ELDER-RAIN CORE - Memory One: Slime Heart - Wattpad

Story Starts Here:

「The CORE spiraled in the center of the world, surging with infinitely mana and energy, and blooming new plants and resource through the lands. This surge in immense connection with the Slime Wendigo's emotion has cause it to expand the world even more. It caught the attention of many... 」

◇ ELDER-RAIN CORE ◇

[] Memory One: Slime Heart []

「Windi, right in front of the vessel had her claw out. It's different seeing Windi herself attacking them compared to seeing a large beast attacking them. Regardless, each phase has her mind lost, wondering afar. The vessel dashed through before getting clawed. 」

「Windi swiftly turned around and raised her arm before orange slime seep from the ground and shot upward around her, crystalizing into bones before it floats up off the ground. Each one shape like rips, pointing outward and spinning around her before it shoots outward, a circular attack with bone spear! She summoned a few more set of bones and sent out, changing how random each spear aimed toward. 」

「They managed to zip past each one, going left and right to evade the spears! 」

◇ Oblivion's Turn ◇

「The battle of her past! Their determination won't let them falter! 」

「The breathing heavy and the heat picked up as the fire from the forest started to cause the whole area to be hot. However, that didn't stop the vessel and they continued to [Purify] the soul of hers! 」

◇ +10% Purity ◇ 60% / 100% Purity ◇

「Her attacks had gotten longer and more complicated. However, with each attack she made, it felt as if she doesn't want to hurt the vessel. Almost as if she has some conscious somewhere with her body controlled by her Wendigo's instinct. 」

◇ Windi Anenstia's Turn ◇

「The ground below started to break more with bright light beaming out from it. The forest surrounding them started to become char and vanishing into magic particles, creating smoke in the air. These fire help create a light source since the inconsistent light from the moon could be a problem without the scorch hot flames. 」

Hiding dark, under the bright moon.

Following your own little paths, those unknown little paths.

Of angel goes singing down, there’s no hope left.

Taken by a theft.

「Windi summoned more bones from the ground, tripling the amounts before she scattered them outward in the same circular spread! The tip of each of the bone spears engulf in fire and as the vessel see each one, they do what they could do at the moment. DODGE! 」

「She tried it one more time and shoot three more layer of bone spears before she rushed over to the vessel and raised her arm! The vessel noticed but she stopped mid-way and predicted that they would dash through behind her. Immediately, she moved her arm backward and cut them using the sharp back end of their claws. 」

◇ -30% Mana ◇ 70% / 100% Mana ◇ 1 Stack of Guilt ◇

◇ Oblivion's Turn ◇

「They felt the cut at their body, but they don't want to think about it. They continued on and created a purification flash, causing Windi to flinch a bit! A [Purify] for her soul! Only a few more left to go! 」

◇ +10% Purity ◇ 70% / 100% Purity ◇

◇ Windi Anenstia's Turn ◇

To, the known.

It’s your own imagination of the

Life, that’s left.

It’s the passion that’s inside the heart.

「Windi placed her hands on the ground and surrounded the whole arena with large bone pointing upward. Suddenly flames escaped from the gaps of some of the bones and landed on the ground before heading toward the center! 」

「The vessel would avoid touching each of the flame as they watch the fire in the center become bigger with each flame that it consumed. With enough fire, the massive ball of flames morphed into a fire spirit in the same of the Wendigo! Not only that, but there were also red fireflies appearing from the burning forest and surrounding the creature. 」

「Now there was both the Wendigo and Windi... 」

◇ Oblivion's Turn ◇

「[Purify]! There's no time for panic and worrying about two enemies ahead of them! 」

◇ +10% Purity ◇ 80% / 100% Purity ◇

◇ Windi Anenstia's Turn ◇

Now I’m you~.

Guilty of my own mistake.

I am blinded by my eyes, instinct of the tide.

I cannot follow my own thoughts,

Anger on the spot.

I just blame myself.

「Both the flaming Wendigo and Windi circled around the vessel. The fire beast charged to get the Vessel backing far away from them as Windi herself summoned bone spear to attack at far range! 」

「When they dodged of the claw attack, a bone spear hit and punctured through their chest, going through. It caused them to pause due to the force and the Wendigo goes into for another attack with scorch a mark on the same spot! 」

◇ -40% Mana ◇ 30% / 100% Mana ◇ 2 Stack of Guilt ◇

◇ -20% Mana ◇ 10% / 100% Mana ◇ 3 Stack of Guilt ◇

「Windi kneeled down and grabbed her head, screaming as the flame Wendigo frozen had a swarm of fireflies around it. 」

◇ Windi & The Wendigo is now Immobilized! ◇

◇ Oblivion's Turn ◇ One Extra Turn ◇

「The vessel kneeled down, injured with the lack of mana in their system. Luckily for them, they still have only one more healing item left but it will permanent affect them for the rest of this encounter. They took out the [Green Moss] and consume it! 」

◇ +100% Mana ◇ 100% / 100% Mana ◇ -10% Movement Speed for the rest of this Encounter ◇

「Their body instantly recover and refreshed, surging with mana. However, due to eating the moss, their body felt a bit fatigue and slightly tired, there movement only affected a little but could make a huge difference in dodging. Luckily, they have a magic dash to use if they required more of it. 」

◇ Oblivion's Turn ◇ 

「And with Windi immobilized, they took this advantage and [Purify] her. Their hand started to spark white particles as if something about their pacification changed a bit. Not sure what it was, they prepared for her to attack them again. 」

◇ +10% Purity ◇ 90% / 100% Purity ◇

◇ Windi Anenstia's Turn ◇

When the cloak~.

is hiding all of it from me.

Like the shadow hiding, from the full moon.

I can give you a hug like they've given to me,

Open your red eyes...

「Windi shook it out from the headache and roared loud that it echoes throughout the whole arena. The red fire that scorches the trees suddenly froze before crystalizing into bright ruby crystals, emitting cold air from it. The ground dimmed down as snow from the sky started to fall onto the land. A sudden change from hot to cold! 」

「The flaming Wendigo crystalized as well and morphed into a cloak with a ruby deer skull as the head. It immediately summoned red crystal from under its ragged body and sprayed these shards toward the vessel! 」

「They didn't have the distance to dodge to the side, so they phase through the projectile only to see Windi charging up energy before a laser beam shoot at them! Fireflies following the direction and flow of the shot! Due to the cooldown of the dash and the speed of the laser, they become hit by it! 」

◇ -25% Mana ◇ 75% / 100% Mana ◇ 1 Stack of Guilt ◇

◇ Oblivion's Turn ◇

「They stood up, swiping the cold red frost on their body. Despite being a laser, it seemed to be full of ice element magic within. This is the only mana they have left and with no item left. They have the final [Purify]! It's all over- 」

◇ +10% Purity ◇ 99% / 100% Purity ◇ PURIFICATION REJECTED ◇

◇ Windi Anenstia's Turn ◇

Hollow Glare, ending a new life.

Open your hands to the fire, these little tiny fliers.

Of demon goes reaching up, there’s plenty of hope;

For you to only cope.

「She kneeled down and grabbed her head, trying to reject the purification of her soul. The crystal Wendigo would fight for her instead and revealed its red crystal claw alongside shards that circled around each one. The creature floated toward the vessel and swung its easily evadable shard before it got in close and swiped at them! 」

「The beast sacrificed one of the claws and uses the other claw to shatter it, getting shard unexpected up close at them! However, just in the nick of time, they dash and rolled onto the ground. 」

◇ Oblivion's Turn ◇

「Standing up, they glanced over that Windi who still on the ground kneeling but the Wendigo still there, glaring at them! Why didn't the purification work on Windi? She simply rejected it and now it got them confused. What's going on!? 」

「They took a deep breath and looked over at the creature and thought of an idea. Maybe they have to get rid of that pseudo-Wendigo! He rushed at them and casted a [Purify] toward the evil beast! 」

◇ Windi Anenstia's Turn ◇

For, my regret.

It’s your own decision of the

Life, that I, taken.

It’s the emotion that’s inside the soul.

「The Wendigo backed off. Magic particles slowly escape from the cloak that started to fade. The creature roared, enraged and chasing after the vessel. They made distance with it, and it started to cast crystal spike from the ground in front of them! They managed to jump to the side maintain a safe distance from the spirit. 」

「As the cloak disappear, the skull fell onto the ground shattering with a huge shard explosion before those little pieces faded into specks of magic to the sky. 」

Endless void, is it true that my heart is so black,

There’s nothing that’s intact.

Why can’t I, rip my soul out and go back in time,

But I’m stuck in autumn slime.

◇ Oblivion's Turn ◇

「Now there's only Windi left... They walked cautiously over to her, seeing that she still hurting on the ground, her skull also seemed to have a large crack as well. Their right glove started to glow white and placed their hand on her shoulder. 」

My head is hurting, it’s burning.

I dread on my own claws, it’s covered in blood,

My own soul now binds, nothing left to find.

Now I’ve taken your mankind.

「A bright white void filled the world. The sight of each other vanished... 」

<> Location <> [WINDI'S MIND SPACE]

[] 67 Years Ago // Broken Autumn Ruins []

「In a very pitch-black place within a part of the ruins that lack the colors and full of thorny vines that overtaken the whole place. A ruin with nothing. No decoration, no light, and no life anywhere. It was a barren dark place with tons of rubbles and broken parts. All collapsed and difficult to navigate through. 」

「Despite all that, there's a person that glowed and lit up the darkness and moving through the harsh ruins of what soon to be full of life and sweetness of maple leaves on the ground. The one in blue flames but without a visor. Eyeless man but could still sense their surroundings and see through the flames. 」

(Past) Etheio: "This place is all wrecked. No wonder nobody lives here." He spoke, traveling to broken corridors to more of those. "There's going to be a lot of work to do. It'll add a neat path from one to the other side. Besides, not like anyone going to use this place regardless." 

「He then noticed a giant boulder ahead of him, blocking his path. Right below him is tree roots which connected to another blocked path, this time with tons of rocks and branches as well as the cold aura emitting from there which dispel from his body. 」

(Past) Etheio: "Hmm? What the hell? What is it cold here?" He walked over to the blocked area and toss each rock out along with burning the roots. "Don't tell me there's a secret place to some ice biome down here!?"

"Huh? What is this?" He found something through digging for a while. Orange substances that were between the gaps of rocks and roots. "Why is it so sticky here."

「Etheio managed to get most of the rubbles out of the way and now there's a trail of slime within the hollow path inside. He went inside, stepping and annoyed by their feet becoming slow due to the ground. It's surprising how hollow and half-intact the inside of this place is. As he continued, they found a certain slime girl resting against a tree trunk that reached up and above the ruins. 」

(Past) Etheio: "A creature of a core here? Is she... Died?" 

「Unsure, he rushed over and goes on his knee, observing and touching her extremely cold body. However due to his fire body, it quickly defrosted her freezing body, not hot enough to burn but enough to turn the slime fluid instead of a sticky or hardened state... And then her eyes opened, bright orange with a hint of red. 」

(Past) Etheio: "Hey... Hey. Hey! You good there?" He now hovered his hands over her and emit some cozy heat for her. "You're stuck here for who knows how long. Whoever you are, please say something so I know you're fine."

(Past) Windi: "P-please let me sleep. I w-want to go back to sleep. Don't wake me up and leave me alone." She then closes her eyes. "I'm really tired..."

(Past) Etheio: "Hey! HEY! Don't sleep on me!" He shouted before calming down and sighed. "

「Etheio stood up and picked up the wendigo slime and moved her out from the dark area and head outside the room. He's going toward back to a safer and more nice ruins known as the Glowing Ruins. His territory isn't so far around from here. The slime girl, Windi, didn't like being picked up while trying to fall back asleep. 」

(Past) Windi: "Why aren't you leaving me back there. Can't I get some rest?..."

(Past) Etheio: "You got enough rest. The ruins you in mind as well be a graveyard if you keep sleeping there. And besides, I don't want a sleeping slime haunting the soon to be mine ruins! Got it!?"

(Past) Windi: "Hmm... Whatever you say." She smiled and cuddled up on his arms, her slime becoming heavy and drooping. 

(Past) Etheio: "UGHH! You!" He stared at her before looking up and blowing smoke then proceed to mumble frustratedly. "Stupid heavy lazy slug. Why am I even hugging this ungrateful orange sludge. So unappreciated!!!"

[] Several Months Later // Glowing Ruins // Etheio's Home []

「Inside Etheio's home contained a fireplace with a dark gray moss-like plant above it that absorbed the smoke. The bed Windi slept on were made from stone with a lot of fur on top of it. At the moment, she is awake, eyes staring at the bland gray ceiling. Etheio was also in the home, sitting on a table and writing on brown paper using a feather pen and glass full of black ink with a slight tint of purple. 」

(Past) Windi: "Heyyyy. Can I have some more of your boiled water. Taste like nothing but it'll soothe me."

(Past) Etheio: "No! I'm busy and you already had one this morning! Shut and go to bed!"

(Past) Windi: "Hmph. You're always so cranky. I thought you wanted to kick me outside and let me sleep someone in the middle of nowhere. Can't you do that, so I don't have bother you anymore. Blehhhh!" She stuck her slimy tongue out.

(Past) Etheio: He stood up and walked toward her with a glare of a blue flaming pupil. "You want that to happen!? I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN! TRY ME!"

(Past) Windi: "Etheio! I was just joking! Let me in peace!" She got picked up. "NOOOO! I want to lay dooooown!"

(Past) Etheio: "Too late!"

[] A Few Years Later // Glowing Ruins []

(Past) Windi: "Etheio, you know what these are? They look so pretty! I never seen them here before."

(Past) Etheio: "That's because you barely go outside." He shook his head and deep sigh. "Those are flowers. The other creature that lives in these ruins and the neighboring ones like those. My favorites are the Bluebells. Same color as I am and shape like my favorite sound of bells in the far distance."

(Past) Windi: "Hehe, when did you get poetic all of the sudden."

(Past) Etheio: "When did you get so active all of the sudden? Thought your whole purpose is to rest in my room and sleep all day long." He chuckled before they both started to laugh. "Let me finish this up. I have a new seed I found. Not sure what it'll grow into, but you'll see it bloom someday soon."

「Etheio dug in the soil and placed in a sunflower seed before covering it up and watering the spot with the green plastic watering can. 」

(Past) Windi: "Can't wait!"

[] A Few Decades Later // Glowing Ruins []

(Past) Windi: "Say, Etheio. Have I ever talked about my past with you. Now that I started to have my own ruins to look after and many new critters began to live there, I realized, all this time, I've just lived the present. But I've been ignoring the past."

(Past) Etheio: "Windi. When I first met you, I didn't care what happened at the past of your life. I know that you were one sleepy stubborn slime. A slime that loves to sleep because that's where the core part. However, looking at you now, you changed a lot after this many years. Stuck in the ruins, ignoring whatever outside of it. Peaceful."

(Past) Windi: "Yeah... But have that ever crossed your mind? Like how I got there in the first place. Why my personality is like that. How I'm slowly changing."

(Past) Etheio: "Nope. Don't care enough to be curious about it." 

(Past) Windi: "Hey! That's mean of you!" She pouted and crossed her arms. "At least you have thought about it at one point in these past decades!"

(Past) Etheio: "Heh, well does it make you feel better that I wonder at least a few times a year." He smirked and before looking ahead, sitting on the edge of the bridge and looking down at the dark void. "Best time to say, what happened before I found you."

(Past) Windi: "...I don't know... It felt as I do remember but it's just an uncomfortable feeling that I tried to avoid. I want to remember myself, but I couldn't. Each year that passes, I started to vivid sight of... I can't tell. It's not a good memory."

(Past) Etheio: "Don't worry about it. Bad memories stinks aways. You should forget all of it and you'll be fine. You're just a slime. Nothing too complex."

(Past) Windi: "What does that supposed to mean? Hmm!?"

(Past) Etheio: "Want me to call you a complicated orange-mango Jello creature? Ms.Sleepy Jello."

(Past) Windi: "Come on! I don't sleep as much anymore!"

[] Time Flys Fast // Glowing Ruins []

(Past) Windi: "It's been half a century since we see each for the first time. Time goes by way too fast as if that's how the world works. Thank goodness we're creature of the core and not human... Human..."

(Past) Etheio: "Something the matter, Windi?" He smiled and gave her a small puzzle piece from the box of a thousand of them.

(Past) Windi: "Nope! I'm good! Just had a weird thought but nothing too bad. I'm just grateful to be still alive and awake to see the ruins thrive." As she spoke, tears form from her eyes, dripping down onto the finished part of the puzzle.

(Past) Etheio: "Hey, hey, don't cry." He dropped the puzzle piece. "Is it about your past again? Let's ignore that. We can something else if you want."

(Past) Windi: "No thanks. I'm good." She rubbed her eyes. "It's just, I can remember a lot of things now. From the start to the middle, a now. Everything is so lovely, and I love it all. Hanging out with you and a few others. I like it this way and I-"

「Etheio reach forward and pull Windi for a hug, his arms wrapped around her tightly as they both now calmly went silent. She closed her eyes and move her arms as well, both now in an embrace. 」

「The world turned white around them and the memories of the past faded. 」

◇ +1% Purity ◇ 100% / 100% Purity ◇

<> Location <> Windi's Peace Garden

「The world became normal with the vessel hugging Windi tightly in a calming silent with the ruin room blooming orange flowers that grew from the cracks of the ground. The glow berries changed colors from neutral white light to orange instead. Tree branch popped out from the ceilings with large amount of yellow, orange, red, and brown leaves magically appearing before a few of them slowly fell down a time, gliding. 」

Windi: "Lil' Cowboy..." The skull on her head had one major crack, now suddenly broke into two pieces and it clanged onto the floor. "I'M SO SORRY!"

「She started sobbing as her arms hugged back, the fireflies around her changed from red to yellow, floating around slowly. 」

Windi: "I'm sorry f-for hurting you. I didn't know what I was thing. I'm so... Sorry... I won't ever do that again."

「As they both hug, a familiar someone slowly made their way downstairs with their hands in their pocket. Silent but noticeable sound of footsteps. Etheio has reached the floor and noticed all the flowers that were blooming. 」

Etheio: "If someone needs to apologize, it's me." He looked down and took off his visor. "I was the one whose been blind. After all these years, I had this hate growing my heart. But I never really thought this hate would affect someone else. I was the stupid one and I'm deeply sorry. To not just Windi..."

"But to you as well, Cowboy. That's what you are right?" He smiled and put back his visor before turning around. 

「The vessel stepped back a bit after Windi's tear has stop. They both looked over at Etheio who had his back turn to them. 」

Etheio: "See you both. I deserve to look at you both again."

「The vessel... Rushing up to him and hugged him as well. This caused Etheio to freeze, on the verge of reacting negatively. However, he stopped himself and accepted as it is, sighing with a smile. Windi stood up and went over to them and gave both a hug. 」

Windi: "If I keep this up, I'm going to become sleepy. It's so warm. I'm really tired..."

Etheio: "...Heh... Hey. Hey... Don't sleep on me..." He chuckled. "You silly slime."

「As so they all embrace each other's present. What past happened in the past and now it's the present. A happy present with everything going back to normal but with a positive outcome. The vessel was content with this. 」

「After a while, Windi led them both through the only path back of the Autumn and Glowing Ruins, through one long dark corridor lit up by Etheio. They all made it to the entrance of the ruins, a few steps away to the outside where the snow is gently falling down, making a thin blanket on the ground. The snow. White and pure. 」

<> Location <> End of the Ruins

「The outside... The fresh air and the real cold snowflakes. The vessel didn't think they made it to the entrance already. 」

Windi: "I wish I could keep you here in the ruins with us. But you're just a kid. Don't you have somewhere to be or someone to meet? A family? I'm really sure someone missed you out there. And if I could go out and travel with you, I would." She kneeled and rested her hand on their head. "I know it's silly that we see each other once again before we have to split ways."

Etheio: "...I hate to say it, but you did a lot today. A lot more than I did for many decades. I can feel it. Her soul purified and lacked the sort of dark past she once has. Whatever it was, glad you can her."

Windi: "Mhm. I'm glad you were to be here. And I have something for you. I can't let you be cold outside so here."

「Windi took off the yellow bandana and the silver amethyst amulet from the vessel and placed it in their pocket. She then created a long cloth scarf from the slime and wrapped it around their neck. It wasn't sticky nor slimy. It was a nice soft cloth created from the appreciation of her soul and heart. 」

[] Windi's Slime Scarf // A Wendigo Slime's scarf made with the appreciation and love. A reminder of her gratitude. // No Increase Stats but the thought that Windi would always be on their journey. []

Windi: "That shall do." She hugged him one more time before standing up and move backward. "I'll remember you forever and I hope you can do the same."

Etheio: "Don't forget about me kiddo." He stepped forward and had a light blue orb on his gloved hand before handing it to them. "Rest that on your heart. It's a gift from me. I don't need some of my power. It's wasted on something dumb anyways."

Windi: "Y-your power?"

Etheio: "Yeah! Don't dive too deep into that. It's only a part of my soul that contains some of my electric abilities. Being a robot and all, he could need some electric to keep himself warm. It's a win for him. And a win for me because I don't feel like hurting anyone else anymore. What was it... Ah... It's a win-win."

「He chuckled and rest his head with his hands on the back on his neck. The vessel nodded and held the fragment of his soul close to their heart. Suddenly, their body pulsate as the fragment merged with their soul, becoming one. The slime scarf began to glow a bit in react for the soul fusion. 」

[] Etheio's Electric Soul // A gift from the man that used to want you died. A gift of helping Windi Anenstia. Eternal Gratitude. // Hitbox Size Reduced by 10%. Maximum Mana increased from 100% to 200%. []

Windi: "We only just met not too long ago and now I have to say goodbye..." She teared up again and wave at the vessel who stood in between of side of the ruins and the outside. "Maybe one day we'll meet again!"

Etheio: "She miss you more than I do. But regardless, goodbye and have a nice travel. I'll make an exception that you're the only Obsirose that I'm willing to say is my friend. Hope you find your way back home. Or at least to wherever you seek."

「The vessel waved, crying as well as they shouted at them, an inaudible sound of "Goodbye!" and both understood well what they're trying to say. Their hands waving at the one who helped them in the beginning... Windi Anenstia. And the one beside here. Etheio. 」

Windi: "SEE YOU AGAIN! LIL' COWBOY!"

「They all waved at the vessel. 」

「The vessel waved to them back. It was goodbye and it's unfortunate they have to leave early but they have a goal to pursue, and this is a great time to journey to the outside ruins. Off to find the CORE! 」

「HERE WE GO! 」

Etheio: "Pfft, accidentally use too much fire. Whatever. Who needs a useless t-shirt anyways. If I don't know what's it's for, who bothers. Although she might end up being mad at me..." He tossed the burnt shirt in the waterfall. "There's plenty of shirts. Who cares if one goes missing. I sure don't want another upset Windi." >:T

"I wonder what new recipes she be cooking. I can't wait to try it out. Also wonder if I should get some wine out too from that old secret cellar." :/

Windi: "Dear Windi, it's been over about a hundred years since I first met you in that forest. I wish I could change the path, but I now realized that's never going to happen. This means I'll try my best to cherish the soul you've given me, despite me taking it by accident. Regardless, it felt as if my body been lifted from the past. I know you still care for me no matter who I am."

Windi: "I felt honored." She could feel the spirit of the real Windi's soul comforting her. "All these years, my heart had weighed down. But it's nice to know it's all in the past and I still remember your words. You have a heart for a folklore creature like me. Now I'll share your heart for everyone."

"I'll visit you again soon, Windi. If someday I were to die, can I see you up there? I would love to meet you again! Hehe~." She stood up, adjusting the flower crown on her head. "Time for me to make that new recipe! Can't disappoint!"

◇ Gratitude for Everyone who made it this far. ◇

Pearl: "Oblivion. You seemed determined about something? How come you do not stay with them?" She spoke as she floated beside the vessel. "Well, wherever you go, whatever you do, I support! How about we go get something to eat or travel to an amusement park! We made it outside so there has to many things to do! Not like you have anything else in mind." :O

"Right? Maybe you do have something in MIND! If only you can talk! Must be hard keeping everything to yourself. I want to know too!" =D

Oblivion: "Thank you, guide. Thanks for being with me till this point. I don't know what's going to happen next, but I hope you stay with me. I can't do this without you. I know it's silly, but I still need hand holding. I don't know nothing about out here. All I know is that you're watching, and I feel hopeful from that." ^-^

◇ ELDER-RAIN CORE ◇

[] Memory 1.7: CORE Realization of Windi Anenstia []

「The area all quite dull with the ceiling emitting hint of yellow lights and the ground revealing bright red glow between the cracks. The vessel sat down, a small distance away from Windi, listening to her voice as she explained herself. 」

Windi: "...I wasn't always like this, the way you see me right now. This is not how I used to be. I wasn't some kind slime wendigo with a cloak and a skull on her shoulder. Long ago, I was only a wendigo. The slime part of me didn't exist until..." She lifted the skull and stood up, staring at it. "...After I've taken a soul."

「The vessel froze as they had a confused yet shocking expression on their face. Windi has taken a soul before?... 」

Windi: "It's so far back then and even after many years, I still unable to forget about the day. I tried my best to discard those memories down some dark void but deep inside, it always come right out to haunt me. I remember it so vividly. The blood on what used to be claws." She glanced over and her hands before turning the skull to point away from her. "I had made a grave mistake back then and I can't rewind back time and fix it..."

「Shadow began to cover the stone walls and the floor as well, only leaving the cracks alone with the red colors seeps out. The ceiling blocked as well before a bright moon appeared above them far away, emitting the radiant moonlight on the both of them. The whole area started to shake as if Windi's emotion is in a spiral. 」

<> Location <> Forest of the Moonlight

「The dark walls started to morph and vision of trees started to appear. More specifically, dark pine trees of a vast inner part of a forest where being lost was easy and predators roamed around, sneaking behind bushes and the silent atmosphere. 」

「The vessel stood up and observed their surroundings, not sure what's going on. It must be the work of her magic that's doing this. But something like this might require a lot of mana. They're unsure but they kept their hearing focused on her. 」

Windi: "When I saw that you were being attacked by Etheio, I saw the memory again. It's been brought to me after I tried to ignore it for so long. My instinct kept on feeling the bloodthirsty killer that I am inside. It wants to take control back, but I gave up. I gave up that feeling. I no longer wanted to go outside. I longer wanted to see blood. I no longer wanted to see myself become a monster."

「Swarms of red fireflies surrounded her. 」

Windi: "But the more I step away, the harder it is to control each time. Please, if you have the chance, I want you to go away. Go into the forest and run. You'll find an exit that led you outside the ruin. I have this feeling that you might need to go out, be among with the other Obsirose and Human. Let the ruin die in peace like it did long time ago."

"Eventually the creature of the core and the Human and their magic machine will continue to harm each other. I don't want to see that happening. I don't to continue where every time those two meet, there's conflict."

"So please. Leave me alone... I want to be left alone. I don't know how long it'll take to calm back then. My head. It's hurting as there's fire setting ablaze my soul. Please, I beg of you. Run away and get out of the ruins."

"Please..."

「Windi wanted to be left alone and she offered the vessel a way out of the ruins. This could mean there's a progression forward a one stop closer to the CORE. All they have to do is leave her alone, go through the forest and they'll be out of here. 」

「This is what she wanted. That is her voice telling them to leave. Would stay and trying to help even make her feel better? This is an opportunity in which they'll have to decide... No, not just them. They're too conflicted with their soul to decide for themselves. They don't know whether they want to help but might make her feel worser or leave and perhaps she'll come to her senses like her usual self. 」

「The CORE is resonating... 」

「Please choose for them. If they remained still for long enough, they would have to face whatever problem bestow upon them. Do you wish to allow the vessel to escape and leave them alone to their own emotion. Or would they stay, trying to help without a voice. 」

◇ [] Escape [] ◇ // ◇ [] Purify [] ◇

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

◇ Option Chosen ◇ [] Escape [] ◇

◇ 「Escape... 」 ◇

「For some reason, they thought they heard someone else. Although perhaps it's their inner mind telling them to "escape". 」

「The vessel nodded and agreed to what she said. They willing to leave her alone and let her take care of herself. A group of trees pushed aside, leaving a trail of dirt for them to go on and follow it to the outside of the ruins. It seemed there might be teleportation magic involved in this if what she said was true. 」

Windi: "Thank you." She smiled, tears flowing out from her eyes. "You're a sweet boy you know. I wish I could've spent more time with you and maybe show you around the ruins. Unfortunate how I can't do that now. I need some alone time and you respected that..."

"Thank you, Lil' Cowboy."

「As the vessel quietly walked to the path given to them, the red fireflies flew away with the wendigo skull now bound to her head. She glanced up at the bright moon, watching the moonlight as she down, silently enjoying it while the light from the sky started to dim and the trees began to lose their green colors, turning red instead. 」

「Windi is no longer crying but it doesn't seem like she'll get out of that trance soon. As the vessel walked further toward what seemed to be a glowing white exit against a cliff wall, the darkness behind them spread and consumed more part of the forest. Soon, the whole forest became gone except for the moon that created a spotlight for her. 」

「When the vessel entered through the light, their eyes shut off to avoid the intensity of the light. Suddenly it became pitch black again... They slowly activated their sight...」

「They found themselves walking through a dark corridor but there seemed to be dim light up ahead. As they continued on, they made it pass the darkness in what seems to be a large singular hallway that span from here perhaps the longest they seen. However, when they glanced over to their right side, there were some sort of light from the outside... The outside... It's really the exit of the ruins. 」

<> Location <> End of the Ruins

「The light must've come from an unknown light source in the sky, strong enough that even it penetrated through the heavy blizzard that is happening at the moment. Small blanket of snow filled the exit. 」

「They walked toward the exit before turning around and glancing at the ruins for one last time. It was quiet. Dead quiet except the sound of wind blowing behind them and snow touching the back of their exposed arms and legs. 」

「Why did they choose to leave Windi alone? They thought it would be for the best of her. However, what about Etheio? He has to realized that she wanted peace by herself. Although, after leaving Windi, they don't want to see Etheio again since they cause a conflict with them for not bring talking some sense into her... If they even could. 」

「Why did they choose to leave Windi alone? They thought it would be for the best of her. However, what about Etheio? He has to realized that she wanted peace by herself. Although, after leaving Windi, they don't want to see Etheio again since they cause a conflict with them for not bring talking some sense into her... If they even could. 」

「...That's what they agreed to... 」

「With no going back, they walked forward into the blizzard, accepting the fact that it leads them outside the ruins and perhaps on a new journey forward. However, with now windy and snowy everything is, it's hard for them to navigate. Their vision blurry and the constant wiping to get the snow off. 」

<> Location <> Outside Ruins

「Once they made it far enough, there seemed to be a chain link fence with an opening for them to go through. It seemed there were also a sign on it, warning them that exploring in the ruins without permission is prohibited. 」

「They went on... 」

「The blizzard began to freeze their body, making them use mana in order to heat up now. The temperature low and their movement sluggish through it all. But with hope, the found a nearby vehicle up ahead which seemed to be a small bus, idling with their lights turned on. They only had a small trip before they make it somewhere perhaps warm and cozy. Or at least away from the snow. 」

「As they got the vehicle, the bus door is open and they stepped inside, coughing and radiating heat from themselves. 」

(Male Voice) ???: "Hey, what's a kid doing in the middle of a snowstorm? Jeez, who left their child out to die like that." The bus driver took the cigarette out of his mouth and got rid of it in an ashtray. He stood up and went to the back and got a blanket of them. "Hey, kid, what's your name?"

「This man. He seemed to be a person made of skin and hair. Is that happened to be a human? His eyes have a little bag and his skin quite pale. Not only that, but his clothes are also a bit ragged and had a thin beard. 」

「The vessel shook their head, accepting the blanket which wrapped around them before they head onto a nearby seat and sit down. 」

(Male Voice) ???: "Tch, can't talk. Poor kid." He yawned and went back on his driver seat. "If you can't talk, I supposed I bring you to the police. They know what to do with you. Oh god, if my girlfriend sees you like this, she'll end up overreacting. So tired. Well, I'll go for one more drive for the evening. It wouldn't hurt."

「The bus started running, the engine growled, and the smoke puffed from the back of the vehicle. It then moved forward, starting a small trip to a police station. 」

「There on out, it's a quite ride with the vessel thinking to themselves. Something feels a bit out of place. It felt as if leaving her wasn't the right choice. They sighed and laid on the long uncomfortable seat, their hands holding onto the silver amethyst amulet. This was from Windi when they had completed a few puzzles to get it. 」

「Tired, they closed their eyes and slowly dose off to bed, falling asleep in the bus... 」

<> Location <> [OBLIVION'S MIND SPACE]

Oblivion: "...Guide..." Nothing else, only him stood in front in the center of pitch darkness. "I don't feel good about this. This goal you mention. Do I really have to reach to the core? I don't like this at all... I heard it. Your voice. I heard it back there. I believed that you made the right decision. I don't know anymore. Something feels so missing. I want to go back. I want to go back there. I want to change my decision."

"I want to change the past."

[] MEMORY DELETED, LOADING AUTOSAVE []

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

◇ Option Chosen ◇ [] Purify [] ◇

◇ 「Purify... 」 ◇

「For some reason, they thought they heard someone else. Although perhaps it's their inner mind telling them to "purify". 」

「The vessel remained persistent in trying to help Windi their way. Their trust dependent on the one that guide them and even Etheio who tried their best to get this far and only leaving up their trust to someone they tried to kill. They looked at her and smiled, not going anywhere and avoid taking this free opportunity to skip all of ruins and be outside right away. 」

「It wouldn't hurt to stop the progress of going to the CORE for just a while. Trying to heal someone's emotional may be more important. If this is the correct option. They have their belief, and they'll stick with it. They're sure Etheio and perhaps some unknown friends of her would've done the same. 」

Windi: "Why are you still standing there? Don't you want to exit these ruins? Don't you want to go home? Don't you have a family. I know you can't speak for yourself, but do you have anything worth going outside for? Please, don't worry about me. I am fine and I can be by myself here. It's a short-term thing. I-I-I can---leave me alone please."

「As much as it hurts to refuse her offer, they shook their head and stood there, reaching their hand out for her. 」

「The red fireflies all flew away from her, revealing a folklore creature, a monster that haunts the forest and the moonlight. The beast with claws and a red eye glare within its large deer skull. Cold air blew from the mouth, and the aura shown its intense emotion of despair and the death that approaches. 」

Windi: "PLEASE GO! I'm a monster. I don't deserve to be alive. I shouldn't be. I'm only just a fake personality. I'm only just a stolen life. A thief!" Cloak shoot upward before calming resting on their body. They were on the ground, slime sticking to the floor and their hands now had bone stuck to them, acting as claws. "I am the WENDIGO. And there's no stopping me from realizing my true nature."

◇ Entering Self-Defense State // THE CORE IS RESONATING ◇

◇ Oblivion's Turn ◇

「The vessel with fear in their eyes, the immense horrid aura emitted from the beast herself, Windi that is no longer that gentle and kind slime girl. Now a tall beast over twice their size with their mind being lost within their skull and cloak. This is no longer Windi but a monster like she claimed to be. 」

「They had the first advantage and decided to [Check] on the creature in front of them! 」

[] Slime Wendigo // The true nature of Windi. The beast that hid inside her traumatized mind. Her soul resonates with the CORE. // Highly Resistant, 50% A.A.P (Average Attack Power) []

[] Passive Skill: Upon reaching 50% Purification, enter Next Phase and restore all Mana for Oblivion. // During this Phase, when Oblivion take damage, her A.A.P is reduced by 10% down to the maximum of 20% and her Resistant goes down slightly. []

「It seemed like she has passives herself. They understood what to do and prepared to dodge her attacks. 」

◇ Slime Wendigo's Turn ◇

Slime Wendigo: "..." She lost herself, unable to speak and now became her original self.

「The Wendigo raised her claws before dashing toward the vessel in a close-range combat. She moved her right and swiped it at them before doubling up with the left one. Despite being quick attacks, the wind from the force made them fear thought they successful avoided the first turn with her. 」

◇ Oblivion's Turn ◇

「Oblivion raised their hand just like her but instead of attacking, it's a [Purify]! The flash caused the monster to growl, emitting more cold air from her mouth. If they do it enough time, it shall somewhat tame the beast. Unlike Etheio, she has less resistant to their purification unlike him. Keep it up! 」

◇ +10% Purity ◇ 10% / 100% Purity ◇

◇ Slime Wendigo's Turn ◇

「The Wendigo roared before her claws glowed bright red, matching the color of the fireflies. Her eyes illuminated even more as when she moves, trails of light appeared. She went left and right, dashing before it charged in and double claw toward the vessel. However, they managed to dodge it just in time! 」

「However, they didn't expect her to dash once more and perform the same move, only slightly faster! Her claws slashed at the vessel, causing a huge deep cut in their arms and body! All regenerating afterward, consuming half their mana! 」

◇ -50% Mana ◇ 50% / 100% Mana ◇ -10% A.A.P for the Slime Wendigo // -5% Resistant ◇

◇ Oblivion's Turn ◇

「They raised their arm and perform [Purify] again, hoping that they could hold on to a bit longer with only half their mana. She would only deal less than half since she hit them once. They have only two hit to survive left. 」

◇ +15% Purity ◇ 25% / 100% Purity ◇

◇ Slime Wendigo's Turn ◇

「The Wendigo roared even LOUDER! The whole area around them started to shake as the moon shone more light upon her. She swiped her claws at the vessel, creating magic slash projectile in the color of her eyes. The speed of these slashes is abnormally fast! The vessel dodged the first one but then the second one hit them after, sending them onto the ground! 」

◇ -40% Mana ◇ 10% / 100% Mana ◇ -10% A.A.P for the Slime Wendigo // -5% Resistant ◇

◇ Oblivion's Turn ◇

「As their health were low, they had no choice but use an [Item] and the only healing items left are the [Always Fresh Honey Bottle] and the [Green Moss]. However, the moss will permanently reduce their speed until this encounter ends so the honey is currently the best option at the moment. 」

「They consume the [Always Fresh Honey Bottle]! 」

◇ +60% Mana ◇ 70% / 100% Mana ◇ Regenerate 20 Mana per Turn for 3 Turns ◇

◇ Slime Wendigo's Turn ◇

「She dashed toward the vessel, causing them to avoid getting close to her but she swiftly followed up with a double slash projectile when they got a bit farther from her. However, with the dash ability, they made it through with no problem! 」

「As they thought their turn was available, the opportunity has not present itself just yet. The beast circled around them in high speed before stopping and going at toward their side. Just when the vessel dashed and phase through them, the Wendigo spun around and grab, tossing them hard into a nearby tree! 」

◇ -30% Mana ◇ 40% / 100% Mana ◇ -10% A.A.P for the Slime Wendigo // -5% Resistant ◇

◇ Oblivion's Turn ◇

◇ +20% Mana ◇ 60% / 100% Mana ◇ 2 More Regenerations ◇

「They coughed before falling down the tree and back onto their feet. With reaching this far and taking some severe damages on their mana, they ended the first phase with a [Purify] even at a far distance. As long it aimed at the intended target, the effect still works! 」

◇ +25% Purity ◇ 50% / 100% Purity ◇

「The Slime Wendigo calmed down a bit. She paused in the center of this forest, with the nighttime spotlight casting a huge circle over her. The fireflies in within the forest trees started to fly around in a slow pace. Everything became suddenly quiet... 」

「The vessel didn't know what to do. They're afraid to get close but they had a feeling they have to. She isn't fully purified but this has to be some sort of opportunity. They get close and noticed a soft warm aura around them. Their hands reached forward and felt the barrier that's between her and them. 」

「Suddenly their soul started to pulsate before their mind entered into a dark void... 」

<> Location <> [WINDI'S MIND SPACE]

[] 92 Years Ago // Outside Courtyard of an Orphanage []

「A place outside of a large orphanage on the edge of a town fully made and filled with busy humans, the area filled with kids without parents and under the care of multiple caretakers. Since the orphanage is located at the edge, it was very close to a nearby forest, but it seemed blocked off with a metal fence. 」

「There was a girl next to the orphange's walls with a positive smile. She was quite young, around the same height as the vessel and she waved in front of them who was sitting against the wall. 」

「The vessel jolted awake and see the girl in front of them, seeing that the girl had hazel eyes and a red hair, near the tone of orange. Her hands, tan in color and waving right in their face. What is this?... They look familiar to Windi. At least her hairstyle is. 」

(Young Female Voice) ???: "Silly! Wake up! Guess what I found yesterday!" She smiled as she picked him off the ground and stepped back. "You sleep too much. You should go play with me instead! Buuuut, first! I have something to say to you!"

Oblivion: "Windi?" He spoke, realizing he could speak in this world... He looked at their gloved hands and his body but they're still an Obsirose.

(Human) Windi: "Hmm? What is it?" She leaned in with a curious expression.

「The vessel paused for a moment and glanced around, not adjusting to what's going on now. There were other kids, playing with their own friends. And then there's Windi, standing in front them, perhaps a younger version of Windi? That doesn't make sense since she is supposed to be a creature of the core. 」

Oblivion: "Never mind..." He took a deep breath before going along with her. "What is it that you want to tell me?"

(Human) Windi: "So yesterday, I found a group of red fireflies roaming far into the forest over there!" She points at the pine tree forest behind the metal fence. "They were pretty since I never seen them before and I tried to tell the others, but they don't believe in me, saying I'm delusional and lying. I mean, the caretakers never let us go into the forest so of course I'm not telling the truth, hmph!" -~-

Oblivion: "I think you're telling the truth. Red fireflies are real." He spoke the truth as he smiles and glanced over at the forest behind her. "I see them before and they're very red and pretty. They glow in the dark well."

(Human) Windi: "Oh really!?" She giggled as she took his hand and get him over to the fence. "Say, the caretaker isn't outside, so they won't be stopping us. Want to explore in there? I bet we'll find more mystical creatures if we do!"

Oblivion: "I---"

「The vessel mind blanked for a moment, everything turned dark as they held their head with a throbbing headache. 」

[] Nighttime []

(Human) Windi: "Come on! I can't just stand and wait for you." 

「Their sight returned, and they were inside the dark pine forest, glancing around. The sky had a bright full moon shining over them. It seemed that time has passed forward suddenly as if it's sped up to the main part of a memory. 」

「Windi waved over as she started strolling through the forest. The vessel followed behind her, a little farther away but at least she's still in their sight. 」

Oblivion: "Uhm, guide. This is another dream, right? The same one before when I fell asleep. You have to be here, right?" He whispered, hoping that the "Guide" would hear him. 

◇ 「Yes. 」 ◇

Oblivion: "That was voice I heard back there, telling me to purify her. To not abandoned a friend. You're still watching me. I'm not so alone when I explore by my myself." He said as he noticed that Windi gotten far away from him.

「They hurried up to her, catching up to her fast pace. However, they stopped due to Windi standing still and staring the darkness ahead of her. The moonlight still lights up the forest however it also lit up a par of glowing red eyes in the distance. 」

Oblivion: "W-Windi? We should head back. I don't think it's safe to stay out here too long." He spoke all nervous and afraid of the eyes that glared from within.

「Windi did not hear them. Her eyes fixated on the red glow that slowly grew deeper. The ground trembled as the beast of the forest gotten close, more of the creature visible with black fur, sharp claws, and the deer skull it has on. As it got close, there snowflakes coming from the sky, and red fireflies emerging from behind it. 」

Oblivion: "Windi!" He stepped forward and tried to grab her hands but it only phase through. "Windi? Windi!"

(Human) Windi: "There it is. The red fireflies. I wasn't lying at all. And there's something else. A wendigo. It's real..." She stood there and looked at the tall beast that now stood in front of her. "If I had a camera, I would take a picture of you. A fantasy creature from the books coming to life."

「The vessel in a panic stood in front of Windi and tried to get the creature's attention by using [Purify] on it. However, they did not notice them as if they weren't real. 」

(Human) Windi: "W-what are you doing?" Her eyes turned into fear as she saw the Wendigo's arm raised up high.

Oblivion: "Windi! Run away!" He too was afraid for her, standing in front in hope of blocking the attack...

「The beast's arm phase through the vessel, their whole body moving passed them and instead had clawed Windi. They turned around and could see the back of the Wendigo. Their body froze, trying to process what happened but with the creature blocking the way, it was difficult to make out with it. Their vision started to be blurry. 」

(Human) Windi: "..." There was no shouting or panic. "...I don't know what to expect. This hurts, my body, it stings. I forgot that wild beast could attack. I'm so stupid... But it doesn't matter though..."

「Her footstep went forward, stepping on grass and branches on the ground, heading toward the Wendigo. 」

(Human) Windi: "...I can't feel my arms. But I don't care. Everything doesn't matter for me because... You're real... This feeling of hurt is real and that means you are too. I want to head back and show to the others that a Wendigo attacked me... That would be silly though. They won't believe me regardless."

「The footstep stopped until the vessel saw her arms wrapped around the leg of the Wendigo. The beast who had lifted its arm again has stopped mid-way. 」

(Human) Windi: "...To be honest, I prefer it this way. Dying by the hand of a creature I believe in... I have no one... No one at all..." She closed her eyes and grasped onto the Wendigo with whatever strength she has. "...No one likes me. I'm just a delusional girl with no dreams, no friends, nothing..."

「She kneeled down, knees on the grass with her head against the fur. 」

(Human) Windi: "...Thank you..."

Oblivion: "W-W-Windi..." Realizing that he couldn't do anything, he started to frown and become upset...

「The whole world vanished and became an endless void. A person stood in front of them. It was the real Windi but instead of being a mindless Slime Wendigo, she only had the skull equipped, staring directly at them. 」

Windi: "That girl that you say. That wasn't me."

Oblivion: "W-what do you mean? I don't understand." He rubbed his eyes, trying to control the despair brewing within him. "That's you, right? She's the same person."

Windi: "No, she is not. I'm not that girl, I'm the other one. I'm that Wendigo. The one who attacked her. I'm that one beast without remorse, going their way to kill anyone. However, I wasn't expecting the real Windi to be appreciative. Why didn't she just run away from me. Why... What a stupid girl..."

Oblivion: "...You're not the real Windi?... I-..."

Windi: "I'm not the real one. Back there when she collapsed and no longer breathing, for some reason, her soul started to resonate with mind. I'm not sure why but I started to feel real thoughts surging in. Not just instinctive mess of a beast. I stared to see the mistake I have caused. The sight of the red guilt I have on my hands..."

"Is this what you wanted to see? The real me and not some Windi persona I have taken for myself. I've taken everything from her. Her sorrow, her loneliness, her soul. Her whole being itself and formed in a shape of her. I'm a fake. An identity thief! I'm nothing but a monster that takes a personality of a human!"

「The void cracked like glass, started to crumble before it fully shattered! 」

<> Location <> Forest of the Moonlight

「This time, the moon started to change its moon phase, going in a circle of revealing light and removing the spotlight. It continued to repeat, slowly changing to each phase. As for the frees, they were set ablaze by ruby fire and the ground having small cracks in them. The whole place is falling apart! 」
