Feeling bad doesn't do any good. Besides, you have enough regrets.
Are you still split on accepting Nari into your and Cecil's romance?

Oh, by the way, take Nari to the castle. We need to give Norue a Cell Stone and chat with him, and since Nari sustained her injuries while in service to the crown she should be entitled to care. Doubly so since she's a foreign dignitary.
Oh, and you should probably tell Norue you have no hard feelings over him running your fiancee through.

Kiss her on the nose, and tell her you're not going to push her if she's not ready.

The best way to find out how you feel is to try it, but you have plenty of time.
The second best way is to imagine her and Cecil doing progressively more intimate things, and seeing how you feel about those fantasies.

@Nari: How about we go get some fresh air, and see if we can get the Royal healers to take care of those burns and scars for you. Does that sound good?

well, while you may be terrified of him, you probably gained some respect points for forcing him to get serious. i doubt many people can make him serious.

before you use any of those we should get out of central, all sage magic is technically illegal because rai hasn't put a big stamp of approval on it. you can probably use the above the law symbol, gawain has one and you could probably hand his ass to him because he doesn't have swords made of bullshitium like norue.
>>
No. 186384 ID: 701a19

>>186380
Why? Because he stabbed you after we blasted him through a wall? How long did you avoid Gawain after he gave you that scar?
Honestly, why are you so afraid to see him again? You realize that forcing him to take the fight seriously means that he'll respect you and Gawain is going to be afraid of getting on your bad side, right?

Anyway, we need to get a Cell Stone to him for a wide variety of reasons. If you can think of another way to do that, then we won't make you go to the castle.

So, what have you learned from the book so far?

Oh, cool.

@Cecil: Okay, false alarm. It's nothing to be concerned about. It looks like one of those spells was an enhanced version of Detect Magic, and it's letting us see that you are under the influence of Shoujen. As in, you got cursed by it at some point and it wasn't fully removed.
>>
No. 186423 ID: 701a19

>>186420
Ok, the I Shop owner seems to think you cast a scrying spell that detects Dark Mana spells. That means your Shoujen mark is showing up.

That would be an excellent spell to have.

Cast Extend Endurance, grab a mirror, and stay up until it fades. Once it does, cast the spells until it reappears, then make a note in the book and get to sleep.

Tell her she lost all her spells, and was granted Soul Flare, Soul Rip, Soul Judgment, Soul Blade, and Soul Shot.
Take her back to the room, and have her teach you those spells right now. We're trying to find out what we can do to help, but don't tell her that since the thing possessing her may intervene.

@I Shop: Sold!

@King Sils: Chel was attacked by some strange spirit. It stole her memories of all her spells, and replaced them with Soul Flare, Soul Rip, Soul Judgment, Soul Blade, and Soul Shot.
Do you know anything about Soul Rip and Soul Judgment?
Oh, and we recently gained the ability to bring the long dead back to life. If you can provide us with the Queen's true name and a part of her body (hair might work, but we know for certain that blood, even old and dried, works), then we can attempt to bring her back.
Would you like for us to try?

Alex, before Cecil confessed he had been secretly in love with you since the first time you met.

What you're feeling right now are the same self doubts that are always causing you trouble; they ate away at you over Laura, they made you lash out at Nari, they kept you quiet about the Shade bite, and as near as I can tell they're responsible for every other problem you've had since we met.
This time? Just ignore them. There's no reason to be afraid; just say yes, and see how things go from there.
>>
No. 187713 ID: 9234f5

Look you will be equals in the relationship and Cecil and Nari will love you equally. Yes, there will be times when there will be disagreements but that is part of a realtionship. You know what I think, you are insecure of yourself because you like to control things and if you see yourself as superior then you feel better. You need to realsie that you are getting older and that you need to act more respnabily, you need to take this relationship on and go for it. They both love you and we love you as well Alex.

We only want what's best your you, I hope you understand that :)

Say yes and go for it and also we wwant to see the intimacy that you three will share. We want to see this because we want to be able to feel what you see and it's not just about the physical contact it's about the emotions that flow form such a beautiful thing. Please do this for us, we only ask this of you.

You aren't corrupt. You've been hurt, and you're healing.

Old wounds can be the most tender. Both Nari and Cecil love you. It might be frightening to think about, but opening yourself up to them, trusting them completely, will help wash those old hurts away.

It will take time, of course, and nobody would force it to happen suddenly, especially not those two, but you have to allow it to keep happening.

I say 'keep happening' because they've already had a positive affect on you.

Alex, if we drop it now then you're just going to avoid making a decision until something happens to take away your ability to choose.

Perhaps some perspective would help?
When the focus of Cecil's existence was on getting his manhood back, you asked us to help you take that away from him.
When he found out you don't like men, he sacrificed his gender - his very identity, in spite of how important it was to him - just to make you happy.

Now the time has come to determine if you're worthy of him or not: How far are you willing to go to make Cecil happy?
If you can accept that he loves Nari and welcome her into your union so that Cecil can be happy, then you deserve to be with Cecil.
If you're too weak, scared, or selfish to let Cecil be with both the women he loves, then you are clearly undeserving of him.

Just say yes, Alex. This is about who you want to be, and I don't think "a selfish lover" is something you aspire to.
>>
No. 188109 ID: 701a19

Short version?
You are corrupted, but that can be corrected.
This decision isn't about the now, it's about what you want to become and what's best for Cecil.

TL;DR? You have shitty judgement, Cecil wants this, give him what he wants and learn to be a better person.
>>
No. 188122 ID: 1ac39d

no alex, we aren't going to drop this. this is important, look inside yourself and think about your feelings. let's look at your track record of avoided and confronted issues: telling Cecil you love her, when you avoided it you were miserable and conflicted, when you told her you became happy. laura, when avoided you were mean and fearful, after confronted you stopped treating nari like she was after you. the shade, when avoided you were quite simply dying, when confronted Cecil rushed to your aid without a moment's hesitation to save you.

so, from where i'm standing, every time you deal with something instead of avoiding it, you get happier.

Really? You're just gonna keep torturing her with feeling everything and having no reciprocation? Or cutting her off from it? And it fell to us to walk her through the feelings she didn't understand, and pull back the signal when she needed a break.

You and Alex need to take her and teach her how to give and receive this kind of love. Now.

>>191812
@Cecil: Ignore that. I can completely understand wanting to wait until the time is right before bringing her into that.
Now is not the right time, for example, because her mother is suffering and Alex still has that problem. Nari would feel terrible about not being there for her mother now, and it would be even worse if she had that kind of intimate moment and then later found out what her mother had been going through at the time. Alex being unable to fully enjoy the experience would also serve to cripple her enjoyment.

For now, I say go for a group hug and a three-way kiss, then tell her what happened to her mother and bring her there. Yes, it would ruin the moment, but there will be other moments and you need to do what's best in the long term.

I would suggest a strategy but I think you would handle it better. Our most effective attack could render us powerless to do anything else.

Eronen is attacking but looks to be only a distraction for a greater attack. We need everyone to get Teleport to the Temple for now. Norue is helping Cecil, she should be fine.

Cecil had a reusable teleportation stone with him you should have now. After everyone is safe at the temple you can come back for Cecil with another teleport stone to get you both out safely if needed. And make sure the stones can contact from the Temple.

@Felix
We need you to get you and RJ to the temple as soon as possible. Eronen is attacking but it may be a distraction to get RJ.

@All:
Felix, RJ, get out of the city. Now. Grab your pants and get dressed while you're out of the city. Head for Temple, get in touch with L.
Cecil, run to the iShop and buy that fireproof suit and a few more teleport stones. Ignore the cost. Then cast Maelaes and get back to this area.
Alex, Nari, Chel, get out of the city.

@King Sils, Shera, Kathrin, Light Elf King: Dart's attacking. Get out of your castle and keep an eye on the sky for his bombardment. He might send somebody to attack, but this is to keep you from looking up to see his new meteor variant.

@Norue: Dart's about to attack with a new meteor-like spell, and Eronen is about to show up as a distraction. Evacuate the castle. We'd strongly suggest having some Royal Army Mages pool resources to cast Zeroon on Gene, then using a Phoenix Down to revive him - he knows spells that will help immensely.

@Party
EVERYONE! EMERGENCY! We just got back from a rewind, Eronen is on his way here and Dart has a custom mini Meteor spell targeted at the castle. Cecil give Alex your robe and what you are carrying in case you need to cast Blazen. Alex, to get Nari out of here and go warn Norue. Then everyone get together and be ready to teleport to the Temple if things go from bad to worse.

@Felix
This goes double for you and RJ, she may be targeted by Dart specifically.

@Cecil
Cast Maelaes now, because Eronen has an clone/illusion that took your sneak attack last time around. If you can see him before he thinks he's detected, nail him with Tandrolar Eisyrn but MAKE IT COUNT. But our first priority is to stop the Divine Judgment spell mini meteor .

Cecil rushes at the clone. It takes a defensive stance but at the last moment Cecil ducks out and runs into the alley.
Before the true Eronen has a chance to react Cecil blasts him with Tandrolar Eisyrn.

He tries to dodge but is struck by it and is thrown into a wall. It crumbles around him.

Soon the smoke clears. Flames burst from Eronen's body and he stands up.
His steps are shaky and it's obvious he's taken serious damage.

They took it for granted. and with just a little magic Dart made it so that you, your father and your grandfather each held within you a piece of each species in this world..."

Heck, you're powerful enough so that once Dart's dead you can start resurrecting your family.

Calm down and put your hood back on.
We can separate the truth from the bullshit, but you need to think clearly.

First: Dart has been manipulating your family by killing people off, and this tells us both the specifics and why. This information is interesting, but irrelevant.

Second: Dart may have been baiting you into a few things, but most of your actions were off-script. He couldn't predict Alex's actions, nor could he predict that you would recruit Nari, RJ, Felix, Chel, or Gene, obtain the Goldeon watch and dagger, resurrect Amy Sky, defuse the conflict between the the catkin and tigerkin, become allies of every major power, or countless other things.
In fact, I'd bet platinum to donuts that he thinks you're going to succumb to the Shoujen curse eventually.

Third: If Dart's plan IS for you to kill him then the best solution is to chuck him in the Magi room; since he's possessed by something, it might be that said something jumps from whatever its host is to whatever kills its host. That would mean that he would have a failsafe; if you're too strong to control, he takes your body.

Anyway, cut off his head, char his corpse to ash, use your alchemy to compress the ash into a rock, and hand them both to Norue for safekeeping. We have work to do.

That doesn't sound like it would work. These new leaders have flaws of their own, so eventually war would break out.

It would be easier, cause less suffering, and be more reliable to just establish a group of incredibly powerful diplomats that would resolve all conflicts before they got out of hand.

@Alex: We can't say, but does it matter? It's not like anything you say would get between you two. If you told him you helped your mother kill and eat your father, then he'd just hug you and say how horrible it must have been for you. No, seriously, we live in his head. Don't worry about that.

He needs you to trust him, and at this point I would hope that's enough.

Cecil runs back to and tries to find Alex and Nari. He finds them in a room in battle gear

"Yep mya. We weren't gonna leave you behind mya."

>"Alex... Oh! Alex, I need you to-"

"I know mya, the voices told me. Come with me."

She leads Cecil into another room. She hands Cecil her robes and talks as Cecil changes.

With the spells comes the knowledge of how they work.
Time Magic is unique in that it doesn't run on Mana, it goes by Life Essence.
All beings gain Life Essence by simply living. Time magic eats away at this Essence. This does not wound the being but Essence is finite so be careful when casting Time Magic.
Also Cecil is not yet at the level where he can cast high level Time Magic. He is limited to Haste and Stop until he gain more Life Essence.

Gain more life Essence by living and growing.

Rules for Rewind!
Rewind takes no Essence simply because you Rewind to before you use it. However it does take a lot to cast it. Many beings never live long enough to gain this power.


[the little chart shows how high Cecil is on Life Essence. He can cast either Haste twice or Stop once before he runs out. Rewind is not available yet]

Cecil is now the most powerful magic user alive, thanks to somebody who we saw dead that inexplicably came back to life, handed this miracle item to Cecil, and promptly disappeared.

Cecil is now going to have go and meet Dart.

We've very recently been told that Dart wishes to control Cecil, because of her capability to become the most powerful magic user in the world.
