Re'Ni felt a lot of excitement and jumped up from the bed "Visit
Library first! Never seen library before!" she then lowered her
head bit and spoke somewhat quiety "Though must meet other crew
eventually. Re'Ni can't hide from people forever."
-
Out of the darkness a shadowy and blury window to another place
is formed, within it stands Viol'ita looking confused and
worried. The voices start speaking again "We can give her and
you a second chance, to travel back before everything happened
and change her fate, to live another reality with her, to
correct what has been brought upon this life. ...If you walk
away, if you touch the orb, you will lose her forever." The
golden dragoness starts talking within the alternate reality
"Where am I? What is this place?".

Tec's smile faded as Re'Ni's excitement died, and he climbed
down from the bed to be near her, "Don't worry yourself about
the Valorians. They are... outcasts, of their society. As such,
they were exiled from their homes. And, well, this ship needed
crew and they needed somewhere to live. The deal is that they
get beds, food, and the other necessitates while they worked for
us. To tell you the truth, we also offered them monetary payment
but most of them have refused, for whatever reason. They're good
people, trust me. And once I get you proper clearance, you won't
worry about one even thinking of causing you trouble! Anyways,
the library is right this way." Tec then walked out the door,
and waited for Re'Ni to accompany him down the halls.
-
Xefr froze, and stared dumbfounded at the sight. He was utterly
unprepared to see a vision of his past life's wife, whom he had
spent so much time grieving for. Stumbling out some words, the
Old Drake tried to speak to the image, "Vi...? Is that you?"
Myst reacted as well. The Shard's mask of calm was lifted at
this sight, and instead was replaced by a look of terror. He
knew this test had no happy ending for him. Eventually however,
fear turned to anger, as Myst started talking under his breath,
"...That's just bloody low..." The Shard then ran up beside his
companion, and started shaking him with his forward paws, "Don't
be fooled you old coot! Nothing can bring her back! Don't you
remember how long we tried?! The test is just messing with you!"
But this only seemed to partially register in Xefr's head, as
his attention was focused on the blurry window.

She rised her head again with a subtle smile on it "Mhm, ok.
Valorian do sound like good folk! But meet later." Re'Ni closed
up to Tec again as they were walking down the hallway ..she
felt that presence again, but she was determined to not let it
dictate her mind anymore. No, she decided she would have a good
day and nothing could wreck it.
-
The dragoness inside the window was unable to see, or hear her
husband, looking around in her dark room, filled with fear. The
voices started talking again "She cannot hear you, she is not of
this world ..but we could change all this, change her fate and
yours. You may refuse, but if you do, if you walk beside that
gate and grab that orb ..you will lose her forever. You will
always remain wondering.."
Cui seeing how the 'test' was developing and also the frightful
sight of Myst worrying, she decided to act. "Damn goat can't
control her powers it seems." She monologued and run close to
Xefr, talking in a saddened, yet decisive voice "Come on Xery,
no one can bring back the dead, whenever that was tried it only
brought more pain ...it's just a scheme ..and don't you hear
these old spirits; you will never lose her! She'll always live
in your mind and memories."

Tec lead Re'Ni through the halls, eventually reaching the
library. As Tec opened the doors, Re'Ni was exposed to the same
sight Rysannox had seen earlier. The massive rows of bookshelves
were stocked full as usual, though the ladders had slightly
shifted since then. The terminals were still there too. This
time, there was only one Valorian in the room, sitting in the
far back reading a book, totally unaware of the Dragons. Tec
looked over the room with a bit of pride, and looked back to
Re'Ni, "This is the ship's library! There are a lot of books
here, though I mainly use the computer terminals, much easier.
Or maybe it's because I set them up... Ah well, I think I can
afford a bit of vanity."
-
Xefr remained unmoved, but thoughts of all kinds were rampaging
in his head. Logic and emotion were battling it out in the
drake's mind, but the only show of it to the outside world was
his eyes, which looked from left, to right, to the window, and
back to the left. But eventually, with a final look at the
Dragoness, Xefr silently walked over to the orb, and grabbed it.
His eyes were devoid of all emotion, the life sucked out of
them. He looked to the Orb in his hands, and started to mutter,
"I'll never be able to face him again... Forgive me, Vi..."
Myst's terror returned, though it was only a bit lessened. He
couldn't really say anything, for he did not know what would
happen next. He had only seen Essentials break once, and it was
at a simple picture of Viol'ita. This... could go much worse.

Re'Ni started looking left and right at the massive bookshelves
in excitement {"Lot of Books! Re'Ni could spend eternity and
still not read all!"} she turns to Tec looking very happy {"Show
Re'Ni some books to read?"}
-
By the time Xefr touches the orb, a white soundwave and tongues
of light clean the darkness and enlighten everything. The black
dragon however blacks out and enters another realm entirely;
everything around him is white and infront of him stands Vi,
having a wide serene smile "There's nothing to forgive my love.
And never fear, I will always be with you here." she touches his
chest with her paw and then starts to vanish into white psionic
energy, only her eyes remain only to be gone with the wind as
two small petals.
Xefr wakes up in the real world, all psionic energy seems to
have been lost and the chasm is revealed to be covered in
beautiful white crystals upon which the light of the system's
bright sun falls.
Cui stands close, looking worried towards Xefr.

Tec grinned at Re'Ni's excitement, "There are a lot of books,
but I'm not sure what would interest you. We got history books,
fictional novels, even little books for children. Anything in
particular that you want to read? Or should I just pick out
something randomly?"
-
Myst stands next to Cui, also worried. Looking to his dazed
companion, the Shard cautiously spoke, "Ess, are you alright?
You blacked out for a second there." Xefr turned away from both
their gazes, just looking at a wall. "I'm fine. Let's just get
back to the ship." The Old Drake's eyes then flashed, and the
group found themselves in Soul's Eclipse's main hanger once
more. Xefr however, still seemed shaken, and avoided looking at
either Myst or Cui. With his back turned, he spoke, "I need some
time to think... Alone." The Drake then teleported away with his
psionics, to an isolated area of the ship, leaving Cui and the
Shard alone in the hanger.

Re'Ni claps her hands happily {"Ah! Some fiction, with romance
too! And Valxes!"} suddenly she feels that dark presence again,
more clear than before. Her eyes turn white for an instant and
she turns to Tec with a worried look {"Okay, that not just Re'Ni
mind, Re'Ni happy and no reason for mind to get dark.
..something very dark near. Can feel powerful dark energy."}
-
The tiny blue dragoness tried to say something but no words
seemed to form in her mind, she just remained silent. As Xefr
left she turned to Myst angry and sad at the same time, almost
sobbing while munching her claws.. "Damn that goat, I'm going to
wreck her fluffy tail back to Toria! ...it's my fault, I
should have expected this; These powers feed on emotions like
all V'ossi psionic energy ...and it seems Xefr has a great deal
of emotions and memories within him. By the Emperors, I hope he
will overcome this... I will never forgive myself!" she cries
for a while, but then just remains standing there silent with a
sad frown on her face.

Tec's expression turned serious, and he looked to Re'Ni, "Hm...
I can't feel anything myself, but I don't doubt you. Can you
feel where it's coming from? I need to know, so we can get rid
of it." Tec seemed confident on the outside, but on the inside
he was worried. He really hoped the dark energy wasn't coming
from the brig...
-
Myst walked over to Cui and sighed, "No... It's not your fault
Cui. All of us Shards, from Xefr to me, are very unstable. Xefr
might seem like he is more stable than the rest, but he isn't.
It's just a mask he wears to keep everybody else confident,
another sacrifice he has made to help others. Most of us don't
even realize it, but I do. As I said, I worry for his sanity,
and that was not a joke. But he will overcome, it is in his
nature. Maybe it will be to help himself, but it will most
likely just be another attempt to help others, hiding the pain
instead of recovering from it. Yet for once... I don't know how
to fix this..." Myst then paused, and took on a more serious
look, "Cui... What do you mean by powers feeding on emotions?"

The dragoness seemed hesitant to talk about it, but she was
starting to fear and fear always led her to worse situations so
she tried explaining.. {"First felt in hallways near pool. Came
from bellow. Very strong power, almost like.."} she suddenly
stopped and looked around.. {" ..Re'Ni long time ago. Much
hatred ...wrath ..suffering. Makes Re'Ni remember.."} her tail
was shaking again and small lightnings formed around her body.
Re'Ni was scared, scared of becoming again what she once was...
-
Cui sighed and banged her tail on the floor lightly "It's simple
really ...us Old V'ossi found a way to enhance our psionic
powers, the 'White Aura' as we called it. We found a way to feed
on the positive emotions of our surroundings as well as our own.
The stronger emotions one could feel, like love, then the
stronger they would get - especially by using one's own
emotions.. ..but without balance, without self-control and
serenity, dark emotions can corrupt one's Aura, crippling them
or turning them into monsters." She sighed again and looked at
Myst, not knowing much else and still being worried about
Xefr...

Tec closed up to Re'Ni and covered her with his wing, not caring
about the lightning and the pain it was causing. Tec looked
straight into Re'Ni's eyes and spoke with a clear tone, "Re'Ni,
I need you to calm down. Do you remember what you told me on
Shyr? You told me to stop hating myself, and to stop cowering. I
followed that order, and now I need you to do the same. Stop
shaking, stop remembering, and look at me. I am here for you,
and I will not let you suffer." His final sentence was in a much
more serious tone, said as if it were fact.
-
Myst seemed to think back to something as Cui mentioned
monsters, and spent a while thinking. Then, he looked back to
Cui, "I can't say I've known much about positive emotions giving
any sort of power. But I've seen that corruption you mentioned.
And I know about monsters, for that is what the brig of this
ship is dedicated to holding."
As Myst finished, another flash of light occurred, and Xefr
reappearance in the Hanger. His eys were dim, and it seemed that
he was crying, though that was the only indication of anything
else but the look of grim determination the rest of his body
gave off. With a clear tone, Xefr spoke out, "I've set the
ship's course for the third planet, to take the third test. And
before you say anything Myst, I am fine. I just needed some time
to think about... things. It won't worsen my performance."
