I see the fire of the tent from this distance, it was already dark. I need to get back, really. "We should get back to camp." I tell them both. "Back to camp? Pffft, what, scared of the dark?" Caesia says mockingly. "Alright, you can stay here, I'll be taking your sister with me then-" I tell her before she grabs my arm. "Wait, don't leave me!" She cries to me. "What, scared of the dark too?" I say mockingly as a reply. Caesia didn't say anything, she just looked at me and nodded, pouting. I start walking to the camp, Luminia's following right beside me and Caesia is holding my sleeve threatiningly. We had a few troubles along the way, but we made it to camp, just with a few bruises. "KTHXBAI-" Caesia says as she rushes into my tent and sleeps.

I sit down near the fire, Luminia follows beside me. "So... why do you think you two were frozen?" I ask Luminia as Caesia starts singing Let It Go from the tent. "That, I do not have any memory of." She says. "All I really remember is 'Get back to Zaahrtil intact, bring him with you'" She adds. "Wait.... him?" I add another question. "Yeah, not sure who that is anymore." She replies, unsure. Caesia finishes singing Let It Go and everything is silent. "What year is it?" Luminia asks me, breaking the silence. "Year 2432." I answer her. My answer seems to have shocked her, she is confused. "Let's see here, last I remember was year 2032." She says. Caesia starts singing something else, something about Amerika. "Where are am I?" Luminia asks. "Vayde, 1st moon of Ssion. Purple moon." I reply. She doesn't recognize any of these names. "Well........... shiet" Luminia blurts out. All I can hear is Caesia singing. I look around and see the green Ssion gently rise up from the horizon, bringing its green glow as light. Luminia looks at Ssion like it's her first time seeing something great, like a child first visiting the beach. Luminia looks at the light of the cities visible on Ssion, I can see that she's very eager to go there someday. I get back to the tent, let her have her moment. I enter the tent through the zipper and lie down on the right side. Luminia soon comes in and lies down on the middle. "I thought you were still looking at Ssion..." I gently ask her. "Nah, I'll follow you." She says, soon enough, I fall asleep listening to Caesia's singing.
