Chereads / Ember Phantasmagoria / Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

After the dinner was over, Blaine and Ostara met Ember in the rooftop only to react angrily to the fact that Phantasm was selling the former's family heirloom to Elsoyrd without his permission and the latter woman left the rooftop, allowing them to kiss for almost an hour only to get caught by Emil and Mayra holding a writing on the notebook saying "Are you done kissing yet?" and they told them they're done kissing before they left.

After they left, Blaine and Ostara were secretly talking about their future jobs and marriage plans but they eventually gave up on the latter plan because of their quest only to saw a meteorite about to crash into Agmaseom Island within 5 hours.

1 hour later, in Pandemonium, Ignacio tells Blaine, Ostara, Silvia, Emil and Mayra to stop the meteor from hitting the island and tells his concubine Ember to accompany them into the island via a private yacht, and once the seven got into the yacht, there was a bad weather relating to Phantasm's presence in the demon world, leading to the yacht crashing into the shores of the destined island 4 hours later. Thankfully, no one was affected except that Blaine got a scar on his left chin as a result of the crash while Ignacio and Ember left.

However, the meteor crashed into the island and became Rubina, who wanted to have friends and Ostara saw another female mage who arrived at the same time with them. She questions her and that mage introduced herself as Starla, and she tells them to walk the stairs into the village, in which they did.

While the seven were walking in the stairs and the village, Emil noticed Phantasm following them in which the seven stopped by Frostine's house, only for her to brainwash Starla much to Blaine, Ostara, Silvia, Mayra and Rubina's horror. Upon brainwashing Starla, she said "Who are you guys? Why am I here to help you in the first place?!"

Mayra got angry at Starla and said to her "Phantasm?! Why are you here stalking us like that?! You're the one we're looking for in our quest!" She replied "It's because I want to tear this world into pieces so it can't be repairable!" Rubina said to Starla "Starla, cut it out! I know who is controlling you! It's Phantasm!"

Starla didn't listen to Rubina's words and tried to blast her with her ice magic only to freeze Blaine instead of her, resulting in him getting frozen and Ostara melting the ice, freeing him and she tells Rubina "Hey Ruby! Let's combine our powers to defeat Starla!" in which she answered with "Sure, Ostara! Go ahead!" and the two combined their powers to purify Starla, resulting in their attack failing against her and backfiring to them.

Silvia got angry and yelled at Starla "Starla, you moron! How dare you hurt my friends like that! I mean, how many times do I have to teach you a lesson, old man?! Prepare to die!" Starla replied with "Not today, Silvia!" and the two got into a fight, with the latter winning the fight much to Blaine's anger that he resorted into wrestling against her and thankfully for him, he managed to purify her from Phantasm.

Upon getting purified, Starla fainted on the ground, with Blaine himself, Ostara, Silvia, Emil, Mayra and Rubina surrounding her. Once she woke up from her unconsciousness caused by Phantasm's curse, she ran to hug him and said to him "I'm sorry, Blaine... After all of what I've done to hurt you and your friends, thank you for saving me from her." He replied "I'm sorry too, Starla." and cried in front of her before letting go of each other.

Starla walks to the front door of Frostine's house and soon realized that she forgot to lock the front door which could potentially lead to an home invasion, so she secretly opened the door for the heroes and herself to enter and they entered the entryway before coming in the living room.

In the living room, Rubina found a video tape and she saw an old video tape recorder that was unused for several years before questioning the others "What's this?" only to get answers saying that it was an tape containing an inappropriate video, and she tells Mayra to leave the living room.

With Mayra out of the scene, Starla puts the video tape into the recorder and the TV displayed an inappropriate video, much to everybody's horror, especially Ostara who was deceived upon seeing that her homeroom teacher from magic school was having an affair with an another woman, who turned out to be Starla's aunt Frostine. Suddenly, within the few minutes of the video, everybody but Starla got outraged over the fact that these two were secretly having an affair.

Rubina said to Starla "Excuse me Starla, but what the hell is this?! Why would you show us that disgusting video? Look at Ostara! She's upset because she saw her teacher having an affair with your aunt while they were CHEATING on their partners!" and continuing to tell her to remove the video tape, in which she did.

After Starla removed the video tape off the recorder, she got disgusted over it too and Emil wanted to imitate the affair with her, but she refused to do so and he changed his mind, continuing to think about his crush Nithya and he told his friends "This video is so gross to begin with overall. I can't believe that Frostine is still cheating on her husband with another man, but this one is way worse as she's doing it with Ostara's teacher, you know." Silvia said "Let's leave this house before the owner finds out about her own affair!", with her, Blaine, Ostara, Emil, Mayra, Rubina and Starla leaving the house.

3 weeks later, Frostine and her husband Enzo came back home to watch the disgusting video in question and after watching the video, the latter yelled at her "I've heard from our visitors that you were CHEATING on me with several men and recorded several tapes of your affairs ever since our daughter Lumi was born!" She ended up making a bunch of lies to get back at him but he tells her he wanted a divorce because of her past affairs and threatened to sue the men whom she were having affairs with.

2 days after Frostine's affairs were revealed to her husband, they both filed for divorce and in turn, Enzo got legal custody of Lumi while on the other hand, the person whom her biological mother was having an affair with, tried to apologize to his wife but she denied his apology and they decided to get divorced as well as her suing Frostine for damages.

At the end, Enzo packed all of his stuff to start a new life in the human world while Frostine's family found out about her affairs and they immediately disowned her by revoking her role as the Queen of the Arcane Realm and giving the role and house to her niece Starla who first revealed her affairs, only for her to clean the entire house and sell it to a potential buyer.

The scene switches to Ignacio thanking the heroes including Starla stop a meteor in Agmaseom Island, only for Blaine to tell him that the meteorite they found was Rubina, so he took great care of her and freed Fabian and Fawn from the crystals as well as summoning a portal to go back to the human world, and the nine waved goodbye to him before leaving the demon world.

1 year later, back in the human world, at the Shooting Star Cafe, Blaine and Ostara were having a talk with Blade, Fabian and Starla about Frostine's affair while drinking their coffee until they saw Phantasm walking through the window next to their seats, with Starla herself saying "Here we go again with that brainwasher who only cares about herself and the end of the world...", resulting in her breaking the window, with Fabian sacrificing himself to her for the sakes of his cousin, much to their heartbrokenness.

Anyways, after eating the lunch at the cafe, Blaine and Ostara stormed out of the cafe to find Fabian, leaving Blade and Starla to pay the bills and they left the cafe peacefully, together. The scene switches to the two heroes running with their weapons to fight Fabian who was under Phantasm's control.

Once they arrived near Elona's abandoned house which has been fallen into disrepair, they hid into the bushes and saw Emil, Fawn, Silvia and her cousin Aranea fighting with Yule and Fabian, who were both under Phantasm's control, and the two managed to defeat both Emil and Silvia only for their host laugh and she attempted to brainwash the four, but it failed on elves because they, like Mayra's species, have the ability to resist Phantasm's mind control techniques; since Emil and his brothers have elven blood from their own elven mother, they share that trait like other elves.

Blaine and Ostara jumped off the bushes only to fall into the ground, allowing Phantasm to curse the former into betraying the latter who got heart broken over seeing him like that and Fabian tried to seduce her only for her to electrocute him with her wand, causing him to be purified from the curse. Yule screamed "NO Fabian, NO!!" Aranea told him "This is what you get for possessing my friend into fighting against us!" before getting into a fight with Blaine.

Fortunately enough, Aranea and Fawn pinned Blaine against the walls of Elona's house and beat the hell out of him while Emil, Fabian and Silvia were fighting against Yule, with Ostara saying to herself "I have no clear idea of how could both Blaine and Fabian be so mean to me like that... I wonder what should I do..." and she runs only to see Blaine unconscious upon getting purified by the two women much to the point she wanted to cry, but unfortunately, Phantasm possessed her to the point she betrayed her friends and allied with Yule's side.

Behind the abandoned house, Blade, Starla and Elona were thinking about a way to get rid of Phantasm and they found an unused voodoo doll that looked like her left on the ground, before going inside the house and the former of the three shook the doll, causing Phantasm to reveal her real appearance and the latter told the two to stay inside and help him and the others defeat her, Yule and Ostara to the end.

Now left alone, Blade suggested Starla to put a pin on the voodoo doll's left elbow and she puts a pin into it, causing Phantasm to break her own left elbow, and Fabian laughed out loud that he tells his allies to beat her up and they, along with him, beat her to the point she was barely functionable, with Blaine telling both Blade and Starla to put the two pins on both Phantasm's head and heart and they did put the pins on there, which led to them destroying her, with the Synergic Crystal's energy coming out from her core, while Yule and Ostara instantly collapsed as a result.

Blaine, Silvia and Emil ran to Ostara crying while Elona tells Blade and Starla to get out of his house along with the voodoo doll, and they, Fabian, Fawn and Aranea ran to surround Yule, leaving Phantasm's corpse behind. Yule wakes up and scratches his head only to find out it was short, before saying to the six "Ugh... My head hurts... And who are you guys?" and the six then introduced themselves.

Yule gets up and saw Phantasm's remains much to his horror before he cried and apologized to the heroes who saved the day from her. Aranea tells him to look at the other side, and they looked at the other side. From their viewpoint, Fabian thought to himself "Wait... Ostara looks so beautiful, even when she's sleeping..." only to get called out by Fawn and Starla over it, with the latter saying "Fabian, what the hell? Why would you want to kiss someone's unconscious sweetheart like that? Do you want him to beat you up?"

Fabian apologized by saying that he didn't want Blaine to beat him up, but unfortunately for him the latter eventually kissed Ostara, waking her up and their powers of love repaired Elona's house, turning it to what he wanted for the house to have and he thanked them for repairing the house for him.

After Elona's house was repaired, Yule apologized to everyone (including the heroes themselves) for his past actions caused by Phantasm and hugged Blaine, Blade and Starla for saving him and Ostara from Phantasm, in which everybody accepted his apology and he surrendered Phantasm's remains to the Florian authorities.

Upon seeing Phantasm's remains, the Florian authorities revoked the arrest warrant for her and once the Florian villagers heard that she was dead, they decided to bury her remains in the village cemetery and since then, Yule's wish has been granted, which made him forget about her, even to this day.

On the other side, Blaine managed to find his own family heirloom from Phantasm's grave and thanked the villager who found the heirloom, before going back to where he first met Ostara, Mayra and Emil 2 years ago, and successfully finished the quest, with him meeting his four friends again who like him, were also grown up and waved goodbye to them before going back home, but one of them didn't want him to leave and he still left for his home, marking the end of the quest and Ember Phantasmagoria as a whole.

2 years later, the five found their dream jobs, with Blaine and Ostara getting to know about each other through fortune telling and paintings while on the other hand, Silvia taught children in elementary school, Emil cooked food at his personal kitchen for his girlfriend Nithya, and Mayra became a priestess at a church in Elyria.

  1. Elsword accidentally predicted in his letter to Yunoki in its Canon Ending that Frostine dumped Makena the same way she did to him at the end of Daystar Purgatory, to marry Enzo, 3 years prior to the events of Ember Phantasmagoria, which coincidentally happens to be set in the same alternative timeline as The Unwanted Secrets of Florian, where he was a homeroom teacher for Ostara's class at the same magical school Frostine used to attend.
    Unfortunately, luck wasn't for him in this timeline, as he and Frostine were sued by their former partners Aisha and Enzo as a result of their affair being discovered by his AP (affair partner)'s niece and her allies. This isn't the first time he had an affair in the YunokiRoom series, as in the first 5 seasons of Crystalline Codex, although he was unmarried at the time, he fathered two children with Fawn and Aluna.
    Here at YunokiRoom, we do not condone cheating nor his behavior in this chapter.
  2. Nobody knows what happened to the buyer of Frostine's former house.
  3. The elves have inherited the ability of the Blumenspitzen to resist Phantasm's corruption.
  4. That person turned out to be none other than his friend Ostara
