A silence befell the two - Capital, and their avatar. For a moment it was a though the chatter and laughter of the memory dimmed, and the gentle breeze was a deafening sound.

...

Silence reigned for what felt like a minute, and an eternity, both.

...

And then, they spoke.

I am "pretty sure" she has a family to go back to. From what I have seen, she fell from a cart that was travelling by. I have now found a path and I will follow it; it will either take me to a town in which I can leave the Cleffa at, or "better yet", I will find her parents and leave her with them. I am not going to raise this child, nor any for that matter. I can admit that I am no good mentor, nor do I have the patience. She deserves better, does she not?

She had never been one to own fancy items. She wasn't one for jewelry, nor expensive clothes, not even luxury food; she was happy with what she had. It had always been enough... but this gift was special, and she knew it.

As she walked, she wondered about the stars etched into it. Constellations, she could recognize, and one glowed brighter than the others... what was that about? How could she get the other ones to light up? Perhaps it needed more time, she thought. Perhaps it needs to see more of the sky.

Her daze ended when she reached her spaceship - a small one for what it was, easy to camouflage in the dense flora of the retreat. She waved her hand in front of it, and a door on the side opened. Without much preamble, she climbed inside. The door closed with a quiet mechanical noise.

It wasn't long before she was airborn, and a few moments after she was speeding through the air, heading back the way she came, like a shooting star cutting through the dark of the night.

And, in another universe, where the dawn finally lit up the night sky... there was Capital, walking down a path, Cleffa resting happily in their arms.

Lyra is now unavailable for questions.

Capital is open for questions again.

[ Continued from here ]

Capital lays down on the floor, staring at the skies above. They were not accustomed to dealing with negative feelings, and it was beginning to wear them down. Not even the Cleffa rattling their chime could keep the memories from creeping in.

Yet, they still tried.

-> Dawn will break soon...

Capital is open for questions once again.

Capital asked the Cleffa, yet she did not answer, for Cleffa had nothing to say.

-> The Spacial Rend rift has been closed...
