(Similar to Halt's thing here.)
A Fixer stood on top of one of the buildings of Zayin. She smiled.
"Look at how much it grew. Still, it's fighting against the forces of nature, but it's beautiful to see how it grew."
She held out her hand, and a green aura radiated from it.
"The tale of Calamity. Heh.
'A tale filled with sorrow and happiness.
A tale with almost no end...
Now, the place many are looking for, a place of legend... The cabin, the fortress, the base laid dormant, with its inhabitants always staying inside, never reaching out for the outer worlds, always hiding within the base. The creators of this place wished to build the safest place on Earth. As such, the interior housed a large amount of long lasting supplies, all thanks to their inhabitants and potion brewing, which would allow anyone who stayed inside to survive for a very long period of time. But the shelter, while perfectly safe inside, alters the perception of the outside to be even more hopeless. It literally becomes, 'The safest place on Earth.' They no longer wanted to be outside. They no longer wanted to ever see the sun again. They isolated themselves. They may have been bored, but they were safe, and that was the reason why they stayed inside. The base's location is unknown to us as of now.
With the the calamity that had befallen this world, the world has been put into a disarray of conflicts. Who knew what was going there? Who... survived? What... happened to all of... Will we ever know...? But with all tales, whether complete or not, they must end.'
Heh. The man who spread that tale, Taka, I think his name was, was killed by a group of... I think treasure hunters. If there was such a place, then it would be gone now. Lost to the endless wastelands."
[Memento: My Sweet Orange Tree]
(Basically a memory unlock system kinda system I'm using at this point. Just testing this new concept out. And yes, TAC, I know, that's where I got it from.)
"The sorrow of the world is deep. Yet Desire runs deeper than agony. Sadness shall say, 'Be gone! Die!' But Desire wants to be permanent. An immortal existence that can never be abolished.
A lot of people wish for a hero, you know? Some people want to be a hero. But never had the courage, bravery, or blind foolishness to do so. They no longer believe in that mindset. They, no, we no longer believe in something like that, nor do we hope for a miracle. We don't think why we changed over time. And I for one don't blame them.
Why do people no longer have that mindset? Why don't they want to be the valiant hero that saves the day? Maybe because they grew up.
Why should children grow up? Childhood is something that can only be lived through once. Maybe not true in a biological standpoint, since jellyfish's existence, but in a mental standpoint, it would be true.
Well, what I found out, was we all have our own sweet orange tree inside of our hearts. A piece of innocence. Maybe that tree has died in our hearts, or maybe it hasn't.
Well... No matter what, even if my tree has died, I will protect the innocence of others for now. Maybe I can't see the color of the lives they perceive. Maybe it is a pain to have the tree rooting and sprouting small leaves. Maybe I can't provide water and light to their trees, but at least I will do my best to tend the soil. It's... the very least I can do for those who I care about."
[End of Memento]
"...Well, I guess it's time to carry on that legacy. This is for you, my mentor."
With that, the Fixer left the building, using the system of fire escapes on the buildings to get back down to ground level, and begins to look for new work that she could do, and those she could help grow their 'tree'.
