Bryan tried to speak, but nothing came to mind. He mentally cursed once he realized that he'd wasted his turn.

"Ballora, I don't want to hurt you!"
There was no response.

The fire was avoiding him.

"...What are you doing?" Ballora asked. "Attack or run away!"
"You know I can't do either of those things."
"What are you proving this way? Stop it."
*Ballora throws fireballs at you...?
"Stop looking at me that way."
*Ballora throws fireballs at you...?
"I know you want to go home, but.."
*...
"Please...go upstairs now."
*...
"I promise I will take good care of you here."
*...
"I know we do not have much, but we can have a good life here."
*...
"Why are you making this so difficult?"
*...
"Haha...pathetic, is it not? I cannot save even a single child."
"Wait, Ballora..." Bryan broke his silence.
"No, I understand. You would just be unhappy trapped down here. The ruins are very small once you get used to them. It would not be right for you to grow you in a place like this."
She sighed. "My expectations, my loneliness, my fear...For you my child, I will put them aside."
*MERCY
*SPARE?
*Yes<
*No
"If you truly wish to leave the ruins, I will not stop you," Ballora stated. "However, when you leave...please do not come back. I hope you understand."
Bryan nodded. "I do."
Ballora leaned down to hug him. "Goodbye, my child."
She stood up, but just as she was going to disappear into the dark hall, Bryan stopped her.
"Bye, Mom."
She turned around, but only smiled before continuing on.
Bryan sighed, and walked out of the ruins.
However, something stopped him.
"Clever. Very clever." It was Baby. "In this world, it's kill or be killed. Your friend knows that better than anyone."
"My friend?"
Suddenly, Goldie appeared. "Wha-"
"Hello, old friend."
Baby's and Goldie's eyes met. Goldie's narrowed. "You."
"Yes. Me. Anyways," Baby looked back at Bryan. "Congratulations. You spared the life of a single person. I bet you feel real great."
"Maybe I do."
"Hehehe...you didn't kill anybody this time. But what will you do if you meet a relentless killer?"
"I...I'll try and convince them to stop!"
Baby laughed again. "You'll die and you'll die and you'll die, until you tire of trying. Your determination won't last forever. Will you kill out of frustration? Or will you give up entirely on this world...and let me inherit the power to control it?"
"Leave him alone, Baby."
Bryan almost jumped. He forgot that Goldie was there with them.
"This is so much more interesting with you around, old friend." Baby giggled. "Well, I see you around, Chris. Goodbye."
"My name isn't-" Baby disappeared in the shadows. "...Chris."
He looked at Goldie. "Are you okay?" The ghost nodded. "I'm fine. We should get going."
"Okay..."
And so the two of them made their way out of the ruins, and the true journey began.
