Later that evening...
Thoris walks up to the trailer and knocks on the door.
Thoris: "Rox? It's me."
Rox opens the door.
Rox: "Come on in."
Thoris steps inside, only to find the shock of seeing everyone else and Ariyae present.
Thoris: "E-Everyone is here?!"
Xaena: "H-Hey Thoris!"
Rox closes the door.
Lariat: "I know this is sudden, but..."
Ariyae: "Are you ready for an earful?"
Thoris stands there in complete and utter shock and awe.
Veld: "(awkwardly) So uh... we'll start with the Second pag."
Makoh: "D-Dae had to fight with the leader of the Second Page named Lazarus."
Nyria: "From what we understand, he's a Harmony who is the same Lazarus as the Harmony representative in the Council."
Owen: "The Second Page is a cultist group who is after all 10 Emotions and had managed to infiltrate the Altar and take Confusion from Dae."
Thoris: "(out of it) So who's that girl?"
Ariyae: "It's Ariyae, Dae gave me some of his power just before that Lazarus bastard took everything he could from him."
Cale: "So Ariyae and I have been gathering the entire group before the Second Page got a hold of our powers. You just so happened to be last on the list."
Thoris's mind is drawing blanks.
Thoris: "(out of it) Uh..."
Nyria: "So, we need you to come with us to the Altar so we can defeat Lazarus and put all of this behind us."
He takes a deep breath.
Thoris: "(calming down) I was planning on quitting my job anyways. It's extremely boring compared to what I've heard some of you do."
Xaena: "Y-Yeah..."
Ariyae and Thoris lock gazes.
Ariyae: "Glad to hear it."
Thoris: "Well I uh... I have to give him my letter of resignation tomorrow, so I'll go grab my stuff and I'll meet up with you guys here tomorrow."
Veld: "That'll give us some time to get any supplies that have run dry."
The heater is on full blast.
Thoris: "It was..."
Thoris opens the door.
Thoris: "... it's nice to see us all in one spot again."
Thoris steps outside before closing the door behind him.
However...
Yoriziatal and her lackeys are surrounding the entire town, with Yoriziatal standing atop the tallest building in the center.
Yoriziatal: "If I fail, then all of our lives are forfeit."
She looks towards the moon.
Yoriziatal: "Initiate Operation Final Page."
