Alm and Bruno found themselves in a vast mountainous region of the planet. Everyone had been transported to a continent that seemed like a large island, filled with powerful beasts.
They were all left alone, scattered in different and distant directions from each other. However, it wasn't hard to sense where Ruri was. The whole world seemed to converge toward her like she was the center, and just following that feeling would lead them to her.
Bruno, however, didn't move right away. He needed to wait for the right moment.
'What do you plan?' Alm asked mentally.
Bruno sighed lightly. 'It's simple. I'm going to reignite the flame inside her. That way, she'll be able to focus her will to the maximum again, without letting depression and self-blame consume her.'
Alm snorted; he had managed to get Ruri approved by the blade, at least preliminarily. But in exchange, Almia's death had left her completely devastated.
