FINAL TRIAL

[foundationmods]

...Finally, it was time to begin.

The unlit pyre rose before them, tall and massive.
The smell of smoke wafted around them, as the Witch stood before them - flanked by all her demons and her servants.
The Pieces she had taken.🗈

There was no audience, no trial.

It was just them...and the Witch.

The Witch who stood before the pyre, as if accepting her fate.


In this, this final hour... Music could be heard by both the pieces and those that looked on from another plane.

Their forms were changed again, for the final time - to those of the trial.

A trial that could easily turn into an execution...or a redemption.

But it still had to happen.
If something heals improperly, you must cause pain and reopen the wounds to make it heal correctly.
But.
There was always the risk of infection...

....Would this end....in a happy ending...?

...Nothing was certain.

Nothing, except the knowledge in their own hearts and minds.

Kurama cut it off, but after firing the two shots. I don't know if it's to see what's under or to push Clear into finding a second one. We did get confirmation from Nirrti that Clear moved on his own to the music room, right?

Clear might have considered finding a new mask more important than even saving his own life. He wore it all the time so he must have been really scared of anyone seeing him...

And yeah, she said he didn't fall.

Yeah, he made it pretty clear that he prefers to never be without his mask. When I asked about him removing it for an investigation, he asked for alternatives.
