Second trial

[letsplayamod]

The time has come once again. Gather in the arena, it is time for judgement.

[The murky weather outside reflects the mood of the walk out to the cliffs. Once again, several soldiers have stepped free of Typhon's veins to stand guard over the arena. Maybe it's a mistake, but they seem to offer their silent condolence, if not their indifference.

With everyone gathered, a great rift opens once more outside the barrier. Typhon reveals himself, this time only from the waist up. Peering down from his glowing portal, blanketed in the last light drizzles outside your shimmering dome.]

Bah... So safe and secure within your bubble. Or, perhaps not anymore. [He moves to rest a palm on the barrier, and recoils as it once again stings his palm.] See what your Athena has 'gifted' you - nothing but strife. A broken world that needs rebuilding... But no matter. I will complete that task once we are through.

You have your evidence. Now, begin.

[Tears sting at her eyes, and she holds the charms close to her chest.]

...Aoi will take good care of it.

...Thanks, Aoi.

[There's a pause. She reaches out and pats Aoi's hair awkwardly. It's a small, tender moment that is shattered as Typhon announces the verdict.

The final goodbye is shattered by the monstrous hand that drags Wendy down.]

[It's all so fast, that all Aoi can do is stare as Wendy is yanked away right in front of her. She doesn't move for what feels like forever. She just stands like a statue still holding the bracelet charms to her chest.

Tears run down her face. This time she knows what kind they are.]
