• He attempted to join a thieves guild, and they rejected him for being gay
• They continue on to the capital

• Soap sends Ziggy to look at what all the commotion’s about, and for pudding
• Ziggy and Rosaria meet briefly
• Seiya and Xanthe sign up
• Rosaria signs up and Darius goes into the crowd to cheer her on
• Ziggy reports back to Soap at the healers
• Soap, nervous about his vision, insists they go see the king
• Tournament begins, Helena is referee
• There has been a new rule, very recently added: one can win by killing their opponent
• This is unnatural, and is reflected in the confusion of the fighters and spectators
• Some forfeit, but most carry on
• There are five or six black-robed figures who take particular joy in the killing rule
• Tournament is separated by number matching, 1-64
• Players move up in the tier
• Rosaria and Seraph battle, Rosaria loses, Seraph takes her to the healing tent
• Aya makes an appearance in the healing tent
• Tournament continues, Dom and Ki’Ke are moving up, but are also defeated (by forfeit)

• The final fight is Seiya vs. Xanthe, and Xanthe forfeits, making Seiya the winner
• Seiya and Xanthe are invited into the castle by Helena
• Aya invites Rosaria and Seraph into the castle
• Through all of this, Ziggy and Soap have used the lax in guards to sneak into the castle
• They make it past the first few floors (Ziggy attacking a solid gold door in thief’s lust)
• They are captured by the prince, Vaughn, and nearly beheaded on the spot
• The king calls them out onto the balcony, where he watches the tournament
• Vaughn leaves
• The king introduces himself and Soap tells him of his vision
• King Seth expresses that Cyrene (his wife) and Karin had similar visions
• Seth sends Soap to his wife’s chambers and gives Ziggy a gold pendant to hold for him
• Seth also asks Ziggy to spy on the group in black and see what they’re up to
• Soap waits by the queen’s chambers politely, and a man in black goes in and comes out again
• Soap goes in to see the queen has been murdered, and rushes back to the king
• Ziggy threads through the spectators who hang around and chat, listening to the people in black
• A black-clad man emerges from the castle and gives a signal, and the others slip into the city
• Ziggy tries to report this to the king, but is intercepted by Aya, who mistakes him for a thief
• As Ziggy explains to Aya about her father’s request, Soap’s cry of murder pulls them back inside
• Present: Seraph, Seiya, Xanthe, Vaughn, Aya, Karin, Helena, Ziggy, Soap, Rosaria
• Helena orders Gabriel and the other two advisors about the intruders
• Helena tells Aya she must flee, and temporarily asks the rag-tag group to escort her out
• Helena will take Karin in a different direction to split their pursuers
• Dom and Ki’Ke come in, Dom badly wounded with an encounter with a Rune Waker
• Aya cures him and Ziggy gives her the pendant (a little upset at her demand and threat)
• Seraph holds back to find Vaughn, who is on the landing upstairs
• She goes to inform him of the situation and ask him to leave with them, when he captures her
• Vaughn holds her hostage, and explains that the Rune Wakers are under his command
• His goal is to overthrow the kingdom and claim the Edena Pendant (the one Ziggy gave to Aya)
• Seiya and Xanthe free Seraph and drag her out with Aya, who’s insisting she go help her father
• They flee to the border of the city, when a terrible white light engulfs the kingdom
• Aya throws up a protective barrier that saps all her strength, with the pendant’s help
• When the light fades, Edena has turned into a ruined city and nothing remains
• Aya mourns, for her father gave his life to cast this obliteration spell
• After collecting themselves and trading information, Seiya and Xanthe lead them to their village
• They collect themselves at Seiya’s house, while Xanthe takes Aya to petition the Hokage for help
• The group encounters Ryu (Soap, pudding) and Caleb (Rosaria, scrolls) and Kerren (Ziggy, sex)
• Aya goes missing as the day passes, and the city meeting is about to take place
• The group retraces her steps and finds her in an abandoned shack, unconscious
• When she wakes, she explains a few ninjas who are against the royal family tried to attack her
• Those two ninja are put to death, and the Hokage states that all will support Aya in her quest
• Aya wishes to travel to their neighboring kingdom of Prothis to see if they have been attacked
• They are escorted to the lake, and travel across to Ziggy’s hometown
• The group stumbles upon Darken, half-dead and frazzled; he attacks them and faints
• They take him and Kiske inside, to Ziggy’s mother’s house, where they’re all introduced
• Aya tends to the fallen Darken while the others discuss the safest route to Prothis
• Her hand on his head gives Darken a vision of her kingdom being eradicated
• He wakes, and tells them to help him help Harlan, who is back in Prothis
• That night, Aya tries to intentionally wake the power of the pendant, but fails
• The group reforms, regroups, and sets off to Prothis, with Darken and Kiske
• They reach the Prothis border; the whole countryside is crawling with black-clad figures
• Darken leads them through the swamps to the servant’s entrance of the castle
• They sneak inside the castle, where they see Harlan enter the throne room and follow
• They confront Harlan and Vaughn in the throne room, and Vincent makes an appearance
• He reveals the existence of the Rune Wakers, and how Harlan and Vaughn are his puppets
• He commands Harlan and Vaughn to capture Aya’s pendant
• Reid throws himself suddenly into the fray, showing them a hidden passage behind the throne
• Vincent commands Vaughn to kill Reid, which he does as they’re escaping
• Reid stammers that his brother Nero is at the Moonflow temple
• Darken and Seraph must be dragged away to save Nero
• The company travels to Moonflow Temple, where Soap reunites with his sisters and sees Sakura
• Nero clings to Darken, but will occasionally speak to Aya
• He also possesses his mother’s journal, where a page with weapon names has been marked
• Aya and Darken share their feelings, much to the amusement of the others
• As Sakura discusses whether to keep Nero here or let him go, Seraph and the kids find Lithan
• He follows them, regardless of what they say to him, saying simply that they interest him
• The group is uncomfortable with Litan following, and discuss such on the way to Ichigo Temple
• They decide to grab Karin from Ichigo Temple and keep both children under Aya’s supervision
• This will also remove the threat of being attacked from the holy temples (temple compromise)
• They pass by Rosaria’s hometown, but she refuses to stop by
• They decide to return to the ninja village to decide on their next course of action as they pass it
• When they reach the temple, they find it under heavy attack by the Rune Wakers
• Reacting quickly, the group charges into the fray, running into Alex (recruited by Helena)
• While the Rune Wakers are driven back, Aya rushes with Nero to find Karin
• Karin—holding her mother’s journal—wails and cries that a dark god will descend upon them
• Outside, the summoned dark goddess Corana looms over the battlefield (summoned by Harlan)
• Aya and party try to counterattack the summon, and Lithan’s true identity is revealed
• He steals an artifact from the temple and flees to Vincent’s side
• Lithan is Vincent’s second-in-command, who leads the Rune Wakers, and was spying on them
• Lithan is chased out of the group and Aya’s fear and stress summon the light god Remiel
• The Rune Wakers retreat and everyone collects themselves
• Alex grants them audience with the temple priest, (forgot name)
• He tells them the legend of Remiel and Corana
• Remiel created Edena and the elements of Fire and Air
• Corana created Prothis and the elements Water and Earth
• Remiel craved control over both worlds, and went to war with Corana
• They fought over many realms, their battles creating the world’s “natural disasters”
• The ancient race of the (forgot—for the moment, the Shiekah) stood against Remiel with Corana
• Remiel attacked their village and killed every single one of them
• Corana sealed Remiel away in a pendant, and, to keep the balance, sealed herself as well
• Corana reincarnated herself into a wolf to safeguard the race’s last child—Darken (unknown)
• Armed with this knowledge, they assume Vincent is after both pendants to control both worlds
• How can they counterattack him with Harlan’s pendant and the princes as hostages?
• Awaken the four lesser gods and borrow their powers? The group returns to the ninja village
• The hokage tells them that their village has safeguarded the Earth Weapon for some time
• Apparently, the two queens had the foresight to hide the items from the oncoming threat
• Nero and Karin have the locations and the weapons in the journals, hidden with lines of prose
• Search for the weapons?
• The Earth Weapon is a given—bladed gauntlets
• There is a sword in the ruins of Edena Castle, and a Scepter in the Prothis Castle
• The Air Weapon is a set of scrolls in Ichigo (that were stolen by Lithan—unknown)
• The Fire Weapon is an axe in the Konoha Desert in Prothis
• The Water Weapon is a bow in the mountains of Prothis
• The first riddles they figure out are Fire and Water, so to Prothis they travel
• Aya, Darken, and the children stay behind to piece out more of the puzzle
• The rest split at the fork in the river, half going north (Water) and half south (Fire)
• Ki’Ke, Ziggy, Soap, and Rosaria go to the Water Temple
• Seraph, Dom, Seiya, and Xanthe go to the Fire Temple
• After retrieving the weapons, they head to Ziggy’s hometown, where they agreed to meet
• Meanwhile, Aya concluded that there was a weapon in the Edena Ruins and the Ichigo temple
• The treasure at the temple is missing—was it Lithan?
• They go to the ruins, and deep inside, find the Sword of Ages—Remiel’s sword
• During this time, Darken gives Nero a protective ring, so he and Karin will be safe
• They learn that the sword is not at full power, and must be activated at Remiel’s temple (north)
• They also return to Ziggy’s hometown
• Upon their arrival, the two groups meet and decide to crash at Ziggy’s until they are ready
• Ziggy’s house has been torn upside-down and the children are missing
• His mother has been murdered in a similar fashion to the queen
• Ollie returns, telling Ziggy the children have been abducted by the Rune Wakers
• Ollie turns out to be a spy, a double-agent at his bar that is trying to uproot the Rune Wakers
• His identity slipped, making him a target, so he blames himself
• Ziggy blames himself, so nothing gets done for a moment or so
• Dom quickly asserts that they must save the children, so Ollie stays to bury their mother
• Dom and Ziggy head toward an underground entrance into their hideout
• Halfway there, they run into Ki’Ke, who chased Nero down inside the tunnel
• Nero wanted to help save the kids, and they have no time to argue so they continue with him
• The group winds up in an underground abandoned storage hall of some sort, that the R.W. use
• The locked doors are no match for Ziggy, Dom, Ki’Ke, and Nero’s ring (has a magic nullify ability)
• In one of the locked rooms, they find the scrolls stolen from Ichigo, which Ki’Ke holds on to
• In one of the other doors are Zelda and Lynk, scared but okay
• They grab the children and rush back, before their infiltration is noticed
• Back at the house, Ollie has erased all evidence of their mother’s death, but the children know
• Ziggy takes a pair of his mother’s earrings from her room (sentimental reasons) and leaves
• Ollie says he’ll take the children somewhere safe, and lay low for a good while
• He suggests Ziggy continue with his group of friends, and not come back until things settle down
• They leave for Seiya’s town instead, to stash the weapons and think of the next course of action
• Once there, they find the ninja in an uproar
• Apparently, the Rune Wakers are coming here, and surprised a small group on the border
• One of them—dead—is Xanthe’s father, another is Ryu, Soap’s friend
• While Xanthe goes to vent about his father, Seiya checks on her mother (a medical nin at work)
• Then she goes after Xanthe, to comfort him
• The others settle themselves nervously at Seiya’s, not sure what to do
• Aya suggests offering their powers to the hokage and the ninjas
• The others agree and go to do just that
• The hokage is relieved (they need help) and stations them with several different attack groups
• Seiya joins the med nins and Xanthe joins the troops
• Rune Wakers attack in waves from all sides—the ones Seraph encounter have a scepter-wielder
• Seraph transforms and claims the scepter (it is the mission Staff of Ages—Corana’s weapon)
• Like the sword, the scepter is not active, and must be restored at Corana’s Temple (south)
• Aya and Darken’s group encounter Harlan and Vaughn, who seem to lead the assault
• Vincent’s power over them seems to be weakening, and seeing Aya stills Vaughn’s hand
• Darken overpowers and restrains Vaughn while Aya summons the power of the pendant
• She battles Harlan and his pendant-summon-spirit with her own
• Harlan is defeated and subdued; Aya reverts and faints
• The Rune Wakers retreat (whatever of them is left) and everyone returns to the village
• Seiya is exhausted from constant healing; Xanthe has forced her and her mother to return home
• The group returns to their house, plus Harlan and Vaughn, and rest as well
• Aya and Vaughn awaken first; the three Evangeline siblings finally reunite
• Vaughn explains of Vincent’s attempt to control both princes and simultaneously, both pendants
• But his miscalculation was that Aya was the elder, not Vaughn, and snatched the wrong sibling
• He tried to lure them to Prothis and kill them there, but Reid intervened and it cost him his life
• After that, Lithan was sent to them as a spy, and found out about the weapons for Vincent
• The attacks on Ichigo and the ninja village were planned efforts to retrieve the hidden weapons
• Vincent over-thought his reach, and control over he and Harlan was severed, thanks to Aya
• Vincent leaves to think about the things he’s done while under Vincent’s control
• Harlan awakens, reunites with his brother and Darken, and shares a similar story to Vaughn’s
• He also knows a bit more: Vincent has made a pact with the god Remiel in his temple (north)
• That source is where he receives all his power from, and they must stop it with the weapons
• They must travel to the god temples on opposite ends of the country and activate the last two
• Seraph goes outside to inform Vaughn of their decision, and just to be near him
• She vows his loyalty to him, which gives him mixed feelings of gratitude and sadness
• The group decides to split in half to get this done quickly
• Nero, Vaughn, Harlan, Dom, Ki’Ke, Seraph, and Darken travel to Corana’s Temple (south)
• Karin, Aya, Ziggy, Soap, Rosaria, Seiya, and Xanthe travel to Remiel’s Temple (north)
• Logic: since Corana is magic-based, only physical-oriented people can enter her temple
• And vice-versa (Ziggy is considered magical because he can cast magic while the others can’t)
• Ninjas (jitsus are considered magic, so they are considered magical)
• The formation is a just-in-case precaution, because other temples have needed specific things
• Also, the owners of the respective pendants (Aya and Harlan) must go to the respective temples
• As they begin their journey north, Aya’s group finds Ryu, actually wounded, not dead
• He reports that Vincent has not been seen at the battles, so to be on the lookout for trouble
• Ryu returns to town for much-needed medical treatment (much to Soap’s relief)
• In the south, everyone (mostly Seraph) must push a giant slab of rock to enter the temple
• They brave the challenges inside and Harlan activates the Staff of Ages
• In the north, a great magical barrier blocks their way, and they must break through it to enter
• This group also braves the temples traps and challenges, and reach the alter room…
• …only to find Vincent there, waiting for them
• Xanthe, Seiya, and Ziggy lunge; Rosaria and Soap cast; Aya hides Karin and gives her the pendant
• Aya uses Vincent’s distraction to race to the alter; he is not distracted, it was a trap
• Aya activates the sword and Vincent takes it from her and kills her with it
• Getting what he came for, he disappears
• Aya’s soul has been taken from her body (the sword’s natural power) so she cannot be revived
• They take her body and return to the village, where the others await their return
• There is a procession for Aya; she is buried where she fought and reclaimed the princes
• Karin takes some of Aya’s hair and makes five bracelets, tightly woven into links
• One for her, Vaughn, Darken, Nero, and Harlan—the people directly related to her
• It is mentioned that before this, Aya and Harlan were planned to marry to unite the kingdoms
• Vaughn carries his sister to the house to sleep and Harlan does likewise
• The others leave the grave of their own accord
• Darken is the last, and swears on her grave that no one else will die in this war, except Vincent
• Vaughn is nowhere to be found; Seraph goes searching for him—finds him at a playground
• The others timidly begin making plans, but they have no idea where Vincent is
• Meanwhile, Seraph tells Vaughn of her past, her mother dying
• The mounds she makes are to remember her, and a way to “show” her the places she’s been
• This stirs up a memory in Vaughn, and he recognizes her as the small girl he gave water to
• When Vaughn was young, he traveled with his father to the Western Wasteland
• They provided food and water to the struggling people, and Vaughn gave Seraph a glass
• She was moved by his kindness, and vowed back then that she would always serve him
• She “grew up” for him (in the physical sense, because she was a half-dragon, and already grown)
• She entered the tournament to win and forever be beside him
• He fully remembers, she is happy, he tells her he wants her by his side
• Meanwhile, the others decide it would be best to return to Ziggy’s town, also the R.W. HQ
• They can try to find Ollie, and ask around, or even infiltrate the HQ for information
• Karin and Nero must be left behind, because watching over them would be distracting
• Karin refuses to let Darken go, so he slips out of his tunic and frees himself, distracted
• The next day, they do just that, and use Ziggy’s abandoned house since they have nowhere else
• Ziggy is very apprehensive, and he calls his three close friends to go out for a round of drinking
• The others resupply and try to ask around, but everyone’s very keyed up and not talking
• No sign of Ollie or the kids either
• Ziggy is drinking at Ollie’s old bar with Seph, Tera, and Joshua, and overhears a conversation
• A Rune Waker (black uniform, a red badge—officer) talks about orders from Lithan loudly
• He’s obviously drunk; Ziggy sends another round over and listens in; Joshua leaves the bar
• When the drunk Rune Wakers get up to leave (three, including the officer) Ziggy follows
• Tera and Seph go with him, and the three of them jump the drunk men
• One is instantly killed (way too drunk to fight back) and the other two fight back
• They kill the second and manage to capture the officer, and take him back to Ziggy’s place
• They try to interrogate him, without much success (between alcohol and loyalty)
• Ziggy (drunk himself) beats the crap out of the officer until he confesses
• Lithan frequents Prothis castle, meaning Vincent is most-likely there, hiding out
• They knock him out and leave very early the next morning (Vaughn can cook, it seems)
• Off to Prothis castle they go
• Darken, who has been out of it for awhile, has a dream about a ruined city on the Prothis border
• He instantly breaks from the group when he senses it near, and the group sends Ki’Ke after him
• They travel to the swamps surrounding the castle to wait for Darken and Ki’Ke’s return
• Darken and Ki’Ke stumble upon the ruins of the ancient race’s city (name forgotten—Sheikah)
• There are many depictions of the goddess Corana and a wolf, and a single man
• Ancient writing, which they can’t read, becomes legible to Darken
• This ancient race worshiped Corana, who was also represented by a wolf
• The man depicted is the one of legend who will rise with Corana’s powers and defeat Remiel
• Kiske, Darken’s wolf, reveals herself as Corana and explains that Darken is the child of destiny
• When he was born, Remiel heard the prophecy and annihilated the city, and tried to kill him
• That was when Corana sealed Remiel away and reincarnated herself into a wolf
• She took the baby to the Konoha Desert healer and Darken grew up there, without family
• When he went to give his services t the king, Corana/Kiske joined him and became his partner
• Unbelieving, Darken leaves the ruined city, almost leaving Ki’Ke behind in his rush
• They reunite with the others, who give Darken strange looks but do not press him to speak
• Ki’Ke tells them what he knows (only about the city, not about Darken’s past)
• The others have been scouting Prothis castle; guards patrol every street—it’s a fortress
• To avoid capture, the group splits into three chunks and enters from rear, side, and front
• Harlan, Soap, Vaughn, and Xanthe take the front way—most confrontation
• Darken and Ziggy take the back way—least confrontation
• Rosaria, Seiya, and Dom take the side way—they end up fleeing into the servant’s passage
• Darken and Ziggy (and candelabra of justice) take a long staircase down to a sealed gold door
• Harlan, Vaughn, and Xanthe are creating enough trouble to demand most guards (Soap heals)
• Seiya, Dom, and Rosaria sneak upstairs to find a lone woman in her room—Lenne, the advisor
• She had been hiding Reid, but he’d snuck out and been killed, so now she waits for Kerr
• Kerr was the advisor that took Nero to Moonflow (he died of too much bloodloss)
• He and Keane had promised her they’d return for her and Reid, but both have died
• They relay this information to her
• Saddened, gives them quick directions to Vincent’s throne room from here and asks to be alone
• They leave her, hear a strange noise, and look back in
• She’s killed herself
• Dom says it’s better not to revive her, because she’ll kill herself again
• Hesitantly, they leave her body and head for the throne room
• They meet Harlan, Vaughn, Xanthe and Soap coming in, looking haggard
• They can’t rest there, so they lead them back to the servant halls, where they bump into Ziggy
• According to him, they were at a sealed gold door and Darken suddenly vanished
• He leads the others back to the sealed gold door, motioning to where Darken had stood
• Darken and Corana have been transported into a “half-world” where Remiel waits to be freed
• Vincent received power from Remiel in exchange for being freed from the Evangeline pendant
• Corana possesses Darken’s body to do battle with Remiel
• Meanwhile, the royal pendants react to the gold door and it opens into a wide, empty space
• It is a platform with no walls, only a high ceiling, patterns on the floor, and eight mirrors
• Four rings in the central floor (red, blue, yellow, green); intentional grooves connect the mirrors
• There are niches for four different weapons in the four colored circles (axe to red and so forth)
• Placing the weapons in the niches make walls of elements that connect the mirrors (diagonally)
• Casting the right element at the joined mirror at the same time nullifies the elemental walls
• The rings on the floor activate, but do nothing, and they’re stuck
• Dom, Xanthe, Ki’Ke, and Ziggy (the fastest runners) go out to lure Vincent into the room
• Vaughn and Harlan express that they feel no power coming from the royal pendants
• Darken/Corana are fighting; Remiel’s a god, and Corana’s powers are reduced significantly
• Vincent is lured in by Dom and the others, Dom coming in first with a chunk of Vincent’s hair
• Vincent’s extremely angry about the “haircut” and expresses so by kicking the crap out of them
• Seiya tries to do a ‘henge’ technique—where she takes Vincent’s form to confuse him
• Vincent uses it on ¬her, confusing the others and almost making them attack the wrong Vincent
• Change of tactic: the group just tag-teams on Vincent all at once
• He uses another ninja tactic (the ‘substitution’ technique) to put Lithan in his place
• Lithan is dead, big time
• Another scuffle ensues, resulting in Vincent’s ‘henge/substitution’ of Ziggy’s ex, Zane
• Ziggy is distracted by an injury, and Dom and Ki’Ke quickly toss the body into the void
• The fighting resumes; Seraph even transforms into a dragon (Vincent tries to capture her)
• The battle between Remiel and Darken/Corana is turning; Vincent is distracting Remiel
• Corana/Darken deals a deathblow (but he’s a god, he can’t die), and a stunned Remiel flees
• Corana and Darken separate (Corana reverting to Kiske) and return to the normal realm
• Remiel’s “defeat” causes him to surge into Vincent fully, to end this battle quickly and recover
• With the pendants power returned, the weapons resonate and summon the four lesser gods
• A fire spirit, a water nymph, a sky sprite, and an earth fey revert to “human” forms
• Fire, male, axe; Water, female, bow; Air, female, scrolls; Earth, male, gauntlets
• Their powers converge, and a junctioned Remiel and Vincent are cast into the void
• YAY, THE END!
• …not
• Vincent and Remiel’s powers combine to create a great black dragon-esque demon
• Final fight! The four gods strike the demon to shatter its defenses and disperse
• The group battles a Vincent/Remiel who is very pissed
• Vincent and Harlan, using the weapons of Ages, paralyze the demon and re-summon the gods
• Vincent/Remiel is defeated in a spray of blood and light and a screaming/cursing fit
• THE END, FOR REAL!
• …still not.
• With the god of light dead and the god of darkness still living, the balance is broken
• The world begins a plunge into darkness
• Not knowing what to do, the platform beneath them collapsing, the group begins to flee
• A white beam of light parts the darkness and stops the tremors; all is calm
• After a moment, Aya appears!
• She has been chosen by the gods to ascend to Remiel’s place as god of light
• Her spirit had been banished, due to the Sword of Ages power, but Corana summoned it here
• Aya can live as a goddess and watch over them
• She asks Harlan for a favor, and when he consents, she possesses him
• Then, she hugs her brother and tells him everything will be just fine
• The kingdoms will unite, the Rune Wakers will be punished, and both princes will rule all
• Aya removes herself from Harlan and says farewell to all, and she will always be watching them
• She ascends, with Corana (which leaves Darken without a wolf-familiar)
• With her new powers, Aya transports them to a new castle; one forged by the god’s wills
• It sits directly between the ruins of Edena (now a holy place) and Prothis castle
• Prothis castle will become like a prison, to hold all the Rune Wakers who are captured
• The ninjas and the villagers and all the people are there, drawn by the mysterious castle
• Seeing the princes arrive by god’s blessings sends them into frenzied joy
• Karin and Nero are there, with the Hokage and Seiya’s family
• Ollie and Zelda and Lynk are there as well; along with Darius and Alex and a few others
• Vaughn and Harlan rule jointly, and will later on pass the thrones to Karin and Nero when grown
• Vaughn asks Seraph to marry him (her answer is a very ecstatic YES)
• LATER: Vaughn and Seraph have three children—Aya, eldest; Lux, middle; Seth, youngest
• LATER: Rosaria and Darius have twin boys (can’t recall names)
• And now, for real, they all live happily ever after. THE END.
Did I miss anything? Dear lord, I grew brain tumors trying to remember it all. @_@ Well, there's all I got. Correct me where I'm wrong, my loves.
And I'll give you all a REAL update very soon.
