If people have been wondering where I've been, I've been out doing a pilgrimage of some kind to get my thoughts even and all that junk.

Um, Hana? Can we talk soon?

Looks like he was sent home. At least he's in a safer place now.

Nngh... I still have to save Shichiyou. This has gone on for too long.

[...]

He'll forgive me, won't he? He'll be happier, right?

[...]

No, Hoshi, that's wishful thinking.

So, then why haven't I just got it over and done with? Am I scared of what may result from it?

[...]

That's silly. I've come this far, haven't I? I can't just throw in the towel this early. I've got to see this whole thing through.

Grandfather, my family... I will save him. I just... I have to. It's my duty as the Light.

Seems a lot easier said than done, huh...?

Pilgrimage? Isn't that like a religious thing or something?

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Kinda! I could have chosen to go to Hell for a little bit, but I didn't wanna do that, so I chose the pilgrimage!

[klutzy-maiden.livejournal.com]

Oh! You went on a pilgrimage, Hoshi? A know a few who went on Pilgrimages back in my world.

[drillsforhands.livejournal.com]

Considering we're already kinda in hell already... That seems kind dumb, Hoshi.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh! I go on them sometimes back home, 'cause of my position and all.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

A little, but I feel much better now!

[klutzy-maiden.livejournal.com]

As the Chosen, I wasn't allowed to go far outside my village until it was time to regenerate the world. But a lot of Fathers that I knew went on a pilgrimage.

[drillsforhands.livejournal.com]

Couldn't you feel better without doing something like that? Or is this some weird human thing?

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

I see! I'm, haha... I'm actually royalty back home, being the High Priestess and all, but my family let me go on them when I had to get stronger. Everyone who wants to do them usually come back a lot more enlightened!

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Some weird human thing like always!

[klutzy-maiden.livejournal.com]

Really? Wow! You remind me of my friend Zelos, who went back home a little bit ago. He was a Chosen like me, but unlike me, he was also royalty. I don't know if he went on Pilgrimages though. I don't think Tethe'alla had that sort of thing.

[drillsforhands.livejournal.com]

Blegh, it still seems pointlessly silly to me.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I don't like to say it that much, 'cause it makes me kinda superior to others and that's not nice, since I wanna be like everyone else! And, ooooh, I see.

Wanna tell me more about your world, Colette?

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Oh, lighten up a little!

[drillsforhands.livejournal.com]

Make me~!

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Fine! When and where?

[badluckbabe.livejournal.com]

A journey of self discovery huh? I had one of those once.

What did you discover?

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

All of my strength to kick ass, take some names and save the day from bad guys, of course!

[pompadourpower.livejournal.com]

It will be nice to have everyone here for the first time since I arrived. With the weather getting colder I was beginning to worry.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Hee, it's like wintertime in America, isn't it, Ryu?

[drillsforhands.livejournal.com]

Can't tell you, cause you're with DATS.

[badluckbabe.livejournal.com]

Feh, you had all that before you left.

Pity about Angel, at least he was thrown back before he hurt anyone.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

... Aww, fiddlesticks.

[pompadourpower.livejournal.com]

Well not that cold yet...but it is very windy in Tetha I've noticed, and it's become bitter in the mornings.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Well, I wanted to find it again!

Yeah, that's true. At least I'll always remember him.
