The White Star Chronicles XII-2:The Queen's Counsel

As the bell tower continued it's melancholy chime, Nina stayed stationary at the top the watchtower, the vicious breeze pullling at her hblonde hair. As she gave up calling the Wyrm and open her eyes, she found herself in the same limbo Gale had been brought to, the utter greyness with the small ciruclar stone in the middle of nowhere. She still didn't move. She had been to this place numerous times. She glowered inot the nothingness, seemingly irate.

"You wished to convene with me?"

"Yes."

"About what? There is nothing to discuss."

"Don't you DARE ignore me,Gurētosutōmu!"

"Don't raise your voice to me, girl! You know full well that this is written, and it MUST happen! All of them MUST die, including you, Nina! As a seeress, you must know this already, musn't you?"

"Yes, but...I wanted to save him. Somehow. His power protected his village. They need a hero like that, and if at least one of us does not survive, then...who will remember us? We will be forgotten in the pages of history."

"That is untrue, Nina."

"Oh?"

"Gale Kaze will tell our tale."

"Only if she survives."

"She will survive, Nina. You no idea thetrials, she and her friends faced to get here, to be here for this fight agaist destruction. So many...all lost...only the Five remain, as was foreseen, by you yourself. Do not deny what you know to be written in stone. It will only cause more pain."

A long pause followed.

"You too must fight the White Star, you too must play a part in the battle that is to come. the only thing that stands in the way of that Wyrm and the rest of humanity is this city. And if Hikari falls, the White Star will gather all the souls of the dead and gain immortality, rding the Maelstrom to the ends of the earth, making it fit for our cursed return. As the descendant of the WYrm of light herself, you satnd more of a chance against him than any other. Your fate is still sealed, but at least you can die for a good cause! Don't turn your back on your humanity. Your are not a Wyrm. You are not Him."
