Prelude
After finally reaching the point they were at before being captured, Annytin sets on her journey to find herself, along with her soulmate' (literally, not lovey-dovey)' Keira.

I: Where To Turn...?
After returning to the square within Jorenima, Annytin (with full control of the body) looked around the war-torn ruins of the city.

"Well, I can't tell which way is left or right, with the way this hell-hole looks." Annytin groaned.

"Well, we can't just stand in the hell-hole can we? From the looks of the map, we basically need to go straight through, but..."

"But we can't find the way around this heap of rubble." Annytin cut in, hands on her hips in aggrivation.

"Maybe you need a different way of looking at this "heap". A man chuckled from behind.

''"Zeke?!" The duo exclaimed. "Shouldn't you be home?!" Keira asked ''

"Nah, Jackie has everything under control, 'sides it looks like you could use help." Zeke smirked.

"Watch it pretty boy, be grateful Keira loves you, or else you'd be dead meat for having that cocky grin on your face." Annytin glared.

Zeke merely laughed, "I know, look, all you gotta do is either have super-jumping ability or climb." He managed to spit out.

''"Oh Zeke, would you stop irritating Anny." Keira said, before Annytin gave control.''

"Control your boy-toy." Annytin growled from now the inside. Keira merely sighed and giggled.

"Oh now you've done it." Keira rolled her eyes playfully at Zeke, smiling.

"Good, means I get to see that smile of yours." Zeke grinned, holding her.

"Focus lover-boy, we got a quest to do." Keira giggled, then looking at the rubble mountain.

Keira began to climb, but mislodged a piece and lost her footing. Zeke grabbed her before she could fall off entirely, and gave her a push up, grinning. She rolled her eyes in a hard-to-get subtle tone. She reached the top and could overlook the exit barrier, seeing a field of grass. She sighed, ''remembering her childhood and how she loved being outside and enjoying life without a care in the world. Zeke joined her, and got his barings.''

"We'll have our own plains to look at soon. I promise." Zeke said, reading her expression.

"Maybe for you..." Keira sighed, her face showing grief and regret.

"Keira...?" Annytin piped up, concern in her voice.

"My - my body... is tiring." Keira said, her hair whipping softly against her face.

"Tiring?" Zeke asked, half-confused, half-concerned.

"It's been through alot, too much. It's as if it's aging faster, but not showing it, ya know?" Keira said, her tone unwavering, not a mood caressing it.

"Oh, well maybe you need a long sleep?" Zeke tried to chuckle at it, but couldn't.

"If it were only that simple...I reckon I have enough left, to help Anny, after that, I reckon my soul will move on." Keira said, facing him.

"What?!" Annytin exclaimed.

"Keira... isn't there another way?" Zeke asked, a familiar wave of grief swept over his body.

"I... don't know. In any case, we keep going. I want this to be about Anny, but I wanted you both to know... before we reached the End. Before I say goodbye..." Keira nearly whispered, then gave a warm smile.
