[No one]

"Okay, we might be a bit lost," Sherenidy admitted, glancing around in an abandoned End city they had found.

"I honestly don't understand how we managed to do that," Aphmau muttered.

"Wasn't the way pretty much only a straight line?" Dream questioned. He had looked at the map, he remembered the way and it wasn't supposed to end in a place like that.

"What if we looked at the wrong map.?" Tommy inquired, even if he didn't even believe that himself.

"There's something wrong about this.." Taurtis mumbled.

"Why the fuck are we in an abandoned End city?" Mao groaned.

"What if it wasn't marked on the map and we have just stopped too early?" Dexter suggested. He was a bit unsure about his own answer too.

"Such a weird place.." Sherenidy mumble and ran her hand through her pumpkin orange hair.

"╎ ᔑ⊣∷ᒷᒷ ∴╎ℸ ̣ ⍑ ||𝙹⚍. ℸ ̣ ⍑╎ᓭ !¡ꖎᔑᓵᒷ ╎ᓭ ∴ᒷ╎∷↸ ᔑリ↸ ╎ ↸𝙹リ'ℸ ̣  ⍑ᔑ⍊ᒷ ᔑ ⊣𝙹𝙹↸ ⎓ᒷᒷꖎ╎リ⊣ ᔑʖ𝙹⚍ℸ ̣  ╎ℸ ̣.." Godiva admitted, turning to look at her sibling.

"There has to be some kind of explanation to this," Dream muttered.

"I agree with Dream," Dexter nodded.

"I know this place.." Xelqua whispered. His voice was quiet, but everyone heard it.

"What's this place then?" Mao inquired carefully, trying not to poke the ice.

"The Durose Academy... This was where Pearl died.." Xelqua whispered. Everyone went completely silent, not knowing what to say.

"..Then why are we here..?" Sherenidy was the first to break the silence.

"Because I wanted to join you, but I need a bit of help," A soft, but cold female voice spoke from the shadows and everyone turned around to face a transparent female.

"Good to see you too, Pearlescent," Taurtis hummed to his fellow Lost Soul.

"You don't have to call me by my full name," Pearl hummed quietly. She didn't really show emotions, but she was just a Lost Soul after all.

"ᔑ∷ᒷ ∴ᒷ リ𝙹∴ ᓭℸ ̣ ⚍ᓵꖌ ∴╎ℸ ̣ ⍑ ᔑリ𝙹ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ∷ ⊣⍑𝙹ᓭℸ ̣ ? ⊣∷ᒷᔑℸ ̣ !" Godiva just straight away broke the tension between everyone.

"They're not ghosts, they're Lost Souls," Sherenidy corrected immediately. "I am the only ghost here," She added, reminding everyone of the fact that she was dead.

"What do you actually want from us, Pearl?" Mao ignored the 3rd in command, taking the hold of the situation.

"I wanna help you. Sam took my life too, you see," Pearl explained coldly.

"Why would you lead us here..?" Xelqua whispered quietly. The whole place was bringing back bad memories of Pearl's death.

"╎ ⍑ᔑ⍊ᒷ ᔑ ⊣⚍ᒷᓭᓭ!" Godiva jumped in. "╎リ ℸ ̣ ⍑╎ᓭ !¡ꖎᔑᓵᒷ ⍑ᒷ∷ ᓭ𝙹⚍ꖎ ᓵᔑリ ⊣ᒷℸ ̣  ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ᓵꖎ𝙹ᓭᒷᓭℸ ̣  ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ⍑ᒷ∷ ʖ𝙹↸|| ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑリ ᔑリ||∴⍑ᒷ∷ᒷ ᒷꖎᓭᒷ ʖᒷᓵᔑ⚍ᓭᒷ ℸ ̣ ⍑╎ᓭ ╎ᓭ ∴⍑ᒷ∷ᒷ ᓭ⍑ᒷ ꖎ𝙹ᓭℸ ̣  ⍑ᒷ∷ ꖎ╎⎓ᒷ, ᔑᒲ ╎ ᓵ𝙹∷∷ᒷᓵℸ ̣ ?" She suggested.

"I would actually agree with that," Sherenidy nodded.

"Hold on! You want us to bring you back somehow.?" Aphmau jumped in. She wasn't going to lie, that sounded like the worst thing to do on the moment.

"Yes, I want to be brought back to a physical-like body," Pearl nodded.

"We're in the middle of nowhere! Where the fuck do you expect us to get you a body from?" Tommy groaned. He just wanted to get to the battlefield and get over with the whole fight.

"This whole thing sounds kinda questionable.." Dream admitted.

"We don't need a body to bring her back. We can just use her own, but just make it a bit more physical," Sherenidy explained and examined Pearl with her eyes. He needed to figure out if he was going to make it through the whole process.

"You actually know something we can do?" Mao inquired.

"I'm not a puppet master without a reason," Sherenidy hummed.

"ʖ⚍ℸ ̣  ℸ ̣ ╎ᓵꖌ-ℸ ̣ 𝙹ᓵꖌ, ᒲ|| ↸ᒷᔑ∷! ∴ᒷ'∷ᒷ ᓭℸ ̣ ᔑ∷ℸ ̣ ╎リ⊣ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ∷⚍リ 𝙹⚍ℸ ̣  𝙹⎓ ℸ ̣ ╎ᒲᒷ!" Godiva reminded them.

"ᓵ𝙹↸'s right," Dexter nodded hesitatedly.

"Pearl could really help us with Sam and we definitely need all the help we can get," Xelqua spoke out loud. People didn't really know how to say something back to that.

"So, looks like we're bringing you back, Pearlescent Electra Moon, or rather;
!¡ᒷᔑ∷ꖎᒷᓭᓵᒷリℸ ̣  ᒷꖎᒷᓵℸ ̣ ∷ᔑ ᒲ𝙹𝙹リ," Sherenidy hummed and looked at the Lost Soul.

"Are you willing to bring me back?" Pearl tilted her head.

"I mean, I can try," Sherenidy grinned. She actually hadn't done anything like that every before with someone else.

"If you go and die again, I swear-" Mao groaned, but she cut him off.

"I know, I know! I just don't exactly know what I'm doing," She hummed and gently took Pearl's wrist to examine it.

"We could also just keep going," Aphmau reminded, getting Tommy and Dream to nod along. The three of them hadn't been around The Council long enough to know how things worked around there.

"I swear to the fucking Irene!" Sherenidy groaned and gave the trio a warning glare to remind them to stay away from the important business.

"Is It really gonna be a good idea.?" Dexter didn't hesitate a lot. He knew that his sibling knew what they were up to, but he just wanted to make sure she was gonna make the right choice.

"I pretend to know perfectly what the fuck am I doing!" Sherenidy snorted and turned to face Pearl again.

"ᓭ𝙹ᒲᒷ𝙹リᒷ'ᓭ ⊣𝙹リリᔑ ↸╎ᒷ," Godiva grinned, earning a slight slap on the head from Dexter.

"Pearl, do you trust us?" Xelqua suddenly asked from his old friend.

"I know I can trust you," Pearl hummed and looked at all the people in their small group.

"I think it's time for Pearl to actually come back, at least somehow," Taurtis, who had been surprisingly quiet, spoke out finally.

"We could use some help," Mao admitted out loud.

"I mean, we really could, but do we have time?" Aphmau pointed out.

"It won't take that long," Sherenidy hummed and pulled out her Deger.

"ᓭ⍑ᒷリ, are you sure you wanna stab her with Deger?" Xelqua grinned. He knew Deger had witchcraft powers, but he didn't know how it would reach to the transparent form of the Lost Soul.

"I literally wanna stab everyone with Deger," Sherenidy admitted.

"Will this end well..?" Tommy whispered his question to Xelqua.

"I really don't know," Xelqua admitted to him.

"This won't end well," Dexter hummed.

Sherenidy slowly pushed her dagger into Pearl's wrist and began mumbling something in a language the others didn't recognize.

Soon Pearl was standing in front of them, looking like an actual human. But of course they all knew her new form was just an illusion.

"Hey Pearl," Xelqua greeted her quietly. She looked too alive and it was hurting him. They had been close friends, like siblings, before Pearl had lost her life.

"I think it succeeded. I don't really know since I'm not actually that good with the puppeting magics," Sherenidy panted slightly after using her energy.

"Looks like it did," Pearl hummed and examined her new body with her eyes.

"I don't want to ruin your moment, but we really have to keep going," Aphmau reminded them all.

"Right! We. Have. To. Go!" Sherenidy hummed and glanced at everyone.

"Are we ready to continue?" Mao inquired and everyone gave him a nod as an answer.

"Let's keep going then," Xelqua gave the order as the group's leader.

"╎ ℸ ̣ ⍑╎リꖌ ∴ᒷ ⍑ᔑ⍊ᒷ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ᓵ𝙹リℸ ̣ ╎リ⚍ᒷ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ℸ ̣ ⍑╎ᓭ ↸╎∷ᒷᓵℸ ̣ ╎𝙹リ, ʖᒷᓵᔑ⚍ᓭᒷ ∴ᒷ ᓵᔑᒲᒷ ⎓∷𝙹ᒲ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑℸ ̣  𝙹リᒷ," Godiva pointed at the directions.

"We actually came from that direction," Dexter grinned and showed a complete difference direction to the ravenette.

"Btw, I just wanted to remind you that we're actually in the middle of a war, keep that in mind," Sherenidy grinned.

"Sometimes we just tend to forget everything important," Dream grinned behind his white porcelain man's with a smiley face on it.

"But now, let's march straight towards our demise," Mao sighed and began leading the group for Xelqua, who didn't want to be in charge of them getting to the right place in time.

"Five more minutes of walking and then we have to face him," Taurtis hummed, he was being quiet the whole time.

"Amazing! Any last world's from anyone?" Sherenidy mumbled.

"At least we die protecting someone," Xelqua reminded.

"This probably won't end well, but at least we're here together," Dexter hummed.

"𝙹⚍∷ ʖᒷᓭℸ ̣  ∴╎ꖎꖎ ʖᒷ ᒷリ𝙹⚍⊣⍑," Godiva curved her lips to a smile.

"We're gonna fight 'till the end," Mao added.

"It'll be a pleasure to fight along with you," Aphmau hummed.

"Are we ready to go and finally face the enemy?" Sherenidy tilted her head to the direction of an End city.

"Thank you for everything," Xelqua whispered and looked at his siblings.

"It's now or never, do or die," Sherenidy hummed.

A few more encourages later the group was finally ready to go and face the unknown beats that was waiting for them in the building along with his "helpers".

They were finally going to a war..
