Yi Su-Gyeong was standing before the darkest star.
“Will you go with us?”
[Constellation, 'Queen of the Darkest Spring', is slowly opening her eyes.]
The location Persephone rested in wasn't the Underworld. That was because the passageway to her home had disappeared after
[The fact that I'm still alive, it must mean that my ■■ isn't in this place, at the very least.]
She slowly turned her head, her eyes still radiating some warmth. Warmth, left behind by a certain someone. Yi Su-Gyeong knew whose Fable that was.
[Fable, 'Promise of the Darkest Night', is continuing on with its storytelling.]
It was from the King of the Underworld, who swore to be by her side until the end of the world. And like he promised, he died instead of Persephone at the end of the world.
[Let us go. We must save that child.]
Jeong Hui-Won knocked on a worn-down door of the Complex's special guest room.
“Is anyone home?”
She turned the doorknob, and the door opened without resistance. What greeted her immediately afterwards a holographic figurine.
⸢⸢Kim Dok-Ja, escaping from the water dragon!⸥⸥
It was the figurine of Kim Dok-Ja during his escape from the water dragon. Not only that, but the line he uttered during the event also floated up below the hologram, as well.
⸢”Alright, then. Time to go outside.”⸥
Jeong Hui-Won stared at that bizarre 3D sculpture with a slightly dumbfounded face. That wasn't the only figurine, though.
⸢⸢Kim Dok-Ja, destroying the Absolute Throne!⸥⸥
⸢⸢Kim Dok-Ja, liberating the Demon World!⸥⸥
“….Not even Yu-Seung or Gil-Yeong's rooms look like this.”
As if she came to sightsee, Jeong Hui-Won studied each and every figurine. As she followed the lines of these action figures arranged by the year and the scenario number, she abruptly recalled their past. Uriel must've been looking at Kim Dok-Ja during all of these moments.
Among these was a rear tentacle from a squid, seemingly a part of a 'special limited edition' collection.
⸢⸢Kim Dok-Ja the Squid's last tentacle (made by Yangsan)⸥⸥
She looked at this thing with puzzled eyes, before reaching out to it. But, just as her hand touched the glass display case, a true voice could be heard.
[If you carelessly touch that, Uriel's going to get really mad.]
How long had it been? An Archangel with a rather wane complexion was sitting by the table near the display case. No, wait – not many would actually recognise her as an Archangel these days.
A woman who silently flipped the pages of a book, not even bothering to look even though she was the one who started the conversation. Jeong Hui-Won quietly stared at this woman's long eyelashes before asking her. “Gabriel. Do you know where Uriel is?”
[Constellation, 'Lily Blooming on Aquarius', is revealing her presence.]
The power of a Fable spread out like ripples from her entire figure. Perhaps this was the Archangel displaying her last vestige of pride.
[Oh, the last Incarnation of Eden.]
Gabriel closed the book gently, her eyes gleaming brightly. It seemed that she had already figured out why Jeong Hui-Won came to visit.
[I've crossed world-lines before. And it was truly a dizzying experience, indeed. But what all of you are trying to do here exceeds that. You won't make it out alive.]
“Is that how Eden jinxes others?”
[This is your reality. You must not run away from it. You can't seriously be considering undoing this ending you earned by finally bringing down the
The 'reality'. The weight of that word pressed down slightly on Jeong Hui-Won's chest. Rather than replying, though, she looked around at the room's décor again, instead. The bunk bed shared by Uriel and Gabriel was located on the corner. And the word
⸢The Nebula 'Eden' was finished. No one could deny that truth.⸥
“What makes one's reality isn't the environment nor the location.”
Even though Eden was finished, someone still chose to call this very room her Eden. Because, Archangels were still here.
⸢Even if there were only two.⸥
“It's a cool-looking Eden, though.”
Jeong Hui-Won turned around to find Gabriel looking at her with trembling eyes.
“Can you tell me where Uriel is?”
[….Behind you.]
