Thanks to SamuelLovesReading for the idea, this Will make a great addition to the RATLD multiverse.
Nammari pulled her crossbow on Sisu, in a desperate attempt to protect her home, her mother's words haunting her mind. Who do you think they'll come for? "Sisu and the gem peices are coming with me." Nammari said. Raya started to grab her sword. But Sisu stopped her, "hey, I got this," Sisu reassured. Sisu went to Nammari, "Nammari, I know you never wanted to hurt anyone." Sisu said, "Sisu,"Nammari whispered trying to fight her instinct to pull the trigger. "You just want to make things right, and that's exactly what we're trying to do. " Sisu said. Nammari started to cry. "I trust you Nammari. " Sisu said. Nammari was shaking to the bone at this point. Raya wanted to respond, she didn't want to trust Nammari, but she knew what could happen if she didn't trust Nammari to set down the crossbow, and if she couldn't trust Sisu to talk her down. Nammari then slammed the crossbow on the ground and threw it off the cliff. "I'M A FUCKING MONSTER!!!" Nammari screamed. Sisu quickly went over to Nammari and hugged her tightly. As Nammari cried into the dragons fur, she caught eyes with Raya. Raya nodded at her, never had a doubt. Raya thought. Sisu must've read her thoughts, yeah that's bullshit. Sisu thought. Nammari let go and walked to the group. "I'm so sorry, to all of you." She said. Raya went towards her and hugged Nammari. "You took the first step Nammari, I'm so proud of you." Raya whispered as Nammari held back tears, shaking as she tried. Nammari knew she hurt Raya the most, and was so happy to finally be here, just the two of them, no gaurds to set an example for. Just holding on to her former friend. Raya could always see that she was hiding this guilt, and knew Nammari needed to let it loose. "Let go Nammari, I'm here. " Raya whispered gently. Nammari then started bawling 6 years worth of hidden tears. Sisu joined the hug, Boun then went over as well and hugged the two, soon everyone followed and it became a group hug. All supporting Nammari as she continued to cry, but now a mix of guilt and joy, joy that this was actually happening. Raya was holding her tightly, and Nammari could finally let go, and take the weight of the world off her shoulders. Then they heard a voice, "Sisudatu." It said. They turned around and saw a man standing there, the group all broke the hug and Sisu went to him, "yeah." "I need you to come with me." He said. Raya looked at him sternly, "why, we need her here." She scowled. "Oh yeah, right." He said as he snapped his fingers. Then the drunn all floated into the air and blew up. "OK, that should do it, umm, Raya you should probably get to your Ba, Boun your family is going to be waiting for you by the Tail docks, um Tong, your family is also going to be waiting for you, congratulations on the baby by the way, and Noi, you're Mom is pretty worried about you. " He said, all very calm like. The entire gang had their mouths hanging wide open. "That was, anticlimactic" Boun remarked. The man smirked, regretting the reality he created that turned this innocent child into a monster. "But, why should I go with you," Sisu asked. "Look, I don't know how to explain this, but right now, the entire universe is at stake." He said. Sisu looked at Raya and Nammari, "that sounds really important. " Sisu whispered. "Yeah," .Nammari said, "go with him, we will be fine." Nammari said looking at Raya, and Raya smiled back. "Yeah, we will be fine. " Raya said. Sisu then went to the man. "Take my hand," he said, stretching out his hand. Sisu looked questioning. "Hey, trust me." He said. She took his hand and she waved to the group, who waved goodbye back. Before he nearly snapped his fingers, he saw something. "Oh, you're siblings. " He said. "WAIT WHAT!!!!" She screamed, the man then snapped his fingers and they disappeared. Raya and Nammari looked at each other. "Well, I should get back to my Ba." Raya said. "Yeah, but, before you go I need to tell you something. " Nammari said, not sure if this was a smart idea, or if this was just the heat of the moment. "Yes," Raya asked. Nammari then kissed Raya softly, Raya was shocked but soon let go. Raya and Nammari started to kiss more rapidly as they broke the kiss and put their heads on one another, "I love you Raya. " Nammari said as she was breathing heavily. Raya kissed Nammari again, " I love you to...... dep la."
Meanwhile- in a shack in Spine. Nammari was observing Raya, unable to fathom that she was here, well, it wasn't her Raya. "So, what happened to your hands?" Nammari asked. "They were cut off by B... that monster." Raya said, knowing that Boun wasn't the one who killed Nammari, he wasn't the one who severed her hands. Raya now had wooden prosthetic hands. "Where's your Nammari?" She asked, rubbing Raya's wooden hands. "Dead, I watched her get stabbed. " Raya said, starting to cry. "I saw what happened to you, I had no idea how you felt, I thought you'd be happier if I was dead." Raya said. Nammari looked at Raya, tears starting to swell. "No, Raya, listen to me, I, well ,we need you." Nammari said, "you were my only hope of ever being happy, of feeling like I could give this world something, I could be forgiven, when I still saw you as stone my heart disappeared, I never wanted to betray you, ever. I love... you." Nammari said. Raya looked at her, "I know dep la, when you died, I was just about to forgive you, but..." Raya was interrupted by a knock. "It's them," Nammari said. Raya went to the door and Sisu stumbled in, knocking them both on the ground. She saw the girls, she gasped, " Raya, Nammari what's going on?" Sisu asked. "Don't worry, we'll explain everything. "
Meanwhile.... Benja found himself on a boat. He looked around and saw Boun near the kitchen. "I once cooked here, I would try to make people happy with my food, when they didn't know that the main ingredient, was sadness. " Boun said in a deep voice. Benja understood, and he was going to do anything to get his revenge, his daughter will rest in peace. "I, will kill Nammari. " Benja said. "I know you will," Boun said giving him some shrimp congee. "Buy how would you like to kill, all of them." Boun said. Benja smiled an evil smile, "I will eat to that." Benja said. Boun smiled, he got Benja on his side, and that's all he really needed, the power of the drunn inside him will be used to strike fear, but Benja was his most powerful peice in this game.
