"Miriam!"
I ran forward, sobbing.
"Not again... not for the third time... Why can't I save you?!"
"You can... and you are..."
Her data glitched again.
"There is a prophecy against you... A prophecy that will determine our fight, just like the 'Epitaph of Twilight."
She faded, through my fingers and into the data surronding us.
"A prophecy..."
Zelkova tugged on my arm.
"Miriam told me the piece that she knew."
"What is it?!" I turned to him.
"Once the Chaos hits, the Epitaphs must stand together,
even the one who had fallen once before.
"The one who had fallen?"
Kuhn jolted back and asked, "Could it be reffering to Ovan?"
"You mean the one who had Corbenik before me?" I thought about it. "But... that can't be possible, can it?"
Kuhn laughed a little and shook his head.
"What?"
"Who are we to judge what is possible and what isn't?"
"Right... but I mean... is Kal's data just an editted Corbenik's?
Before he could answer, the new e-mail icon flashed above my head.
"Hey, I'm really confused here."
I turned to Matsu. "What do you mean?"
"I've heard the end of that before, along with some other stuff."
"Like?!"
I ran over to Matsu.
"I'm not sure... It said something like, The fate of the world depends on all, and alone, the Epitaphs will fall..."
The E-mail icon flashed again.
"Damn." I wanted to hear more, but this could be important. "I gotta go, talk to you later."
I tried to run to the gate, but Kuhn grabbed my wrist and twisted me around so that I was face to face with him.
"Don't forget, you've got people to help you this time."
He kissed me quickly, just long enough to make my real world self blush, and then left the
area. I followed after, and then logged out.
The e-mail that was waiting for me was Bo, strangely enough.
Miss Kaden.
I need to talk to you about something important. Saku and I will be waiting at Theta Hidden Forbidden Hades.
Gah, enough with the Miss crap.
The second e-mail was from Alkaid.
Kaden,
Great match! How's Kuhn?! Oh, I'm getting ahead of myself... or behind. Anyways, I think you should hear this. Your sister, Ella, sent me an e-mail. I'll forward it to you in a little bit, but I have a club meeting today so I can't.
See ya later!
I was about to click out of the message box, when I remembered Atoli's e-mail.
I... I was supposed to send this to Ella but... no I won't talk about that... See, while I was in the Lugh with the others, I heard someone singing. These are the words I remember:
You may think that I am powerless,
but the truth is, it's all inside.
You may have that creature backing you,
but I have my heart to fight for me.
Does it sound familiar?
"Miriam..."
I logged in and headed for Dol Dona.
