Digital Persona Saga - Mask of Longing

"Am I any different from my other self?"

 

"Just a litte, the other you hates your dad to the core and he's quite well known as artist."

 

Lesa woke slowly after her merge with Bahamut. Her head felt heavy but at least she hadn't had any nightmares. She walked out of her room and back out to the garden. Lesa sat under a willow tree. Cara was silent for once and she fell asleep quickly in the snow with Styria and Nix guarding her from the cold.

 

"I never imagined myself being an artist."

 

Minato smiled. "The other you and me have so many kids, I can't remember all their names."

 

"Wow. I would have never guessed."

 

Minato smiled at him.

Arisa went to Toji and told him everything she heard from Minato and Hattori.

 

"Arisa probably went to tell my father everything that happened, so we better get out of here and to the rebel base."

 

Minato jumped out and ran to the base. Suki and Shiori watched them, wishing for their safety.

 

Hattori ran with her.

Toji walked into his room.

"My son has to be in league with those rebels, and now he's getting my new soldier involved with them."

 

Shiori sighed when she heard her father, he didn't know she was also part of the rebels.

 

Hattori sighed as they entered the base.

 

Minato looked around and sighed.

 

Snow stood there waiting for Hattori and Minato. "Took you guys long enough."

 

"You already knew or what, Snow?" Minato asked.

 

"Yeah. We can't go back in the castle now, unless we launch an all out attack. If we tried that now, we'd be wiped out."

 

Minato looked at the castle. Suki was working in the garden.

 

"Dad will be sending out those abominations he keeps in his lab after us first."

 

Minato closed her eyes and a grim-looking Shadow appeared. "Abominations like this?"

 

Hattori shot the shadow with a light imbued arrow.

"One of many. These are the weakest ones he keeps."
