The Psalmist then, continued his song,
"... The end... is near..."

   

Then, the Narrator also continued his story...

... And the end was just the beginning...

Every one of our main characters met their end's journey...

   

"Waaaaaaa!!! Mother mother! I can't see! I can't see! Am I already in heaven?"

"Oh, get a hold of yourself, He. Don't be such a spoiled brat, my good sir, you're neither blind nor dead."

"See, I think that we are still here but we can't see because of this bright light we see. Ahihi!"

"I? Was that you? I really am in heaven then."

"Uhmmm... are you really in a real hurry to go in that green pasture? Ahhh, I'll gladly help you then, He! Hehe."

"... M-mama?! Mama?!"

"Oh, don't worry, my good madam. Your mother is still breathing. I've heard of that Dark incantation that Deceiver chanted. You will not be killed by it, ma'm, but the sorrows and griefs will eat every inch of your being, which you would even wish to die on the spot. Oh, but you will just be unconscious for a while."

"Come on, Taler. No need to explain it that way, you could have just said that Miss Puddl-, I mean, Miss Marvilous is still alive."

"Oh, I'm just trying to help, my good sir. Not like someone who looks like a hero-in-the-making but does nothing really."

"W-we're, ahhh, we're here for you, My. Uhhhm, I'll personally treat your mother by my healing abilities."

"And you see, we are also glad to finally hear your voice again, see! Ahihi."

"..."

"Oh, but it's really a shock, sir, when I saw Miss Puddle transformed into My's mother."

"Aha! I got it! That must be what Bystander from the Hanging Bridge meant!"

"Oh right you are, sir! And that must be why Miss Puddle was able to enter the Flat Terrains!"

"Pili. Like two little pieces in a pili nut shell."

"On the matter at hand... Where are we? Have we been transported somewhere or something?"

"Oh, not really, Father, sir. I've also heard of this before. It's called Scintillate. Our soul is now lost in the bright white light but it's still there, like a diamond that scintillated in the sunshine. But it's only for just a moment. Oh, simply put, our body and soul just doesn't exist no more, temporarily that is. But our mind is still sparkling, that's why we could talk right now."

"I see, so it's like My's ability? You see, her ability can sync two minds of those she has already encountered."

"..."

"Oh, not really, but close enough. Think of it as an intravenous injection of lightning within which scintillated our bodies, especially our eyes, that's why we could only see bright lights. But because of that intravenous procedures, the effect on our minds powered up and boomed, merged and then synched. Oh you see, it's a tale from my colleague, the Scientist aka Ma'am Sci, that sparked my interest to the subject."

"My head hurts, my little friend."

"Uhhmm... for sure, it fluctuated, He. Hehe."

"Aha! I saw it glistened for a moment. Riddler's staff has that Crux! That must be the source of the Scintillate Lightning!"

"Aaahhh... when have you been so keen, He?"

"So, Savio-, no, Deceiver and Fire is also here then?!"

"Oh, thankfully, it seems, we have a bit of a distance between them. As you have observed a while ago, Father, sir, the Scintillate Lightning only connected the ones that are close. Thus, sir, our minds are the only ones connected and scintillated."

"Opportunity. I think this was Riddler's attempt to help us prepare ourselves for the inevitable storm."

"... P-Papa?"

"Right, My. That was your father that made this happened, it seems."

"So, my friends, wha-what are we going to do with that t-terrifying duo?"

"Oh, are you losing faith already, my good sir, He? You're cowering again."

"End. Let's always think of this day as our last, which in turn make us watchful. To stand firm in the faith, act like a men, and be strong."

"Aha! Right, we can do this!!!"

"Then, let's make haste... This will be The Plan B after we meet Deceiver and Fire again... We nee-"

They were not able to discuss The Plan B, for a reverberating cold voice of Fire was suddenly heard...

GRAAAWWWRRRRR!!!!!

Yet another plan was not carried out, it didn't even have started yet. They can now see the familiar setting, temporarily blinded with those after images, like that time when someone lighted your eyes with a flashlight.

They were yet again in the place where the battle started, inside that field in the woods where the moon is gleaning behind that hill, but not trace of Riddler can be seen. And once more, they are in the perils of Deceiver and Fire.

He then saw Deceiver mumbling an incantation, as if it is almost finished... and so He ran...

   

Now, let's hear the Psalmist sing his song,

"Oh why have you deceived us?
Beneath that woods,
We heard what we could
Oh why have you riddled us?
Lost in our minds,
Scintillated like a diamond
Oh why have you devoured us?

Not this is our nascence,
Now this is your end
Will it be another cessation
In its inception, my friend?"
