Sade
Just as I finish sharpening my rapier, I leave my room to grab something to eat. Looks like Estrella's still in her room. Good, I'll put my plan into action as soon as I'm ready.
Since I'm not great when it comes to rations, I just make a dozen dry corned beef sandwiches before wrapping them individually in paper towels and plastic wrap. Then I divide them equally into two large rucksacks along with other travelling supplies.
Grappling hooks, extra coils of rope, water canteens, bedrolls, etc. Buckling both of them up, I lay them carefully by the door before heading back into my room for one more thing.

Walking up to Estrella's room, I hastily start rapping on the door.
"It's open." comes the quiet voice of Estrella. Upon opening her door, I immediately jump back from the smell of her room. Stale food and rancid liquids make for a disgusting combo. I see Estrella just sitting on her bed, and she looks like she's already died. After Chris left her, I haven't seen her do her hair up, take a bath, or even train with her blades. Still, what would Chris hope to accomplish besides helping Noelia? If anything, wouldn't Estrella have sensed Chris' intentions?
Sigh...maybe it's time to use my genetic abilities. Estrella doesn't seem to care, but I think this will get her to come back to her senses. Reaching into my rucksack, I pull out a golden syringe. Fairy DNA. Then I inject myself while Estrella finally jumps up in shock.
"Don't!" But that's the last thing I hear before a bright light engulfs me.
I awake to the low hum of something. Opening my eyes, I seem to be floating in water. However, I see someone in front of me. She looks strangely familiar. Oh! It's that goddess from The Phantom Region, I think her name is Noelia…
"Funny to see the sister of Estrella here. I'm guessing this is the Fairy DNA that Chris mentioned about you." she casually states.
Huh? Chris told her all about that? That really makes me wonder what else Chris is telling her. Still, she also lets me know that Chris has nearly reached the Shrine of Magic and will be heading home soon.
That's good news for Estrella at least, but she'll need to move fast if she wants to meet Chris ahead of time. Just as Noelia finishes explaining, the same bright light comes over me once again.
I'm back in Estrella's room, and she immediately rushes over to me before tightly embracing me.
"Damn it Sade! You know what my worst fear is, so why do you do things like this?" she yells at me, but it causes me to sigh in relief. She's finally showing emotions once again. Once she's calmed down, I explain the situation to her. This seems to lift her spirits slightly...and while she starts to clean up her room before we leave, I look outside the front door.
It's a grey day, but I think the sun will be coming soon. Because I, Sade Silva, will work alongside my older sister to reunite Team CEBS!
