Well, Anubis certainly has a sense of humor

Blair bowed her head slightly to Anubis and said. "Thank you, Anubis. I will keep that in mind." He nodded knowingly and said. "Be careful in there. This one is the kind of threat you won't expect. Just like real ****" She didn't like the sound of that, but well, it wasn't about to change by standing here. She carefully opened the door, but what she saw was not what she was expecting at all. It was very bright, sunny and colorful. A simple meadow without a sound other than the wind rustling the grass. If she had to put it into words, it was like a midsummer's day.

Where was the **** and destruction? The doom and gloom? She asked herself as she stepped inside. However, once both feet were firmly planted on the ground, the door faded from sight and a voice called from several feet behind her. A soft voice, one she couldn't make out clearly, but once she turned around she saw Aisha. She was simply standing there with a simple smile upon her face, awaiting Blair's reply. Blair couldn't believe her eyes. 'Aisha? What is she doing here?', she thought but shook her head. 'No, this isn't Aisha. This isn't real.', she thought before asking. "I'm sorry. I missed what you said. Could you repeat that?"

Aisha giggled before clearly saying. "Thank you for meeting me on such short notice. How have you been?" Blair's eyes watched Aisha's strawberry blonde hair dance in the wind, but soon her eyes began to run along Aisha's lovely form, covered simply in a light green deep v-neck dress that hugged her curves perfectly, exposing an exciting amount of cleavage to Blair when she leaned slightly forward. Blair blinked twice before looking up into Aisha's deep blue eyes and said. "Oh, um, no problem. I have been better, but I'm okay."

Aisha began to pout, moving closer to Blair and asked. "Oh? Why don't you tell me what's bothering you? I am a pretty good listener." She extended a hand out to Blair as she continued to speak. "We have all the time in the world after all." Blair's eyes looked back down to Aisha's ample cleavage before looking back up into Aisha's eyes and said. "I have things to do. I, I can't stay long." Aisha began to pout again, but as she did the wind began to die down and the warmth of this place started to change. Aisha's hand was still extended to Blair as she asked. "Well, perhaps if you tell me about it. I can help you out. Just come closer and whisper it into my ear."

Blair tilted her head slightly, feeling something was off as she said. "I don't think that would be wise. I, I have people counting on me." Aisha slowly lowered her hand and looked slightly down as she said. "Oh? But, you could stay here with me. You don't have to worry about any of that. I can take care of everything, honest. I can prove it if you just give me a chance." Aisha stepped slightly closer, her head raised back up right as the wind did too. However, the air around them grew colder the closer she got to Blair. She smiled and said. "Simply stay with me. Let me hold you and I will make all of that pain and unnecessary responsibility fade away. I promise."

Blair took a step back as she said. "I can't do that." As those words escaped her lips, several new figures stepped out from behind Aisha. Ellinor, Skyler, Nora, and even Lusserina. They spoke one after another as they stepped out. (Ellinor) "I'm fine, Blair. Aisha only wants to help you." (Skyler) "You deserve some rest, let Aisha take care of it." (Nora) "Things are almost done anyway, just relax." (Lusserina) "Just think of it this way. You'll be able to spend more time with us. You just need to let Aisha help you a little."

As they spoke, Aisha was slowly walking closer to Blair and said. "We only want what is best for you, Blair. Sit, stay, and play with us. Don't fight it anymore." She shook her head and stepped back a few more times, but found herself almost stepping over a cliff's edge that hadn't been there earlier. When Blair looked back, she could see a chasm filled with jagged rocks. However, when she looked to Aisha and the others there was a lush field and those she cared for standing in front of her.

A thought ran through her mind as she realized what was going on. This **** was one she never would have expected. In front of her was the **** of her ego, passion, drive, and that of her freedom. This **** was worse than simply dying. This would end the meaning of life to her. However, the **** behind her would simply end things. Would she simply let this stand? No, she couldn't let anyone stand in her way of life and freedom. She knew they weren't real, but as each one drew closer with Aisha.

Blair knew what she had to do. She cast Phase Shift and quickly ran through them. - 25 Mp As soon as it faded she turned around and kicked Lusserina's back, sending them all over the cliff's edge and into the chasm. She knew it was coming, but the moment their screams hit her eardrums, she felt an odd sense of relief that she hadn't expected. As this feeling slipped through her, this reality faded from her eyes. That sinister laughter returned before the voice said. "Ah, good. You are almost ready."

When her vision returned, she found herself sitting in front of Yoshito like before, but he was simply watching her this time. A warm smile appeared upon his lips when her eyes met his as he said. "I see. Welcome back, Blair." She had several notifications awaiting her and oddly enough, she felt a soft object in between her breasts, but just what was it?

What was this soft object? Did she gain any new power? Why did that voice say that?
