As I started to lose my sense of self, I heard the familiar voice call me from the sky.

I looked up and saw Amelia Watson and her friends, dropping down toward me.

They landed on the rooftop and Amelia Watson dashed toward me.

"The Ancient One! Are you alright?"

Amelia Watson asked me, even though I was her enemy.

"What are you doing here?"

I asked with my low-energy voice.

"We come to help you."

Amelia Watson answered.

"Why!? Don't you realize how badly of the things I did to your friends, the council, and you!"

I yelled at her because of her nonsense words.

Amelia Watson paused for a second before starting her nonsense again.

"I know and I can't argue that I'm not mad at all, but that doesn't change the fact that you are the lost soul who needs to be helped, not punished."

Somehow, I was allured by her nonsense words but I couldn't take it.

"Maybe I do need to be punished, Amelia Watson. The fact that I was the one who was responsible for my friends' deaths."

I looked down to the battlefield where my mad past self battled with my friends.

Amelia Watson looked down in that way as well, but instead of being shaken by that, she remained steady and said something to me that made me back to myself.

"You may be the one responsible for your friends' deaths, the Ancient One, but isn't this the chance to correct the wrong!?"

I was stunned when I heard those words.

"You may be the murderer in the past but now, you can be the savior to your friend, right here and right now."

I regained the sense of self back as my brain started to fade the thick fog which interfered with my thoughts away.

"The Ancient One!!!"

Amelia Watson called my alias loudly.

"I ask you. Do you wish to help your friends? If you still are, we are here for you."

I looked at Amelia Watson and the people behind her.

The grim reaper, The phoenix warrior, and The shark.

I widened my eyes as I saw them, then the flow of energy rushed through my entire body.

"I do! I still wish to save my friends!!!"

I shouted my desired wish and Amelia Watson and her friends smiled.

"Well! If that's the case, it's time to put that octopus down into its pot."

Despite how silly it is, I was encouraged by those words.

After the decision, we went onward to the battlefield below us.
