When Niciel returned to the Valley of Peace, she found that the Angels have not really done much while she was away. The Angels have yet to make any significant progress in anything, really. Rudimentary shelters were built, but it seemed like most of the Angels were content to sit under a tree and either chat with one another or rest. Niciel, too, was content to let them do as they please and see them be happy. Time passed, with little to no interruptions. One day, though, one voice spoke out from the rest. Niciel tracked it to the source, and found that it belonged to Loth. 

Niciel listened to Loth's words, each one striking a cord within Niciel. Niciel looked down at the Angels, wondering about the Valley of Peace. The more she thought, the more she realized that she would need to reconsider a lot of things. Loth made a suggestion, and Niciel complied, granting him things that he would need, and even bestowing upon him a blessing that would prevent him from dying from a single fatal injury and restore him to perfect health. Niciel then wished him luck in his quest.

Falas was currently in the middle of training. More accurately, she was in the middle of swinging her magically constructed blade of holy energy around. There were swift strikes, powerful strikes, and of course there were combo strikes. However, with no one and nothing to use her power against, there was very little improvement to be made. Falas was aware of this, but she persisted regardless. 

Falas turned to swing her blade behind her in a wide arc, only to be greeted with the sight of Loth standing behind her. Falas attempted to stop her blade before it could reach Loth, but Loth had already planned ahead for such a scenario and created a barrier to stop the blade. The yellow blade clashed against the magical blue wall, energy crackling slightly as the two made contact. Falas made her blade dissipate and took a step back in shock. 

"[color=ec008c]Loth! I'm so sorry. Are you alright?[/color]" Falas asked, walking back over to check for wounds.

"[color=6ecff6]I am unharmed,[/color]" Loth replied, raising a hand to ward off Falas' concerns. "[color=6ecff6]I merely came over to tell you something.[/color]"

"[color=ec008c]Really? What?[/color]" Falas asked curiously.

"[color=6ecff6]I am leaving the Valley of Peace,[/color]" Loth answered calmly.

Falas was confused at first, then stunned speechless for a moment as the realization of what Loth had said struck her. "[color=ec008c]L-l-leave? What are you talking about? Why?![/color]" 

Loth turned to the side and stared off into space as he answered, "[color=6ecff6]The Valley of Peace is too... peaceful. There's not much to be done here. I know you understand.[/color]" Loth turned his eyes to stare at Falas and asked, "[color=6ecff6]Can you even tell me honestly that you have improved at all with that flurry of attacks you were making?[/color]" 

Falas was dumbstruck. She stared at Loth for a moment, then recovered from her shock and responded, "[color=ec008c]Well, where are you going to go? Do you even know what's out there?[/color]"

"[color=6ecff6]No, and that is [i]exactly[/i] why I am leaving. Have you not seen it yet? The Valley of Peace will indeed keep us safe from harm, but we are also separated from all other outside influences. As a result, nothing will change.[/color]" Loth explained. He turn turned back to Falas and pointed a finger at her, continuing, "[color=6ecff6][i]That[/i] is what you are rejecting. You fear the dangers of the outside world, which is understandable, but you also fear the unknown, and as a result, fear change occurring within the Valley of Peace. I intend to fix this by wandering around the world outside the Valley. By doing so, I will learn everything I can about this world. The dangers, the benefits, life forms, materials, [i]everything[/i].[/color]" 

Falas listened to every word Loth had to say. She had no responses or rebuttals to anything he said. If anything, the more Loth spoke, the more Falas agreed with what he said. Finally, Falas said, "[color=ec008c]If that's the case, I'm coming with you.[/color]" 

Loth immediately responded with, "[color=6ecff6]I had suspected you would say something like that, but I must refuse.[/color]"

"[color=ec008c]And why not?[/color]" Falas asked. "[color=ec008c]You can't expect to handle everything on your own.[/color]"

"[color=6ecff6]One, it's because you need to stay here and lead the Angels,[/color]" Loth said.

"[color=ec008c]Wait, l-lead?[/color]" Falas asked in surprise. Before she could say anything else, though, Loth continued, "[color=6ecff6]And two, I will not be alone.[/color]" Loth took out a blue crystal from a fold in his robe and allowed a tiny fraction of his magic to flow into it. The crystal glowed, and in moments, there was a shadow on the ground next to Loth. Falas noticed this and looked up to see the source of it, and the creature in the sky landed. Falas was surprised to see such an odd-looking creature, having never seen one before. 

"[color=6ecff6]This is a creature called a 'White Giant',[/color]" Loth explained. "[color=6ecff6]This is one such creature that would appear outside the Valley of Peace, although none have wings like this one.[/color]" Indeed, this White Giant had been tamed and blessed by Niciel, and the key to summoning it had already been given to Loth. 

Loth reached over to pet one of the White Giant's arms, then said to Falas, "[color=6ecff6]You are the only one I trust who can become a leader for the Angels, leading them to something great. I have faith in your capabilities.[/color]"

"[color=ec008c]And how am I supposed to do that?[/color]" Falas asked him. "[color=ec008c]How am I supposed to be a leader when I don't even know what to do?[/color]" 

"[color=6ecff6]You are the most powerful Angel in the Valley of Peace,[/color]" Loth said. "[color=6ecff6]I suspect that most of the Angels will listen to you. You have also been blessed by Mother Niciel. I doubt many Angels will deny your capabilities. In case you need my advice, however, use this.[/color]" Loth then pulled out another crystal, this one clear, and handed it to Falas. Loth pulled out a similar crystal to show Falas and said, "[color=6ecff6]These will allow us to communicate with each other no matter where we are. Mother Niciel told me that we should stay connected while I am away and created them.[/color]" 

Loth floated up onto the back of the White Giant, landing gently onto it, then said to Falas, "[color=6ecff6]I suggest you get the Angels a bit more used to the area outside the Nice Mountains for a start.[/color]" The White Giant then took off, entering the sky and leaving behind the Valley of Peace. Falas stared at the White Giant as it flew, and only once it was out of sight did she sigh. She realized that she had a daunting task ahead of her now. She could only hope that things would go up from there.
