A New Home

Yulia stares at her home through the portal. She thinks of all the friends waiting for her back home that she'll never see again if she stays here, but at least they wouldn't miss her and they'd get back the person she was... The person they knew.

"I'll stay in the Tower. Send her back home to heal my world," Yulia says in a resigned voice. She'll miss her world, but at least she knows it will be safe and the people she cares about will be okay. The other her suddenly goes rigid and turns away, walking into the portal which vanishes as soon as she's through.

The dark void left behind fills with light blinding her and then, she feels hands around her and sees Cherchiel hugging her gently. She's back with her friends.

"What happened?" Cherchiel asks and Yulia opens her mouth to speak, but then shakes her head.

"My world is saved, but... I'm staying here," she says hugging Cherchiel back.

"Are you sure? What about your life back there?" Maple asks and Yulia hesitates before responding.

"They'll be fine. I'll explain what I can later, but for now... I'd like to rest. Maple do you mind if we head to Iralia with you. I'd like to see how the city is coming along and it seems like a good place to stay at least for a bit before I decide where I'd like to settle permanently in the Tower," Yulia asks.

Maple nods, "I don't mind..." she says.

Quincy suddenly appears with Sally, "I said I'd give your roboslut back after you finished the tower," he says reluctantly and tosses her forward. She stumbles and Maple catches her. Quincy vanishes immediately after. Sally is soaked with cum from head to toe and her body is shaking. She's clearly been through a lot. Maple gently hugs her and pats her hair.

"Yeah... Back to Iralia for now," Maple says angrily and then mutters something under her breath. "Someday he'll pay for this... For all of this..."

The Tower magic has gone and as they walk back they find the Tower more properly set up. A simple set of stairs take them down to the ground floor and upon exiting the Tower the full map lays before them.

"From now on... We can go anywhere... See anything. The Tower is ours to explore and maybe when the next Chosen comes... We'll be able to help them," Yulia says with a smile.

The view of the group disappears then as a game over screen pops up in the view of the Voices.

"Congratulations on successfully guiding the Chosen to victory. We hope you will return to help the next chosen." the screen says. "For now though a quick view of everything you've done," the screen says.

The view switches to the desert lands. The Wasps patrol the desert. The Tarantulas have formed a relatively safe place of their own, hidden underground. Tarantulas scurry quickly across the desert sands when **** to the surface, **** to avoid the eyes in the sky. The Scorpions have been almost completely wiped out. In the Hive many scorpions are trapped used as breeders by the Wasps. A small band of scorpions still exist free though, acting as bandits, ambushing travelers in the desert for resources and enacting vengeance on any wasps they manage to capture.

The Hungry Sands remains in operation, a scourge on the desert.

The Naga and Lamia are still going, the curse gone, but it's clear they're struggling a bit without their mother's guidance.

The Tomb continues it's operations. The Desert Mother living in the ritual chamber as the Fangs did before. Paying with her blood for their continued hosting of her. It's not too bad a life and a mostly mutually beneficial relationship.

In Iralia Maple has returned to work with Sally. The city is still being rebuilt and Del remains in his tube. Maple knows she should let him out, but can't bring herself to do so. Sally and her both do the best they can for the city while trying not to feel guilty and trying to find some way to save him. Sally has clearly also been affected by her time with Quincy. She's developed an insatiable lust that has addled her mind. As per her old body she has taken to working as a prostitute to satisfy herself, of course with no one knowing who she really is. The citizens of Iralia still resent her and they are of the belief that she was fully deleted by the Chosen with Maple's help.

In Calumia, Lri has returned to help the people rebuild. An uneasy truce exists now between the Sirens, Mermaids and Sahuagin. New leaders exist, Lri having rejected an offer to serve as the new leader of the Sirens, intent instead to serve as a diplomat between all three. The three are in open diplomatic talks with each other, but it is still a frosty peace.

In The Tower Below Malia has taken control of the realm of Lust fully and the Abyss is searching for a replacement Archdemon of Gifts now that Dahlia has... Mysteriously disappeared. Her empire still functions in her absence though, filling the tower with cursed items.

In the Depths, the effects of the removal of the Old Mind and the Mindflayers has had a massively beneficial effect on the Depths. The Dwarves, Drow and Driders work together in peace building up their civilization. Liloth continues to hide in the shadows, working to safeguard this peace. Alide has returned to the depths, taking up a more permanent role as a serving girl in the strip club.

In the Forest, the elves have prospered with the demise of Ash and while the relationship with the goblins is still strained Goma and Isalia are working to at least mildly broker peace between the two. Of course Isalia being a Drow does not help and the Elves are clearly aggressive towards her, but even so they've made some strides towards peace. Their child grows steadily. The only male in the Goblin camp, the goblins fawn over him and he has become something of a child of the whole group. Magritte herself even often spending time taking care of him while Isalia and Goma are busy. He is the pride and joy of the Goblins and as he's grown, he's begun to grow tiny angelic wings on his back.

The Tower Above remains entirely unchanged. A new angel has replaced Cherchiel's post. Lemiel has returned to service and is given a place of honor for her work alongside the Chosen and for simply being one of very few angels to have ever traveled to the Tower Below and lived.

Yulia, Cherchiel, Dahlia, Beck and Talwa all with nowhere to return to continue to travel the tower. Helping people as they can. They return to Calumia, Iralia, the desert and the depths on occasion to see their friends and to help out, but for the most part they simply travel around helping people. Yulia enjoying seeing parts of the Tower she never got to before now that the whole tower has opened up to her.

Back in her old world, Yulia exited the tower with no memory of her time in there and returned back to her life. With her though she carried a vaccine that could prevent the plague and the Church quickly spread the vaccine. The plague was stopped and while there was no saving some who had already contracted the plague, the vaccine did still save the world, keeping all those still uninfected from contracting it and eventually wiping it out completely. Yulia continued to serve humbly as a healer in the church and eventually entered a relationship with her best friend, a Church Singer named Aria, a childhood friend and long time crush of Yulia's. Yulia's life continued normally until a few decades had past. Her lover was now in her 50's and visibly older, but Yulia still looked the same. She asked the church's leader and he finally explained to her the truth of her origin and that she will not age or die of natural causes. She was shocked, but eventually came to realize this was a gift from Erimalia and she took to her job with renewed vigor. She sat beside Aria as she died of old age the two continuing to be together until the end and then Yulia as the oldest person in the church became the new head of the church and slowly took on a role of being a living legacy of the world. Hundreds of years in the future she still lived, still guided her world and held within her the memories of the past that she had lived through. With her age came many experiences and great wisdom. She became the most powerful healer to have ever lived eventually becoming revered as a living saint of the church and even perhaps an Avatar of Erimalia.

Her story continues onwards, never ending, striving to better the world with each passing day. An ancient benevolent **** guiding her world towards greatness. An Undying Healing and Guiding Light.
