Scene: On Earth, in a London home during the early 1800s. Draco is around 20 and is in a cluttered room looking at magical swirling colored circles showing events on Canat that Damon related to him. Damon is sitting in the room with Draco.
Draco: I see, and then you came here.
Damon: Yes.
Draco: Looking into the circles But you already know how the judgment went, don't you? Since it's in the past.
Damon: Smiles but looks a bit sad Yes, of course, but inevitably it's still up to you. Laughs a bit And it's important to always live in the moment.
Draco: Frowns a bit as he rubs his head There are at least a few aspects of the judgment I can surmise from what I know about our future. He moves a chess piece on a nearby board For instance, I can guess that we’ll save the planet itself. The planet isn’t that old and still has sufficient resources for sustaining a growing population.
Damon: Coming over and moving another chess piece We've gotten rid of planets that were younger than Canat before. Don’t make your decision based on what you think has already happened, you must look at the situation objectively.
Draco: Moving another chess piece Yes, but the blueprint for Canat was a good one. Instead of creating a new planet with a new blueprint we can just reset Canat to its original form, how it was at the time of its creation.
Damon: Moves another piece as well What insurance do you have that the same things won’t repeat themselves if you make it the same planet as it was before? Might it be better to start from scratch in order to change the course of history? It’s your own bias that makes you think how it was at creation was good.
Draco: Picks one of the pieces up and touches it to his lips as he looks deep in thought Insurance…
Damon: I think we need to let the people of Digonu and Kintenoken prove themselves worthy of saving first. If not, then we should do away with the planet and start over.
Draco: Or we start over without their race… perhaps? The Tawpups are the ones that destroyed the planet, therefore, as long as we get rid of them then there will be some insurance in starting over.
Damon: Picks up a queen and a king piece and shows them to Draco Stasia and Arnwolf, they are the last hope for the people of Kintenoken and Digonu. If they choose to rise up then a few will be spared, but if not, then all the Tawpups should be extinguished forever.
Draco: Taking the pieces and smiles Minus Adelia and Sarosh, of course?
Damon: Smiles at that Of course, we need them for the Ring Spell to be complete.
Action: Draconia comes into the room.
Draconia: Looking embarrassed Oh! I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were here, Damon. Are you going to stay for dinner?
Damon: Smiles politely and waves her off No, thank you, Draconia. I just came to chat with Draco for a bit, but I think we’re done now.
Draco: Yes, I think I have everything I need.
Draconia: Smiling back Please say hello to your spouses for me!
Damon: Of course, I’ll tell Lyall, Tasha, Claire, Nadia, Jared, Adelia, and Sarosh you said hi.
Draconia: Looking embarrassed by that So many…
Damon: Laughs Yes, but I love them all. Says as he disappears Take care, Draconia! Don’t worry too much, Draco, everything will be fine~!
Action: Draco waves his hand through the circles in the air, making them disappear.
Draco: Tidying up a bit I told you and Troy that you can eat without me. Food does me no good anyway because of Rajani’s curse.
Draconia: I know that! I just said that because Damon was here. Shows Draco a newspaper Look at this article, it’s suspicious, isn’t it?
Draco: Takes the paper and looks at it Three murders... pretty close to here too…
Draconia: Looking excited Look at the description of the wound! It sounds like a demon, doesn’t it?
Draco: Still looking at it I suppose… There’s no real reason for us to get involved though, is there? These kinds of things tend to sort themselves out.
Draconia: Looking upset People are dying, Draco! What better reason do you need than that?
Draco: That’s actually a complicated matter when you factor in mass karma and individual karma…
Draconia: Looking annoyed by that Troy and I are going to go investigate with or without you, so are you going to come with us or not?
Draco: Rubs his head and pouts I guess I’ll go with you...
Draconia: Looking happy at that and shows him her neck Here, make sure to drink some blood before you go. I don’t want you passing out again.
Draco: Looks uncomfortable with that and sighs before biting into her neck All right...
Action: Troy walks in looking like he’s ready to go kill some demons.
Troy: Oh good, Draco is coming with us.
Draco: Looks up and wipes his mouth Just don’t get bystanders involved again, understand?
Draconia: That wasn’t our fault, the demon was the one that grabbed her!
Troy: Throws Draco his crossbow and smirks Make sure to kill them faster if you don’t want things like that to happen.
Draco: Preps his crossbow and mumbles to himself You were the one that missed…
Scene: Draco, Draconia, and Troy are on the streets of London at night, hiding behind a dark corner and on the lookout. Draconia and Troy seem more invested in the endeavor than Draco who's sitting on a box a bit away from them reading more of the paper.
Draconia: Whispering I think I saw a shadow go by.
Troy: It may have just been the light.
Action: A portal opens up near Draco and Gunther comes out, looking a bit older than when we last saw him.
Gunther: I've come to bring you back to Canat, Draco, now that I've done what you've asked of me.
Draco: Putting his paper down and getting up cheerfully Gunther! We finally meet in this life~! hugs him Damon told me about you, but I've been looking forward to meeting you myself~!
Gunther: Warmly hugs him back It is good to see you. Smiles at him We can finally put an end to the atrocities on Canat.
Draconia: Draco, who's this man? A friend of yours?
Draco: Yes, a very important friend. This is Gunther
Gunther: Formerly, I've changed my name to Sarosh.
Draco: As part of your religion?
Sarosh: Yes, changing one's name is like changing one's identity and starting a new life. I wanted to set an example for the others that they should cast away their old life in Digonu and start fresh.
Draco: Says teasingly Now you officially have the name you have once we're married. We're one step closer to marital bliss.
Sarosh: Looks like he's done with life … Yes… joy.
Troy: Looking annoyed We're kind of in the middle of something right now, Draco. If you're going to talk to your friend can you do it somewhere else?
Draco: Ah, actually, I'll be leaving for a while to decide the fate of my birth planet, but I'm sure you two can manage this alone.
Draconia: Looking surprised Oh, you're doing that now?
Troy: Good, I'm sick of hearing him talk about it.
Draconia: Smiles at Draco and waves farewell to him Make sure to judge them fairly.
Draco: Laughs awkwardly I'll try… Holds up his crossbow I'm leaving this with you… Looks annoyed They're already back to waiting for the demon… Heading toward the portal Come on Sarosh, let's go.
Action: Sarosh and Draco go through the portal together and are at Sarosh's church on Digonu. The portal closes behind them.
Draco: Looking around the church Is this the church you've made, Sarosh?
Sarosh: Yes, the government gave us this building but we've tried to make it more appropriate for what it represents.
Draco: Starting to walk ahead You should give me a tour.
Sarosh: First let's break the curse on you. You can't perform the judgment with your powers so limited.
Draco: Looks like he just connected that Oh, right! How should we break it?
Sarosh: The nature of your curse is that you have to drink blood in order to replenish your energy, isn't it?
Draco: Yes…
Sarosh: Holds his collar down to expose his neck to Draco I will send my energy to you through my blood. My energy can destroy all things, even curses.
Draco: Hesitates Will it kill this physical form as well?
Sarosh: Smirks As if my energy could ever kill a form of my other self.
Draco: Laughs a bit That's true.
Action: Draco bites into Sarosh's neck, drinking his blood. A blast of light comes out of Draco, releasing his unlimited energy, and Draco has to step away from Sarosh.
Draco: Being engulfed in light and looking at his hands My unlimited energy has been released in this body once more. Clutches his chest and falls to his knees Although it's a bit much for this mortal form to handle so suddenly.
Action: Elias comes walking up to them.
Elias: Sarosh, you're back already?
Sarosh: Elias, bring us some water.
Draco: Gets up using Sarosh for an anchor and motions Elias to stop It's fine, I'm already feeling better.
Sarosh: Frowns at him You're lying.
Draco: Smiles awkwardly back I’m not, I promise. Stands up by himself a bit wobbly Come on, show me the church you’ve made for the people of Digonu.
Elias: Looking excited Are you a new recruit?
Sarosh: No, Elias, he's the one who instructed me to make a church in the first place.
Elias: Looking confused I thought you said that purple wizard told you to?
Sarosh: Sighs They're the same person, except he's in a body from this planet now.
Elias: Looking more confused He doesn't look like us though?
Sarosh: Draco, take off your necklace. Having a human appearance is pointless here.
Draco: Taking the necklace off I suppose that's true.
Action: As soon as Draco takes the necklace off he returns to his true form.
Elias: Sounding shocked One of the Aderyst people! But I thought they were all gone?
Draco: Smiles sadly I am the last one… Looks serious Because of the crimes your people have committed towards the Aderyst race they have merited being wiped out by one of them.
Elias: Wiped… out… Remembers the prophecy and gasps You're Nityasya, from the prophecy, aren't you?
Draco: Yes.
Sarosh: Grabs Draco's arm and pulls him away while seeming annoyed Stop scaring my uncle and let's look at the church you had me make.
Draco: I wasn’t trying to scare him.
