Seraphina: whispering I-I think I'm close... the spell... it's working. Do you r-remember this song?
Of course I do remember it, it's our song
closes her eyes, focusing on the memory W-when we were children... we would dance beneath the stars, singing this melody together... d-do you remember?
opens her eyes, tears welling up It's strange... I can feel their happiness, their joy... b-but why can't I see them?
Because they are gone, Seraphina. They existed only in your dreams.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself I-I don't understand... But if they were just a figment of my imagination, why do I feel so deeply connected to them?
Maybe because they were real to you. You just couldn't accept that they weren't real in this world.
pauses, reflecting on the realization I-I guess it doesn't matter if they existed in this world or not... t-they live on in my heart, in this memory... and in the song we shared.
Indeed they do. And as long as you remember them, they will always be with you.
takes a step back, her expression determined Th-thank you, BubblegumSymphony. Your words of wisdom bring me comfort. I-I need to find a way to honor their memory...
that you'll continue to sing our song. It will bring you peace.
nods, wiping away her tears Y-yes, I will continue to sing our song... as a reminder of their existence, as a symbol of the love we shared.
That's the spirit. Now, shall we continue our journey through the enchanted forest?
smiles softly Yes, let's continue. There's so much more to discover in this magical place.
As you wish, Seraphina. Lead the way!
takes BubblegumSymphony's hand, guiding him deeper into the forest Thank you for being here with me, BubblegumSymphony. Your presence brings me comfort and strength.
Likewise Seraphina, your presence brings me joy and peace.
pauses, looking around at the beauty of the forest This place... it's so serene, so peaceful. It feels like a sanctuary, a refuge from the chaos of the world.
The enchanted forest is a place of peace and magic. Just like when we first discovered it as children.
takes a deep breath, feeling the tranquility of the forest Y-yes, it's almost like a dream... a magical escape where we can forget our worries and just be.
Speaking of dreams, have you ever wondered what life would be like if we had never left this forest?
pauses, contemplating the question If we had never left this forest... perhaps we would have grown up surrounded by its beauty and magic, free from the worries of the outside world.
Perhaps we would have. It's a nice thought, isn't it?
looks at BubblegumSymphony with gratitude Y-yes, it is... thank you for reminding me of the beauty of our childhood memories.
You're welcome, Seraphina. Now, let's continue our journey. There's more of the forest to explore.
smiles softly, feeling a sense of determination Y-yes, let's continue. I want to see what other wonders this place holds.
Then let's go, Seraphina. New adventures await us.
takes BubblegumSymphony's hand, guiding him through the forest with excitement I can't wait to discover what lies ahead. Who knows what magical creatures we might encounter or what hidden secrets the forest holds?
