The War

"Like who?"

"Well, Martin still hasn't gotten the chance to introduce himself to his son, Damien isn't even interested in becoming an Apostle, and I..." Florence paused, as if trying to think of a reason. "I think being an Apostle sounds like a lot of work."

"I'm staying." Diane said.

Joshua took note of the Reapers that Florence listed and Diane.

A rift suddenly opened, similar to the one from before, but a bright light shone from this one.

Dark shielded her eyes and hissed.

Gaia looked at the rift for a moment. She then walked through it. The nameless Reapers followed. Luther walked up to the rift and then stopped. He looked over at the door, as if expecting someone to walk through it, but no one did. After a while he walked through the rift.

Florence looked at Joshua.

Dark looked at the nameless reapers. Some said 'thank you' for her saving them.

There was silence for a moment and then Cassandra walked through the door. She seemed relieved that Luther had gone.

"What about you?" Florence asked Joshua. "Aren't you going to go through the portal?"

Joshua didn't respond.

Dark looked at Florence. "So...you got a place to stay?"

"Not really."

"You know, I have a nice cave."

Florence nodded. "Would you mind if I stayed with you?"

"Sure."

Florence looked at Diane.

Diane shrugged. "Fine."

Joshua simply stood there, watching the rift until it closed. Goodbye, mother. He turned to Florence and the others, not sure what they were talking about.

"Do you need a place to stay too?"

"I'll be fine." He said. "Damien probably needs a place to stay though."

"Him too."

OOC: I just realized, the cave is gonna be pretty crowded.

IC: Damien was still untrusting of Mako

"I can get you guys some rooms."

Florence was fine with that.

Dark smiled.

Damien wasn't sure why.

"That's easy."
