Skullivar had not yet noticed them. He was probably in a trance, as usual. While Cece consulted with the others, Ria sneaked away secretly, this time carrying Calabrass on her back. 

C: "What is this supposed to be?" 

R: "What does it look like? I'll knit a jumper!" 

C: "Haha, really funny. I've rarely laughed like that." 

R: "We really have to work on your humour." 

C: "You don't want to take him on now." 

R: "Ehh... but that's exactly the plan." 

C: "Are you crazy?" 

R: "No, just a bit crazy." 

C: "It's the same thing!" 

R: "Now be quiet before our cover is blown." 

C: "What cover? Which consists of hoping not to be discovered?" 

R: (looked at Calabrass strictly)

C: "Alright, good. I won't say anything anymore. 

Cece had not yet noticed that Ria was gone. 

Ce: "So if we come from two sides, we have a bigger chance of success. Okay, Ria? Ria?!" 

Car: (pointed in Skullivar's direction)

Ce: "Not again! This girl is still killing me." 

Ria got closer and closer to Skullivar and before she could strike, Calabrass broke the silence. "Hey, you Cucumber Face!" "Calabrass!" Skullivar turned around and looked at Ria with a grin. 

S: "Look! The 7C's dare to come here again to teach me a lesson." 

R: "I swear to you, I'll ram my sword into your throat!" 

S: "The loss of Zak Storm has made you stronger, but not strong enough!" 

He spread his hands and threw Ria away. When she got up again, she wanted to run right away. 

C: "Whoa, whoa. Now, very slowly..." 

R: "I'll finish him off!" 

C: "Why does no one ever listen to me?" 

She let out a sandstorm and Skullivar fell to the ground, but before Ria could continue, everything faded and before her eyes appeared Chronos, and... her mother. 

C: "Eleriah Storm! You're choosing the wrong path right now!" 

R: "What do you want from me? Get out of my head!" 

J: "Ria, dear. Please hear what Chronos has to say." 

C: "You have an enormous anger within you. You can't control yourself, and you're endangering not only your friends, but also yourself." 

R: "I can't let go of my anger, neither on Skullivar, nor on you!" 

J: "Would you at least let me explain everything?" 

R: "How can I trust you're not lying to me?" 

J: "I won't. All the things you've read are true... but only to a small extent. I was jealous and had a deal with Bones, but it went wrong. From then on, I realised my mistakes. Only the skeletons forced me to write it that way because otherwise they would have killed your father and you." 

R: "And why did you leave me here?" 

J: "That was a big misunderstanding. As I said, Bones forced me to do so. I never wanted to leave you. Only Bones had monitored me." 

C: "It would be your mother's time to forgive." 

R: "I can't... I can't believe you." 

J: "Please, darling. Otherwise you won't bring Zak back." 

Ria shook her head and the ghosts faded. She took another blow, hesitated and fell to her knees. She knew Chronos was right. Zak was right - she would achieve nothing with revenge. 

"I'm sorry, Mother! I forgive you! I forgive you for all your mistakes and deeds. Now please forgive me too. My anger at you, my hatred." While she was saying that, she hung her head. She held the amulet in her hand and a small tear fell on it. Suddenly, it started to glow a lot...
