"Ruby, can you save her?"
"Is Ariel ok?"
".......I don't know.
We have to get her home to see, but even if I could; everything starts in the heart. I could heal her, but not give her her powers back. She would lose those.
As far as the baby is concerned...….she...I know I can heal."
"Woo…wooo. It's best we put her back to her normal form when, you know...…"
"Jacklyns lifeless body and hands aren't covering her eyes?"
"Tick tock, people.
The Kids are starting to come back."
"Ruby, why don't I kill this two faced smiling lunatic right here right now?"
".........You can't kill the Innocent."
"What was that, Ruby?"
"Ruby, but he…."
"He had done nothing wrong.
He has killed no one, he has not hurt anyone...and he has not forced anyone to do what they don't want to. Just like with Jacklyn, all the Kids here are free to make their own choices."
"But they can't go home? Isn't that…..
….What about the Creatures in the Forest? Headmaster must certainly have ties to how they were…."
"Again; it's the Kids choice.
On Graduation, they receive a suit that grants them any spell they cast without fatigue or failure. Even the ones they can't.
The more they use spells they themselves can't; the more the Suit hinders on their body. Until...….just as they're about to die; the Suit turns them into an undear creature, and takes over. Even if you took away their suits now…..they would die for lack of support. The Suits are the only thing keeping them alive.
Eternal suffering, for not realizing they are they, and not the suit."
"Again...…that's none of my fault, Ladies and Gents."
"Shut up."
"What they do outside of my four years at school falls within their hands, not mine.
You know the rules. No lawsuits outside private owned space. Anything that happens outside of your space turns into a Public matter."
"......Damn you."
"I have a reputation to keep."
".....Phuuueeaaat.
*Phueeemmm….Phuee…..Phueeee…..Phueeem*
"Deathpetal, take us home."
"Uhhh….aren't you forgetting anything? Or should I say...some…one? She's still over there where Jacklyn dropped her."
"You...…you would just give her to us."
"I may be evil, but I do have brains. If not, when Ariel wakes up; she will want you to come back tomorrow…and then tomorrow and then tomorrow...just like Jacklyn did.
Plus, I can't have you wrecking my school everytime you come in here, but my advice if you want to continue to steal Children and are that desperate........Try the Orphanage.
Toodaloo.
I'll go call off my Kids now so that you can leave in peace. You've already killed a few of them, and those are Tallis on my School report. I will now have to tell their sad parents, and my school attendance will drop."
"Awwwwww. Poor you. I'd cry for you, but it seems my tears got lost in the forest."
"Tank, this is no time for picking on the enemy. He's giving us free range to leave. Let's use it before he changes his mind."
"Oh yes. Please use what I have to offer.
And if I were you....I'd hurry home.
You never know who might be watching."
"....Oh no."
"I knew we should have tied Kain up before we left."
"Elwin, that would not have solved anything. Come on.....before anymore Creatures can make a bigger mess from last time."
"Hopefully, this time we can clean it up."
"Huuuuu….whoooooo…..Huuuu….whoooo.
Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…..Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I seem to be lost. Where are you?
I don't like walking through this….dark.....creepy…..spooktasic looking Forest. I don't mean to bother you, but could you please hurry up and rescue me?"
"...What's the hurry, jury?"
"Don't you want to stay awhile?"
"Isn't that why you left?"
"Can't fill your poor fathers shoes, so all that's left is to leave?"
"It's ok."
"Elwin will forgive."
"She won't be mad."
"Ooops. Sorry."
"She'll be very mad."
"She even said she wanted to tie you up before they left."
"You're lying. All of you. Elwin would never say that. Get back."
"But it's true. The words came directly from her own mouth."
"I swear it."
"On my mothers grave."
"You don't have a mother."
"...But Kain did."
"How is she?"
"Be gone from me you evil things. Back...Back...Back...I beseech thee."
"KAIN!!!!!"
"ELWIN?"
"I'M COMING!!!!!"
*BOOM*
...Flame on!!!!"
"Aaaaaaghh."
"Kain, take my hand.
RUBY, YOU CAN PULL UP ON THE VINE NOW."
"On three, everyone. Let's pull."
"I'm sorry, Elwin.
I know I can take the Kingdom, and I really do want to step in my Fathers footsteps, but I also want to step in yours; but you never see that I do."
"It's ok, Kain. I see now.
But why don't we talk until after we are safely away from here? Deal?"
"Deal.
Why aren't your flames burning Ruby's vine?"
"That's a secret."
"......Where's Jacklyn?….Where's my Jacklyn?
..…JACKLYN!!!!!!
JACK...LYN!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Hi, Ariel."
"You're not Jacklyn. You're Ruby."
