Owen gently brought an arm over Cynthian's shoulders. "It's alright," he said. "I think everyone understands that. Just focus on us for now, okay? We can get through this together. Right now we have the same goal, right? Save Cibus and fight those abnormalities that we've been dealing with."

Owen nodded. "He's our leader here, and he's the one guiding us. Along with Maple and God Squad, right?" He tried to assure him. "If... you really aren't that sure, and you don't want to trust him... how about you trust us instead, then? We're all in this together."

Owen listened, and in some small way he knew Cynthian had a point. Yet, despite that... "There's a difference between being naive and being cautiously optimistic," Owen said. "I get it... Dark Matter tried to destroy the world, and ruined so many lives because of it. He said it himself: Even if...

...Whatever you all decide to do... I doubt I can stop you. I only implore you all to be careful. Otherwise... He decided not to finish, and instead told Bahamut, The situations are not equivalent. I have to defend myself because of my past. The reason I fear Maple striking you all down is not...

Chapter 63 – A Difference in Opinion Shrouded in shadows that stung her skin, Star floated unevenly through the forest of the Grass Realm. She shook herself off, dislodging some of the clouds that permeated her spirit, and released a pulse of golden light to get rid of the rest of it. “Ugh—”...

Diyem listened to them all and finally sighed, making sure that it was heard amongst them. I can't reasonably expect all of you to stay quiet unless you collectively decide to work as a team. So I want you to come to a decision now. Like what Cabot suggested, you can either find someone less...

...Hm. I hadn't considered that. If you go beyond my sphere of influence and die, recovering your spirits would be... nontrivial. I did not expect the scope of this mission to risk going beyond Cibus.

"Cynthian... I think we let our guard down far enough the moment we let him send us to Cibus in the first place," he said. "It just doesn't add up that he'd be trying to deceive us after all this time. It's been almost a whole moon by now, y'know?" He looked ahead, frowning. "I don't really know...

...Even if I advised you all not to, it seems you are putting more faith in Maple to be rational than I am. Very well. If you all die then there is nothing I can do about it. I only advise you all to be careful with this. A question I have also been asking myself is if Arceus knows about you in...

"It'll be alright," Owen assured, silently downing a Pecha when Cynthian wasn't looking. "That must've been a lot for you to hear... but this is probably why it took so long to get out." He felt it would be wise to not refer to Diyem by name for now.

The change of heart, Diyem said lowly, is something that Dave can probably enlighten you about. I overheard the conversation myself. I was tempted to agree with you... until I realized how irrationally hostile Maple appears to be toward us already. You are speaking with leverage, reason, and...

"A-Arcues... wouldn't be bad, too, would he?" Owen asked in a squeak. "Well, not bad, but, er, I mean--forget I said anything, not important..." I think it's very important, Diyem harrumphed. There is a very strong chance that Arceus is in on this somehow, and that can either be very good or...

There is one final qualm I have with our entire situation, Diyem said after a long silence so Cynthian could at least recover, and the others could digest the rest of the information. The first foe we battled. Sushi and Sashimi, enlarged to impossible proportions. That is another power entirely...

It is as I said, Diyem said. I did not expect Shades to appear here, as you call them. I still do not know what they are, in fact. They have properties akin to Void Shadows--creatures I can summon, not important--but there is something else about them. Void Shadows do not... possess people, nor...

Owen did not resist, and in fact held his breath and tried to tap into an old, old skill of his. He didn't know if it would work all that well, but he did try to keep himself calm and quelled his flame until it was a gentle ember, at no risk of burning Cynthian. Granted, his flame was always...

Owen rushed to Cynthian's side and tried to steady him, mumbling gentle nothings to help calm him down. He knew that expressing his trust in Diyem wouldn't do Cynthian any good, so he hoped he could defend himself. How do you know I'm not merely deceiving you, he said simply. Why would I go out...

As you may recall... this is why I was so careful about you acquiring this Radiance to begin with. I thought it would destroy you outright. Yet, it did not. So perhaps it is safe enough to utilize... sparingly. The reason I do not think telling Maple about this is a good idea... is due to how...

--Now, hang on, Diyem said to Nip, sounding defensive. I did not lie about the hero's aura. It is a real phenomena that is not well-understood, but it exists, and it tends to make spirits brighter and easier to see. They are typically associated or found on to-be heroes grand and simple, but...

I am not actually the Dark type. In fact I can change my type quite freely as necessary. But I suppose that is not important right now. Yes. The story you heard from Maple, of an entity of darkness that tried to destroy the world, the Omens that came before it, the Dungeons, its defeat, and so...
