Teen Titans – Video Games Are Fun!
30. Chapter 29: Breaking the Seal
Mail Call!!!
Azule blu angel – Thanks. I'm glad I could throw some quality fic up for you to read. As for my sense of humor, I like it too.
Overactive Mind – But, I like the peanut gallery. Personally, I'm just glad that I could actually surprise you, even a bit. I thrive on doing the unexpected. I can't just be normal. That would just kill me.
Pimpofthetitans – Oh, don't worry 'bout it. I'm over it. I don't even remember what it is that I'm supposed to be over. By the way, you're right on the dot with the number of remaining chapters. There will be two numbered chapters, but three chapters in total.
InsanitysCandy – Don't worry 'bout that. I'll never leave this fic for dead. It's kinda like my baby or something. To be completely honest, I am quite honored to find that I have inspired you to play the game. It feels nice that, not only am I attracting people who are fans of the game, but I'm attracting people who've never played the game and turning them into fans. It makes me feel quite proud. As for the lemon, you can't call yourself a perv until you've actually been the one to write that kind of stuff.
TDG3RD – I know exactly how you feel. I, too, am both excited and depressed by the impending end of this fic. Let us all take solace in the fact that it shall have sequels; many, many sequels! I just hope that they're as good as this one was.
Warprince2000 – So, we meet again.
Oridor – Actually, I'm being vague about the Slade thing on purpose. If you remember, it took until "Masks" for us to finally find out anything about Slade's plans for Robin. So, I'm being vague, but don't worry. All shall be clear in the end. Let's just say that the plan isn't as moronic as I've been making it out to be thus far.
Mrbeans – Thanks for the review.
1- Good luck with that. I'm pretty sure that I've got anonymous reviews disabled, seeing as how I've yet to get a single one since joining the site. I never manually disabled it, but I think it just is.
2- Good. I'm glad you saw it that way, seeing as how that's what I was going for. It was pretty fitting, wasn't it?
3- Ah yes. That problem. It seems so strange reading about it, seeing as it's pretty much fixed now, for the both of us.
4- That really isn't something to be proud of y'know. It simply means that you're an even bigger perverted bastard than he is.
5- To be completely honest, I have absolutely no idea how long it'll take. I'm gonna try and get most of my listed upcoming fics done up before I start. We'll just have to see.
Paul Pyro – I just love surprising people. Maybe I like doing it so much since it's almost impossible for anybody to surprise me. Oh well. Anyways, thanks for the review.
Red Raven101 – Oh my god! I love this review! It just pointed out the major goodnesses of my fic in a simple and compressed way such as to make an easy read! I love it!
RaeFoxOni – Well actually, depending upon how you look at it, you could see a total of five cliffies, with the four incomplete fight scenes and the fact that I leave off with Raven's disappearance. Well, thanks for liking it so much, and here's the new chappy!
Sunkistgurl10 – Okay, thanks? As for the talkativeness, it would be really nice if you could be talkative about the chapter. Telling me that you liked is all nice and all, but I usually prefer to get some actual substance in the reviews I get. Though, I really can't complain. At least you're not another Warprince2000. Go through and read all the reviews he's sent me thus far in this fic. Then, do the same with all my other fics. He sends, like, the exact same review every time! I think that there have been a total of two exceptions!
Artemis 85 – I'm gonna ask nicely that you never say anything negative about gay people around me ever again. If you don't have anything nice to say about them, don't say anything at all. Speaking of which, there's a tiny bit of gay-ness in this chapter, just for you!
A/N: I've got one more Titan for you guys!
Kid Flash/Wally West – Age: 19
Now just under 6" in height, KF has gained a far greater control over his powers, though still becomes clumsy when exhausted. He's still the same jokester he's always been, and still hasn't been able to get into Jynx's pants. If you can guess why I accept their pairing simply from the slight hinting I placed in their conversation in the chapter, I'll… be really happy with you!

I sat on the couch, keeping a close eye on my communicator. I was hoping for any form of contact from any possible source. Hell, I was even willing to chat with Raven.
I'd never felt particularly safe alone in Titan's Tower. No matter how much time I'd spent there, it was never really my home.
Suddenly, my stomach began to rumble, signaling a need for sustenance. I stood and entered the kitchen area of the common room and ducked into one of the cabinets. Finding a package of oreos, I pulled it out and popped one into my mouth.
It was only with this that I decided that, given enough time, maybe I actually could make this my home.
My revelry was interrupted however, as a burst of bright yellow energy shot past my head and blew out one of the cabinets.
Dropping my snack, I flipped my head in the direction from which the attack had come. "You again?" I asked, exasperatedly, seeing that, somehow, Dr. Light had bypassed the tower's security.
Dodging a second blast, I ducked behind the counter.
"How the hell'd you get past Cyborg's security?" I called out, not truly expecting an answer.
"It was simple really" the overly shiny villain said in his usual over-the-top way. "The back door was open."
With a "What the hell?" I was forced to dodge another burst of light energy. Using the instant of time that always existed between his bursts of light, I leapt over the counter and prepared to send something flying at him when I remembered where I was.
"Shit!" I shouted, ducking an attack. I couldn't use my powers inside the tower. Sure, most of the materials used in it were elements from the earth, but I wasn't gonna bring the entire tower down just to bring Dr. Light to his knees.
"This is gonna be hard…" I muttered to myself.

"Why are you doing this?" I shouted at the woman in the white hued cloak, dodging a lance of freezing energy. I then had to cart wheel away from a similarly shaped blast of fire.
Y'know what? This probably wasn't the best place to start this chapter…
Flashback
I fell to my knees, staring transfixed at the cloak in my hands. Not ten minutes earlier, it had been a bright shade of baby blue, but now.
It was back to its original midnight blue shade.
Suddenly, the cloak was torn from my hands. I looked up to see Zelda holding it and examining it. "We don't have time for this" she nearly shouted. "We can still save her if we move quickly."
I was about to respond when she flipped the cloak around her. The room was suddenly filled with a bright light, which upon fading revealed Zelda in a pure white tunic, with Raven's cloak, now also white, clasped tightly about her shoulders.
"We have to go now" she stated harshly, turning and dashing from the room, her uncovered blond hair fanning out behind her along with the cloak.
Shaking my head to clear it of the daze, I ran out after her.
It wasn't long before we were standing at the edge of a cliff, looking out to the looming castle of the evil king.
Suddenly, I could hear a voice in my mind. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Zelda look off into space, showing that she was experiencing the same thing.
"Garfield, Raven?"
"Not quite" both Zelda and I replied simultaneously.
"Princess?" the voice nearly shouted. "This is… unexpected."
"Yeah, yeah" I muttered. "Could you just make that bridge thing so we can go?"
There was a moment of silence, but I could feel the voice's disappointment through our current link. "Very well."
With that, small orbs of technicolored light began to swirl over and around us until they expanded and mixed together and spread to span the massive gap between where we stood and the dark castle.
When the bridge seemed to be complete, I couldn't help but be cautious as I tested it to see if it was truly there.
With a small smirk tugging at my lips, I spoke a well known phrase. "Taste the rainbow. Believe the rainbow."
Zelda looked at me with an expression of confusion and, oddly enough, amusement upon her face.
After a short pause, the two of us began to run the length of the rainbow bridge. Before we were even fully across, I was struck by a thought. "Hey, Zelda?"
She looked over at me to show that she was listening.
"Why did it seem like that dude was disappointed when I told himt o hurry?"
"He has a hard time passing up an opportunity for a speech" Zelda replied with a small grin passing over her own face. "He always was a bit of an attention seeker."

"You're kidding me" I whispered to myself, grinning in a borderline manic fassion. I couldn't' help myself. One is bound to draw near to insanity when they find out that some villain who was supposed to be nearly godlike in power, had trapped you in a prison which you could break free from whenever you pleased.
I had been able to sense the strength of the magic sustaining the crystal, and it was almost sophomoric. I could escape whenever I desired. However, the amount of power I'd have to use in order to do so would be great, and I knew that a distraction would be needed for me to be able to regain my strength afterwards.
So, with my hope nearly bursting at the seams, complacently awaited the arrival of Gar and Zelda, as they'd definitely be distraction enough.

I looked around at the massive chamber in which we stood. Finally deciding upon the course of actions we'd take, I turned to address Zelda. "We should split up. We can take down the barriers a whole lot quicker that way."
Zelda shook her head negatively. "No. That would not be smart." She took another cursory glance about her before continuing. "We should stay together."
"But, that's exactly why we should split up" I replied with a small, almost invisible smirk.
"What are you talking about?"
"We've been outsmarting this guy on every turn" I replied. "He should be assuming that we'd do the smart thing and stay together. He won't be expecting us to split up."
She stared, slack jawed at me for a moment before recollecting herself and standing tall, though I still loomed over her by at least half a foot. "Fine. You are the hero after all."
I could sense some resentment coming from her, but dismissed it with a shake of my head. "Okay, I say we go in reverse order of the temples me and Rae took up 'til now."
"Fine" she said with a short nod. "That starts us with the ones for Spirit and Shadow."
I nodded in agreement. This was the exact strategy I always used when doing this place in the game. "Okay, you can do the Shadow one and I'll do the Spirit one."
"Okay, but I must first give you the power of the Light Arrows so that you can actually disrupt the barriers."
I nodded in understanding. Rather than doing some big, fancy, dramatic and shiny thing, she simply held the bow in her hands and focused upon it for a short time. "Good" she said, handing the bow and quiver to me. "Jusst focus on the kind of arrow you wish to use and it should work on its own."
I nodded once more and we each went our separate ways.
In the first room of the Spirit Mini-dungeon, I immediately went to work. I moved as quickly as possible, grabbing all the silver rupees I could get my hands on. Thankfully, they were all close to the ground, and I was able to get them with basically no difficulty.
I passed through the first door, taking out he flame slug as soon as I saw it with a quick stab from my sword. Wasting no time whatsoever, I jammed the blade through the bars and into the crystal switch on the other side.
As expected, a tiny treasure chest fell to the ground slightly to my right. I opened it and took out the bomchus. I realized with some slight apprehension that I'd yet to use a single one of these things.
The worst part was that I only had five.
My fears, however, were shoved aside as I was able to hit the switch far in the opposite room with the very first one. Apparently all the video games were helping me more than ever before. As the bombchu exploded, activating the switch, the door cutting me off from the room became unblocked. Passing through to the next room, I pulled out the bow and cocked an arrow without even realizing how quickly I'd moved.
I focused on every fire related idea I could come up with, then opened my eyes to find that the arrow was actually on fire.
"Sweet!" I shouted, sending the arrow flying at the strange membrane blocking the sun window on the ceiling. I then put the bow away and drew out the Mirror Shield and aimed it at one of the sun faces placed around the circular area. I pointed it at the one nearest the door, and it burned away. I could hear what sounded like whispering, and knowing what was coming, rolled out of the area of the room.When the normally invisible creature returned to its perch somewhere above the ceiling, I returned to my previous position and sent a beam of light at the second sun face from the door, which burned away, unblocking the door for me to continue.
In the next room, I stepped up onto the bland dais which the barriers control center stood on and drew the bow once more. I focused on an image of Dr. Light, and found a bright energy eminating from the arrow when I reopened my eyes.
This time, I shouted "Dude!" before shooting the arrow straight into the center of the orb and watched as it began to swell.
For just an instant, I could hear Nabooru's voice telling me that the barrier was broken, then the orb seemed almost as if to pop. There was a flash, and I found myself suddenly back in the central chamber. The strand of orange energy connecting with the base of the tower in the very center became thinner and thinner until it was no longer there.

I looked around myself at my puzzle and smirked slightly. "I bet that this was supposed ot be the most difficult puzzle, no?" I asked out loud as I literally walked across the open space until I reached the far platform.
I killed the like-like with a single burst of holy energy then examined my surrounding once more. There were two switches nearby each on separate platforms. I went over to each and activated them.
The first made a large chest appear in the center of the platform which had held the like-like before, while the second opened the door which would allow me ot continue onward. I first opened the chest to find a pair of gloves, which I decided must have been the Golden Gauntlets of legend then continued onto the next room.
I stared, almost disappointed at the ease of the trial, at the orb of purple energy before me. With a shrug, I sent a high intensity blast of holy energy at it. For a moment, I heard the voice of my ex-caretaker telling me that the barrier was broken before the orb ruptured and burst.
With a flash of energy, I found myself back in the main chamber. The beam of purple energy quickly flickered out of being, and I began to wait for Garfield to join me.
It wasn't long before he joined me and we met in front of the bridge to the tower's base.
"What are our next targets?" I asked, feeling impatient.
In an equally rushed tone, he replied "Next, you go to the Water place, and I'll take the Fire one."
I nodded. He handed a massive hammer over to me, and I decided to return the favor by handing him the Golden Gauntlets.
"Good" he muttered to himself, possibly unaware that I could hear him. "I was wondering if she'd taken the time to get these" he sighed, moving towards his destination.
I did the same, floating down to the lower level and passing through the door.
I used a small dagger I carried with me to break through the icicles surround the source of blue fire. A small group of Keese began to fly towards me, and I took them down with a mixture of light energy and beheadings from my dagger. With the coast clear, I filled up a small bottle with the strange flame and went over to an equally strange form of ice. Releasing the flames from the bottle, I watched in fascination as the flames reduced the ice to a puddle of what looked like water diluted with a small amount of blood. Shaking the idea away, I approached the door.
But, I stopped. "Wait" I mumbled, looking back at the fire. With a small shrug, I refilled te bottle then continued on to the next room.
Looking around at the puzzle before me, I sighed with exasperation. "This should be interesting."

I stood before the massive stone pillar and cleared my brow of sweat. With a sigh of resignation, I removed the Silver Gauntlets. My arms felt suddenly tired and weak. I remedied this by quickly throwing on the Golden Gauntlets, with greeted me with the familiar muscle aches which accompanied the first pair when first donned.
"Well, here goes nothin'" I muttered, pressing the tips of my fingers into the small space between the base of the pillar and the ground. With some slight effort and a grunt of effort, I brought the pillar over my head. I then hurled the platform with all my might, such that it landed in the lava and began to sink slowly.
Rubbing my now notably sore arms, I muttered "Eat your heart out Superman…"
With that, I grabbed the two remaining silver rupees and proceeded through the newly opened door. I pulled out the bow and cocked an arrow, the string seeming far too easy to pull back.
I let the arrow fly, and awaited the familiar effect. Once more, the orb swelled, I could hear the voice of the respective sage(Darunia in this case) telling me that the barrier was broken, and the orb exploded. I got a small laugh as the sage had referred to me as 'brother' in my mind, which had brought back the memory of him calling Raven that exact same thing before I was jerked rudely back into the main chamber. This time, I could see as the thin streamof red energy faded, that I had finished first this time around.
When Zelda returned from the Water trials, we met at the pillar blocking the entrance to the Light trials. With a sigh, I unearthed the stone and chucked it such that it shattered against the tower's base behind us. I laughed a bit as I saw how Zelda had ducked the flying pillar.
Dusting my hands off, I spoke out loud. "God, I hope I get to keep these when I go home."
With that, I made my way to the Forest Mini-dungeon and let Zelda go on her way.
In the first room, I sighed to myself. This room was gonna be interesting without the power of Din's Fire. With a sigh, I angled myself such that I'd be able to hit the first two unlit torches simultaneously, and released the already flaming arrow. It lit the two torches and I quickly took up the same position near the next two, and did the same with the same satisfying success.
I then aimed one last arrow at the sconch above the door and released, hitting it dead on. I was extremely lucky with this as the first two torches had already been on the verge of going out.

I sighed with agitation as I entered yet another room with a puzzle. Shaking my head, I stood on the small TriForce mark and quickly played the song from my childhood. In response to the melody, a small chest landed before me. Opening it, I found the key necessary to pass through the next door and did just that. In the next room, I stared iin stunned horror.
I was in the room that held the final powering structure for the barrier and found… absolutely nothing. There was no source, no orb of yellow energy, nothing at all.
Then, I was struck by inspiration. I approached the far wall and reached out to touch it, and… fell flat on my face in a small corridor behind it.
"Well, that hurt" I muttered, standing up and dusting myself off. All annoyance, however, was depleted by what I saw. "Finally!" I nearly shouted, sending a burst of incandescent light at the yellow orb smiling slightly as I was shot back to the main chamber.
I could already see Garfield resting against one of the rails of the bridge. The barrier began to swell and contort unnaturally. With a sudden realization, I shot up to stand between him and the unfocused magical energy and put up a barrier of my own around the both of us. The convulsing and erupting energy tore at my mental power and by the time it was done, I was exhausted.
I began to fall backwards, and expecting the hard embrace of the ground, was thoroughly surprised to find myself in a much softer one.
I remained as such, doing my best to regain as much energy as possible, until I realized just who must've been holding me.
I stood sharply and giving Garfield an even sharper glare, I marched towards the now opened tower entrance.

I shook my head mirthfully and chuckled silently to myself. I then began to follow after Zelda, muttering a simple "Like… aunt, like niece…" as I passed through the threshold of Ganon's Tower.
The first thing I noticed upon entering was Zelda, staring straight ahead with an expression of cold anger upon her delicate face.
"Zelda, what's wro-" I began, but upon looking in the direction she was, I stopped.
I opened my mouth as if to speak, then shut it again. I tried once more before I was finally able to speak. "Angela?"
Oddly enough, at the same moment as I'd spoken, so had Zelda. She, however, said something more along the lines of "The Seer…"
The woman smiled serenely at the two of us. "Actually, you're both close."
Suddenly, I could hear Zelda scream as she was surrounded by a circle of flame. "I can't do anything! The fire's too close to me!" she shouted, looking about her frantically.
"That's the point you blond bimbo" the woman I'd previously known as Angela said with a small chuckle. "Guess it's just you and me" she continued, turning sharply in my direction, causing her cloak to fan out around her.
End Flashback
"Why are you doing this?" I shouted at the woman in the white hued cloak, dodging a lance of freezing energy. I then had to cart wheel away from a similarly shaped blast of fire.
She never replied, simply sending varying bursts of energy in my direction. For awhile, I was doing well just dodging, but quickly found myself tiring.
"That's it!" I shouted, tearing the Master Sword from its sheath mid back flip. I then began to run a circle around the room, but at the exact moment that she realized my route, I made a jagged zigzag dash straight for her. She gasped in shock as I was suddenly on top of her, my blade to her throat. "I'll ask again" I growled in her face. "Why are you doing this?"
She seemed to relax a bit before saying "I needed to test you." Needless to say, I was shocked.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Zelda asked, running up beside me, apparently freed from her fiery prison.
"I had to be certain that he was skilled enough to deserve the title of Hero of Time" she said, tensing up once more.
I looked back and forth between the two women, and finally had enough. I moved my face to about an inch from her own and asked "Where is Raven?" in a low husky growl which save for situations exactly like this one.
"As if you don't know" the woman said, preparing to laugh, but stopping herself as she realized just how close to her throat the blade was. "Could you, I don't know, possibly, get that just a tiny bit further from my throat?"
"You won't have to worry 'bout the sword if you tell me one more thing."
Both Zelda and the woman looked at me confusedly. "Who are you really, and why have you been hanging out with me?"
She sighed at that and seemed to become slightly sad for a moment before looking me straight in the eye. "Let me up and I'll tell you everyting." I wasn't quite sure whether I should let her up or not, but finally did when she said "Please."
She stood and began to wipe herself off. When she was finished, she began to speak once more. "Okay, who I am is a confusing thing to explain. My official title as of late is The Seer." She glanced briefly at Zelda. "When I'm hanging around Kakariko, I go by my Earth name; Angela." She glanced at me with that part.
"Wiat" I said suddenly. "How do you know about Earth?"
She smiled at me for a fraction of a second. "A quick one aren't we?" She sighed, but still seemed calm and collected. "This should answer any questions you may have for me. Why have I been working with Ganondorf? Why have I been hanging out with you? Why are my powers so similar to those of Raven and Zelda?"
We both stared expectantly at her as she seemed to take a short break.
"My true name is… Arella."
My jaw dropped to the floor and my eyes went wide. "Raven's mother?"
"Sister?" Zelda shouted exactly as I had. "But, how?"
"There's no time for further explanation" Arella said with a shake of her head. "Come with me. I'll take you to the king."
At first I was confused as to why she'd need to lead us, but I got my answer quickly. I found that, unlike the game, there was much more to the tower. There were many doors and corridors, but there seemed to be a single path which would lead us to Ganondorf himself.
Along the way, however, we did have to fight a pair of Dinofos, a pair of Stalfos and finally, a pair of Iron Knuckles. None of the fights posed much of a threat as the Dinofos were taken out by icy energy from Zelda, the Stalfos by fire from Arella, and the Iron Knuckles by each other. If you really wanna know more about that fight, let's just say that I timed things just right such that they swung their axes horizontally at the same time.
The king's morticians better know how to reattach a stomach to a chest…

I stared transfixed as Overload was pummeled by literally gallons of water until it was nothing more than a single computer chip. As my beau seemed to have exhausted himself, I took it upon myself to scoop up the defeated villain and throw him in the containment pickle jar.
Suddenly however, I could hear my com beeping at me. I quickly whipped it out and noticed Aqualad doing the same. I stared in horror at what the message from Robin.

I could see Bee beginning to tire, and also succeeded in noticing just how full of stamina Cinderblock actually was.
"Bee!" I shouted, charging up my cannon. "Stay at his head!"
She nodded briefly, and focused her shocks at his face, which seemed to bother him slightly more than those to his body anyways.
I was finally charged, and had stored enough juice to fire off a few times if needed and shot. The blue energy collided with Cinderblock's torso, sending him reeling back. This combined by the unrelenting shocks from Bee caused him to fall and slam his head straight into the roof of a car.
I lowered my cannon as he wasn't moving any longer. "Guess his head ain't as hard as we all like to think" Bee called over to me, taking a closer look at him. "He's out cold!"
I opened my mouth to respond when my com went off. I opened it and saw Bee do the same with her own and would've dropped it, had it not been built into my arm.
"No…"

I shook my head and looked around me. The last thing I could remember was being knocked out by Captain Monologue's… well… monologue. The first thing I could see was Wildebeest beating the Boy Monotone into the dirt with Kole. The second was Gramma Hatchet, unconscious on the ground, her right hand clutching her chest. The third and final thing I noticed before standing up was Captain Monologue monologuing at Kid Flash who seemed on the verge of going down.
Seeing who the only variable was, I ran up to Kid Flash and could hear him muttering "Bored… so… bored…" to himself in a near toneless chant. I pulled a necklace from my pocket and waved it in front of his face.
His eyes were suddenly filled with life once more as he shouted "Shiny! Not bored anymore!"
With that, he began to rush around the boring villain at top speed, throwing a punch here or there just to keep him on his toes. I took the distraction to hurl a hex bolt at the ground under Captain Monologue's feet, which crumbled, causing him to slam his head against a rock and fall unconscious.
With the battle finally finished, we all gathered for a huddle. "So, when'd you get here?" I asked, raising my eyebrow at Kid Flash.
"'Bout three seconds after you went unconscious" he replied, grinning his trademark grin. I just rolled my eyes, but was cut off by my com going off.
Kole and Wildebeest's did the same. Kole and I checked ours, but needless to say, Wildebeest simply left it up to us to fill him in.
As I read over the message, I could feel the air leave my lungs shallowly. The two males looked questioningly at me, but I didn't need to answer.
"It's Robin" Kole muttered. "He needs backup."
With that, we began to trace his location.

Arella stood before a massive door with an equally as massive lock on it and turned to face us.
"Okay, this is the place" she said in an unquestionably serious tone. "Are you sure you're ready?"
As Zelda simply nodded, I replied "Definitely. Raven's been waiting long enough to go home."
Arella's serious attitude was interrupted briefly as she smiled softly at me before returning to her recent seriousness. "Good. Let's get this over with."

Star hurled me at Plasmus with all she had. I activated three exploding discs in my hand just as I was grabbed by one of his tentacles.
I allowed me to yank me towards him until I was nearly inside. With only inches to spare, and even fewer seconds, I jammed my hand in Plasmus' side and grinned as his form began to swell unnaturally. That is to say, unnaturally for even him.
It seemed to bulge, then shrink back in on itself before full out exploding, sending his slime all over the area. I landed gracefully on my feet and began to wipe off some of the slime.
"Oh how glorious!" Starfire shouted, flying over to me and catching me in an equally as slimy embrace.
She finally pulled away and we just looked into each other's eyes. She began to lean in towards me, and I did the same, closing my eyes.
My lips were less than an inch from hers when the sound of metal strikng something could be heard, followed by her scream. Then, her body was limp in my arms. I stared up in horror at my attacker.
"So we meet again Robin…"
A/N: Oh yeah! There you have it! The second-to-last chapter is finally up and we're just about done! That's right! For anybody who suspected Angela or the Seer of being Arella, you were all right! Though, I can bet that almost none of you thought that they were both Arella, am I right?
This chapter's submission today is only the header of a set of three major submissions and two minor submissions I've submitted today. I hope that you'll review to this along with all my other submissions for the day! But, more than anything, I hope you enjoy everything I've written for y'all!
Signed,
The Cheese!
