*They come out of the gate*
*The gate vanishes*
Luna : "What happened? Why did we leave like tha-"
*Senses massive pain inside him and sees tears running down his face*
*Colt suddenly embraces her tight*
Luna [hugging back, concerned] : "What happened?? Why are you crying?"
Colt [breathing heavily] : "I just realized… what it all means… I didn't foresee this… it hurts… it hurts… I can't … it's-"
[In the void the beige sparks turn into a big, burning flame]
Luna [stroking his hair] : "Easy, I'm here for you… take deep breathes and tell me everything."
*Colt's legs gave out on him, he fell to the ground on his knees with Luna still embracing him*
Colt : "I … I … originally went to the plant continent because I knew there were resources there. I wanted to make our lives easier, give you more sweet things and delicious meals. I forgot that … there are humans here, I forgot that they are similar or even worse than those I'm used to."
[scene : Colt narrating in the background, an image of a mutated venus-flytrap being burned]
Colt : "I know what will happen… the dryads will die."
[scene : Trea impaled by an earth lance]
Colt : "Then another war will start over the monopoly of spices… and then-"
[scene : The map of the main continent is shown, the five kingdoms turn red one by one starting from the Krysia kingdom Colt used to be in]
Colt : "Then several wars will break out."
[back to the present]
Luna : "You can't know for sure."
Colt : "I KNOW BECAUSE IT HAPPENED!!"
[scene : Colt narrating in the background]
Colt [breathing heavily in shock] : "Here is how this will go."
[scene : The world map is shown, blue arrows move from the Krysia kingdom to the wasteland continent]
Colt : "If even one of the five kingdoms develops magicians strong enough, or discover a tiny bit of the knowledge I have, they're going to explore the wasteland continent."
[scene : Human mages defeating metal golems]
Colt : "And if they find and learn to use the resources here."
[scene : A man doing the cavendish experiment]
Colt : "Eventually, they'll be able to fly."
[scene : People flying and in the far distance, the plant continent appears]
Colt : "Then they'll spot the plant continent."
[scene : A massive battle between humans and dryads]
Colt : "A war will break with the dryads over the resources"
[scene : A man being handed a pouch of coins]
Colt : "But the other 4 kingdoms won't stay still. Whether it's by spies or any other means, they'll find out."
[scene : Armies of knights and mages on a battlefield]
Colt : "They'll try to get their share, another war will break out, people will die."
[Back to the present]
Colt[in a full state of panic] : "IT ALL HAPPENED AND THERE WEREN'T…. THERE WEREN'T OTHER RACES… THERE WEREN'T-"
Luna[ kisses him, then embraces him harder] : "Colt, dear, this isn't your old world. We have magic, we can fight back. You promised to protect what you love, remember? You're the strongest, you determine how this goes."
Colt [clings to Luna harder] : "That's the problem; I never cared, but now, I can't turn a blind eye to the risks. It's too heavy a burden."
Luna : "Then let me carry it with you, you're not alone, we're not alone. We have our family to lean on, you don't need to think so hard about this. Nothing will happen. For a thousand years humans never reached the plant continent, why did you assume they'd do it now?"
Colt[in a broken tone] : "It's in our nature… they did it before."
Luna : "Your old world didn't have magic, dryads or elves. You were too focused on the humans you forgot the differences in our world. I'll always be with you, until and after your scars fade, I'm not going anywhere."
Colt [still teary] : "I love you."
Luna : "I love you too."
She's seen my lowest point, she didn't ignore it, she didn't leave. She stayed until I was better. I can't even describe how that feels… but I can do this: I'll keep her safe, I'll keep her happy, whatever it takes.
*After a few days*
Luna : "So what will you do now? Do you want to forget about it?"
Colt [with determination] : "You helped me realize that I was just overthinking and overcomplicating things, that my scars were getting the better of me, that I was staring too much into the darkness of the abyss. So no, the plan didn't change, I still want to know what else we could find."
