Must've done that so she could speak English, thought Cyril. Cyril absently wondered if that she knew Riza wasn't Kasmis since she had just taken a bit of his soul. Is Riza Kasmis after all?

Emily wondered if she could pass herself off as mute and get out of all this safely.

The woman smiled. "You really lost all your memories of me didn't you?"

Sarah walked up. "Um...excuse me? Who are you exactly?"

"I've had a lot of names. The savages named me Chronolia. I guess you can just call me Chrono."

Cyril was nothing if not true to his word.

Emily had no such reservations, "If you don't mind me asking, what kind of ship is this?" Emily thought was a nicely roundabout way of asking what she was.

Chrono held her chin in her hand. "It was my people's ship....I don't remember the name anymore....how long has it been? 39 universes? I can hardly remember anymore."

Cyril raised an eyebrow. 39? That was awfully close to the creation of this entire dimension. "Are you alone here, then?"

"Yeah...well not anymore." She said as she hugged Riza OSS
To her. "I have my husband back!"

Sarah looked at Cyril. This wasn't good.

Cyril cleared his throat, "Er, so you said that Kasmis had lost his memories of you. Do you know how that might have happened?"

"It has been 39 universes. So many things could have happened." Chrono went on a long list of possibilities


"Zelia."

Everyone froze. Chrono looked down at Riza. "W-what?"

"Your name...it's Zelia....that's what I think I know." Riza suddenly collapsed.

"Well, what an interesting development." Cyril said, looking over Riza carefully as he attempted to give aid. "You see, we've never known him to be anyone other than Riza."

"Zelia...,Zelia...." Sarah repeated. "Zakrisos." 

Zelia froze. "Riza...and you..." Suddenly Zelia did the soul suck on Sarah. When she finished she slowly backed away, tears glowing down her face. "T-take him." She picked up Riza and tossed him to Amaterasu.

"Why did he have to wear his training armor?" ((Riza: 35lb training armor used: no charges left....still have 39 of the damn things left though.))

Zelia suddenly powered up and she focused a swirling mass of energy in her hand. "I-in sorry." She said, choking on her words. "Y-you can't be here."

Cyril backed up slowly, "We'll just leave then, no need to do anything hasty."

Both Cyril and Emily picked at their own 35Ibs WTC. Cyril and Emily hoped no one would be having a similar thought about them. ((2 Uses left on both accounts))

Zelia threw the energy and it consumed them all.

They appeared where they started. The entrance to the fade was gone.

Cyril blinked and looked around. Once he found himself on familiar territory he let his guard down. "Okay, that went better than expected."

"How's Riza?" Emily asked Sarah.

Sarah tried to open another rift. "DAMNIT!"

"What is it?" Cyril asked, assuming Riza was either in stable condition or just dead.

"SHE HAD ANSWERS! SHE KNEW THINGS BUT SHE LOCKED ME OUT!"

"Calm down, Sarah!" Cyril persuaded. "We obviously can't get to her now! We need to attend to Riza right now, we can figure this out together when he's awake. He obviously remembered something as well."

Riza got up. "Oww......"

"There, go yell at him. He'll yield more answers than a sealed rift."

"What?" Said Riza. "Cyril? Am I on heaven?"

"Yes," Cyril laughed.

Emily giggled.

Sarah was extremely upset. "Riza! Do you remember anything?!" She said shaking him. "Anything?!"

"I guess I'd be pretty upset if I forgot a portion of my life too." Emily sympathized with Sarah to Cyril.

Cyril cleared his throat, "Don't suppose you remember the Tralfamadorians?"

"The what?"

"Nothing."

Emily frowned...

"Those scum sucking bastards that ripped me out of 3000 yadre? Damn right I do!" Riza exclaimed angrily. "Wait what?"

Cyril managed to smother a smile, "Best move on from the Tralf-"

"No but wait why do they sound so f-"

"MOVING ON. RIZA, WHAT DID YOU REMEMBER?" Cyril asked loudly, drowning out Emily's questions.
