Work Text:
We walk into a trap that cannot be escaped. A path of the trailblaze leads to a path condemned to damnation. We experienced where dreams thrived, and we sought the parallel worlds between reality and dreams.
"I think we spent too long here on Penacony; what do you think?" The red-haired navigator of the express asks. "Ah yes, it's been about a week, and the Charmony festival has already been concluded. Let me text the conductor so we can trailblaze to our next destination. Is this alright with you all?" replied the cane holder. "Of course, we spent too long here. I wonder that Dan Heng is up too. What about you trailblazer? Are you alright? You've been zoning out lately, you ok? Chimes the ever-joyful 7th day of a month.
"I'm fine. It's alright with me. Can I stay for a while longer? I want to say goodbye to some friends if it's alright with you. Expressed the nonchalant member of the nameless who might just have experienced a trauma that will last for eternity. "Oh certainly, friendship is very important; we will be heading to the express now. See you there." waved the gleeful month. As the trailblazer walks, a dark-looking memokeeper nun appears.
"Didn't mean to eavesdrop, but are you leaving? I came here to just say bye. I had fun traversing the dreamscape with you, if it means something to our friendship. Here's a dream bubble; don't look at it yet until you get to that place." "Ah, thank you; you're the only one I was only saying goodbye to. I'll hold onto this; thank you, Black Swan." I didn't plan on leaving without saying bye to her, as the skinwalker fool left a day ago to the tavern, 2010 wallpaper ahh eye left just as the festival ended. Mei expy left for more to kill, but I always got a gut feeling I knew her from somewhere; it's tied to guilt and love. My favorite day of the week already said goodbye, as he had plans with the family. Also, the divorced dad said his goodbyes to him. The bellboy? Looking as sweet as ever, I said bye to him a week ago. Just one more place to visit.
As I head to the dreamscape and walk to the lobby, I see the place where the light flew away. There was nothing I could've done to help her; I just watched her meet her demise as she smiled at me before her demise, a smile filled with joy, never noticing the plan the Aeons had. As I kneeled down, I remembered the bubble that Black Swan gave me. It feels like I need to see it for her, not for me.
"Come on, let's go explore Penacony." "Ok, wait up," a journey filled with laughter and smiles as we headed to the game area. We drank the best SoulGlad. We watched as I turned in Hanu, traveled to the Dreams Edge, and went to her hideout. "Was it fun trailblazer?... Did you enjoy it?" "Oh, yes, I did. Thank you for bringing me along to experience the whole of Penacony." "Hehe, it was nothing. You helped me get away from the Bloodhound family, so I was my token of my appreciation. But I have something to tell you. I'm not from here." "I know..."
"I knew it was hard slipping things past you, I don't anymore. I went to Penacony to experience the side i never got to experience. I'm ill with me just ending with a pile of ash and after a week or something people forget about me. And i don't want that! I want to feel my life as a whole not experiencing the whole world makes me bitter. I don't wish to be condemned to my sickness, i just I was stronger but i can't. I'm just too tired to keep fighting. When you accepted my request to travel all over Penacony i was overjoyed, maybe even hysterical. I never gotten along with anybody that much but i enjoy it with you. Thank you so much, even we just met i feel a whole burden over me just vanished just being you there with me" "I can't even comprehend what you say but, i'm glad i met you. I enjoyed every little thing with you"
"I'm getting emotional here, haha. Let me change the subject." "No, no, it's fine. Let's just not talk and enjoy the horizon." That's the dream inside the bubble. I don't want to cry... But I can't keep the tears from streaming past my eyes... Firefly, firefly.
As I greet my family in the express, I can't help but feel happy inside; it's the first time I've experienced a festival full of dreams. As the express beings moved out of Penacony, I shed a tear. Am I crying? And I remember a name you were talking about. Fire? Firebird? Oh, maybe I saw a phoenix and it flew away. Let's visit the next stop.
