Beau took a breath, trying to manage his own pain as he watched Kyun search for whatever he had been dragged in here for. He thought it was for the still kinda bleeding wound on his side from his last escape attempt but his English was sketchy at best.

He felt eyes on him and tensed, turning to look. It was probably these ridiculous outfits the Saints had them in, showing scars and brands alike. It was a young woman watching them, a young woman who gave off an intensity like he had never seen.

"Kyun I'm..." he paused, thinking on the word for a moment. "Fine. We should go."

Novi is my Legendary Hero while Zariya is my Solus. Anyways I feel that The Brave really fits the trio. (Implied Spoilers for Bunker Incident.) Here’s why:

Many days tinted in fairy tale scenes Have arrived at the end, proof we have seen I cut out and choose from a trip so long A little passage I review

1-4: Novi being seen as a legend when she see’s herself as the cause of the Ascension Wars + Novi only focusing on the bad instead of her bigger legacy.

Tale of what's taken place right on this field Shadows of manifested pain and woe There was a hero who took out all foes A little journey memory with you

5-8: Deena remembering her past with Novi, how it was her to end His rule, and how Novi became the first Guild Master

No more pages left in that story Our hero goes into slumber, deep Leaving behind a veil of peace for all Saving the dwellers of this land

9-12: Novi drowning over millennia, yet everyone still celebrating her long after her death

The flow of time erases without mercy And erodes all memories and hues Even the traces left in Life are now rusting as time ensues

13-16: Novi and Deena being nothing more than whispers of a History nearly forgotten by the time of Extinction + no one remembering them despite their statues and paintings and other records.

And yet, I keep all your hopes All the words and wishes, courage you owned Still dwell inside me, and even now in my heart Keep living through

17-20: Deena still keeping the Guilds original values along with the Alliance as part of her despite the years

Odyssey we shared, on the same path and nothing more to that So it should have been, but suddenly I was wondering All those tears rolling down my cheekswhy do they come out and fall?

21-24: Deena, upon realizing that she wants to know what a real family is like the way Novi, Ellie, Atlas, and Luke were + her wanting her own kid but also knowing that said kid will not have what she had with Novi/Ellie/Atlas/Luke

I wanna find out and still even right now If I engage in the journey we went about again Though I am no longer walking next to you One day, I know I'll find the truth

24-27: Deena, knowing that despite everyone else dying and still being around as ghosts, it is her and her alone that must keep on with their goal of protecting Aurelia until the Sun returns while Novi contemplates if she should go and join Zariya on her journey but ultimately knowing she should since she promised and wants to know if the Sun will truly be back

And we begin, right to the story Out to meet people in this journey So hurry up, our chase will go on forever Ever, ever, ask for how long

28-31: Deena, helping set up SCI despite having a silent fear of what’ll happen to SCI come her inevitable death; Novi, keeping her promise to Deena by joining Zariya on her journey once the girl turns of age; Zariya, starting her journey not knowing her destiny and wanting to achieve her goal of becoming a Gold Tamer

And now that story unfolds into A journey that, alone, I set out to I meet the locals of every town I stop in They all are recalling the person that you were

32-35: Zariya continuing and inevitably finishing His legacy of War once and for all but only knowing that she and Deena are fighting for Solus’ return + everyone she meets idolizing Deena as the youngest Grandmaster the Guild has seen in decades/everyone idolizing Novi as being Ulzar reincarnate for killing the Old King like said Original Hero did

Unwavering kindness is spoken of you Acting all cool in everything you'd do Here and there, we can find scattered symbols around Manifesting battle we won for peace

36-39: Zariya finding out that despite everyone else seeing Deena as a waste due to her helping start SCI, SCI + the Alliance looking at Deena on par with the Legendary Hero for standing up against the Guild and getting SCI rolling/Zariya finding statues and other memorabilia of Novi’s legacy through said ghost’s former traveling companions

And even that was left for me so one day I wouldn't find myself alone, becoming lonely And I call to mind every moment of our journey When I see the signs left in these scenes

40-43: Post-Realization Zariya receiving Deena’s diary from Carlos bc Deena wanted her to have it + her realizing (and coming to terms with) Deena was forced by Fate to leave her at the Orphanage but still tried her best while they were able to still meet and bond

Many days tinted in fairy tale scenes Have arrived at the end, proof we have seenIt was that moment, our fateful meeting One percent of the journey, spent with me

44-47: Zariya helping Deena wake up from her Nightmare by reminding her of the short yet impactful time they shared and Post-Nightmare Deena being at peace with but still apologizing for the little time she had with Zariya

Even if your courage is swept away to the distance And the wind has taken what everybody can recall I will bring you on with me into the future's light I've taken your hand in mine

48-51: Novi swearing to make sure Deena’s death was not in vain and avenge her little sister post-bunker incident and Deena remembering the promise she made to Lucifer about bringing back the Sun and only being sorry she wasn’t able to live long enough to see it through but trusting in Zariya

I know it all began right at that time Mundane everyday signs The moments ignited in laughter with you remain My reflections of those times go on as brightly shining scenes I wanna find out, and still even right now Looking back, it's you, standing and so proud Evermore gently smiling right at me, without a sound I'm perceiving you around

52-59: Post-Realization Zariya visiting Nara’s statue to leave an offering at Tikala’s urging and just signing out her feelings

Out to learn people in this journey Story of the end of hero Forever, ever, ever, as we now walk

60-62: Novi relearning how to be human through Zariya’s journey and finally letting go of her past to restart her future while Post-Main Plot Zariya finally breaks Omnicron’s legacy and is help heal all the damage caused by the Endless Night

Now a new beginning has begun to be and In this land that you protected and kept in safety These budding lives are with me on this journey

Finally done after 2 MONTHS. 😭
