            Everyone else ran up to me, with Frindel and Vien asking if I was alright and if I didn't need any healing, to which I like before to Wezrall, said that I was completely fine and just a bit exhausted. Honestly, seeing them care so much about me was rather... Heartwarming. Arabor stood back still, just watching carefully from a slight distance, sharpening his gaze on me.

<Arabor>;
'That power... There is no doubt about it.'

He thought, before exhaling and placing his hands into his coats pockets, before looking off to the sky, narrowing his eyes.

<Arabor>;
'I see what Faofa is destined for now.'

"Arabor, you alright?"

I asked, walking over to the Primal Dragon while balancing myself onto Wezrall, who was helping me walk with my exhaustion. Arabor shook his head lightly, before lowering his head and looking me in the eyes.

He then exhaled, before smiling and rubbing the top of my head like I was some kind of child.

<Arabor>;
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me Faofa."

He stated, his smile warm and friendly. I was a bit confused at first, however exhaled a moment later and smiled back. After another moment or two, I looked back at Irrna, who was still on her knees, staring at the sky with tears in her eyes.

I exchanged gazes with Wezrall, before pushing myself off of him and walking over to her, albeit, struggling a bit to walk properly. Once I was at her, I kneeled down behind her, before placing my left arm onto her right shoulder, smiling friendly.

"See? I promised you I would help you."

I stated, with Irrna looking towards me with her teary eyes. For a couple of moments it was silence between me and her, before she wiped off her tears and smiled.

<Irrna>;
"...Thank you. You kept your promise and I was able to see my beloved one more time before he departed."

Irrna stated, before looking up towards the sky, her expression now one with a wide and warm smile.

<Irrna>;
"I hope that wherever he is now... He can rest peacefully for the rest of eternity."

Irrna finished, with a gentle breeze blowing through the labyrinth and the sky above us finally clearing from the dark clouds and smoke that had covered it.

Gotta say, you definitely appreciate the small things more after having gone through an experience. The blue sky above us... It looks so beautiful without any of the dark clouds and smoke blocking it. Guess that's life for you... Huh?

    
       After we gathered up our thoughts and Irrna got her own feelings together, all of us returned to the center of the labyrinth — where Irrna had been living all this time. First thing we did and lay the body of Cefril back into its place, allowing the roots and nature that had grown around it before to take the body back.

Coincidentally, us placing it back where it 'belongs' allowed for the body to be completely cured of the Miasma and corruptions that had infested the body after Flin took it. It also send a pulsing wave through the labyrinth, which seemingly allowed for the walls to turn an even more lush green colour and even sprout some flowers here and there. It also had the side effect of removing all the withered spots in the labyrinth.

How do I know? Well, apparently at some point while fighting against Cefril, whatever was blocking my 'Global Sense' before suddenly disappeared, allowing me to use it again. I have no idea why or what happened for that to happen, however I am NOT complaining at all.
