<Snipped quote by Meta>

Seems like a sad existence... I hope you find a love that's truly yours and can't be taken away.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Indeed, it's at these situations we need to be delicate. We still need to find a piece of Jewelry and identify who the voice was before she can lead us to the treasure.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Grins*
I forgot to mention the man who stole it. I don't want it back anymore, because it's where it was always meant to be.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Oh? So it was a consensual theft.

*I look around the interior of the castle, as we take each step the surroundings begin to turn back into how it was before it was ruined with golden gilded flags and blue silk cloths adorning the long hallways.*

This place has seen better days...

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

It is now. Hard to say it ever is to start with.
*Glances down a long hallway*
Should we split up, or do you want to stick together?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

From what I saw through Noct... If we follow this hallway we'll catch up with the wisps... I think sticking together is better. Though there are other places to explore, such as the upper floors. I reckon one of the rooms here must have the jewelry we're looking for.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Just don't grab the wrong thing. I've seen that mistake before, and it's rarely pretty.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

How so?

*I make a turn that leads towards winding stairs*

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Usually there's some kind of trap. Mutilation, poison, collapse, you know.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Fair enough... But I wonder how much of that'll be present. It seems more like this place is under some sort of curse.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

A curse we can hopefully avoid catching ourselves.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I don't think it's that kind of curse... The shadows... The silouhettes... The whole place transforming from ruins to how they were before whatever tragedy befell this kingdom... It feels more like this place is stuck.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

I mean, there’s always a chance of becoming a permanent resident, no?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I don't wanna know what it takes to become permanent here.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

That's why we've got to stay on our toes.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Fair enough.

*We reach the upper floors where silouhettes of different people appear and idle chatter fills the hallways*

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

An existence with purpose for all...
*Stares out into space.*
Yes I like that Existence, Aeron.

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

We have much to do. Many worlds to liberate. Many to set free from their chains. I am privleged to have you along for the journey. I look forward to getting to know you, friend.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Chains were meant to be broken, and I will break them.
*Chuckles*
And I will look forward to helping you along the journey.
