Dungeon Clear

-----

(Maria's POV)

When it all ended, the Time Bubble I had created slowly faded away, as we found ourselves sitting on top of the Dungeon's Floor. What we went through was sure… moving to the core. I cannot begin how much it made me feel. But I can tell, it was a real tearjerker. Gosh, I am crying too much right now.

Nyx seemed to have woken up just when Crystal's last soul fragment went back to the afterlife, wherever that might be. She seemed slightly confused, and for some reason, my little girl was crying.

Did she somehow, perhaps instinctively, realized Crystal was her mother?

Maybe…

"Nyx? Are you okay?" I wondered, as everyone else slowly stood up, we were all dead silent after the little time we spent with Crystal.

"Hm! I'm oway…" Nyx said, cleaning her tears, she had gone back to her humanoid form already.

Her dragon form was small and adorable too, but it seemed she felt more comfortable in this form instead.
