Valerie: Confused, can't bring back that memory They're… swords… my swords… but, I don't even have swords… do I?
Valerie: Confused, can't bring back that memory They're… swords… my swords… but, I don't even have swords… do I?
Nori: shrugs don't look at me, im even more clueless than you are.
Valerie: Picks up the swords, then picks up the sword belt/bandolier and sword sheathes that are nearby and puts them on, putting the longer sword on her back and the shorter one on her hip; the swords feel right somehow, like they were made for her; they were I- I'm not exactly sure how that's possible, but okay.
Nori: watches the whole thing in awe, nothing but confused the whole time. h-how?
Valerie: Sighing I- I really, truly don't know, Nori… Gets another flash of memory; she's going to the mountains now, holding… a shield? And armor. Nori's. She needs to get them there, now- she pulls herself out of the memory then, stunned W- we need to go to the mountains… we'll find some of your stuff there…
Nori: points at himself. me? -my- stuff?? his eyes widen as he crosses his arms, staring at the ground. Then, he sees it. The mountains. The armor. yeah. We need to go…
Valerie: Takes off, intent on reaching the mountains, her mind laser-focused on her destination, just like in the memory, except instead of hiding asnwers, she's finding them
Nori: follows, rolling through the thick air, wanting nothing but to find what was hidden. What was forgotten.
Valerie: Within a matter of hours, they're at the mountains, their misty peaks piercing the veil of clouds and snow We're here. Only a little further.
Nori: flies tirelessly, fueled by the hope that he will know what he is, who he is. o-okay
Valerie: Circling, starts descending slowly, looking for a specific place; eventually, she spots it and lands there, looking at the now crystallized shield and armor These are yours, Nori… a piece of the past…
Nori: Lands slowly, tucking in his wings. No… How could it…? But another flash of memory and he simply couldn't doubt any longer. Yeah. I, I remember those
Valerie: Picks up the helmet, examines it; another flash of memory, this helmet, laying on the ground, forgotten; a crumpled form not far away Oh- oh gods… Nori… I- I-…
Nori: suddenly nervous, getting almost the same feeling of dread. w-what is it? what happened?
Valerie: Wordlessly turns the helmet I- I think I know how I used to know you- I- I'm not sure, but I think we were both angels in the Legion of Light… I think you died…
Nori: …..what??
Valerie: Takes a deep breath F- from what I'm piecing together from the memories, it seems like you and me were angels. And we were in a war… you died… and I was upset… I hid your armor for when you were reincarnated, and waited… eventually, I lost hope… and I think I fell down from heaven… and I'm human now… like you…
Nori: shaking his head. N-no. Im just some normal kid, well normal is the wrong word… But I cant… that doesn't… how? I-I starts backing up, panicking
Valerie: Panicking herself You think this makes any more sense to me? I'm just as confused and stunned and in denial about it as you are. But we have physical proof of it. My swords, my rings, your shield, your armor… what more do we need?
Nori: getting more nervous. That's not proof!! these are just.. this is garbage!! This doesn't mean anything!!
Valerie: Sighing, she walks up and taps her own and Nori's head, not knowing what she's doing; suddenly, the full force of her memories hits her, and she physically staggers, clutching her head Gods damn it! That was unexpected…
Nori: curls into a ball, breathing quickly. W-what? I can… oh my god…
Valerie: Stunned, she gasps out the words: Now do you get it? This isn't fake, or a cosmic joke… this is real… these swords? She unsheathes them both, and runs them both across her forearm, each blade barely touching the skin and cutting her Real as you and me. This shield? She picks it up, holding it in one hand Real. Don't you get it, Nori? This is who we are. This is what we are meant to be.
Nori: no!! No! I’m just some antisocial Asian kid!! I’m not a… the memories convince him otherwise, fear rolling down his face. it’s true. It’s all true. It is
Valerie: Stunned, she collapses to her knees Oh my gods… It finally fully computes with her, and she just sits there silent
