SOMEWHERE IN CASTLE BLECK…

~*-SPP-*~

"…and that is how the ruffians managed to best me." Dimentio concluded in front of everyone, including the Dark Prognosticus.

"Ah ha ha. They are strong, to be sure… very strong. Dare I say," he went on, "They may be strong enough to defy the prophecy!" At that, Count Bleck spat.

"Spare Count Bleck your theatrics. The Light Prognosticus is false. Especially when the Dark Prognosticus holds the key to eliminating Heroes that rise to stop us. Na-"

"Oh my! That's the first time that morsel of information has touched my ears. Do tell!" An overly eager Dimentio inquired of the count.

"All in due time, Dimentio. Bleh heh heh heh heh. Now, Nastasia, the time is nigh to set 'her' on these pests."

"Yeah, um, I can take care of that for you, Count."

"Lovely, exclaimed Count Bleck. Return to your posts, my minions!" They all shouted the same reply and left in their stylistic manner. Nastasia stayed behind and sighed.

"Does something trouble you, Nastasia?" The count asked.

"Yeah, Count… You know, there's still time… You can still change your mind. Yo-"

"That is enough, Nastasia. We've already come this far, so we shall forge on! …But you needn't stay by Count Bleck's side. You can depart with my blessing…"

"NO! …I mean, um, no, my count. I won't be doing that. My life is already sworn to you. Yeah, it belonged to you since the day you saved me. I'll be sticking by your side until my game ends, 'K?" Count Bleck paused a moment. He then responded with, "If that pleases you…"

He left, she walked off, Dimentio spoke.

"My my my! How interesting! Nastasia and the count have such deep conversations!" He appeared in the room and resumed his conversation with himself. "Mm… Just what is our dear count playing at? Ah, well, I'll let them worry about that, I must attend to my own… projects." With that, he finally left.

"Timpani, why? Why do you
avoid me?"

"Ow… OW! Unhand me!"

"Huh? You're crying! Why?
Timpani, you must tell me
what has happened!"

"It's nothing… Don't worry
about it… Just forget it…"

"Oh no… Timpani, is my
father behind this?"

"I'm… I'm just an ordinary
girl. No matter how much I
love you, we must part."

"Timpani… I…"

"This is good-bye, Blumiere.
There's no other choice.
This… is… our fate…"
