Suddenly, there was a rustling in the trees, and a blonde boy dropped down, touching the ground.
He had yellow lion-ears and a tail that was swishing side to side, and curious blue eyes.
Tilting his head to the side, the lion laguz spoke.
"...Welcome back."
Ahri jumped as somebody dropped from the trees. "Holy crap, you scared me. But, uh.. thank you." She said quietly.
DAMIEN:
"Peace at last, don't you agree brother?" He tried to cheer him up. The village soon felt weaker as Miriam was offered to the goddess. The announcement soon made it through the village. "What?! Miriam is dead?" He said, turning to Daemon. "Why..?"
-Daemon-
Daemon had nodded, but then froze as the announcement came.
"When did she... how...?!" He bit his lip.
"Let's go to Miriam's place, and see what's going on..." Daemon growled.
-Shinji-
"I'm very sorry, for I did not mean to startle you." Shinji apologized with a soft voice.
"I've been wondering when the other Laguz would return..."
Miriam began to gasp for air. Her body began to feel lighter, and she emitted a bright white aura. She felt herself fading away, the magic in her finally free from her old, frail body. It swirled up to the heavens, and Miriam's final thought was with Syndra.
Oh Goddess Ashera... please, take me as a sacrifice and protect the others... and may you save Syndra's soul.
