Seering Prices and Effect

Hiding his assassin/faction knight outfit in his own inventory, the shadow pocket realm, is a clever way for Astra Ibis to maintain a dual identity and ensure that his true intentions remain concealed. This adds an element of mystery and intrigue to his character, as he can easily switch between his Vagrant Cleric persona and his former life as an assassin. It allows for unexpected plot developments and opportunities for Astra to use his unique skills in different situations. Along he used to planned an alias to cover his Shadow Knight Identity despite only Estella and Prime Entertainer knew his name as Astra nor his appearance with the past (as they are dead , while Chocola or rather Spinel quite pre-occupied with her own work)

As Astra walks and conceals his aura, he heads towards the elevator, maintaining a low profile. With the help of shadow trails, he retrieves the items he needs for his preparation. He carefully plans his next moves, making sure to stay unnoticed as he proceeds with his mission.

Then he suddenly realize the magical elevator has a young looking blonde girl (reminiscent of Alice in wonderland mc) with a monotone voice "Greeting Sir Shadow Knight Cardinal no.0 work as usual below floors?" He nods awkwardly as slowly there's dilation in his lifeless eyes and some guilt for Small moment haunted him (his alter ego in the mindscape whispers despite much weaker influence that he killed mad hatter) as he ask "Hey are you and Prime Entertainer close while I wait for my lowest floor?"

The young girl operating the magical elevator responds with her monotone voice, "Close? No, we have a mutual understanding." Astra waits for the elevator to reach the lowest floor, and his momentary guilt reminds him of the consequences of his actions in this alternative timeline. As he descends, he prepares himself for what lies ahead in his quest for revenge.

Alice then cries subconciously "I think his name is Mad hatter , oddly despite no memories of my full name or past…I felt a sense of familiarity and solitude he always visits me during breaks promising me someday there is a way to end my vow so I can leave this elevator walls (focus casting on the elevator anchor to manipulate ascend of Atmo/Air element to descend)…he even set up mini picnics and tea party during my breaks oddly enough..it's so different how you faction knights describe him"

Astra listens to Alice's words as the elevator continues to descend. He realizes that the Mad Hatter had a different side, at least when it came to Alice. Her story adds a layer of complexity to his understanding of the enigmatic Prime Entertainer. He nods to her, saying, "I see. He had a different side to him, it seems. In any case, thank you for sharing that with me, Alice." As the elevator reaches the lowest floor, Astra steps out, prepared to continue his journey towards revenge.

Alice spoke "thank you , and I think I shall be an operator as always thanks for your service sir Astra.." before he spoke before she shuts the shaft. "Wait…what happens since Estella or erm the Equinox is the reason we got our vows given…she is Gone..what will you do now?" Astra hesitates for a moment, considering Alice's question. He then replies in a solemn tone, "I don't know what the future holds for you, Alice. But with Estella gone, you might have a chance to be free from your vow. I hope you find a way to leave this place and live the life you desire. Farewell, Alice." With those words, he proceeds on his path, leaving the magical elevator behind and continuing on his quest for revenge.

Then his heart beats nervously as he facepalm a headache kicking in "I should probably rest somewhere for now…and ughh I didn't know how right that jerk was..I feel so empty.."

Astra, feeling the weight of his actions and the emptiness that lingers, decides to find a secluded spot to rest. He knows that his path of revenge has taken a toll on him, and it's essential to regather his thoughts and emotions before continuing his journey. As he finds a quiet corner, he reflects on the choices he's made and the price he's paid for his quest for vengeance.

Astra, in a moment of introspection and transformation, uses spiritual arts and magical dyes to change the color of his hair. His once black hair now carries a beautiful purple hue with white strands and subtle violet shading. This alteration represents not only a change in appearance but a symbolic shift in his path and identity.

Astra, now with his newly transformed hair, changes his attire. He dons a shirt that covers him from the neck to his arms, along with shorts, white socks, and silver boots. To maintain a sense of anonymity and mystery, he continues to wear a mask that conceals his eyes. This updated look adds an air of enigma to his appearance.

Astra, now in the Chorite Kingdom's capital, Emerald City, decides to register his identity at an inn. Using Mana-lics as currency, he rents a room for a 1 and a half-day stay. To maintain his newfound persona and avoid drawing attention, he presents himself as an introverted individual, his voice and blue eyes reflecting his reserved nature. He registers under the name Astra Ibis, creating a new identity for this part of his journey.

Astra receives a room key from the inn-keeper and heads to his room. As he enters the small, cozy space, he can't help but think about the events that led him here. The emptiness inside him, the memories of his past, and the burning desire for revenge all weigh heavily on his mind.

He takes a deep breath and looks around the room, deciding that he should rest for a while to regain his strength. The bed looks inviting, and the soothing sound of rain tapping on the windowpane creates a sense of serenity.

Astra lies down, trying to clear his mind. As he closes his eyes, he knows that this is just the beginning of his journey in this alternative timeline. The road to revenge is fraught with challenges and uncertainties, but he is determined to see it through to the end.
