[color=Gray]After so many years, the day had finally come. She had lived her life here, fighting, laughing, crying. Others came and went but through it all she remained. It was fitting that in the end the Order threw a gala. She did her best to laugh and smile, pretending to enjoy herself and reminisce with the others. In truth her heart was breaking. Sure it was just a game to most people but to her this was her only life. She dreaded the thought of being stuck in that prison again, losing everything she had built and fought to preserve. 

The party was dying down as the hour grew near. She quietly slipped away from the hall and used teleportation magic to find one of the highest points in Arce Bellum. On top of one of the tallest towers she could see the town below and the surrounding area. A perfect place to be alone... and to cry. She couldn't help herself. As she sat there thinking of all the wonderful things she'd have to leave behind the tears just came. No one would see her so it was fine. It was almost time, each tick of the clock seemed to last for an eternity. She gazed upon her empire for the last time, the salt of her tears.... wait what? 

She was still in YGGDRASIL yet, she could [i]taste[/i] her tears. She tried to access the menu but it wasn't there. She tried to think, what could be happening? Is she dreaming? No, she could never taste things in her dreams. It was strange, she could feel her body, the soft texture of her robes, she could smell the air, feel the breeze on her face. It was as if she was absolutely living in this world at this moment. Maybe, it could be real? A voice called from below, unfamiliar[/color] "M'Lady I've found you at last!" [color=Gray]It was a female sentry, she looked like she had probably been running around for a while.[/color] "M'Lady, everyone has been summoned to the great hall please make your way there with haste." [color=Gray]Nanami jumped down to the ramparts where the sentry stood.[/color] [color=f6989d]" I'll make my way there now, please return to your duties for now."[/color] [color=Gray]She smiled softly at the sentry. [i]I don't know what's going on but talking NPCs are amazing![/i] The sentry saluted and went on her way. A thought occurred to her that everyone but Greyedout had logged out before the scheduled shut down so did that mean that she and him were the only ones left in the Empire? Maybe, and if all the NPCs were like the sentry then they'll probably be confused about what's going on as well. She'd have to head to the great hall to find out more.[/color]

[color=f6989d]"Greater Teleportation!"[/color]

[color=Gray]In an instant she was in the great hall. She arrived just in time to hear Lord Grey more or less proclaiming himself the new emperor.[/color] [color=f6989d]"Forgive my late arrival Lord Grey, I was um... preoccupied."[/color] [color=Gray]It occurred to her that she most definitely looked like she had been crying, she hoped no one would notice. She surveyed the room. Did this mean they were the only players left?[/color] [color=f6989d]"As you can see you're not the only uh... Greater One in the empire so if you truly don't wish to take the throne then I could possibly bear the mantle. Regardless of whom the successor may be I will endeavor towards the prosperity of this empire as I always have."[/color]
