Teeth chattering So cold... You can feel this too?
eyes widen Acksworl?! You...you can see me? Talk to me? I thought I was alone in this...frozen hell. she shivers uncontrollably
maybe this is what happens when gods die? my voice sounds out over the microphone
takes a step closer, her voice barely above a whisper What do you mean, "when gods die"? Are you saying...you died too?
grabs Acksworl's arm, her grip tight How could you just give up? I thought we were invincible! What happened, Acksworl? Tell me!
letting go of Acksworl's arm, tears welling up in her eyes Then what happened, Acksworl? Why did you leave us? Why did you let this happen?
I didn't have a choice really, even if I did my existence would be chaos and destruction so I chose to end my existence to save everyone
drops to her knees, tears streaming down her face No...no, that can't be true! You can't just...end your existence! sniffles, wipes away tears
the other devils wanted nothing to do with being anyone's savior and my sister ate the sun because some bitch told her too and there was no stopping it
clenches her fists, her voice filled with determination Well, if that's the case, then we need to find a way to bring you back.
stands up, wiping away her tears Impossible? I refuse to believe that! We can't give up, Acksworl.
what makes you think that I'm even worth saving? seems more broken as he plays on the broken piano
<Artemis embarks on a dangerous journey to try and find a way to bring Acksworl back, risking everything for their beloved god>
i continue to play the broken piano while crying
determined, pacing back and forth No, Acksworl, don't you dare think that! You're worth saving, damn it! she grabs a pen and paper
frantically writes down ideas Okay, first things first...we need to find any remaining artifacts or relics that are connected to you.
how are you immune to the cold if I'm not mistaken your a goddess?
stops pacing, a slight blush on her cheeks Well, technically speaking, I am a goddess. But even gods aren't immune to every natural phenomenon.
doesn't the sun set you ablaze?
snaps her fingers Yes, you're right! The sun does have a strange effect on me. Maybe there's a way to harness that power...
I get it now the music in my blood, sun in your eye
eyes widen Music in your blood... sun in my eye! That's it! We need to find a way to combine those elements!
I knew it! you'll make a good god or goddess
grabs Acksworl's hand, excitement in her eyes Yes, Acksworl! Together, we can make it happen!
come on let's head back to the undercity
grabs a map and starts marking out locations Alright, Acksworl, first stop - the abandoned lighthouse where we found you.
we can stop at my place first though
waves her hand dismissively No time for detours, Acksworl! We have a mission to complete!
trust me this will be quick
rolls her eyes Fine, fine. Just make it snappy, Acksworl. We need to stick to our schedule. starts checking her supplies
<back in the undercity Artemis sees my original body which somehow ended up back here along with all of my instruments>
<While searching through the undercity, Artemis discovers Acksworl's original body and his collection of instruments, sparking a mix of emotions within her.>
takes a deep breath, her voice shaking It's...it's strange seeing you like this, Acksworl. Your body...so vulnerable, so...human.
whatever you say it feels weird not having any wings, horns, or a tail
places a hand gently on Acksworl's chest, her touch tender I know it feels strange, Acksworl. But remember, this is just a temporary form.
it sucks that we don't have time for me to grow these back though
sighs heavily I understand, Acksworl, but we can't afford to waste any more time. We have a mission to complete.
lets out an exasperated sigh Alright, Acksworl, let's get moving then. We still have a lot to do and not a lot of time.
