[Endgame: rise or DROWN]

[warpweft]

[How long have you been exploring Nessa's palace now? You've met her family, viewed her memories, learned how to fight as a witch and tried to find the source of her power and the Treasure of her palace: the Voidheart. And along the way, you've tired your best, with mixed success, to avoid the incarnation of her eldest cousin and the representation of her trauma and fear, the Nightmare of Esmau.]

[Wherever you are in the Palace right now, you feel the ground briefly shake under your feet. Little shakes here and there haven't been out of the ordinary - Esmau is trying to blow the place down to the studs, after all. But that felt different. That felt....worse.]

[Your phone beeps as you receive a message.]

[oh god damn it]

[at least Akira is quick on his feet. he drops to the ground when the bubble vanished and lands adeptly on his feet, immediately jolting to Caesar to heal him, too]

[gravitonn]

Shit...shit.

[He holds his hand over his shoulder as Akira heals him.]

She got it...we gotta tell Agnis and Shadow Nessa what happened...

[drops his hands once the spell is done, setting his jaw tightly as he does so]

We need to get the Voidheart back.

[gravitonn]

She was invincible already. Now she and Lilith have the Voidheart...

[He slams a hand against his own head.]

Shit. What do we even do to get it back....!

[survivaltricks]

No one is invincible. But if we can't take her in a fight. . .

[lifts his chin]

Then we just outsmart her and steal it back instead.

[gravitonn]

Ha....

Shit. If it was a heist, I'd be all over it.

[survivaltricks]

[claps his hands!]

Then let's turn it into a heist.
