring up Nero and I'll bring up Edward II."

"..Ah. Yeah, I guess that's fair..!" Thinking about it, maybe it could even be pretty fun...! "..In that case, count me in!"

"We could also bring up Mordred."

"..Ah. Yeah, I guess that's fair..!" Thinking about it, maybe it could even be pretty fun...! "..In that case, count me in!"

@Summer Veronique (@Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat) - jump "See? That's the spirit!"

Flora flails Artoria's arm around wildly, completely drunk. "Yes, let's be sisters from now on!"

"They still pretend they don't exist Ortlinde."

"So they don't even acknowledge their own mistakes that could have easily been fixed?"

"Yep."

Flora flails Artoria's arm around wildly, completely drunk. "Yes, let's be sisters from now on!"

@Summer Flora (Saber) (@Angelic) - jump she’d raise a glass to her and toast “To good will and a prosperous future” she’d say before turning to Lucius too “You as well Saber, you were a great asset in the field. Seems we keep finding each other in this missions, let’s not end it over a minimal dispute. Today we celebrate. Also, Flora, you seem a but tipsy already. Are you feeling well?”

"Very well I accept your surrender. Lets not end on bad terms." (edited)

chuckling at his mention “Take it as you will, friend”

Ciel was now on her sixth plate of curry. She would take a moment to look at what was going on before going back to eating her curry. She would then take a moment to look at BB. "Where did you get the curry from and are you enjoying yourself right now?"

as with that she’d take a good nice swig of the pint

"Damn, no fight... Anyone up for some sports or something?"

“You know, I’m starving, why don’t we get some food in here? I’ll have some of what master Ciel has too”

"I made it, duh. I take good care to keep all my piggies well sustained."

Veronica is just glad to see Flora again. Silk too. ...Maybe Ciel was right though. Maybe just for today she can ignore the rules she set for herse... No. No Alcohol for her. Never. Until someone tells her to, anyway.

"Damn, no fight... Anyone up for some sports or something?"

@Summer Nagato (@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel) - jump glares “Master, please stop encouraging infighting”

"As for enjoying myself, I think I am. It's a little too saccharine for my tastes, but I'm in no position to complain."

glares “Master, please stop encouraging infighting”

@Atalanta (Lion Huntress of Arcadia, the fastest racer) (@[unintelligible sub noises]) - jump "It's all in the name of summer fun and bonding!"

Currently sitting far away from the party, there are too many people for Poe as such he shall just continue reading a book

"I see. Well mind giving me the recipe?" said Ciel as she always wanted to expand her knowledge of curry. "One last question, what cause us to get your attention in the first place?"

"You mean Chaldea in particular? You're the only ones standing up to beat Goetia. Since I'm one of the people who's taken a grail of his, we were bound to meet sooner or later. Let's just say I took a bit of an interest in you along the way."

3:29 PM

"I'm a super-honest underclassman! When I'm crushing on someone, I wear it right on my sleeve."

"Y-You want to crush someone..?"

"...That's not what she meant."

3:30 PM

"At least I hope so..."

"Ah."

"Who are you crushing on then?"

"H-Huh!? Where are you manners, asking me straight up?!"

"What did you except from me? I'm not gonna beat around the bush. Are they here right now?"

"I-is it really a good idea to ask that if it's personal..?"

slowly takes the spoon of curry in interest at the discussion

“Really? That’s what you are interested in? To know who’s crushing on who. So banal, …”

Peeky peek from the idol since she’s interested too.

Ciel would remain quiet and continue to eat Curry but she would make sure to listen.

"Hello? Can you guys hear me?"

"Ah. Caster..?"

"Eh, gossip interesting and we weren't doing anything else so might as well learn more ab- oh Sup Da Vinci."

"No... your...breaking... up..." said Ciel as she made fake static noise.

"C-Ciel..!"

"Okay, Ciel, I really don't appreciate that right now! We've been worried sick about you. We haven't been able to establish contact in weeks!"

she’d snicker at Ciel’s attempt

"Weeks? It's been that long?"

"We've been gone that long..!?"

"It's only felt like days..."

Ciel would turn to BB. "Saved by the bell."

"Anyways, I'm just glad to see you're all okay. I'm already going through your logs and as crazy as the things I'm reading are, you can explain them to me later. You guys got the grail, right?"

"Yes, we have secured the grail."

”Ah… That’s troublesome… Uhhh so how’s the singularity over there ehe~?”

"...Ah... Well.. at least that means I've definitely rested enough to work overtime again.."

"The Singularity hasn't spun out of control yet. Are you guys ready to initiate Rayshift?"

"We are, though we were just getting to the juicy part." said Ciel as she looked back at BB.

"Ah... So guess this summer vacation is over with. Well, we were gone for weeks I guess, even if it only felt like a few days but I guess time flies when your having fun."

"We can begin once we get this information."

“Master Ciel, as much as I agree it was getting interesting, we have responsibilities, we can ask them later when we meet BB again and has no way to escape. I’m ready, Da Vinci”

"Really does. Ah, er." She takes a deep breath. "I guess that means it's goodbye for now..! Thank you everyone, er, this has been pretty fun."

3:41 PM

"But it's time to get back to work."

She was satisfied with what happened, she got to meet Scathach again. That was more than she could have ever asked for. "Yeah, I'm ready to return."

Hermes signed “I suppose I’ll return back to my duty of trying to keep my territory together and free of rapid goddesses dropping from absurd heights to destroy the terrace.”

"..that sounds really specific."

”All good to go whenever~! Let’s get back to work and finish what we’ve started~!”

3:43 PM

”…yes.”

"Haha... Uh... Sorry about the Hermes.*

"It was fun, I hope we can do this again someday..."

"Course we can! Remember, our Saint Graphs are stored by Chaldea now, right?"

She was satisfied with what happened, she got to meet Scathach again. That was more than she could have ever asked for. "Yeah, I'm ready to return."

@Summer Fie (@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel) - jump "We should have spent some time together master!"

"Anyways, BB answer the question before we have to go!"

she’d facepalm “Anyway, done with this, lets head back to Chaldea and pick ip where we left of, as for you!” she points at Nagato “Be much more careful from now on, you should know after Liz’s game, I don’t want something to happen to you. I really hope you learned some valuable lessons”

"Sure! If you all kiss my feet, I'll answer you!"

"Eh!?"

"Yeah, sorry about that Ortlinde. Next time well spend a lot more time together."

"Why all of us..?"

"Yeah, rayshift us now."

"....Okay, on it."

Hermes waved dismissively. “Ignore the rambling of the mad women, best not to humor her.”

"Sure! If you all kiss my feet, I'll answer you!"

@Summer B.B. (Mooncancer) (@Angelic) - jump "You know what happened to the last person that told me to kiss their feet?"

grabs Nagato’s arm and drags em away, this is stupid by now “Make that offer to Black beard.”

"She became my servant."

"W-Wait! Before we all go, you still haven't answered my question! I'm serious!" "Let's all say one thing we're excited to do once Goetia is defeated!" @Game Ping 2

3:47 PM

"I'll start..! I want to go see a life performance of Asteria again, with all of us! She'll be hiding from the Clocktower, so I guess it'll have to be secret, but I'm sure we can make it happen!"

"Ah! Uh..!" Something. Something. Anything. "I want to.. spend more time with my friends..!"

"I just want to take a break from all this and live a normal life. You know, go to restaurants, hang out with people, buy some clothes and eat curry, just normal things. All without having to worry about the world ending and all that."

"Once that happens, we Servants are leaving, y'know? But what the hell, I'll answer" "If you happen to summon me again, let's go have a racing contest! After all, I have to show you all my Golden Bear, I swear you would love it!"

He wasn't getting dragged away without a fight. "Ah that's putting me on the spot here but honestly, I want to keep getting stronger to protect my friends. I wouldn't be here without you guys after all. So if you ever need anything be sure to call upon me."

”Ehhh don’t you worry, maybe I can continue to do what I’m doing if I continue making big contributions~! If not then maybe I’ll just go pippity poppity to the other side of things. As for what I’ll do after… Definitely go spend some time with everyone!” Asteria cheerfully goes up to Silk and gives her a squishy snug!

”Hmm… once Goetia has at been defeated, I suppose I seek to find a way to anchor my existence to this plane. The reverse plan is most mysterious, but this realm governed by science has its own charms too. I’d like to remain for hmm.. eight, no, tens years at least, afterwards. That should provide me plenty of time to research what has occurred in the past few millennia.”

he’s been enjoying himself till now after what Silk said, holding a glass with his hand he’d take a moment to say what was on his mind as his eyes pointed down “, … I wish, … for my family to be safe, … can’t really beat around the bush, I just want to see then again. And that’s why I’m here, so they don’t disappear, I don’t know how long I’ll be here for nor do I care how long it takes, … my mother, father, little sister, brothers, … my friends. They are what made me want to be who I am today, so yeah. I’m excited to make them proud, and keep them safe.”

"I'm gonna go wherever Master's going~!"

"I just want to spend more time with Lucius. I would like to go on more adventures with him, battling by his side." said Ortlinde as she moved to grab Lucius arm.

“Honestly, … I wish to protect people, I want to right the wrong I’ve done and fix what I’ve broken, and how else then starting a new life, this, … chance, … I get, … as a servant, is truly one I appreciate. And as legend has it, I’ll rise to protect Britannia, …. Only that everything, … is Britannia”

Lucius stayed quite as he thought to himself, as a servant there probably wasn't anything after Goetia is defeated for him but he would still answer even if it was an impossibility "I guess I'd like to stay in this world a little longer so I can keep the memories I've gained and spend more time with the people I've come to care about" Lucius placed his hand over Ortlinde's as she help on to his arm

“Eh-, … well, … I’d wish to find a way to bless al children, … there’s nothing much of it other then wanting to know them safe”

stays silent

"...I don't know what will become of me after beating Goetia but if I get summoned again I would... Like to make more friends and introduce them to my best friend."

"...Heh I don't usually do stuff like this but... I wanted to make my father proud but... Something tells me that I already have so... I want to make my friends proud so after we beat Goetia... I don't know. I don't want to leave you guys if I'm honest. I guess spend as much time with everyone before I have to leave."

"We'll all see each other again, right? Even if Chaldea's disassembled and we're all dismissed, we'll still be friends, right?" @Game Ping 2

"We have been through way too much. So if any of you ever need anything, feel free to visit me and ask for my help or feel free to just drop by and say hi."

The idol gives out free head pats to everyone before giving a snug to Yang and a two finger heart to Silk. “Of course we will be! Besties for life~!”

3:58 PM

"Damn right."

"Mhm."

"Of course."

"..Of course- ... Yeah. Yeah!" No matter what. Once all this is over then.. "..Once all this is over, we'll still be here. As friends, and comrades."

"We will."

“, …”

“Of course, maybe we might be servants. But my master is trying to convince me of another, and I hope he does, even if most of us won’t remember this whole thing and everything that happened, … I can say that, friends and companions we made along will always remain etched in the very history we protect” Atalante said in a questionably optimism?

“I do hope so, … friends, … yes” she smiles softly

stays silent as he said what he had to say

...So this truly was the end then. The end of the best summer vacation Veronica has ever had. Naturally, she would want this to go on forever but.. Everything good has to come to an end eventually. Once this is all over then they can do something like this again, maybe..! Either way, she smiles looking over everyone gathered here. Her Friends and Comrades..

"Alright! Initiating Rayshift in 5.. 4.. 3.."

In the last moments where that great blue summer sky above was still visible, it looked like it was larger than ever before. 

A vast, endless sky of infinite possibilities.

These islands won't leave a single trace of them behind, but surely, the wind will carry their words with it from now on and forever.
