Taco: "It's not a riddle, it's the answer."
Luna: "Uhh, pretty sure it ain't."
Taco: *He kicked his legs like a child.* "Onward to the next door. May the Astragons be in your favour."
Luna: "Lame." *She grunted and hesitantly shuffled to another door.* "Why do these things keep happenin'?"
Taco: "Because you don't understand what you're opening."
Luna: "I'm. Opening. A. Fuckin'. Door."
Taco: "Your language is so upsetting."
Luna: "Deal with it and answer the question."
Taco: "These are representations of your inner emotions."
Luna: "I'm startin' to get pissed."
Taco: "Yoody..."
Luna: "Yoody." *She grunted like Taco was an idiot.*
Taco: "In order to gain something of importance, an equal amount of effort must first be used as a form of equal exchange."
Luna: "Wat? Getting burnt? Stabbed? Aye?!"
Taco: "Why do you travel with your guild?"
Luna: "'Cause they're my friends?"
Taco: *He shook his head.* "No."
Luna: "They're not my friends?"
Taco: "That's not what I meant."
Luna: "I'm with them 'cause I'm part of the team."
Taco: "Open the door." *He spoke with urgency, watching Luna open the door.*
Luna: *She squinted her eyes and watched a stream of lightning violently pierce into her chest.* "Gah!-"
Taco: "Why do you fight for your team?!"
Luna: "'Cause." *She wheezed the word, as she uncontrollably twitched.*
Taco: "Open another door!"
Luna: "'Cause they make me feel like a person!" *She screamed and opened up the door, causing two spears of ice to slice into her shoulders.*
Taco: "What do you want?!"
Luna: "I dunno!" *She whimpered in pain and rushed towards another door.*
Taco: "What do you want?!"
Luna: "I dunno! Friends?!" *She opened the door and four rose-like vines, violently pierced into her neck.*
Taco: "What. Do. You. Want?!"
Luna: "...." *Her eyes started to water, as she dragged her feet to another door.*
Destiny: (Luna! Stop it! I can feel your pain!-)
Luna: *She frowned in determination.* "I wasn't expectin' to do this shit."
Taco: "Yoody! Irrelevant!"
Luna: *She watched another door clip itself open in her presence.* "If I am some Rostickal User, then I can help even more, aye."
Taco: *He silently smirked, as he continued to casually sit on Luna's shoulder, unaffected by the hazards.* "..."
Luna: "Fuck!" *She screamed and violently opened the door, anticipating for something to hurt her.*
Taco: "..."
Luna: *She slowly and hesitantly opened her eyes.* "Nothin'?"
Taco: "You're almost there."
Luna: "There's nothin' inside, and why didn't anythin' hurt me?"
Taco: "Believe it or not, a majority of fighters want to get stronger for themselves, or to protect others."
Luna: "Isn't that wat I said?"
Taco: "It seems your Remenistal Using side was sealed-" *He watched yellow lightning ignite and spark in the middle of the darkened room, revealing platform-like pedestals which couldn't be seen previously.*
Luna: "Wat's that?"
Destiny: (Luna! Every part of my being is tingling.)
Luna: (Eww.)
Destiny: (Luna!) *She sounded annoyed.*
Luna: *She took awkward breaths, as if she was recovering from the previous door's hazards.* "Wat's that?"
Taco: "Your Remenistal Using side."
Luna: "Seriously, if all I had to do was open up doors to receive a powerup, that would be an asspull thing."
Taco: "Yoody?"
Luna: "Ah, doesn't matter." *She hesitantly stepped inside the room.* "The way you worded it, why was mine different to protectin' others?"
Taco: "The desire to get strong to protect others is a selfish act."
Luna: "Selfish?"
Taco: "Your drive had nothing to do with you. You truly put others before yourself."
Luna: "... Aye."
Taco: (Which will yoody be her greatest and weakest asset of her personality.)
Luna: "So, I just stare at this lightning?"
Taco: "I wonder why this was sealed in the first place?"
Luna: *She shrugged her shoulders.* "It might've happened when I was in the warrior dungeon?"
Taco: "Sorrowprax?"
Luna: "Yea." *She nodded her head.* "They might've done somethin', aye."
Taco: *As Luna stepped closer to the lightning, he noticed a ball of condensed glyphs.* "There it is."
Luna: *She looked at the lightning and the ball of glyphs.* "It's like the lightning is keeping that ball of light in a cage."
Taco: "The layers of glyphs...-" *He glanced around the room and back outside, noticing the golden light.* (It's remarkably similar to The Voice of On.)
Luna: "Wat next?"
Taco: "What's next? Where did you yoody learn how to speak English?"
Luna: "From yoody-ville, dipshit. Now, wat's next?"
Taco: "We need to learn how to obtain the glyphs without touching the lightning." *He looked up in recollection.* "These things are usually answered previously, we just need to think wat we did."
Luna: *She reached forward and touched the lightning, causing it to instantly break its contained movement.* "Yew."
Taco: *He looked surprised.* "That lightning was raw in power-"
Luna: "Elementalist." *She looked at Taco like he was an idiot and swayed her wrist, causing the lightning to spark into nothing.*
Taco: (Two powerful bloodlines. Was it right for us to break this seal?)
Luna: *She reached forward and touched the ball of condensed glyphs, causing them to suddenly run up her arm.* "Aye?" *She watched the light fade into her skin.*
Taco: "What do you yoody feel?"
Luna: "Pain!" *She scrunched her eyes shut and dropped to her knees, trying to contain her growing screams.*
Destiny: (Yeu! It hurts! Yeup!)
Luna: "Gah-" *She opened her eyes in shock and noticed she kneeled in front of Coco.*
Coco: "Welcome back, sleepyhead."
Luna: "Kgh-" *She coughed out sprinkles of saliva and took deep breaths.*
Destiny: *She observed the area from Luna's perspective.* (We're back in the village?)
Luna: "We never left from this spot, aye."
Coco: *She smiled.* "How did you know?"
Luna: "My footprints." *She glanced at the evenly pressed dirt, noticing no additional footprints.*
Coco: "Did Taco do his job?"
*Destiny suddenly appeared beside Luna in a flash of purple light, catching Coco's attention.*
Coco: "Welcome back."
Destiny: (How do you feel?)
Luna: (For some reason, I don't feel any different.)
Coco: "What Remenistal did you learn?"
Luna: "Aha." *She smirked at Coco as if she already knew the answer to her question.*
Destiny: (Luna?) "Yeup?"
Luna: *She stood up straight and slowly inhaled through her nose.* "Why did you help us?"
Coco: "Call it selfishness."
Luna: "Aye?"
Destiny: "Yeup?" *They looked at Coco in confusion.*
Coco: "You are the guild that will defeat the biggest threat this world has seen in a very long time."
Luna: "Pssht-" *She waved her hand at Coco.* "You're so full of shit. Ain't that Consultant the ultra bad guy?"
Coco: "His goal doesn't threaten this world."
Luna: "Wateva." *She sniffed and flicked her white hair over her shoulder.* "Anythin' else you want from me?"
Coco: "Laughter."
Luna: "Nah, I'll pass. Cheers for the yoody tacobell."
Coco: *She silently smiled and watched Luna walk away from her.* (Is it the culture from her world, or is it just her? What a fascinating woman.)
----------
*Rachael and Nathan looked at Jester in amazement.*
Rachael: "This is very fascinating." *She looked at Nathan.* "It reminds me of those family tree shows I used to watch while working out."
Nathan: "What's that?"
Rachael: "It's where you find the descendants of your family, which can be traced back to different countries."
Nathan: "How odd. Everyone knows who their ancestors are."
Jester: "How odd that we all branched off the first Aurorion Users."
Rachael: "That explains how everyone is able to use Neurons and Astragons."
Nathan: "Umm." *He raised an eyebrow at Rachael.*
Rachael: "It might seem normal to use. But I was curious how everyone used the same energy."
Nathan: "Everyone uses the same air." *He shrugged his shoulders.* "I don't see the fascination in it."
Rachael: "Hehe." *She giggled at herself.* "Maybe it's just me then?"
Nathan: *He looked at Jester.* "So what else do you know?"
Jester: "Many things."
Nathan: "Come on, surprise us." *He smirked and leant more on the table towards Jester.*
Rachael: (Straight to the point. I like it, Nath.) *She thought to herself with a smile.*
Jester: "For instance, you've been forewarned by a Radiaton User-" *He looked at Rachael, then towards Nathan.* "And you're unable to learn the name of your Ougi until you grow past your childish attachments towards Remenistal."
Nathan: "What?"
Rachael: "Pardon me?"
Jester: "You told me to surprise you, so I did." *He smirked.*
Nathan: "The name of my Ougi?" *He mumbled under his breath.*
Jester: "Or perhaps I'm wrong and you just haven't used it to its fullest potential?"
Nathan: *He shamefully shook his head.* "No, you're right."
Jester: "In order to hear the words, you need to respect Remenistal."
Nathan: "Respect Remenistal? It's cheap."
Jester: "And you still blame a part of yourself for what happened-"
Nathan: *He quickly stood up.* "How do you know this stuff?!"
Jester: *He discreetly sighed.* (They've become quite strong, but they're not ready yet.)
Rachael: "..." *She looked up to Nathan, slightly puzzled.* "Nath?"
Nathan: "He acts like he knows more than he should, then... Bell." *He mumbled with his deep voice.* "Tell me, how do you know stuff about us."
Jester: "When the balance of life is compromised, we seek help of the one that can use Aurorions and to tell us all those involved."
Nathan: "Now you're not making sense."
Rachael: "Aurorions? I've heard that being used several times. What actually is it?"
Jester: "Aurorions is essentially the energy that keeps this world spinning."
Rachael: "Pretty sure that's just a gravitational pull."
Jester: "Pretty sure you don't understand all the energy in the universe, human woman." *He spoke out of character, quickly putting Rachael back in line.*
Rachael: *She looked down to the table and nodded her head.* "Yes, you're right. I'm sorry."
Nathan: "You haven't answered my question!"
Jester: "It would just be better if you left this room."
Nathan: *He frowned and grunted, before turning around and storming out of the hut.* (How dare he.)
--
*Lezard hobbled towards a door and noticed it slam open, as Nathan storm out of it.*
Lezard: "Nathamottus!-"
Nathan: "Not now, Lezard."
Lezard: *He looked at Nathan, surprised and watched him purposely storm out of his sight.* (He's eyes were watered.)
--
Rachael: *She watched the door close.* "What's wrong with-?"
Jester: "It's his inner demon. It's the reason he's unable to move forward."
Rachael: "I have to slightly agree with Nath. Why don't you just tell us? And excuse me, but forewarned? And by a Radiaton User?"
Jester: "Your Elemental Rage. Your unique ability or should I say situation-"
Lezard: "Welcome, little monsters." *He giggled and skipped into the room.*
Rachael: "Hey, Lezard." *She spoke with a warming smile.*
Lezard: "Ooo, that sensational smile gives Lezard all these delicious goosebumps."
Rachael: "What were you doing?"
Lezard: "I was met by a scrumptious sir named Berry. He told me about elemental splicing."
Rachael: "What's that?"
Lezard: "It's essentially a game these villagers like to do. Did you know that masters of Remenistal are able to cross their elemental affinities over?"
Rachael: "No?"
Lezard: "Of course this can only be done if you have one or more affinities, or if you can Hi-Ougi with another."
Jester: "He taught you rather quickly."
Lezard: "These old bones aren't just for looks." *He giggled and shook his bottom, before helping himself to the seat Nathan sat in.*
Rachael: "What else do you know?"
Lezard: "That sometimes if you eat the wrong kind of berries, your poopie is a different colour."
Rachael: "Eww, hehe."
Jester: "Well, that explains a lot." *He played along with Lezard's sense of humour.*
Rachael: *She recollected her mature-like stature and focused on Jester.* "Please?"
Jester: "Well-" *He adjusted the cone-shaped hat.* "I don't know the details, but I know that it'll be all on your own actions."
