DESOLATION. || A FE2 AU.

|| 𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦. ||

I sat on a flight of stairs, thinking to myself.

While the temple always had flowing water and blowing winds, this time it was.. a bit quieter than usual.

Why was what?

I looked right in front of me after staring at my knees for so long.

..was that?

Was that it?

The shards they've been talking about?

Is it about to cone after my map too?

It'd be fun trying to run towards it.

But I need to run away from it.

Why?

Nobody knows what happened after you touched the area.

While thinking, I wasn't aware of the fast pace the corruption was going towards me.

Oh right..

I should run before thinking first.

I immediately got up from the stairs and started running.

To be honest, I'm not sure how long I'll last.

It's fun to run though.

When I reached the outside of my temple, it wasn't corrupted just yet.

Maybe I still have time.

Maybe I already ran out.

It depends.

I don't know if I'll survive this.

But even if I don't..

"It's what I deserve."

That was the last thing I wanted to think of.

..Before something grabbed my wrist.

In a blink of an eye, I was in the lobby.

Was I?

Is it real?

I looked to my right.

Well, thank goodness it wasn't Marred.

But it was her counterpart.

"..oh. Fallen, hi."

I looked at them.

At first, they didn't seem interested in communicating with me.

But looking at who they just saved, they seemed a bit curious.

"..hi. Uh, what's your name again.."

"Forsaken Era."

"Oh. Well, uh. Hi. Forsaken."

They let go of my wrist.

Wow.. the difference between them and Marred..

"Whwre will you stay?"

They suddenly asked.

".. I'm not sure."

I responded.

"..my map?"

They suggested.

I can't be in their map.

"No thanks."

I turned down the offer.

"Okay, so.. where?"

They asked again.

"I'll think about it later."

I excused.

They looked like they didn't really care, but they just gave me a slight nod.

"Okay. Be safe out there."

They saidz before quickly leaving to go on the lift. Probably heading back to their map.

Well.. that's a conversation.

But where will I really stay..?

...

I'll stay at his map.

Besides, there's no more people there.

..hm.
