Chapter 2: A Reunion & an Introduction
Back in the outer gardens of Illyria Castle during the evening, a young man whose brilliant blonde hair done in a ponytail is matched only by the exquisiteness of his blue eyes appears. His loose-fitting, yet regal-looking white outfit with blue trim makes him seem majestic, all topped off with his flowing, blue cape. By his side is a sword in scabbard that seems to glow with an ethereal power.
He looks around the gardens and says, "Dizzy! It's getting late! We need to retire!"
When he doesn't get a response, he just says, "Dizzy? Where are you?"
He then gets to the fountain and sees a book lying on the edge. Looking at it, he gets a fearful expression.
"This was the book Dizzy was going to read." says the man. "But, if the book is here... where is Dizzy?"
Starting to worry more, he looks around, almost seeming to panic.
The man then yells out, "Guards! We have an emergency!"
Soon, a man in a brown uniform approaches the young man and asks, "King Ky, what is the matter?"
"Where is Dizzy?" asks Ky. "Where is my wife?"
"I... I thought she was here in the gardens." says the man. "At least she was the last time I checked."
"Oh, this is not good." says Ky. "Listen, I want you to inform King Leo about this! And get someone to send a message to Sol and my son! I feel I'm going to need their help with this!"
"As you wish, your majesty." says the man. "But what about your wife's brother?"
"Find him if you can." says Ky. "However, no telling where he could be."
"Right." says the man with a bow before leaving.
After Ky is alone, he thinks to himself, "Oh, Sol, Izzy and Sin are going to be so mad at me about this. Where could Dizzy have gone off to?"
Meanwhile, in the evening, the group approaches a large, Renaissance-style town where the stone buildings are many and the citizens are legion.
"Here we are, Dizzy!" says Lissa. "This is Ylisstol, the largest city in all of Ylisse!"
Dizzy takes a moment to soak in the sight. Though she seems unimpressed by the scale of the city, she still smiles about how peaceful the place is.
"It's not as fancy as Illyria." says Dizzy. "But, it does remind me of it. Or at least when it's not being ransacked."
"I take it your world has its share of troubles." says Lucina.
"Yeah." says Dizzy. "But we manage. And even after all of the trouble, the rebuilding isn't all that bad."
"You will have to share more about your world, Lady Dizzy." says Lucina. "I'm sure it will get us to understand you better."
"Sure, I'll be glad to." says Dizzy.
"Ah, home sweet home!" says Robin. "I wonder how the people of this city have been since I left?"
"Well, aside from mourning your death constantly, the bards also sing your praises on a daily basis." says Chrom. "And the poets that wrote about you have become almost as famous as you. In fact, I think Brady's violin solo he wrote for you made him a household name in that people around the world come for miles just to hear him play."
"Yeah." says Lissa with a slight frown. "It was good music, but the way it sounds is so tragic, I just about always wanted to cry listening to it because I was always reminded of you."
"I'm so sorry about my decision back then." says Robin. "I knew it would cause you all to grieve. But, I didn't know it would get to be that bad."
"Well, don't worry." says a reassuring Chrom. "You're back with us, and your ressurection is only going to serve to make you even more famous than you were in the past."
"Uh, I'm a little confused." says Dizzy. "I heard you mention something about Robin dying, and I thought it was a metaphor. But now, you talk about her 'resurrection'. Do you mean that Lady Robin actually died?"
"Not to mince words... yes." says Chrom. "At least, that's how it could have ended up if not for what Naga told us."
"Wow." says Dizzy.
"We'll talk more about it when we get to the castle, though I don't know if it will be tonight." says Frederick. "Let us be on our way. It is about to get dark."
"Right you are, Frederick." says Chrom.
"Let's go see the others!" says Lissa.
And with that, the group begins to make their way through the town.
Suddenly, an old man takes notice of Robin, and says, "Sweet blessed Naga! Is that the great Lady Robin?"
Hearing him, the other citizens all look to see that Robin is indeed among the group, all of them with the biggest smiles ever.
"Better brace yourself, Robin." says Lissa leaning in close to the tactician.
"I can't believe it!" says a man. "She's returned! The great slayer of Grima has returned from the dead!"
"It's a miracle!" says a young woman. "This has to be a miracle by Naga!"
Soon, just about the whole town flocks to Robin in droves.
"Wow, I really am famous!" says Robin.
"Told ya'!" says Lissa.
"Welcome back, Lady Robin!" says a rotund woman.
"All of Ylisse just hasn't been the same without you, Lady Robin!" says a young man.
"You mean the whole world, don't you?" says a young woman.
"Let us know if we can do anything for you!" says another old man.
"Wow, thank you all!" says Robin. "It's so great you all think so highly of me!"
"We always have." says an elderly woman. "You weren't the Shepherds' master tactician for nothing. But destroying the Fell Dragon the way you did by sacrificing your life... that's made you nothing short of legendary."
"She's right!" says a man. "And now that you've been resurrected, I'm sure even the heavens will put you down in the history books!"
"I never thought I'd amount to so much." says Robin. "To think I started out as a mere tactician with amnesia, and now, I've become a legend in this world. It truly is amazing."
"Let's hear it for Lady Robin!" says a young man. "Long live her greatness and legend!"
"YAY!" shout all of the citizens before blasting out in thunderous applause and cheers.
"Well, if you're all done with the heaping of praise..." says Frederick. "...we really need to get to the palace."
As Frederick moves ahead of the group, he then tries to move through the gigantic gathering of people in the city, only forced to deal with more who take notice of Robin.
As they manage to get through enough people, the group finally makes it to an opening.
However, while the attention is fixated on Robin, a young girl takes notice of Dizzy and asks, "Was that an angel? Does Lady Robin have a guardian angel with her?"
A woman kneels down next to the girl and says, "Were you noticing that woman, too?"
"Yeah." says the girl. "Is she Lady Robin's guardian angel?"
"Who knows?" asks the woman. "I have to say, she's definitely a strange one."
"Incredible." says Dizzy. "You really ARE that famous, aren't you?"
"I guess I am." says Robin. "Not sure if I'm worthy of it, to be honest."
"Robin, you've always been worthy to me." says Chrom. "You were worthy when I first found you in that field unconcious so long ago, and you're definitely worthy today. Never think otherwise."
"I'll keep that in mind." says Robin.
Though confused, Dizzy can't help but smile through her confusion.
As the group enters the castle, they walk into a room that would be the grand hall.
"Everyone, wait here." says Chrom. "I'm going to tell the news to our friends."
"Right." says Robin. "I can't wait!"
"I'm sure you're going to love every minute of it." says Chrom with a wink.
After that, Chrom leaves the grand hall.
"So, how many friends do you all have?" asks Dizzy. "Or more to the point, how many members of the Shepherds are there?"
"I believe if you count Exalt Chrom and all of us, plus the current ones we have as well as the children from the future..." says Frederick. "...I believe it comes to around 38 members."
"That many?" asks Dizzy. "I know the number of knights in this kingdom has to be larger, but still... Exalt Chrom must be incredibly charismatic to get that many following his banner."
"Well, if anything, milord may have recruited a lot of them." says Frederick. "But in reality, it's Lady Robin here who got the most of them to open up. It was HER charisma that got them to work together with her and each other."
"I suppose both Ky and myself and have been like that." says Dizzy. "Mainly Ky for his political stature. And even then, when he was merely the Captain of the Internation Police Force, he always had a charm about him that got people to want to fight alongside him. I know that same charm won me over, and he and I ended up becoming lovers."
"Wow, sounds so romantic." says Lissa. "I'll never forget the day Vaike proposed to me. Of course, being Chrom's brother-in-law has made him a little softer in Chrom's eyes. But you know? I think that's for the best."
"Yeah, and I'll always remember the day that Chrom proposed to me." says Robin. "In fact, the day he confessed his love was equally special. Ironically, it would be after a couple of uncomfortable moments. But hey, I guess it does prove that old saying about couples."
"What's that?" asks Lissa.
"Oh, you don't know?" asks Robin.
"Um, am I supposed to?" Lissa answers with her own question.
"Well... let's forget I said anything." says an innocent Robin.
"Yes, well..." says Frederick. "In any case, we may not be as large as the Ylissean knights, but as Ylisse's elite fighting force, the Shepherds go above and beyond to protect those in need, be they in our country or others."
"It's still impressive to this day that the Shepherds started out as a mere group of sorts that dealt with meager troublemakers." says Lissa. "And now, many years later, that same group would become a force that would determine the fate of the world. Amazing how such events will alter your destiny."
"Remember what mom says, aunt Lissa." says Morgan. "'We're not pawns of some scripted fate. It's the bonds we form that tie us together.'"
"Well said, Morgan." says an impressed Robin. "Well said."
"So you don't believe in anything like fate?" asks Dizzy.
"Fate is just something to give people false peace of mind, or to make them think it's a higher power at work." says Robin. "Gods we may have in this world, but it's really us mortals that shape our future and determine our course in life. And to me, that makes me feel stronger and able to accomplish more on my own than just having some form of divinity do it for me."
"That's really deep." says Dizzy. "In fact, I've never taken the time to consider that possibility. Then again, I'm still quite young."
"We all have learning to do." says Frederick. "I'm sure that, even with your 'gifts', you'll have plenty to study up on."
"Believe me, even in my own world, there's still so much I have yet to learn." says Dizzy.
"Then maybe learning new things in our world will make you better prepared for the event that you do return to yours." says Frederick.
"You think so?" asks Dizzy.
"We all have new things to learn, milady." says Lucina. "How we choose to learn them, and the pace we want to learn them at is our own, and only our own. Took me a long time to realize that."
"How so?" asks Dizzy.
"You'll learn one of these days." says Lucina. "Rest assured, I won't leave you ignorant while you're here."
Dizzy replies with, "Thank you, Princess Lucina."
"Just Lucina is fine." says the young sword-woman with a giggle.
Chrom then returns to the grand hall and says, "Everyone's ready. Come on!"
"Right." says Robin with a nod and fiercely cute smile.
"I sure hope everyone likes me." says Dizzy.
"Well, you might be our strangest newcomer yet." says Lissa. "But don't worry, I just know the other Shepherds are going to love you."
After that, everyone begins to walk to the doorway.
In the throne room, a large gathering of people are there, with three women surrounding what looks to be a baby girl with blue hair of at least two years. One of the women looks to be a young teen with long, green hair and pointed ears while her outfit doesn't leave a terrible amount to the imagination, while another woman has blonde hair done in a couple of braids hanging over her shoulders, and her light green clothing gives her a soft elegance. And finally, the other woman is a black haired woman with gold circlet and her black outfit is to a point, even more revealing than the green haired girl's, what with the mesh parts and openings over the chest, stomach and inner legs that her black robes fail to cover.
"Look, Lucina!" says the green-haired girl to the baby girl. "Mommy is home!"
"Aren't you... happy... Lucina?" asks the blonde women as if she's struggling to speak.
"You must've missed her for so long." says the black-haired woman. "I know I have."
"Well, what are you what are you waiting for?" Chrom whispers to Robin. "Go say hello."
Robin then approaches everyone and says, "Hey, everyone."
"WELCOME HOME, ROBIN!" shouts the whole gang.
"It's good to be home." says Robin with the biggest smile she's ever had.
"Oh, Robin!" says a girl with dark brown, borderline black clothes and armor and long, brown hair as she has tears in her eyes.
The girl tries to run to Robin, but before she can make it, she trips and falls on her face.
"Is she okay?" Dizzy asks.
"She's fine, more or less." says Lissa with a shrug. "That's just Sumia for you."
Robin approaches Sumia, who's manages to lift her head up and go, "Ow! Not again."
"Poor Sumia." says Robin as kneels down to her. "Haven't changed a bit, have you? But then... you wouldn't be the Sumia we know and love if you did."
"So you still think I'm a plain and boring girl?" asks a downtrodden Sumia.
"Far from it." says Robin with a warm smile. "You were never plain to begin with."
Sumia says with a bright smile, "Thank you, Robin." She then notices Dizzy, who just waves, and Sumia gives her the most curious expression.
Noticing Sumia, Robin says, "That's a new friend of ours. Her name is Dizzy. She's going to be joining the Shepherds."
"Really?" asks Sumia.
"That's right." says Chrom. "So this day is twice as special; we get Robin back AND we get a new Shepherd."
"Yeah, and you all need to see all the powers Dizzy has!" says Lissa. "She's amazing!"
"More amazing than the Vaike?" asks a man with blonde hair in an unusual style and wearing armor that doesn't look like it protects all that well, among other clothes made for a fighter.
"Oh, you HAVE to see this girl in action!" says Lissa. "You're all going to be impressed, if not a little terrified."
Dizzy looks solemn.
Noticing this, Morgan says, "Aunt Lissa, you might want to hold off of all that praise. I think you're kind of making Lady Dizzy feel uncomfortable."
"Really?" asks Lissa.
"Remember, Lissa." says Dizzy. "As incredible as my power is, I absolutely loathe violence."
"Oh, sorry." says Lissa.
"Well, we can discuss more with Dizzy later." says Chrom. "In the meantime, I think baby Lucina wants to see her mother."
Standing up, Sumia says, "Yeah, Lucina has been a wreck ever since you left, eventhough Chrom has been doing his best to tend to her needs. I think she needs her mother more than ever."
"Oh, Lucina." says Robin as she sees the baby with the three women. While still kneeling, she says, "Come here, my child. I've wanted to see you for so long. I just hope you remember me."
"Go see her, Lucina." says the green-haired girl as she lightly pushes baby Lucina forward.
"Don't hog her all to yourself, though." says the black-haired woman.
As baby Lucina approaches Robin, she gets a good enough look at the white-haired tactician.
Joy finding her face, baby Lucina shouts, "Mommy!"
Wasting no time, Lucina runs up to Robin, who holds her arms out.
"Her first word!" says Chrom. "That was her first word!"
As the two embrace each other, Robin picks up the baby Lucina and says, "I'm so glad to see you again, Lucina. I'm so sorry I was gone for so long. I feel terrible for missing your first birthday. But rest assured, I'm not going anywhere. I plan to be with you for as long as possible."
Chrom comes near them and says, "I can't believe she said her first word! And of all times, it was on your return! I'll never forget this moment for as long as possible."
"And I want to be with you to experience more incredible moments like this one." says Robin.
"Anyway, let me see Lucina." says Chrom after Robin and Lucina have embraced for a while. "Why don't you go say hi to all of our friends? They've been waiting for you for a long time. And while you're at it, you can introduce Dizzy to them."
"Sounds good." says Robin as she gives baby Lucina to Chrom. After that, she turns to all of the others and asks, "Well, what are you all waititng for? It's been a year and a half, so let's celebrate!"
"YEAH!" say the others.
After that all of the others begin to move towards Robin, who holds onto Dizzy's right hand and says, "Let's go say to hi to all of them, okay?"
"Sure." says Dizzy.
"I missed you so much, Robin!" says the green-haired girl hugging Robin. "Let's play a game!"
"Sure thing, Nowi." says Robin hugging the girl back. "But maybe not tonight. It's getting pretty late."
"It's so good to see you're back!" says a woman with long red hair and white armor and outfit designed in a unique fashion.
"It's good to be back, Cordelia." says Robin.
"Yeah, I've hardly been able to eat as much as I use to." says a knight in green armor and with messy-looking, muddy green hair. "And for me, that's unheard of."
"I'm sorry you almost starved yourself over me, Stahl." says Robin.
"Robin, I found a new curse to keep you from vanishing again!" says the black haired woman that was with baby Lucina.
"Thanks, Tharja." says Robin. "I promise to never do something like that again."
"I knew Naga would hear our cries for you, Robin." says a feminine-looking man with long, blonde hair and white outfit.
"I'm glad you didn't lose hope, Libra." says Robin.
After a few more people tell Robin "Welcome back", a young, reddish brown-haired boy in a funny hat and black armor comes up to Dizzy and asks, "So, Chrom and Robin say you're joining the Shepherds, right?"
"That's correct." says Dizzy. "My name is Dizzy."
"Pleasure to meet you." says Ricken. "My name is Ricken. Tell me, what exactly are you? Those wings and that tail tell me you're definitely far from human. Hope that doesn't sound bigoted."
"I've heard and faced worse." says Dizzy. "Don't think too hard about it."
"I've been meaning to ask about you, as well." says a man with shoulder-length, light blue hair, and clothes and armor that have a noble air. "By the way, if you must know my name, fair lady, I am Duke Virion of Rosanne of Valm. And to top it off, I'm also the Archest of Archers."
"I concur about wanting to ascertain more knowledge on what bipedal organism you are." says a woman with dark reddish-brown hair in a basic style and length while wearing a hat similar to that of Ricken, but having on a large robe and extravagant garments. "You are most astonishing on just how a species like you could exist, especially in our corporeal world. Oh, and the persona of my being is Miriel."
"Yeah, and besides..." says a woman with bright red, short hair in brilliant red armor approaching. "...if Lissa says you're as powerful as you are, then I've damn well got to test that out for myself. Name's Sully."
Dizzy says looking solemn, "Pleasure to meet you all, but I'm afraid you don't want to test how powerful I am, Ms. Sully. My powers are beyond your understanding."
"Then all the more reason to test them out." Sully responds back.
Dizzy, still looking solemn, sighs and says, "If you must know, I come from another world."
"I assume you refer to the Outrealms." says Miriel.
Realizing she's never heard of "Outrealms" before, Dizzy becomes a bit startled, though she continues with, "I suppose you could say that, but it's more complicated. Naga brought me into this world, saying my power could be used to help."
"But what exactly are you?" asks Ricken.
Dizzy says, "Well, just to be clear, I AM half-Human. But, as for my other half, I'm a type of lifeform from my world known as a Gear."
"A Gear?" asks a confused Virion.
"Yes, I fear I do not comprehend." says Miriel.
Looking back at Dizzy after she has finished with her reunion, Robin says, "I guess we're about to learn about our newest member."
"Basically, for all of you who are not familiar with my kind..." Dizzy starts to say. "...Gears, or Genetically Enhanced Augmented Retroframes were not an original species, but one that was created by humans in my world in the early 21st century. You see, you have magic in your world, and the humans of my world discovered and created magic, which was used in the making of Gears."
"So you're basically made from magic?" asks a man with stylishly short hair that matches Virion's, and armor and clothes that look to be made for horseback combat. "No wonder you're so beautiful."
"Is really now the time, Inigo?" asks a girl with short hair that matches Stahl's, and wearing heavy, purple armor.
"Well, I speak the truth, Kjelle." says Inigo. "I'm not flirting. Honest."
"Yeah, right." says a girl with silver hair done in long pigtails and wearing medium armor, boots and skirt.
"I'm glad you think that, sir." says Dizzy with a soft smile.
"Just don't get any ideas, Inigo." says Robin. "You're married, and so is she."
"Not officially." says Dizzy. "Complications kind of keep Ky and me from marrying for real."
"But you still have a son, right?" asks Robin.
"I do." says Dizzy.
"It's all the same to me." Robin replies back.
"In any case..." says Dizzy. "...most Gears were either created artificially or were once human only to be converted into a Gear. However, I was born a Human-Gear hybrid. Same goes for my son, Sin, although Ky seems to have absorbed my Gear cells in the process. What will become of him, I don't know."
"Wow, you're talking some complicated stuff here, Wings." says a man with attractively short, orange hair and wearing black clothing and armor, along with a matching headband. He also seems to have a sucker in his mouth. His reaction to Dizzy's talk is just to scratch his head.
"Yes, I must admit, this is hard to fathom." says a woman with brown shirt, furry shorts, a load of brown fur as well as what appears to be brown, rabbit ears. "I almost assumed you to be a missing member of the Taguel race, but now, you're saying you're some unheard of species created by magic. Only difference between you and other members of your kind is that you were born naturally. Is that what you're saying?"
"Yes, but I suspect that's not what's confusing you, Ms., uh..." says Dizzy.
"My name is Panne, and you catch on quick, milady." says the bunny woman. "What confuses me is that you're saying you gave birth to another of these... hybrids. And yet, somehow, the man you reproduced with picked up your... essence, I guess we could call it?"
"My cells, yes, but call them whatever you want to." says Dizzy.
"So, what abilities do you possess as a... Gear, you call yourself?" asks a man with black hair, glasses and an outfit nearly similar to that of Miriel's. "What do they include?"
"Well, each Gear possesses different abilities based on their DNA, class and/or traits." says Dizzy. "However, for me, I possess a great number of abilities; I can use multiple types of magic, shapeshift parts of my body, transform and fly. And as the type of Gear that I am, my muscular strength is more than ten times that of the average human, and my skin is extremely durable."
"Yeah, no kidding about that last part!" says Morgan. "A brigand tried to cut Dizzy, but as his sword made contact with her skin, it broke into pieces! You guys had to be there!"
A shocked expression paints the whole group, except for Tharja, who just has on the most fascinated look on her face.
"I will admit, I wouldn't get as far as I have without my two systems, Necro and Undine." says Dizzy. "They take the form of my two wings. Necro, Undine, you two want to say hello? Don't make everyone panic too much, now."
Suddenly, Dizzy's wings transform, and the shocked expressions grow to astronomical levels. Of course, Tharja's fascinated look now almost seems to be that of pure joy.
"These are my systems." says Dizzy.
"Pleasure to meet you all." says Undine. "My name is Undine. I represent Dizzy's more benevolent side."
"And I'm Necro." says the black, reaper wing himself. "I'm more of Dizzy's unihibited side that's all about pure combat."
"They both protect me from harm." says Dizzy. "They both do it to extremes, though Undine does it more out of a motherly sense while Necro is like that bouncer in front of the entrance to the bar combined with a battle-crazed soldier."
"And if any of you try to hurt or take advantage of Dizzy, you will regret it!" says Necro pointing to each of the people in front.
"That's enough, Necro." says Dizzy stroking him. "If you be good tonight, I'll groom you tomorrow."
Suddenly, Necro's demeanor changes as he says excitedly, "Ooh, really?"
"That's right, but you have to be on your best behavior." says Dizzy.
Undine just sticks her tongue out at Necro and says, "Like that'll happen."
"That goes for you, too, Undine." says Dizzy. "You both need to behave."
"Very well." says Necro with a sigh. "Anyway, I'm going for a rest. I'll see you tomorrow."
After Necro transforms back into wing form, Undine hugs Dizzy and says, "You get plenty of rest, Dizzy."
"I will, Undine." says Dizzy. "You do the same."
Undine yawns before transforming back into wing form.
After that, Dizzy lets out a yawn and says, "I'm getting tired, myself."
"Right." says Chrom. "Frederick, see that the butlers and maids prepare a room for Lady Dizzy."
"On my way, milord." says Frederick with a bow. "Lady Dizzy, please follow me. I think I know a good room to put you in, one fitting for the queen that you are."
"Wait, she's a queen?" asks a blonde-haired woman with an overly elegant style, and wearing pink and white clothing.
"Oh, did I forget to mention?" asks Dizzy. "My unofficial husband, Ky is the High King of Illyria and I'm his queen. Of course, Illyria doesn't function like your typical monarchy. But I can discuss that more tomorrow. I'm really worn out."
"Again, please follow me." says Frederick.
"Right." says Dizzy. She then turns back to the others and says with a bow, "Good night, everyone."
After Dizzy and Frederick have left, many of the others still look as shocked as they did when Necro and Undine revealed themselves.
"I have to say, I don't know what her unofficial husband should feel luckier about." says Inigo. "Either having her as a lover. Or the fact she's able to keep those 'wings' of hers under control."
Afterwards, Dizzy finds herself in a bedroom with walls the softest shade of blue ever while the white carpeting looks like it snowed in the room. Against the wall is a queen-sized bed with sheets and blankets that look as luxiurious as they must be expensive.
Standing at the entrance, Frederick asks, "Will this room suffice, milady?"
"Oh, definitely." says Dizzy. She then bows and says, "Thank you, Sir Frederick."
"Well, if my work here is done, I shall let you get some sleep." says Frederick. "Do you need any sleepwear?"
"That's alright." says Dizzy. "I can just use my powers to create me some. That's another of my abilities."
"Yes, I've been meaning to talk more about your 'powers'." says a stern Frederick. "But that can wait until tomorrow. You have a good night, Lady Dizzy."
"Good night to you, too." says Dizzy.
Frederick bows before closing the doors.
Afterwards, Dizzy says, "Well, guess I'll be spending my first night in this world here."
Dizzy then uses her powers to change make her current garments disappear into white feathers while a white, slightly transparent light covers her body before matching white, lace bra and panties appear on her.
"There we go." says Dizzy. "This should be comfortable enough."
After getting the yellow ribbons out of her hair, letting it fall, as well as the one on the end of her tail to set them aside and putting out the light, Dizzy crawls into bed. As she does, many thoughts begin to bombard her.
"I wonder how Ky, Izzy and Sin will fare without me." thinks Dizzy. "Even Sol is going to be so angry I left this world when I return. I don't know if I'll ever return. I know this is only my first night, but already, I miss my friends and family so much. I just hope whatever I have to do won't take too long."
Feeling her eyes getting heavier, Dizzy drifts off to sleep.
To Be Continued in Chapter 3.
