>>5711170Frustrated and with only 2 weeks left for it to be a full week on the outside (the inner workings of the time flow are still leaving you pretty confused). Seeing how down on your luck you were, the ever-loving finds a way to bring you out of your slump by flying with you on her magical broomstick, showing that both her and Schierke were also not slacking off on their training, taking you up to the sky and floating along the shore to gaze into the sunset.
"Seems like you've finally turned into a witch now, clothes and all."
"You make it seem like I've made a transformation... It's just a change to lighter clothes."
"Your metamorphosis is the one constant change that I'm always happy to keep up with."
"You should have seen how scared Schierke was of flying at first. Morda had to hold her the entire time and tell her to keep her eyes closed. Weird that she's afraid of heights when we've flown with our luminous bodies before."
"Souls can't really take fall damage, right? I'd say that's more than understandable." You chuckle after seeing the little witch catch up with other magicians her age, finally making the friends she wasn't able to have on her tree mansion.
As she leans on you to take a rest, you offer her a piece of bread, which falls down and lands on a familiar horse's mouth.
Gunpowder watches you and the witches above him, seeing Hyde and Violet even getting in on the action and teaching them how to do the air tricks he used when dodging arrows.
Despite wishing to retire, part of him still feels like he has something to prove, even where he should be resting. Much like the kids and the elves, they are better off living a life in peace, and though they might wish to stay fighting on your side, it's better for them to live away from you, than vouch for a bloodbath they cannot return alive from.
>How about one last race, old pal? You and me vs these witches!>Farnese, mind if I try using this broomstick? I wanna see if GP can keep up with me.>Sorry old pal, but I think you're better off staying retired.
