"Till we meet again, Kapatcir."

As the boy sang his last note, a somber tone encompasses Tsurumi island. Slowly, his dying breath merges with the cold wind and leaving the last evidence of life in the desolated altar. And yet, despite of it all, Ruu wishes to see the world beyond the fog, and the wonders that lies in its lands. The heaven cast its gaze upon him for the last time. The wind took the last ounce of sound with it, leaving the island in a deafening silence. It stayed that way for what it seems like eternity, is until the pinion glows once more. From the gloomy fog, his form slowly emerged back to life, feather at hand.

The last gust of wind brushes against his cheek, as Kapatcir the thunderbird bid her silent farewell to him. Then, a bright light burst in the island, as the boy slowly manifests back to life. With his new flesh, he stumbled on his footing and his knees dropped to the ground. He looked at you with founded hope in his dull eyes, as he slowly catches his breath.

"A thousand thanks won't be enough to repay you. How about I join you on your journey instead?"
