Seiren blushes at Layfon's praise, given emphasis by her brethren Vampire goading at her from behind. "You flatter me, sir. But thank you. Do you.... desire to see more of this place?" She takes Layfon by the hand and starts walking with him, followed by the rest as she guides him to the sight of Fallspace.

"We can." Bright answers Repter. "Those supports are easily found outside the structure. They're power spires that keep Daspire's magic supply running - I've seen it before. All we have to do is plot the power spire locations and knock them down in sync. Then Ophelia Kifer can inflitrate the tower and destroy it as such."

At Samuel's mentioning, Bright smiles. "Yeah... that mystified you, huh? That second-skin invention I used to fake my death... when you cut me down as per my request... the damage you did to 'kill me' reverberated to my main body and  left a mortal wound on my chest. Well... it made death a bigger truth than expected. (Raises his hands) Of course, I had this prepared. (Points to an ornate metal medallion on his neck, centered  by a red gem) The Soul Diadem - it allows one's soul to be temporarily transferred inside, and once worn by another person my soul jumps to the body and takes possession."

Kida : Bright...

Bright smiles. He rubs Kida's head lovingly. "Hey. I asked for it. This is what I got as a result. Also... the person whose body I'm sharing... he fully consented to it, no worries. He and I are a tandem here. It's a similar case to Jeiel Yozama and Circe. Don't beat yourself up, Samuel."

Samuel lowers his head. "I am glad that... you hold no.... disrepancy against me."

"Pish posh. We live and forget." Bright replies. "The more important thing right now.. is that we end this war and that's that. Am I right?" The Blood Order exchange brief nods.

Konigia: There is a training hall below this level. Midarith.. (the Vampire bows at the utterance of her name) ... will bring you there. (Stands up) Our meeting is adjourned for now. We will call you all once more... at the dawn of the battle.

The Clowin all fly off into black wisps, Ioka and Arith following with formal bows of exuberance at Ophelia. Raggedy Bottom is silent. She walks off beside Samuel.. her face betwixt in worry.

On the other hand... the Vampires all stare as Pir'e is suddenly brought to a halt before the stranger. They look at Lyndis."You know the pale one, Lyndi-ne?" said a younger Vampire.

Lyndis fixes her sleeve and replies, "Why, yes. We know each other. We used to travel.. she and I. (TO Pir'e) Pir'e, dear.. you never realized it, but this is what I really am. A Bathorie of the Naether.... I only guised as a Vampire as normal as you when we were up there. I returned here.... because this is home. You should understand... given that you've already found yours."

Furai : Make haste. DO what you must. I will remain here... as your exit. (Ash nods and she and Joseph walk into the empty halls)

Both Ash and Joseph notice the cells of Quitonne... have all been emptied. No contained Naetherkin remained... which made Ash look left to right in dismay. "Joseph... can you discern the presence of other Naetherkin here? Maybe you can sense beyond the gloom that lies before us. Mine appears to have been dulled... I am obscured whenever I am here."
