FULL MOON CODA

The moon wanes, and retreats into the sky.

After a quick chat and a vote, the otherworldly wizards, their mentor, and their sage decide to hand Victor over to the Central government—to the young wizard who appeared later in the ordeal. As both a sage's wizard and Crown Prince to the Central throne, Prince Arthur is the ideal person to understand both the discriminatory behavior driving Victor against wizards and the political ramifications of his actions, both past and planned. He pledges to you to make sure that, even if you aren't around to see it, Victor pays for what he's done and then some, while respecting Tatara's wishes to avoid bloodshed. He'll manage his case, while making sure his uncle, Vincent, does not have too much sway, due to his relationship with the West. Ultimately, he'll be locked up for life, put to hard labor, and made sure his intelligence is not misused.

When the sun rises, everyone gets to work repairing the manor. The damage is pretty bad but not unsalvageable, and it's made a lot easier with the help of some of the other original wizards who trickle in as the day begins. So long as it hasn't been burnt into absolutely nothing, it's salvageable—hopefully your figurines are safe!

For the first time since you arrived in this world, things feel stable. The brittleness in the air is no longer there, and there's a serenity to the breeze and the sky. It's comfortable. As the previous sage and sage's wizards begin to go about their business as usual, they mention anomalies and other odd incidents they must take care of around the world, but it is nothing like what you initially remember. This is no longer a world a hair's breadth away from falling apart, and you fixed it.

Whether you noticed it in the chaos of the final fight, or you hear it from someone else, or you notice on your own in the days that follow, you will realize that your sage crest is gone. With the other wizards in place again, your job here is done. Quite literally. You are no longer obligated to Tatara or to this world. All that's left is to go home.

A day and time is chosen for the ritual, and you have a few days after the final battle before the ritual is ready. This would be a good time to wrap up loose ends before you go, perhaps for good.

And when the ritual is ready, you'll know.

[ He laughs. ]

Well, you never know, right? Don't do anything too strenuous just to see me.

It should be fine. It's not like our magic from here works like the stuff back home.

It may not, but still. Be careful. Don't do anything reckless in general either.

[ Is he going to let this spin off into a mini lecture? Yes. ]

Ask for help if you need it.

Wow, "don't be reckless," "ask for help," but also "don't bother me in my shiny new life?"

I see how it is.

You'll do as you like anyway, won't you? Bother me all you want.

[ Permission is hereby granted. ]

Especially if you need to ask for help.

[He's right but also,]

Why the sudden emphasis on asking for help?

You're terrible at it, and I figure I should focus our last interaction for a while on something I think is important. After all, depending on the flow of time between our worlds, it could be years before I see you again.

Look, you...

Just because you've never seen it doesn't mean I haven't asked for help when I needed it.

I've never seen it. What else am I suppose to think?

[ Just saying!! ]

We're similar enough that I think I have every reason to believe that you're awful at it. You and I both think we can handle everything on our own.

I literally asked Solomon of all people for some help before we leave.

[Solomon!!!! Fucking SOLOMON!!!!!!!!!!]

...Why would you do that?

Because out of anyone here, he's the only person with the skill and power to help me do something about my magic from my world.

[The og wizzies are not even up for debate. He doesn't know any of them and he sure as hell isn't trusting them with his eyes tyvm.]

[ Ah, well in that case... ]

I'm glad you're doing something about it. [ He crosses his arms. ] And I imagine your lifespan has been lengthened by your status as a wizard too.

[ And by doing something about his magic, Kurapika thinks he'll be able to keep that lengthened lifespan... hopefully. ]

Yeah. He was going to look into a few different options, but - I just need to make sure it doesn't activate every time I look at someone injured or sick anymore.

[His magic from this world is already so much more powerful than the pitiful healing he was capable of before; there's really no reason to keep it, anymore.]

That would certainly be to your benefit.

[ He crosses his arms. ]

If there's anything you need from me when it comes to that, let me know.

I'll let you know, but I don't think there should be too much to it?

...

Unless something goes wrong, in which case, feel free to hunt Solomon down for sport on my behalf.

[ He gives that some thought... ]

Pass. I'd lose against him, I'm sure. Try haunting him instead. I think that would be much more effective.

Not even coming to my aid in my time of need...

[So cruel...]

[ Smiling, he gives Ahito's shoulder a light shove. ]

Don't be dramatic. As if you wouldn't come to the same conclusion in my position anyway.

[Snickering.]

I mean, I'd still try.

[But yeah no he's no match for Solomon either.]

And die as a result? A little bit sad, but I appreciate the sentiment.

[ His smile grows just a bit. ]

Good luck with that.

I'm not actually sure I'm enough of a threat to him to earn an execution, even...

Nuisances are worth killing from time to time.

I'm flattered you think so highly of me.

You should be.

[ He holds a hand out. ]

I'll see you sooner rather than later, won't I?
