Chapter 35: Nearing the End
Two weeks later...
Nyria: "(opening eyes) Where..."
Veld: "At the inn."
Nyria: "(shaking head) Veld?"
Nyria slowly sits up to find herself inside a room at the inn with Veld.
Nyria: "(confused) Where are the others?"
Veld finishes mixing together a medicine and puts a cap on it.
Veld: "They're out to get something to eat."
Nyria: "And your not?"
Veld: "Well someone had to stay here to ensure that you're okay."
Nyria notices her bandana at the side and begins to tie it back on her head.
Nyria: "What happened?"
Veld: "An overexertion of your energy, it's a side effect of the awakening procedure."
Nyria finishes tying the bandana and sits on the edge of the bed.
Nyria: "(smiling) Thanks for looking after me."
Veld: "(blushing) N-No problem!"
A knock is heard.
Nyria: "Go ahead."
The others walk in, carrying an assortment of food in their arms.
Makoh: "Y-You're awake!"
Rox immediately begins to stuff her face.
Rox: "(mouth full) I'm starving!"
Lariat: "(sighing) You can't change a thing for a bit, even when we've found the seventh emotion."
Thoris joins.
Thoris: "(grabbing food) Who can blame her? We haven't had a decent meal in months!"
Owen: "(awkwardly) Don't worry Nyria, we're glad you're conscious again."
Nyria: "(smiling) It's fine, and it also looks funny when someone is stuffing their face in my book!"
Makoh: "H-Heh..."
Veld: "Well you'd to be used to it!"
Nyria tries to stand up, only to face plant into the floor.
Lariat: "Are you okay?"
Nyria: "(laughing) I'm fine!"
They all join before Rox eats it all.
Meanwhile...
Queen: "Is her sign ready?"
A brown leather, armguard with a pink rose petal pattern is given to the queen by a maid.
Maid: "Here you go."
Queen: "They should be here shortly..."
One hour later...
Rox: "(relieved) There we go..."
Owen remembers a message.
Owen: "I almost forgot! The Queen wants to see you Nyria."
Nyria: "Really? Why?"
Lariat: "She said she wanted to give something to you."
Rox: "Oh yeah!"
Nyria walks over to the door.
Nyria: "Well let's go."
Everyone stands up.
Makoh: "Th-Then we need to head out to the Demi."
Thoris: "And thank the gods we don't have to go by boat!"
The heroes quickly arrive at the slightly less ruined building and made their way to the courtyard.
Queen: "There you are."
Nyria: "H-Hello my Queen."
Queen: "You honestly know that you don't need to be formal around me."
Nyria: "O-Of course!"
Veld: "So what is it that you wanted to give Nyria?"
The armguard is held out in the Queen's hands.
Queen: "This, the symbol of a Sprixie warrior."
Nyria shakily reaches out.
Nyria: "D-Doesn't a rose petal mean top rank?"
Nyria holds the guard in her hands.
Queen: "As one who bears the gods gift, you are more than worthy."
Nyria slips it on her left arm.
Nyria: "I... I can't describe the feelings I'm feeling."
Queen: "That's just what I was hoping for."
Nyria begins to tear up.
Makoh: "C-Congrats!"
Nyria wipes away the tears.
Moment of silence...
Queen: "Now then, I assume that you'll be setting out?"
Lariat: "Yes, we've wasted too much time as it is."
Queen: "You'll need to head west of here to get there quickly."
Owen: "That shouldn't be a problem."
Queen: "Now I'd best not keep you here any more."
The heroes begin to leave.
Nyria: "(sniffling) I'm going to do my best!"
They have left the building.
