Adept realizes that he can't just let the queen die, there has to be a way to bring her back. There was higher beings and she was one of them, so there must be a way to revive them correct?
He looks back at the coffin on the floor and just stares, why of all people he's responsible with the body..? And maybe even the palace.
"Queen, from beyond, do you hear me?" He waited for a response, something moving, a sound? Something? Anything?
His prayers where answered when he heard something move. That scared adept as he didn't expect it
"Can I bring you with me?.." he waited for another answer. No response, for a bit. Something moved again, it was wind but adept thought it was the queen
"Queen stay right here!" He said as he ran off the palace, trying to get a moss charger since the queen was bigger than him.
Once he returned he realized that the queen didn't smell, perhaps her higher up prestige meant that she would always be there, or maybe it was too early. Nonetheless now he had a moss charger and had tamed it. He mounted it and strapped it with the coffin.
He began going to greenpath, it would be a long way till there.
"Queen, I know you won't respond now, but if I see you again... will you tell me what happened?" "If I find out what killed you on my honor I will kill them!" He preached proudly and started tearing up again
Though he's mostly gotten over it he does still miss her company. He doesn't venture this far normally.
"When your back, we have to go out more! It's more fun!" He chuckled
"Let's see if I can actually remember how to get there.." he chuckled
They finally arrived there, he got the moss charger from there and just had kept him for a while.
"Queen we're here!" He slowed down the moss charger and parked him by a bench. He put the coffin on his back and he started walking
"Wow you're heavy!" He chuckled "not to be offensive!" He laughed a little, he's trying to lighten up the mood so he doesn't fall into a constant state of depression.
It's not hard to tell that he's forcing these jokes out.
He started getting deeper and it's pretty safe, nothing attacking them near the end he started slashing threw some agressives. He's not proud of this, these use to be people under the rule of the queen, but, sadly he has to do this.
He looks at his hands and pauses for a second looking at the blood of his past friends and allies.
Why did they start this?
No one told them too.
If he wants to figure out how to bring her back he'll probably need to talk to him.
He can't bear to look at his hands. Disgusting
He continues walking until he gets to a pond, where he takes a break.
He sits down on the grass as he washes his hand and sword.
"Queen, do you ever think... I'll see you again? Like Iff I can't actually bring you back.. what will I do with my life? That's the only thing I know how to do.. I have been trained to protect you all my life but what do I do when I can't do the only think I know how to do?.." he tears up a little. He doesn't like being too emotional but this is an exception.
Adept stays there for a bit.. thinking about what they could be doing if she weren't dead..
He gets up. This is no time for a crisis. He's trying to save the queen!
He gets up and picks up the queen once more he continued walking and he ran into into a problem. There was these jumps and the coffin would be to heavy.
He threw the coffin over the lake "SORRY QUEEN!" He continued this process for a while. Till he got to the lake. He sat down for a bit. Right next to the lake of Unn
"Uhm Unn I o don't know if you can hear me but.." he teared up a little "I really need you to uh"
"Help me out here okay?"
"Look. The radiance has died and I was wondering..."
"Can you bring people back to life? Or at least let me talk to them?" He waited for a response, the sound of nature being the only thing he heard, he saw something emerge.
Unn had arisen for him, people say they barely ever see her but she might've wanted to help a fellow higher being.
Unn looked sad, she can't talk since, she's a slug. She spit a whistle at him, and just looked at him. Waiting for him to pick it up.
Adept picks it up and looks at it "is this.. is this for me?.."
Unn looked at him and nodded going back into the lake. How odd
"Well... that was useless" he looked at the whistle and he took his helmet off
He has it extremely close to his mouth and was about to blow it "Queen? Do you trust Unn?" He said and proceeded to hear something coming towards him, he gasped and got ready to fight. It was a giant green slug. It looked like Unn and it looked ready to travel. So he hopped on and traveled, alongside the queen. "Queen.. when I get home? Can I go to sleep?" He remembered that he might have her with him but, she's not really there.
Once in the palace he looks around and plants some of the flowers he found around he sat on the floor and placed the queen down. He locked the doors of the palace. Hoping for some growth from the flowers so if anyone got in they might not do anything. He got the queen out of her coffin and gently placed her down on her throne.
"Goodnight queen." Silence, pure silence.
He went to his bed and took his armor off, it had been a very long day for him.
He deserves it
(Next up is the pale troupe, and then maybe brumm but that doesn't matter... for now...
