Question after question filled the frigid air, and
CALYREX deigned to answer — most. He said little of substance in
BARNABY FINCH's estimation, besides glimpses of information about a Skeleton and Black Knight.
Their fight brought forth the Darkest Day...[break][break]
The stipulation for their departure from this memory caught his attention, too. Creating stories that awaken the hero dog? Whatever that meant, Barnaby figured he'd find out once he'd chosen a Galar city to teleport to.[break][break]
And that decision rested solely on
Caleb Harcourt.[break][break]
He'd been watching the ranger as all the commotion with
CALYREX unfolded. Observed his body language, listened to his question, and judged it for its inherent vapidness in the face of much more pressing concerns.[break][break]
"How do I forgive myself for all of the terrible things I've done?"
[break]
What a waste. And yet he found solace in
CALYREX's answer.[break][break]
"Thank you... for believing in me."
[break]
Such a naïve man-child. Barnaby found himself wanting to quash
Caleb Harcourt's earnest spirit. For now, however, he'd simply continue to keep an eye on
Zev Harcourt's younger brother.[break][break]
He and several others, including
ana fell and
Isaac Merlo, helped erect a burial mound for
CALYREX — a makeshift remembrance to the memory of a cursed king. To the
ROCKET admin, their show of pity for a poisoned reminiscence was just...[break][break]
Foolhardy sentimentality. [break][break]
But it mattered little to him. Soon enough, they finished making peace with the fallen king and warped within the beam of light leading to
MOTOSTOKE. Barnaby would do the same, but held back with
Elisabeth Fiorelli and didn't announce his choice over comms. [break][break]
"
I'll accompany you, Viper." He lurked in the shadow of
ROCKET's newest Avatar. If she could rein in her overbearing resentment, perhaps she'd prove useful in his schemes to come.[break][break]
