[Liora woke from her sleep at the dream docks, completely in a state of shock. She couldn't say she regretted making that move, but she was very, very shaken at what she saw back home. Still, she'd better announce her return. However, when she does, her device is very shaky in her talons.]

I'm...I'm back...

[That's all she manages to say before she quickly switches off the feed, not wanting the whole world to see her break down.]

Action: Fayren

[Liora lands at the edge of the town of Fayren, too exhausted to fly too far. This isn't the ideal place to break down, but she can't control her tears any longer. She walks slowly and blindly on her tiny legs, memories of the events back home all too fresh in her mind...]

( Cut for introspection )

[If anyone is passing the little dragon as she's sobbing her eyes out, they might hear whispers of, "It's all my fault..." After crossing through the main town, she'll wander into the forest, where she'll pick a random tree and continue weeping in solitude.]

Action: Genessia City Shrine

[Liora remembered the shrine that Ayame had led her to that one night. She believed it would become one of her favorite places, and so she decides to come here and hopefully try to relax. However, when she saw the fireflies, she remembered what Ayame had told her about them – that it was believed that the fireflies were the souls of the fallen. At that moment, all Liora could see were her clan mates, tiny ghosts drifting about in specks of light. Qubine, the clan leader, and his mate Shayla. Handel, the Fae dragon who had fallen for Liora; his brother Aether, and their other Passage partner Lazarus. Amadeus, a fellow Light dragon, wise and powerful. Reiko, Kitty, and Brenna, who had initially rescued Liora from the Beastclans. And Azalea, whom Liora heard had been in Genessia before. All of them, and the others, whom Liora may never see again. Instead of finding comfort in these fireflies, Liora's heart broke even more, and she began to weep once again.]

It's all my fault...

[It had been some time since Liora had first arrived, and she hasn't accomplished anything that she had wanted to. She hasn't found Cane or Snowy, whom she was with back home prior to awakening in the Bay. She also hasn't found Azalea, whom others have told her that they knew.]

[These little devices were convenient, though. As nervous as she was to use it, Liora figured this would be the quickest way to find out what she needed to know. Even if her friends weren't in this world, at least it would put her search to rest, despite the disappointment.]

Hello...Genessia? Um...my name is Liora. I'm looking for two more dragons, named Cane and Snowy. They're both white...although Snowy has a bluish tint. Cane's wings are a crystallized red, and Snowy's wings are teal. They were with me before I woke up here...so I don't know what happened to them...

I've also had several people tell me that Azalea was here, but I haven't been able to find her either. Has she really disappeared...?

[Her last inquiry takes a somewhat more serious tone.]

And lastly...does anyone know of a dark dragon named Erebus? If so, then...just stay away from him. He...he'll be after me. If he's not here, then...there's nothing to worry about.

[Except she will continue to worry about what Erebus may be doing back home. Has he done something to Cane and Snowy? Have they been captured? Or worse, killed?]


[Action in Fayren]

[Liora had found Fayren to be closest to the world she was used to. So she can be found there, trying to practice her magic. She hovers in the air in an open field, moving her wings to keep her airborne. She gathers her energy, forming a yellow glow of soothing light around her. But she seems to be doing something more, as she concentrates hard, straining her muscles in an attempt to control her power. But she could not accomplish anything more than this radiant glow which lit up the area and warmed everything within range, like the soothing sunlight.]
