NOVEL NEXT Chapter 29: Perspectives.
POV: Harry Terria
I was currently looking around the church that I had accidentally taken over; The broken roof and the holes in the walls made themselves known for all the time I spent in there. And so I was currently working on trying to find a way to fix the whole thing, maybe I'd even get some sort of present from the goddess this church is dedicated to? My prayers were still not enough in my own opinion, after all, what were prayers worth if they only took and never gave back?
Maybe I'd be able to use the weird energy from my escape from the shed again; It would be nice if it could be used to help me move things around here.
POV: Jerome
I was still in that damned mirror room! I can't even remember how long I've spent in there, I'm pretty sure I'm starting to forget some details about my life before the dungeon too; And, for some reason, I'm not actually all that concerned about it. In fact, forgetting stuff made me feel strangely better in a way.
I felt fur brushing against my legs and found my Mast- my friend there; The cat made me feel incredibly weird right now, almost at peace even though I knew what it had done. That cat was actually what kept me somewhat sane during all of my time down there, if only because it was what I was funneling all of my insanity into.
I crouched down and pet it, receiving a strange purr in response; That purr actually made me feel good, after all, it meant that I had made my FRIEND feel nice! I continued to pet the cat like that for a little while before it pushed me down to the ground and walked right next to me.
I suddenly felt an immense amount of pain in my arm, and looked down to it to see the cat carving something into it; It seemed to be smiling as it so to... which made me feel incredibly good because of it since I was making my Master
happy!I couldn't wait for the result of the carving... wait, what?
POV: Lethe
I scribbled furiously onto the paper in front of me, frustration had clearly gotten the better of me. I don't understand, I'm not feeling nervous at all -I think- or anything, but I was still stuttering while talking for some reason! I don't want to keep stuttering, but it just keeps coming back!
I sighed and balled up the paper I just ruined. I then took a purple pencil and went to work on another drawing; This time I would be drawing Lor himself -well, his core at least- since I wanted to gift him something for his kindness towards me, I felt my tail wave slightly faster than usual at the thought of actually repaying him for what he was doing for me.
I took a look at Lor's core once more before starting on my drawing, hopefully it would turn out better than the fifteen previous ones.
POV: Antier Egos
I headed outside of the church for what felt like the first time in years, and took a deep breath of the perfect air around me; I could hear birds singing and saw a few kids playing some sort of game in the streets while I made my way over to my favorite food vendor. I could smell the delicious food before even seeing the shop and felt hungry just thinking about those wonderful treats that the man had invented. From what I remembered, the man had called them 'Churros' or something similar.
I turned around a street corner and-
"-IR! Please wake up sir! We need your assistance immediately! The mage that we sent hasn't reported to us in months!" I was rudely woken up by the annoyingly high-pitched void of Herald; I was certain that I would gain nightmares from him at one point.
"Wha... What do you mean that he isn't reporting to us? And why did no one notice it before?!" I exclaimed in a loud voice.
Herald had the decency to be embarrassed by that, "Well, sir, the department in charge of it thought that it was normal for the Mage to take his time as they always do what they want..."
I wished I could go back to dreaming.
POV: Gabriel Ler
It was heaven on earth right now! Everything was simply perfect and incredible! I simply couldn't feel more happy if I tried! Everyone other than me was dead, I could study the dungeon however much I wanted now! I felt oh so HAPPY... but, why am I crying?
