|| The Blond Executioner ||
Estelle was shivering with every step. Was she cold? Was she hot? It was hard to tell either way. She stared at the Barrier, fierce hatred brewing. This was what was holding them back, this was what was keeping them trapped here like this. She held her hand to the Barrier, focusing all her mana to her hand. "Brace yourselves!" She yelled over the raging waves. What effect would this have now? What could they do? But then her power wouldn't come out. "You've got nothing left, let us handle this." Fearsome told her, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Just rest, Dazzle." She grimaced. This was her duty! She had been chasing this for so long now! But now she was being pushed aside now? "Fine, I'll leave it to you guys then."
Panting, she rested on a light sword above the ocean, facing the barrier. She watched as Maple made the metal rod, and as Fearsome got to work. He had recovered well since last night, hadn't he? The three of them got to work, using the metal wire to try to access the Barrier. Estelle watched quietly, knowing that she was needed because it was her magic that could keep them afloat. But it seemed it wasn't enough, not yet. Estelle grit her teeth, the pain rippling through every part of her body. The combined efforts of Fearsome, Maple, and Clover, and eventually they heard the sound of crackling glass, the Barrier coming down. Estelle's eyes almost glowed as she saw it. Glistening, the blue ocean. "Let's go." Estelle muttered, truth on the sails. "Let's see what we've been missing out on."
So they flew, flew across the ocean. It took almost the entire day to get across, and Estelle's power continued to wane as they went. Who was waiting on the other side, who was the one responsible for all of this? And then they reached land. Estelle looked around, eyes wide. What was this? Why was it all gone? "This is weird, Dazzle." Maple said quietly, glancing at the scene. Why was everything scorched? Why were giant miasma monsters walking in the distance? Where was humanity? Where was civilization? "Is this the big secret?" Fearsome asked, shuddering as he clung to a sword for balance. "What is happening?" The former True Heroine fell to her knees, all the strength leaving her, mind working a million miles a second.
"Mages destroyed the world." This was miasma, and this was why it was leaking in. "What did you do?" Fearsome asked, staring at her. "Was this your plan, Dazzle?" Everything was ruined now. There was no humanity outside of the Barrier. There was nothing out here but death and destruction. Ashes and miasma and poison air and genocide. "I don't know." The Barrier, if it was meant to protect them? If it wasn't a prison this whole time? "The Miasma's going to seep in stronger now, probably." The blonde said as she shivered violently, coughing again. "Did we just doom everyone?"
