DESOLATION. || A FE2 AU.

|| Why? ||

"Why?!"

MD exclaimed.

She felt really heartbroken knowing that her realm is forever gone.

"Look, Marred. There isn't anything I could do and you have to accept that."

Fallen bluntly explained.

"Okay, I will. But.. are you sure this'll only happen to my map?"

MD asked.

"What do you mean?"

"I meant that my map and yours are connected right? This won't get the other maps involved, right?"

MD explained.

"..I'm pretty sure it'll not."

They answered.

They didn't seem quite sure with their answer.

"Fallen, you don't seem pretty sure with your answer."

"Okay fine, it has a possibility, but it's really low. I doubt that it'll spread because how would that work?"

Fallen answered.

"You're right. But.. you still said it was a possibility."

MD said.

"Yeah, it has. But like-"

Fallen suddenly cut their sentence off.

"..Wait."

Fallen suddenly felt something.. no, someone else in their map other than Marred.

"What? What is it?"

MD asked.

"Marred, stay here."

Fallen was serious.

"W-why??"

MD asked again.

"I need to go somewhere in my map. Someone's here with us."

"..Someone?"

Before MD could ask who it was, Fallen walked away.

MD felt worried, who's this person? Were they gonna harm them? She hopes not.

A few minutes later, Fallen came back with another person that she was oh so familiar with.

"Oh! Hey there, Marred."

"..Buried Oasis?"

MD was shocked. Why was BO here?

"Fallen said that you could explain something to me."

BO said.

"Explain?"

"Yeah, their prank?"

MD looked over to Fallen.

"What prank?"

"He didn't believe me when I said that this wasn't a prank."

Fallen explained.

"Oh."

MD sighed.

"I guess I could explain to you, Oasis."

"Sure, go on."

BO seemed eager to listen.

"Yeah, but first. Can you tell me what happened?"

MD asked.

"Oh, sure. In my map, when I was just sitting down doing absolutely nothing, a fallen shard appeared and.. seemingly transformed the 2nd room of my map into something like.. Fallen's map?"

"..transformed?"

MD and Fallen seemed shocked.

"..Why? What's with the shocked loo-"

"BO, you can't go back to your map."

Fallen cut him off.

"Why?"

BO asked.

"Because the same thing happened to my map."

MD explained.

"..What?"

BO seemed shocked with this information.

"BO, this phenomenon that's happening right now, it's going to spread to the other maps. We can't do anything since we can't use our abilities outside our respective maps."

"That's why you can't return to your map. If something were to happen to you, you might not make it."

Fallen finished.

"Wait.. Fallen, don't you think you worded that a little bit too har-"

"..I understand."

BO suddenly said.

"Oh, well.. that's good to know. But are you REALLY sure you'll be alright without your map? All I know is that it means a lot to you."

MD said. She got worried.

"I'll be fine. So.. should we warn the other easy maps?"

BO suggested.

"Sure, but will they believe it?"

Fallen asked.

"Not sure, it depends after all."

BO answered.

"But- wait. Are we all certain that this won't spread to the higher difficulty maps?"

MD asked.

"..it has a chance. But for now, we'll stick with the easy maps. Since they're the weakest of the bunch."

Fallen said.

MD frowned. BO sighed.

"..no offense."

"None taken."
