Darkness. What had happened? Grant opened his eyes and saw Savayna. They were no longer in his mother's room. He got up, scratching his head. How did he get out? All he remembered was Savayna, and he realized she was right and...now they were back? "[b]Well...that was embarrassing.[/b]" He stated, his voice slightly wavering, and it was then he realized he still had tears on his face. "[b]Heh...I'm pathetic.[/b]" He murmured. After quickly wiping them away, he took in a deep breath and then exhaled. He looked at Savayna, and without waiting for a reaction, quickly pulled her into a hug. "[b]Thank you.[/b]"

Emiri halted her dagger at Jaakuna's request. As the real Emiri opened her mouth to explain, Duplicate Emiri beat her to it. "[b]Jaakuna--it's me--[/b]" She told him, reaching out for him. Emiri glared at her, and the urge to just knife her right there and then grew. She shouldn't have stopped, she could have erased her and only had Lola to deal with, and in the position they were in, things weren't looking good for her."[b]They're duplicates--copies of me.[/b]"

"[b]Jaakuna, please, I don't know what's going on, but you have to believe me.[/b]" Lola told him, looking at him. "[b]Why would I lie to you?[/b]"

"[b]No! Jaakuna, don't listen to them![/b]" Emiri herself called out.

Lola shot a glare at Emiri. "[b]You're obviously the fakes, you were apparently too lazy to copy my bow.[/b]" She waved the Artemis Bow around.

"[b]That's because you stole it from me![/b]" Duplicate Emiri yelled.

"[b]Jaakuna, neither of them are real![/b]" Emiri said.

"[b]Jaakuna![/b]"

"[b]Jaakuna![/b]"

"[b]Jaakuna![/b]"

Nadeline smiled, hugging Wesley tighter. She wasn't sure if she wanted to know what had happened, but she managed to get through to him. She held onto him tightly, her heart hurting for him. She didn't recognize the look of this place, but she was sure some of the dead bodies may have belonged to his. Still, she was sure the illusion should have ended, but it didn't yet. "[b]It's okay. Everything is going to be alright now.[/b]" She assured him gently. "[b]We're going to get out of here, and everything will be alright. You have nothing to fear anymore, I will protect you. No harm will come to you, not as long as I'm around.[/b]"

"[b]Something so trivial...but alright.[/b]" Shion stated, shaking her head, though she regained her composure. His stance was rather sturdy, getting the first hit wouldn't be easy, but she was sure in her own skill. She stared right at him, still for a moment, though standing around would get her nowhere. Still, this was the first time in a very long time that a fight was just a spar, so she would have to hold back, if only to avoid outright killing him. She wanted to see his physical strength and after brandishing her katana, she went in for the first strike with a very simple, quick horizontal strike.
