76 Reflection
{Authors Note: Dear Travelers, we will be slowing down and following one POV soon now that everything is established....you will understand after reading today and tomorrow's chapter, please enjoy and snuggle up as we talk to the moon together}.
-Moonwolf
It has been around eighty years (VR time) since Raven started creating his multiverse...he decided, after releasing the medium ranked 'Earth' (Dr. Stone), that he should give enough time for plots to play out within each of his worlds...so he's been waiting.
Many adjacent IP works were released, for example, actual game versions of worlds like Minecraft were released outside Raven's multiverse with a few partnerships, and many different festivals and events centered around his worlds have been staged...such as "Raven-CON" where cosplay became a hit...
Raven even gave out 'Traveler Spots" to winners of the "Best Costume" or "Best Fanfiction"...he was delighted that the works that made him into the otaku grandpa in his past life were having an even greater impact here on Blue Star...
He is planning to release the first 'Ascension' within a week...it has become increasingly cramped in Altissia, and there have already been complaints about wanting to spread outside of the already generous portion provided for Travelers.
.....
An old woman could be seen in a seemingly random house within a bustling city...she was crying happy tears with a smile on her lips while taping her body at different points...as the minutes passed by, her body became increasingly limp as she ended her 'long life' with a silent farewell to her beloved as the last impact hit her main Chi point above her heart...
...................
Having experienced a wonderful life of danger, suspense, love, anger, remorse, and every little thing that made life.....well, life...she was fulfilled.
She was doing what many of her friends and family would be saddened by....but, if Sokka was still alive to speak about his wife's actions, he would tell those curious that he wasn't surprised...
He would say that their love for each other was the truest and purest thing that has ever existed...but, although his wife loved both him and their life and the adventures they had together, she was not normal...
In the moments that he was the happiest, when she gave him a child, when they bought their first home, and when they built an entire city with their friends...she would always have melancholic eyes when she smiled, and tears would flow when she should be ecstatic...
She was the happiest person he knew, but there was something he was missing...he asked before his death about her true feelings, and she simply told him how much she loved him....but all the time they were together, they were destined to be apart...
........
The old lady that just died with a smile on her lips opened her eyes once more but not in The Four Nations...what greeted her was a vast hall that had a warm atmosphere with beautiful angels and smiling humans, coming and going with purpose...
She stood there, smiling and crying for well over thirty minutes before she was approached by a nearby Seraph, who was currently on duty in the Gate of Worlds.
"Hello, Miss...welcome back home...I hope you've enjoyed your Dive..." the Seraph was waiting for an answer but the human lady simply kept smiling and crying, she was looking off in the distance, as if remembering something important from long ago...
The Seraph continued after a minute or so..."Are you, okay miss?... I can send for a therapist if you like?..."
With one final *sniffle* and a quick shake of her body, seeming to tear away any lasting constraints that the happy/sad feelings left, the lady focused on the Seraph and smiled brightly with her eyes and mouth...
"No, no, no...I simply enjoyed my time in The Four Nations a little too much I'd say...I need to contact my family to check in with them first before I get back into the swing of things here in Altissia, would you mind getting someone to guide me through the new additions and changes? I'd appreciate it..."
The Seraph smiled happily when she heard that and replied "Ahh, excellent. I'm sure the creator would be pleased to hear you had an enjoyable experience, please take your time and I will ask one of the human "Traveler Guides" nearby to aid you during this adjustment time...
..........
Ty Lin, who was now Chastain Grey (again) was sitting in the bar area of a large Inn on the edge of the Entertainment District, Altissia...she still could not overcome her shock at what she had seen since her return...
'It's at five worlds already, it's truly incredible what Raven Oscars is capable of...it's simply a new realm created from the mind of one man...he has changed the worlds and perhaps the very future of reality, what an amazing feat...' just when she was pondering over what to do now that she has returned home, she received three messages, two were personal while the third was an Altissian Announcement.
