The Archduke, who stood as the representative for the Great Darkness and the people that were covered by the Great Darkness, would consider the offer of the finely dressed man and begin to logically contemplate and calculate the options that were available. "Hmmm..." After so long of thinking, with quite the challenging puzzle of thought locking him up as he thought to move, eventually the Archduke came to a rather promising conclusion for this man. "I think I'd like to have a tour," he said confidently. "Show me your wares and around your business, and I will consider taking your offer." When the man would lead, the Archduke would follow. "Final answer."

You decide, after everything that's happened and what You've learned about these Sins and this realm and its elements, that it is best to not try to take too many matters into Your own hands until You are in a safe zone and can resume Your normal life again.

You stay quiet, gazing at the eyes that are looking back at You, as if peering into Your soul. You can see what is going on outside and know that they cannot see You, however You are still terrified for some unknown reason. Probably, because of the striking accuracy in which at any given moment, things actually could become very real for You and Your life would be on the line. That part intimidates You, but You know better than to stop what You are doing. You end up walking through the darkness with the Archduke that was sent to be your Guide as your new leader, something like the Puppet King was to the Puppets. You continue to move chiefly and quietly, single file, no sudden movements and as carefully and composed as humanly possible without lagging for too long or loitering about idly, where something could expose Yourself or the group and get everyone killed or put them into danger. Each of You that were still alive learned a very valuable lesson about the group and the team effort. You do not stray from your instructions nor your path; you walk a straight and narrow path, right down the line as directed in an orderly fashion.

The man's devious grin widened, and he couldn't help but let out a restrained laugh he'd been holding back, seeming to be out of anticipation. "Just what I wanted to hear!" It was just his lucky day today that he'd happen to pass by someone so willing to help out his noble cause. "Step right into my office, Sir, and we'll discuss these matters further in more detail." The man snapped his fingers, and shreds of fine green paper spontaneously sparked from his fingertips, and each of the leafy greens would blow away in the wind. A trail was left behind as a line of corresponding events all funded by the same organization, which was this man, himself.

The well dressed man brushed off his suit and adjusted his shoulders and sleeves, then started off back across his high place, waiting for the investor to make his way to the location that was being arranged for them to meet. The Archduke would be escorted there promptly and with the utmost haste, but the regal man would depart go long ahead of him. There was nothing left to be done here.

A heavy sigh of relief at the release of tension in the area came from beyond the Great Darkness. "Finally," Tabitha said, her own Spider Eyes lining up in all their sight. "It's all a straight shot from here." Once she was able to see all the same paths at the same time, there was a higher probability of that outcome occurring because she'd been able to see the same route in multiple different viewpoints or vantage points and each of them ending up coming together all seamlessly at the end. Her Divine Pet of Sloth, 'The Slowth,' which was named as the new 'Sloth' in place of Tabitha, who was the original 'Sloth,' would take care of guidance and the Mechanica that were already infesting the area in their various forms, such as Puppets, were about if she should need to intervene due to the 'Slowth,' now 'Sloth' itself, moving too slowly. "I'm sure they won't need any help," she muttered monotonously to herself. "I'll guide you to where you need to go, but then I'm going home. I'm tired." She was always tired, much like her father, and she honestly didn't need to be here anymore now that she accomplished some personal things, and these people were a completely independent party that couldn't hold up the rest of the things she had going on for too long. Even as a spirit, she, too, still needed her rest, and she was also only volunteering her services to repay for some other debts and personal business involving the Tensei family and main branch of the Veritas. "I suppose I can tell him 'Mission Complete.'" Tabitha was pleased with herself and this outcome. "Mmm... Yeah..." She cherished the moment and many sentimental feelings emanated from her heart. She smiled softly, starting to nod off a bit.

"Night."

With the covering of her face in the dark pools that soon overtook it, and the light of the once gleaming white eye as well, The Great Darkness fell upon the land, which was the absence of Tabitha's Presence, which would be the fullness of the body of the Slowth. Kurogami Tabitha, The Great Darkness, would disappear, and the bright of day would become the dark of night.

The Pressure Of The Absence Of The Presence Rested Gravely Over The Entire Mountain, Pressing It Down Thoroughly. All Who Walked Through Could Feel It Over The Land, As The Depression Of 'Sloth,' Which Would Be The Bearing Eyes Of The 'Slowth' Boring Down Into The Flesh Of The Mountain As It Oversaw The Walkers.
