The Choice is all yours

Amber || She/her || The New High Queen and the Current Ruler of the Old World

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[The Palace has been fogged up by Void Mist, though the Archives remained untouched. The whole family is hiding there, in fear that their new Queen has been inflicted by the Curse]

[The mist would continue to thicken, and slowly drained Amber's powers from time to time. And this gave a certain someone an opportunity to puppet the Queen. Since it's too misty, Clarity wouldn't be able to see her now, despite being close to the Queen]

[Unfortunately for all of them, she has fallen victim to the Puppeteer...]

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[Amber has been sitting on her throne for a while now, staring Into space. But she looks rather... unwell; Pale and faint.]

[Despite the Curse, she is missing someone's presence: Alex. Things have gotten lonely for her, with the price of her heart being slowly tainted by the Abyssal Curse.]

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[Seems like the fight has tired both Amber and... Decessus..?]

[Decessus is not responding... there's blood surrounding her... no... it can't be... did Amber do this to her..?]

[And as for Amber, she's currently kneeling down onto the ground, holding onto her Abyssal staff whilst crying. Has she intended to hurt her sister again? Is this the right thing for her to do?]

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[Amber is now holding onto her sister’s body, shaking violently while say “I’m sorry” and “I didn’t mean to...” repeatedly]

[The Curse hit her sister rather well...]

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[Decessus is not responding... there's blood surrounding her... no... it can't be... did Amber do this to her..?]

[And as for Amber, she's currently kneeling down onto the ground, holding onto her Abyssal staff whilst crying. Has she intended to hurt her sister again? Is this the right thing for her to do?]

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[Other than the destruction going on, two sisters are recklessly fighting, likely creating more destruction along the way.]

[Amber, driven to the Abyssal Curse's powers, is now shooting a volley of fire and electricity to Decessus, but Decesssus managed to avoid them and sent down Shards towards her]

Sis! Snap out of it!

No... YOU did this to me! After everything I've done for you, you decide to Curse me as repayment?!

YOU ARE WRONG! I WAS ONLY TRYING TO PROTECT YOU! I THOUGHT OUR GRANDFATHER CAN HELP, BUT HE DIDN'T!

[Amber refuses to believe this, she sends more fire to Decessus, which caused Decessus to fly back and hit a nearby wall...]

[This will likely continue for a few more hours...]

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[The world is being destroyed by the Abyssals within a day... lead by their "Queen"... Amber...]

[She's using her Staff to summon spikes here and there. Scarier enough, an Abyssal Aura is making her magic stronger...]

[But be careful.... She's in her Wrath State!]

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

Oh sister... I wish you could forgive me...

But the Curse will forever remain in my heart...

I wish I could save you from it...

But I'll stay in the Abyss forever...

I deserve the worst.... not you...

I deserve more of the punishment... I've hurt so many people...

Alex would be worried for you...

Nothing matters anymore... I'm slipping away from the Light...

This... is all my fault...

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[The once Happy Kingdom was fallen into chaos once more when the sky turned dark. Without its Queen, the Kingdom will fall down. Forever]

[Decessus seems to have split up to go on her separate path, knowing that she'll be more doomed if they knew that she was responsible for this mess....]

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[Decessus has lost her way in the Forest, but she’s... calm about. It’s likely because no one would find her anyways...]

[She’d sit under one of the trees and suddenly broke down crying. How could she have known that this was going to happen to her sister?! All the thoughts of everyone knowing the truth could have her gone. If not, then it’s her leaving the Kingdom forever, or this Plot Book....]

[And for Amber... she’s not going too well either... and she even hasn’t got off of the Abyssal Throne either... she looks faint and weak, all because of the curse slowly draining her powers...]

[Who knows what’ll happen to the entire Floralis Family...]

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[The once Happy Kingdom was fallen into chaos once more when the sky turned dark. Without its Queen, the Kingdom will fall down. Forever]

[Decessus seems to have split up to go on her separate path, knowing that she'll be more doomed if they knew that she was responsible for this mess....]

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[Seems like Amber is sitting on her Abyssal Throne, staring off into space. She just wants the curse gone, and to come back home to her own Kingdom... her husband, Alex and her children... they would be worried sick to where she ran off to again...]

[Her loyal servants would look at her, but Amber would refuse to look at them.]

My Queen.... you should smile some more...

[Silence...]

Lady Amber...? Are you alright...?

[A low "I want to go home" is heard]

But... this is your home... your real home...

No... you're wrong... I was cursed to be here.... this isn't my home... its too much Void for me....

[And within the next few minutes, everyone has gone silent. The Abyssals aren't talkative huh?]

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[Decessus, who's adventure was short, was sitting with the rest of her family, trying to figure out why Amber was cursed and who was responsible. But Decessus... she was feeling a bit uneasy, before standing up, making everyone look at her]

I... I did it...

[A few cups would be dropped on the table, no one even caring about the content's stains...]

Decessus... why would you do such a thing...?

I thought Grandfather promised to help protect her, but he didn't! He lied to me!

...And this is why you shouldn't get involved with my parents sweetheart....

Celarum....

....

[Amaryllis cleared her throat]

Get the Guards.... we're all going down to the Abyss....

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[Looks like Amber gave herself good reasons to flee far away from her own Kingdom... Her heart is so close to being consumed by... not Void Magic or Oblivion Magic... Abyssal Magic...]

[Shadows seem to surround her, giggling and laughing at her every ounce of energy, struggling about, trying to counter the more powerful dark Magic.]

[But... it failed... she's given up... she would be dragged down into the depths of the Abyss...]

[But fortunately, the Family knew that something was off in the First Place... and are telling the whole kingdom to stay indoors until things are sorted... which will take a while...]

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[Amber was nowhere to be seen around the Palace once again!]

[She's taking another stroll in a Forest alone, though she seems to be a little stressed out. Ever since becoming the Queen, she's been doing so many busywork to the point where she couldn't do the things she loved the most!]

[Unfortunately, she didn't leave a trail of ice behind...]

[She's very far from the Kingdom's borders now...]

[She would stop and sit down, playing with her own magic, though it's showing most of her past... the past where she used to socialise with her friends and family.... but now? She's lost her old friends, all because of betraying them....]

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[It’s been minutes now, and Amber is staring off into space]

[Not really staring off into space... she’s holding onto her own soul. Tears would appear in her eyes... because her soul was slowly consumed by darkness...]

[Long story short, she was cursed when she was born, and the only way to remove it was unknown... if it was fully consumed, she would be dragged down to the Void. Forever]

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[Amber...]

[She's just sitting outside, staring into the distance, watching the flower petals dance through the wind. It's now Spring in Valestrum and everyone is pretty content at this point]

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[Amber is currently looking after her newly adopted daughter, Symphony, who is currently asleep and cradled in her arms]

[While doing that, she's also writing some notes down on a piece of paper. She must be writing a letter to Decessus, despite her sister being gone for a day or so.]

[So far so good!]

[the-crosstown-protagonist]

[Decessus is by the entrance of the Palace, carrying a small satchel. She must be going somewhere! An adventure perhaps?]

[Amber has rushed down the stairs to bid farewell to her sister, of course, along with a big hug.]

Take care, sister!

You too, Amber... I hope to come back and bring some cool things to show! And even tell stories!

[Amber chuckled]

Aw shucks! You don't need to! But I won't force you not to show and tell! I'm sure the kids will be interested!

[And speaking of the children, they ran towards their Godmother (aka Decessus) and gave her a farewell hug before running back to play again]

[Amber would look at Decessus, a sorrowful sparkle in her eyes]

Please... be careful out there...

I will... I promise you, dear sister...

[They have each other one last hug before Decessus took off.]

[What a peaceful start... A peaceful start of the Bright Future!]
