II [Video; open to both courts]
[The video feed on the amulet shows Zelos sitting crosslegged on his bed. The room looks to be a rather comfortable room that's given to people of nobility in the Seelie court. Though other than what looks like a small vase of purple flowers on the nightstand, there's not much in the way of personal touches.]
Well what do you know, I've been here almost a month now! Which is a lot longer than I'd like, buuuut from the sounds of how long people get stuck in this place - I probably shouldn't complain too much.
[Though always going to complain some.]
Anyway! Since it seems pretty normal to ask questions on these locket - I thought I'd might as well throw in a few of my own again if there's any kind souls willing to answer! I mean, I always prefer to hear it from a lovely female voice, but don't worry- I can settle. ♥
[He clears his throat. For each number, he makes counts them off on his hand]
And... [He taps his chin] I think that's it! Huh! I thought there would've been more! Oh well!

1. Just what exactly were those shadowy blob guys? I mean, other than the name I can't say. Any idea just where they came from? Are they like a normal thing in this place? Because seriously, talk about annoying and creepy.
2. Is there anyone who can tell me more about the Shards? Yeah, I already know they're crystals inside us that the courts want to collect- but why? What are they made of? How'd did they get into us? Honestly...any information would be of use.
3. Does anyone know where I can get more hair ties or supplies? Because I'm down to my last tie, and that's a serious problem!
And... [He taps his chin] I think that's it! Huh! I thought there would've been more! Oh well!
HERE U GO U BUTT
[She rolls her eyes when it comes to the zombies, because yeah, that totally sounds so much better, Zelos.]
Here's hoping someone manages to find a way to stop them, permanently.
[Oh, but then he asks a pretty good question.]
Actually, I'm not the only one who has that title, since it's something you get when you graduate. [Even if canon might say otherwise.] Many fairies from my planet would, since it's a nature realm, and it's not even the only place in universe where you can find nature fairies, anyway. I'm not even the most powerful--the Major Fairies are another story. Their control over their aspects is remarkably strong, absolute even.
YAY /BOOMERANGS
[What is ever giving a helpful answer]
Yeah, no kidding. That forest really isn't fun to go through.
[Though he doubts that's gonna happen anytime soon.]
Hmmm, so you're actually more "A" Fairy of Nature instead of "The". Okay, I think I'm getting it. And so those Major Fairies are a bit like Spirits, right? I mean, in terms of power?
no subject
[Something Zelos never does obviously!!!]
They could be, I haven't seen a Spirit for myself so I can't say, but when things between my friends and them were a little, um, rocky, I couldn't overcome The Major Fairy of Nature's magic. It was immense. [She ponders.] And a drop of magic from something The Major Fairy of the North has could freeze the entire universe.
no subject
[Exactly!]
Whoa, seriously!? [That's insane!] Why would she keep something like that around?
no subject
[B(]
Seriously. [She also threatened to break it one time, but it's water under the bridge.
Flora raises her hands helplessly like she can understand the danger, but at the same time, them's the breaks and it's not THAT big a deal.] It's the source of her magic, so she sort of has to.
no subject
[Because I'm sure that makes sense]
That...sounds like a pain. I hope she has it in a well made container then.
no subject
[She'll get the truth out of you yet, bro!!]
I don't know if she normally keeps it contained. [In the truest sense of the word: she doesn't. Aurora got to it before they could, but Diana didn't, even if it was a little hard to find.
and yet NOT HARD ENOUGH BECAUSE THIS SHOW IS STUPIDShe probably does. Maybe. It's safe, anyway. It's not something you can even handle if you have no right to it.]no subject
[I hope you are prepared for the truth being CRAZY]
Oh...well... [that's worrying!] If you're sure it's safe, then I'll believe ya!
no subject
Wait, pardon me? You merged them I've never heard of such a thing!
[And she's heard of a LOT of magical things, but this kind of takes the cake.
And the plate.
And the silverware.]
no subject
I mean, alright- it was mostly Lloyd's doing. But the rest of us helped out.
no subject
[Okay, she hasn't forgotten the Chosen One thing, not there's really anything there to forget but this is interesting too and maybe she'll get lucky and he'll explain it.]
How does this even happen?
no subject
No, they definitely don't do that often. It was a very big deal for us too.
How though is a...long story. You sure you wanna hear it?
no subject
But it becomes a real smile, soft and gentle.]
Worlds themselves mean a great deal to me, as you can imagine--to all fairies where I come from, actually--so I would love to hear it, but only if you're up to telling it.
no subject
[He gives a shrug] I don't mind.
[He knows how to edit out the parts that he doesn't want to talk about :x ]
Anyway, remember how I said mana was the source of all life and magic in my world?
no subject
But Flora nods, and while she doesn't jump to conclusions, she can't help but wonder. Maybe something serious happened?]
Yes, I remember. [Her lips quirk, like she wants to say something further, but maybe she should just let Zelos tell his story.
But he could also want her to think about things, if for no other reason than it meaning that he'd end up having to talk less as a result.
Maybe that's not at all the case, though. And it seems she's going to speak after all.]
...Something didn't compromise it, did it?
no subject
[But he raaather not get into too much detail about the Ancient Kharlan War, so he just goes into the explanation]
Mana's great, but there's a limited amount. And whenever mana levels drained enough that the world fell into decline, a Chosen would be sent out on a journey to regenerate that lost mana and bring in a new age of prosperity. And that system went on for millennia.
But little did those past Chosens know, that the mana they brought in to save their world? Wasn't fresh mana that just came out of nowhere - instead it came from another world that was connected to theirs- that had the exact same problem.
Think...like an hourglass. When one world was increasing in mana levels, the other was losing it. All the Journey of Regeneration really did was flip over that hourglass and changed the flow.
Following me so far?
no subject
How terrible...but it does make sense. [A lot, potentially in more ways than one.]
no subject
[To say the least. And that's not even getting into the genocide part of this nightmare]
But then Lloyd came along. He found out about the whole hourglass problem, and felt it wasn't right that the worlds had to compete for mana. And so, being stubborn idiot he is, he searched for another way - and dragged the rest of us along for the ride.
Eventually a seed of a tree that could make mana was found. So Lloyd used the power of Origin, the King of the Summon Spirits, to reunite the two worlds and germinate the seed. And as long as that tree lives, the mana problem's taken care of - for both Sylvarant and Tethe'alla.
no subject
[Her shoulders actually sag with relief a little before she clasps her hands.
Also heck yes, trees solve all problems.]
Um, can anything happen to the tree, though? Are there extra seeds?
[She's the nature fairy she's gotta ask.]
no subject
[He shakes his head]
There's no extra seeds, and there's still that can go wrong. But we're doing everything we can to make sure that doesn't happen. That's partly why I need to get home.
[You know, to stop goddamn wars and mana cannons and stuff]
no subject
to rule them allis something she can relate to, among other things. It actually makes her a little anxious, though all she does is calmly fold her hands.]I understand. [A lot of them really need to get back home.] And actually a tree is actually the source of all magic where I come from, too.
[The commonality is something that, under regular circumstances, might have been cause for delight, but she only regards what he has to say with solemn consideration--which may be telling in and of itself. But Flora knows that for all that the Tree of Life gifts power, it is so very fragile, so susceptible to interference.
She only knows what he tells her, but it's obvious that fusing worlds is no small thing, and she doesn't want to see their efforts suffer because of a blight or an attack or something else on their new chance.]
I really hope it's something that won't wither or something indestructible. Maybe it'll sprout new seeds, sometime; if someone found one, it had to have come from somewhere, right? Unless I'm missing something. Is there much known about it?
no subject
[Giant...magic granting family tree of...trees. Who knows, really]
We know some stuff. The seed actually came from the last World Tree, which died in an ancient war that caused the world to be split in two in the first place. So yeah, it can make seeds.
But...I get the feeling that's not gonna happen in a human's lifespan.
