"We will be landing in London in five minutes. Please get ready to land."

"Eddie, is it wrong that we left Sibuna to suffer and we got away?" Patricia asked.

"Yacker's gone soft." Eddie teased. "Weasel, this isn't some sort of game! This is real life! And I can still hurt you." She threatened. "Okay, I was just lightening the mood, because of..." Eddie trailed.

"You don't have to say it Eddie. I'm still confused as to why Nina did it."

"She wanted to protect us. Like she always does." Eddie told her.

Help me Eddie...

A soft and familiar voice echoed in Eddie's head. He jumped. "You okay?" Patricia asked. "I think I heard Nina."

"Not funny, Slimeball." Patricia punched him. "I'm not joking."

Help... The key... Find Senkhara... Save me...

"Now, I know you heard that."

"I did."

"Landing in London now. Thank you for attending Egypt Airlines. Have a nice day."

Eddie and Patricia got off the plane and walked out the airport. "Now what?" Patricia shrugged. "We call her." Eddie responded.

They go inside a motel in London and pay for a room, and called Senkhara's name multiple times, when she finally answered. She was silent for a while. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't end your life right now."

"Because there is a small piece of you that isn't capable of death. Because you loved your sister. Truly. You're human, Senkhara. Even though you refuse to admit it."

Senkhara crossed her arms. "What do you want, Osirian?" Senkhara wondered. "We heard Nina's voice and she said somethig about a key and finding you. Do you know what that means?''

"Oh yes, the dead Paragon. It means that...if the Chosen One dies by killing herself with her dagger, there is a possibility of bringing her back." Patricia and Eddie smiled at each other. "Great! How?"

"You have to kill the person who wronged her the most. Then, the person who wronged her will trade places with Nina. Balance and what not." She answered. "Will you do that for Nina? Since, you know, you wronged her most?"

"Are you insane?" She hollered. "Look, I know in your twisted mind you think we wronged you, but can you find the goodness in your heart and save Nina?"

"That girl is the reason I am not in the field of rushes. I am happy she is dead." As Senkhara was about to smoke out, she said, "And even if I did want to help, I couldn't. I have no body." She disappeared into thin air, and left Patricia and Eddie with no choice but to continue on with their lives, with no way to get to Sibuna, and no way to bring Nina back.

"Where do we start?" Joy asked. "Well first of all, we have to find out where we are. When." Fabian said. "Important distinction." Jerome sarcastically responded.

"We can't argue! We have to find facts! Now everyone shut up!" Mara screamed. Alfie sighed, and looked at Fabian. "We know where and when we are. May 25, 1926. We're in London."

"Fabian, Joy you look for a way to take us home. Jerome and I will look for a way to ressurect Nina. The rest will either pair up with one of us, or search for anyone else the curse took along with it, like Reggie or Mick. Got it? Good."

Alfie and Amber chose to join Jerome and Joy.

~~~~~

It's been over 9 months since Senkhara declined Patricia and Eddie's request, they still haven't found another way to ressurect Nina, and they haven't seen their friends in almost a year. Nine months of a very annoying pregnancy, and nine months of loneliness.

"Eddie! Where is the shampoo that I like!" Eddie comes out of our room with dark circles under his eyes, smiling. He cheered, "I found it!"

"Found what? The shampoo? I really want that shampoo."

"No, not the stupid shampoo. The way!" He corrects. "Really? The way? The way of finding my shampoo? Because if you don't find my shampoo, I might just divorce you."

Just as Eddie is about to say something, there was a knock at the door. "Ugh, people." Patricia complained. "Just pretend we're not here." I whisper.

There's even more knocking, which was about to give Patricia a migraine. "Ugh! I give up! You won't stop-" Patricia opened the door to find Jerome, Joy, Fabian, Mara, and Amber, and Alfie at the door. "knocking..." She trailed off. "Are you real? Is this my imagination?"

"We're real. I think. Are we real Jerome?" Alfie whispered. "I think we are Alfredo."

Patricia began crying, and hugged all of them. Eddie joined in too, and everyone was crying. Patricia and Eddie invited them inside. "After all these months, you have no idea how happy I am to open the door."

"So, are you going to sit there staring or tell us what happened over the last six months?"
