"No... she's..." Taini merely choked for a moment. "She won't be able to help... she simply can't just poof everyone alive... only herself..." she then wobbled onto her feet, then unsealed her wings. "If only... If only I had the heart to kill Leo." Grasped Derrick, she shifted into Seraphim and teleported to their home. Taini wondered how she was going to be able to tell Anna as she walked through the door, and that only left her further upset.

"That's not what I was saying..." Derrick sighed. "Just... If there's any chance that he IS alive... Well... Your mother would at least be able to tell us that much, wouldn't she?" He asked softly as he hugged his wife.

"It... doesn't matter. I can't even tell. My sense is just as strong as hers. I would have been able to tell right after Glenn hit the rocks." She walked over to Anna and frowned. "I need to talk to you, Anna."

Anna turned around, knocking over several bottles of tonic in the process. 'Hn?' She asked, causing Derrick to flinch.
'It's worse than Ai was...' He thought.

Taini wanted to tell Anna how pathetic it was to try and overdose on the tonic, but she shook her head and tried and endured the rushing waters that could soon burst.
"Anna... Glenn's not coming back."

'... What?' Was all Anna could say. It all seemed like a joke for a moment.

The tears from Taini's cheeks began to flow down as she stepped forward. "Sorry... Glenn's mana signature was completely gone right as he crashed onto the rocks into the water.... he... he... Leo..." By then she broke down and turned away.

'Huh?' Anna blinked, her rather dense nature working against her as she frowned. 'What are you talking about?' She asked, suddenly looking at the clock. 'Ugh... But he said he'd be right back!' She huffed, shaking her head. She simply seemed addled at this point from a combination of overuse of the tonic and denial. 'Where was he? I'm going to go there and give him a big conk on the head!'

"Anna... he was at a ravine not too far off from here. He's... he's dead, Anna," Taini responded with a cracked voice before walking upstairs slowly, knowing that the pain was too much to bear. Sleep was the only thing she could deal with at the moment.

Anna immediately summoned one of the spirits and flew off, soon arriving at the area and jumping into the water. 'Hey!' She shouted. 'Hey, hey, hey!' She continued to shout. 'Stupid! Stupid coward! Doing all this to me then running away! Don't be such a jerk! Come out! COME OUT RIGHT NOW!' She countined, summoning Undine and having the spirit search.

Despite the search, there was no sign of Glenn's body. Glenn himself was swept away by the raging waters, though his body was simply a corpse at this point.
Even though Anna existed in the area, Leo did not. He vanished.
~Two Months Later~
"ANNA!!!!" A voice boomed among the health clinic. With cold sweat flowing down his face, Glenn glanced around at his surroundings.
He noted several items: syringes, nightgowns, tongue depressors, medicine of some sort, and posters of health.
"A clinic...?" Glenn asked himself before a headache came about in a ramming fashion. "GAH! Where the hell am I!?"
As if on cue, a young doctor walked into the room. He appeared to be in his early thirties, but he also seemed incredibly experienced.
"Ah, you're in a clinic," the doctor replied as Glenn shook his head.
"I know that..." Glenn groaned as he shook his head. "Please, tell me where I am..."
"Hersin. You're basically in a city that is incredibly below sea level."
"So basically an underwater city... the only place I knew of that was underwater was Yulia City," Glenn breathed as he rubbed his own temples.
"Yulia City? Boy, you sure had a nasty dream!" the doctor chuckled.
"I'm not a boy. I'm 29," Glenn said, "And you know, Yulia City."
"I haven't heard of any Yulia City, Sir."
"Huh... maybe this is a remote area..." Glenn told himself before he glanced at the doctor. "So... what's up?"
"Well, you came here near the entrance to the village. You were pretty much left for dead. Somehow we managed to save you before you suffered brain death, which would have shut your body down completely."
"Brain death, huh?" Glenn asked with a raise of the brows.
"Yes. Now just give me awhile longer and I will have you sign some paper work. You'll need to stay another night, just to make sure you will be okay."
"I want to leave after this. I need to see Anna."
"Anna? A beau?"
"Yes, strictly speaking. Now please, hurry."
"I'll do the best I can, sir."
Later on, Glenn was ejected from the clinic and left alone in the city. It was rather a strange area. Most of this area was filled with humans, but there were other... humanoid creatures that roamed the area.
"Where... the... this must just be a bad dream..."

Of course, this whole time, Anna had been moping about the home, spending her time completely silent, not saying a word, not emoting, just sitting there like a zombie and feeling sick. Why... Why did you just leave...? She thought, a hatchet in hand as she chopped a log in half. Inside the home, Derrick was looking out the window with a concerned expression on his face.
"... She really is of your grandmother's blood..." He sighed. "I kind of wish she wasn't... We could do more to help her that way..." He groaned as he looked to his wife. "What do you suppose he's up to?" The man asked.

"I don't know... I wish I did, but I don't know. He's probably off still sulking. I don't care right now. Just..." Taini glanced at Anna and frowned. "I don't now what to do with Anna. She's been this way ever since Glenny..." Taini shook her head as she folded her arms.
"She can't seem to let go of him at all. I don't blame her. If you died I wouldn't even know what I'd do. Snap, probably," Taini replied with a sigh.

In the city, there was a man carrying a long knife, staring out into the distance. "Right... I guess today's the day..." He said, stepping forward. "Can't stay in a Utopia forever, can we? No... Gotta see the world outside."

"Huh?" Glenn heard the voice that was near him. He did not know this was even a Utopia. Then again, everything seemed absolutely...
perfect.
People were hustling and bustling, but they appeared to be in harmony. They were building upon what was already great. Majestic buildings rose high, and homes were completely free of any blemish. Shops were busy, and the economy appeared to be booming, just from a quick glance. Glenn was astonished. This WAS a utopia.
"W-who are you?" Glenn decided to ask the man as he turned to him.

"Hm?" The man turned about, shrugging. "Just a drifter." He said. "That is to say I ended up drifting here when there was a tidal wave about a year ago that pushed my damn boat here, and since then I've been tryin' my damndest to get out and get back home."

"You too, huh? I just woke up here... I don't even know where I am. They call this place Hersin. I've never heard of it. Is this..." Glenn glanced upward. "There is no place existent on Carleon. Not like this," he explained. "Hey... how about we both try and get the hell out of here? I mean, what's stopping you anyway?"

"... I've been trying to find the damn exit for two years." The man admitted with a sigh. "Name's Ace. No relation." He said, referring to the fact that he too was from Carleon and knew of the Colosseum head.

"So from Carleon, eh?" Glenn asked as he glanced up at the man. He then placed a hand onto his head. "Glenn. I think we have a way out of here quite easily. Out of this town anyway."

"... Okay, sure." Ace shrugged. "I've been askin' around, nobody even knows the way out... Then they immediately offer you try some restaurant or another. Thank Yulia I have a lot of Gald... Or rather had... Then again, it's a bit odd that these people TOOK Gald. Anyway, you'd better get your ass down."
