Matt's crew gazed at the unbelievable miracle in front of them. Margrethe came back to life, but she was really different.
"Margrethe? Is it really you?" -Matturse asked.
"Please, call me 'Luo Maige' " -she replied.
"I... okay, Luo Maige"
She looked at him and his friends with a slight smile on her new face.
"You must have a lot of questions, I'll give my best to answer them"
"For starters, I would like to know about your power. How is it possible to come back to life in a different life form?" -the necromancer asked.
"According to the guardian who spoke to me, it's about the people who choose to sacrifice themselves. If a person that sacrificed himself wanted to live, he gets trapped in that square cage near Olympus. Now, if someone who cares enough about the person goes to free him, he needs to choose between those elements. It's like the second chance, that's why I gained this gift."
"According to a guardian angel? I doubt you can trust them!" -Matturse said, eyebrows furrowed.
"Snap out of it, Matt. You can believe them on this one. They are strictly forbidden to lie to their imprisoned souls" -Greatsaw told him.
"Out of my curiosity, I have another question for you. Now that you are a mermaid, there is nothing left from your cat powers?" -the arachnomancer added.
"Actually, I still do. It's pretty weird, but look. I still have my cat sized claws so, I guess I am both, a werecat and a mermaid" -Luo Maige answered, showing off her claws from her slimy hand.
"That's great. Now it is my turn to ask a question. Not to be nosy but, why are you prefering to be called 'Luo Maige' all of a sudden?" -Sharah questioned her.
At that moment, the mermaid's smile started to fade.
"It's a story I never told you about. I haven't even said it to Matturse back then, obviously because all of you were used to calling me Margrethe. So here it is..."
She sighed and spoke again.
"Back when I was a kid, my father was arguing often with my mother about a stupid thing. They were having disagreements about my name, because my mother wanted to name me a cute name that sounded Asian. Luo Maige sounded just about right, but I couldn't imagine being called that. I was so ashamed and I couldn't speak clearly for myself. So, I sided with my father and accepted to be addressed as Margrethe. But... now that I have been reborn, I have never felt more freedom in my life. I feel like I finally get the chance to say that Luo Maige is actually nice to hear. That's the whole story" -she explained while tears of happiness escaped through her eyes.
Then, she looked at Miyuki, eyeing her with curiosity.
"So, you must be Miyuki, right? The moon mistress and Matturse's wife?"
"The very same. Matturse told me a few things about the past, how you sacrificed yourself, trying to free him from the infection" -Miyuki looked down, feeling empathy about her.
"Hey! No more sad faces, love. I'm here and that's all thanks to you. You brought me back when I needed you and I want you to be proud of yourselves!" -she replied, pating her shoulder.
"Well, I am extremely honored to meet you, Luo Maige"
Then, they made a last gaze on the sky and the necromancer spoke again.
