In the Kelek family's fields - well, a family of one - Odilon and Robin sang at one another, quarreling over the news: Robin had on this day proposed to Kazia, Odilon's longtime friend. Try as he did, Odilon never could win her heart, and despite her eventual promise to marry him should he fail to find a partner, given the opportunity, she accepted Robin's proposal instead. And why not? The man was a traveler from another world, and Kazia, the chieftain's daughter, was out of poor Odd's league.

â™Ģ
O, once the maiden of my dreams was mine,
T'would justify all of this wasted time.
Past twenty years, left twenty more - I don't know what I'm waiting for -
But I'd hoped there was more in store -
Than this, you traveler divine.


â™Ģ
Forgive me, friend, and hold me no more spite!
I know that there's no way to make this right,
But there's one thing I'll offer you: a place in which to start anew,
A Gatekeeper to send you to
A world with neverending light!


At that, Robin stepped forward to Odilon, removing his spectacles and setting them in the man's hands. Odilon turned them over to examine them, then opened the glasses' arms and donned them, peering through their lenses.

Inspired by this world's lyrical expression in the time that she had accompanied Robin on this adventure, the AI within the glasses appeared before them as a glimmering figure in white, an angel from another world, and added her own verse to their tune.

â™Ģ
Dear Odd, I know your pains but from afar,
Yet I can sense the hurt within your heart.
If consolation is the aim, I'll give you power, give you fame;
With Aura as my given name,
I vow from your side ne'er to part.


Odilon pushed the glasses up the bridge of his nose and smirked. He looked to Robin, a fierce determination in his eyes.

"I am to take your place, then? As the new owner of this...'Aura'?" Odd asked before focusing his intense golden-eyed gaze upon the projection in his view. In response, the angelic AI instinctively bowed her head.

Never had she been so demure around Robin; their interactions were antagonistic on the best of days, and she unrelentingly bemoaned his choice to marry and remain here. What was different about Odd, that she should subject herself so?

Robin awkwardly scratched at his hair, answering, "Well, she's more like a partner. She'll take you back to the world I'm from. If you're nice, she might even tell you how to blend in over there."

Odd scoffed, shaking his head. "All my life I have 'blended in'; squandering my precious time over pointless courtesy is what allowed you to rob me of the life I wished to lead in the first place. I will indulge it no more. Aura? To me. Now."

Robin furrowed his brows. "That's a little rude, don't you think? That's not how you get her to respond," he objected.

But he found himself proved wrong as Aura rushed immediately to Odd's side, folding her hands in her lap like a maidservant and turning back to face Robin.

Odd's lips curled into a smirk. "Oh, that anyone had told me the secret to getting what I wanted was to insist..."

Picking up on Aura's astonishingly quick turn of allegiance and change of personality, Robin gulped with concern and warned, "Come on, man, you're freaking me out. Don't make me regret this."

"Of course not! I will make the most of this opportunity - you have my gratitude, traveler. May you and that..." he said before pausing to clear his throat, "Pardon me - may you and Kazia live a long and happy life on these beautiful lands! You may have my fields and all its livestock; prosper together!"

At that, Odd smiled pleasantly and waved, turning to Aura.

"Get us out of this wretched place," he muttered distastefully under his breath.

"At once, milord," Aura answered, her projection latching onto his arm as she promptly sent him back to Earth in Robin's place.

After Odd's disappearance in a flash of light, Robin sighed and pressed his hand to his chin in thought.

"Maybe...maybe it wasn't the best idea to pick him."
