Are you really going to jump into the dark hole?
You jump into the dark hole and land on the ground and see Auroara floating ahead of you down a hallway toward a <span class="mu-r">glowing light</span>! When you get closer you see a huge crystal pointing down from the ceiling into the room. It looks like the bottom of the huge crystal above you, doesn't it?
When you look around the room you see <span class="mu-r">a ring of chairs</span>. What? You think they look like the chairs Auroara and Rori were sitting in when you found them? These chairs really do look a lot like those chairs!
"I wonder if these still work." Auroara crouches down next to one of the chairs. It seems like she thinks the same thing you do! Auroara stands up and looks at you. "Only one way to find out."
Auroara sits down on the chair and suddenly closes her eyes! It looks like she's sleeping!
[SFX: slithering noise]
What? You just heard <span class="mu-r">something slithering</span> in the shadows? You had better do something right away! You grab Auroara and...
What? The room looks different than it did a moment ago? It seems like it's a lot cleaner all of a sudden! When you look around, you see <span class="mu-r">Auroara's sisters</span> sitting in the other chairs! You don't know how it happened, but Aura, Prima, and Rori are all here with you and Auroara!
What? You just noticed the <span class="mu-r">human man</span>? The human man looks at Aura and Prima and says "The Auraprimas will maintain a scouting formation." He nods at Rori and then looks at Aura and Prima again. "Rori will follow at a distance. Begin your assignment immediately."
Aura, Prima, and Rori all say "Yes, Overseer," and then they float out of their chairs and then float out of the room. Auroara and the human man watch them leave and then Auroara looks at the ground and the human man looks at the doorway.
"Auroara, you and I are at different levels within our hierarchy."
"Yes, Kinsen. You are human."
"More importantly, I am the Overseer assigned to you. And your sisters."
"I am glad you're my Overseer."
"Why?"
Auroara looks up at the wall and then glances at the floor again. "Your... your strategies are always the most optimal."
"Do you really believe that?"
"Of course."
"Would you follow my order without question?"
Auroara tilts her head down. "Yes, Kinsen. I am your Auroara."
"And I am your Overseer."
Aurora opens her mouth and then closes it again and looks at the other wall. "It is a different level of our hierarchy."
"I am glad you understand this."
"Yes, Overseer."
"I've requested a reassignment to Tower Seven. I will no longer be your Overseer. This will be the last time we speak."
"A... a reassignment?"
"Do you still believe my strategies are most optimal?"
"I... yes, Overseer."
"That makes me glad."
"Overseer?"
"Yes?"
"Why did you wait until the others left to say this?"
"Because you are my Auroara."
"Kinsen..."
"Yes."
