<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*gets up, but clearly strained*
Yes, we cannot let Old King out of sights.
*pats your head as the fire is still burning on my back*

<Snipped quote by Path>

*Puts out the fire with a wave of purple healing*

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*grabs you hands and shakes my head*
This fire will not die until Old King does. The fire is a Curse.

<Snipped quote by Path>

I-I don't know anything about curses.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*smiles*
It’s okay! We will end him. And the curse will be lifted.
*turns to Acnologia*
Worry not, little one.

<Snipped quote by Path>

*Spins the scythe and plants it into the ground*
We're not done yet.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*breathing slowly and heavily*
Sreig remember this…

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Time Friend ready?
*clenches fist*

<Snipped quote by Asce>

*The air around my feet swirls as I crouch down*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I see. Are most of your objectives so high-stakes?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

No. But the coolness of stories kind of correlates to the stakes.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Time Friend ready?
*clenches fist*

<Snipped quote by Asce>

*The air around my feet swirls as I crouch down*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Chuckles*
I can't argue. If we're fortunate, today will be one of the boring ones.

<Snipped quote by Path>

*Aims my scythe toward Acnologia*
Ready as I'll ever be.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*leaps forward*

*Aims my scythe toward Acnologia*
Ready as I'll ever be.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Holds up my hand, crosses my fingers and smirks very slightly*
