I suppose I should be grateful to the island for granting me such a benign power as the ability to transform into a dragon, especially after hearing about many of the other powers that have been spread amongst us. Yet I cannot feel too grateful for this when several of my friends have been taken from me, even if they did return to their respective

Yes. I can only hope that's where they have returned, because it would be too sad if they simply went somewhere else without respite.

I can, yes. It... doesn't seem very fitting.

[blackmagicangel]

Thank you, Himawari. Yes, I think that is where they go as well.

I beg your pardon? Than you were? Are you a dragon or was it more of the island's whims?

Unfortunately, that's how life can be sometimes. Life gives us much, but it also takes away just as much as it gives us. All we can do is cope and try to make what we can of our lives...and never forget the past.

[blackmagicangel]

Mmm... I suppose that is true.

[future_defender]

That said...I'm sorry to hear about your losses. I know all too well the pain of loved ones disappearing.

[prodesto_hero]

I still don't think I'm gonna get used to this "people disappearing" thing...

[blackmagicangel]

I do not believe anybody does, to be honest.

[allnaturalmagic]

Nina... I'm so sorry.

[blackmagicangel]

It is not as if any one of us is accountable for keeping others here. You should know that just as well.

[allnaturalmagic]

I know. I only wish there was something I could do to.

[blackmagicangel]

You seem... particularly out of sorts today. Is something amiss?

[clutzy_chosen]

I'm very sorry... for your loss.

I wonder if this is how everyone felt when I left before.

[blackmagicangel]

Likely so. I'm afraid I did not know you when you were here before, so I cannot say for certain.

I am Nina Wyndia. You are?

[clutzy_chosen]

Well, my friends are happy that I'm back... so I probably shouldn't think about it, right?

It's nice to meet you, Nina! My name's Colette.

[blackmagicangel]

Right. It's difficult not to worry, but it is the best way to go about it.

A pleasure to meet you, Colette. You have only recently gotten here, then?
