Yuffie wakes up in the soft bed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

She felt like she was having a dream, but she couldn't remember what it was. She looked around with half-open eyes—the walls of the room were made of polished and smooth planks, painted with colorless paint, and shiny in the setting sun. To her right was another bed, covered with thick cushions, neat as new. Not far in front of him lay wooden cabinets, chairs, and desks, all of which were empty.

She was the only one in the room, and she had never been here before.

By the way, it seems that someone wants to take her, and then Lynn tries to fight him, and then herself......

Yuffie struggled to sit up, and found a soft linen robe over her body. She examined her body, and the blood and wounds in her memory were not there, nor was there any pain or discomfort.

Did you survive...... Or is it already dead, and this is the afterlife? It was mentioned in the class that there were many infinite expanses of space on the outer side of the world they inhabited - they were called the outer planes. When everyone dies, the soul is drawn to one of them, where it waits to be reborn, or to be a part of it forever.

Good thing it doesn't look like hell here, Yuffie thought to herself. She lifted her arm and bit it lightly, and there was a numb pressure in her arm instead of the pain it should have. She couldn't figure out what that meant, so she left it behind.

For now, the first thing to do is to find out where she is - preferably not where Kulen Dahl lives, Yuffie told herself, or she will have to find a way to escape.

Yuffie put her feet on the ground and tried to stand up straight. Maybe she slept for too long, and at first she felt a little dizzy and had difficulty controlling her movements, but she soon regained her senses. She chanted a short incantation, her magic weaving into a silver web that protected her in armor.

Being able to use magic gave her some confidence. The door to the room was unlocked, and she carefully pushed it open, strolling down the hallway barefoot, silently.

On one side of the hallway are several windows filled with pale green transparent glass. From there, it seemed to be a lively street outside, and she was on the second or third floor of a building. She withdrew her gaze and walked down the hallway. Another door appeared in front of her, and she knocked on it.

"Ah, you're awake, please come in." A warm, clear female voice came from the door, not belonging to anyone she was familiar with.

"Excuse me." She gently pushed the door open and met the silver-haired woman sitting at the table. "Excuse me...... Where is this? ”

"Roland Federation, Moon Song City, the lounge of the Adventurer's Guild." The young woman replied gently, "There are not many people living here. How did you sleep? ”

Yuffie nodded, looking like he was still alive. From the City of Water to the Roland Federation, it is about a four-day journey. Then the members of the Guild who saved her and brought her here are the members of the Guild.

"Thank you...... And your companions. Yuffie folded her hands on her chest, bowed slightly, and thanked each other with witch etiquette. What time is it? ”

"Hmm...... The eleventh week of the summer month, the fourth day. ”

The graduation test is the last day of the ninth week. It has been a full nine days since he lost consciousness at the academy. Strangely, she didn't seem to feel hungry or thirsty at all, not even weak. She pushed the question out of her head again and asked the question that scared her.

"Excuse me......" Yuffie could clearly hear the nervousness in her voice. She felt that her heart was beating much faster than before, but her palms were still dry. "You've seen ...... A girl with short blonde hair? She covered her chest with her hands, afraid that she would hear an answer that made her desperate, "Her name is Lynn. ”

The silver-haired woman raised the corners of her mouth, and a smile full of encouragement soothed the girl's uneasiness.

"You've done a great job, Yuffie. The amulet stopped the deterioration of her physical condition, and she was still alive. The woman slowly retracted her smile, "However, she was seriously injured. The spell almost completely destroyed her internal organs, and I could keep her alive, but I couldn't cure her. ”

Yuffie lowered her head and closed her eyes. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and only let out a few strange whimpering. She wished it was herself who had been hurt - Cullen's target was her, and both Lynn and Mentor Catherine were innocent. She also knew that what had happened could not be changed, and that she had to accept it and move on, along with their share -

"I want to meet her." She said softly but firmly.

A flash of appreciation flashed in the silver-haired woman's eyes, and she nodded and got up from the table. "Come with me."

Yuffie followed her through the hallway. The woman briefly introduced her name and identity, walked down the stairs alone, and returned with a long-haired Erna man in tow.

She introduces Pfister to Yufie, who apologizes to her in place of Vanka, or Head of Eagle. Yuffie knew it wasn't their fault. Her nose was a little sour, and she blinked, only to find that she didn't have any tears.

At any other time, she would have had the pleasure of meeting these famous people and listening to them tell some of their own history. Yuffie was cranky.

They walked into a dimly lit room. Hylandsia raised her right hand and prayed softly. Milky white balls of light emerged from her palms and floated to several corners, spreading a soft glow throughout the room. There was almost nothing left in the room, except for a single bed that was placed by the wall.

Yuffie walked briskly to the bed, where her friend lay down. The blood on Lynn's body had been cleaned up, and not even a trace of blood could be seen on her face, and even her breathing was so weak that it was difficult to detect. A golden light surrounded her, and she closed her eyes peacefully, as if asleep.

"I can...... Did you run into her? Yuffie asked in a low voice, as if he was afraid of waking her up.

Highland Cia nodded.

Yuphie carefully stroked Lynn's face. She couldn't feel her friend's body temperature, whether it was cold or hot. It doesn't matter. Yuphie silently prayed in her heart that as long as she could be restored to health and revived her, no matter what-

A warm glow spread from her palm, covering Lynn's body - she didn't use any magic. Yuffie looked back at the two of them and saw that they were looking at her with the same surprised gaze.

The light dissipated. Lynn's eyelashes twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes. She initially seemed a little confused, but gradually became aware of the person in front of her.

"You ...... Phenanthrene? She tried to raise her hand, but immediately gave up the attempt, and let out a mournful cry that seemed to be in pain.

Hylancia approached quickly, chanting in a clear voice, the white-gold light slowly sinking into Lynn's body. Lynn's expression softened, and she smiled weakly and thanked the woman softly.

Yuffie looked at his palms and didn't notice anything unusual. "Just now...... What happened? She turned to Hyland Sea.

"That's the healing power." Hylanthia said briefly, "It seems that while you have changed your identity, you have also gained a portion of Edda's power. ”

"Can I heal her?" Yuffie put her hand on Lynn's forehead again, thinking about restoring her health. The soft light lit up for a moment, then went out.

"Not right now." Highland Cia grabbed Yuffie's hand and stopped her from trying. "If you want, I can teach you the knowledge of divine arts. Until then...... she stared at Yuffie, "aren't you curious, what's wrong with your body?" ”

Yuffie nodded. She did feel something unusual in her body now, but she couldn't find a suitable explanation.

"In the battle at Eagle Academy......" Highland Sia tilted her head, as if talking about an inconsequential topic. You're dead. ”

Lynn took a soft breath. Yuffie blinked, realizing that he was not too surprised.

"We're not sure if it was an accident or if it was the other party's original intention." Pfister walked up to them and picked up her words, "You're an undead now. He rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, "A species created by Alex Anderson Edda." It is said that he has always wanted to create the most perfect life, and this is one of the attempts. ”

"You no longer need to eat or drink, your body spontaneously absorbs energy from the air. For general wounds, you can also recover faster. Pfister put his hand down, "But it's not perfect. Before Alex perfected it, his whereabouts along with Tiana Vis Marr were unknown. He sighed and added, "More than three hundred years ago. ”

"Imperfect means......" Yuffie touched his arm, which felt as if it was separated by a heavy layer of fabric. It's true that the sense of touch is a bit strange, and the control of the body is not very comfortable......"

"You're not used to this body, but you'll get better in a few days." Pfister looked at the girl, frowned, and continued, "The body of an undead creature may affect your soul. Maybe you're not like yourself, or maybe you're ...... Loss of sanity. ”

"Is there any way to do it?" Lynn looked at Yuffie worriedly and asked in a low voice.

Highland Cia shook her head. "Her body is shaped by the power of creation, and I can't change it." She turned to Yufie, "However, if you learn the arts, it may be possible to stabilize your soul." ”

"It could have been worse." Pfister added, "If your case is Cullen's, your use of healing may be in line with his intentions. He pondered for a moment, "When Vanka comes back, let him do a full examination for you, you should be able to figure out some of the reasons." ”

Yuffie thought quietly. There's no better choice, so the answer is simple – just follow your heart. The things she wanted to accomplish slipped through her mind, and then, she made a decision in her mind.

"Thank you." Yuffie looked at the two of them seriously, "I want to learn divine arts." And, after that, I'll go on a trip. ”

"Oh?" Highland Cia raised an eyebrow, her voice tinged with interest. "Tell me about it."

"I want to figure out the reason for this incident. Whether it's the undead, whether I'm going to be attacked, or what's behind it. Yuffie's eyes sparkled, and it was her desire to learn. This is my obligation, and my right. She laughed, "After all, I'm the one involved." And—"

She looked down at Lynn, and Lynn looked at her. "We had an agreement. Your wishes, I will help you make them come true. Then I'll come back here, heal your wounds, and set off together. She crouched down and rested her head against Lynn's ear, "Trust me. ”

Lynn nodded effortlessly, tears rolling silently down her cheeks, but a smile on her lips.

Highland Sia smiled with satisfaction.

"Let's do it." Pfister shrugged, "I'll ask Lilianor's group to accompany you on your journey, and if anything happens, they'll take care of you." ”

Yuffie stood up and saluted the man.

"Alright, Yuffie's affairs are over for now." Highland Cia clapped her hands and looked at Lynn. "Now, then, it's time for your choice."

Lynn's eyes seemed to light up. “…… Can I choose? ”

"Of course." Highland Sia crouched beside Lynn, elbows resting on the edge of the bed and her chin resting on her crossed hands. "You can wait for Yuffie to come back here, with her talent and hard work, it won't be long. In the meantime, I will keep your body alive and you will sleep quietly until that moment, and then start your journey with her. ”

Lynn gasped softly, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. The magic used for analgesia began to fail, and she ignored it.

"That'...... What about the other one? ”

"I'll transform you into other creatures, with enough resilience to heal your wounds." "It's a dangerous process, and maybe painful, and if it fails, you'll lose your life." ”

"What if...... It worked. ”

"You'll get the strength and see her sooner." Hylanthia chuckled, "It sounds like the devil's words, but the decision is up to you." ”

Yuffie turned her head and met Lynn's gaze again. She understood what Lynn would choose, and she knew she wouldn't dissuade her—it was Lynn's own decision. She bit her lower lip, hiding her senseless worry, and nodded vigorously to her friend, sending her encouragement.

Lynn closed her eyes, and after a while, they opened again. "I choose the latter." She looked at Hylancia, her voice was soft, but she didn't hesitate, "I want to go side by side with her, whether it succeeds or not, I won't regret it." ”

Hylanthia pursed the corners of her mouth, reached into her robe, and took out a vial. The bottle contains a golden liquid that glows softly. Lynn had a happy expression. Yuffie felt a sense of warmth and relaxation, as if she had returned to her familiar home, huddled by the fireplace, listening to her mother's interesting stories.

"It's ...... What? Lynn's eyes widened slightly.

It was the first time that Yuffie had seen Hylandia smile so happily.

"The blood of Aracsha." The silver-haired woman said happily, "He watched you and Yuffie on a heroic performance, and you deserve it." ”
