{Golden Wasteland, Boneyard City}
[Lyrinn and Thalasso arrive at Boneyard City. A large population wonders around the city. Guards heavily patrol the city like water, looking for any sign of corruption.]
Lyrinn
So many...
Thalasso
You'll get used to it.
[The two wonder around the largely populated city until they reach an alleyway with a secret residence.]
Thalasso
Welp... this is where I live nowadays. Also where I train and teach some of my students. I can teach you how to use the water gem powers but as for mastering it, it takes a lot of patience.
Lyrinn
Teach me all you know.
[The two enter the residence and head into a gem training room.]
Thalasso
Show me what you know about your powers.
[The gem necklace starts glowing up as Lyrinn starts to create streaks of light and tries drawing a figure eight. But upon using her powers, a memory starts to play in her mind.]
{A few years ago}
[A younger Syronos and Lyrinn are in a secret hidden area where Syronos trains Lyrinn how to use the blessed gem.]
Syronos
There we go, you're getting the hang of it Lyrinn. You're doing really well!
Lyrinn
You told me this was hard to master, brother.
Syronos
Only for the others, for us Blessed ones, we can master it very easily.
Lyrinn
Really?
Syronos
When I was around your age, I managed to to master it in one day. I have no idea why. I had a feeling you'd master it like a comet as well.
Lyrinn
Even if I master it fast, it's still worth training it to the best to my ability.
Syronos
True, and who knows, maybe you'll reach your full potential.
Lyrinn
Yeah... one day.
{Present}
[Lyrinn breaks down in tears but tries to bring her focus back into performing her powers until Thalasso stops her and hugs her.]
Thalasso
... Lyrinn, stop yourself. You have to let yourself break down. You shouldn't try to get back into focus when your heart is not well.
Lyrinn
I'm s-sorry...
Thalasso
It's okay... I know how much you miss Syronos... cry as much as you need okay? I got you Lyrinn...
[Thalasso was sorrowful. He knew how much the situation had devastated Lyrinn. He knew how close Lyrinn grew with Syronos and Akirianis.]
Thalasso
(I owe Syronos and Leader Akirianis for taking care of Lyrinn for me... they were the only people I knew could take care of her. I would take care of her just as her brother asked me to do... but I never wanted to endanger her because of my missions.)
Lyrinn
I miss him a lot...
Thalasso
I'm sure he misses you too...
Lyrinn
....
Thalasso
Let's take a break okay? I know you're still devastated, you don't need to hold it in right now.
Lyrinn
... okay.
Thalasso
I'll make some tea... if you need me, just come find me.
Lyrinn
Okay...
[Thalasso exits the training room to give Lyrinn some time. Lyrinn takes some time for herself to meditate and calm down. It didn't take long for Thalasso to come back with tea and buns.]
Thalasso
Let's sit down okay?
[The tea was rather sweet and the buns were bland enough to compliment the tea. After a long moment of slience, Lyrinn regains her composure and speaks.]
Lyrinn
... why is it so painful to lose people?
Thalasso
It's because we cared about them... sometimes leaving is hard but can be also unexpected. The more we love and care for someone, the harder it is to leave them...
Lyrinn
...
Thalasso
We'll see them again. I promise you. We may not see them for a long time, but I know we will see them again...
Lyrinn
Even my long-lost brother?
Thalasso
Yes...
Lyrinn
....
Thalasso
.....
Lyrinn
When this whole corruption thing is over, let's live together. You, Reyn, and me. We could train all we want and do things together...
Thalasso
That would be wonderful... but that would be a long time...
