    Summary

    Wemmbu hated this.
    The caves, the wars, his inability to get Egg back, and so on.
    It all piled together into one endless frustration.
    What was even worse was that, as Arachid’s second-in-command, he had to be dragged along to every fancy meeting the King of the Caves held with political allies or enemies. He stood there with little choice but to endure hours of yapping.

    -

    Parrot paced back and forth around the meeting room.
    His colorful feathers fluttered wildly with a deep sense of unease. Sure, he was the one who had taken the massive gamble to invite his mortal enemies to a diplomatic meeting, but truth be told, he hadn’t really expected them to actually agree to show up.

    -

    Flame gripped his sword tightly.
    The worn hilt had already molded perfectly into his hands over time, a striking sign that he was a fighter through and through—someone who was all action, no words. To him, a crash of a sword spoke far more words than mere political meetings ever could.

     

    Or, the ones in power actually talk. Oh, and somehow the Great Sea is involved.

    Summary

    'Forget about me. Don't live on in memory of me. Live on as who you are.'

    A boy with golden hair told him. The boy was as radiant as the sun and as hopeful as a sunflower. The boy, who was Rejoice. Perhaps when he recovers, the world would be a little brighter. Perhaps when he recovers, Wemmbu would live on in his own legacy, and not in remembrance of him.

    Summary

    Wind blew past him as he fell. It caressed his purple locks in the only violent nature he knew he'd endure again and again willingly. Wemmbu gazed at the skies painted in orange (flaming) hues, for an entire second forgetting that he was pushed off...

    By the person he thought he could trust and turn his back to. Suddenly everything felt...

    So far away.

    It matters not. Not anymore even if it's a betrayal Wemmbu experiences yet another time. He felt tired. Bone deep exhausted. Perhaps that was the reason for Flame's next blows to be not as strong as usual.

    In the end it doesn't really change anything. Wemmbu still feels that hollow exhaustion by the time he admits defeat, by the time he gives up his title of 'the strongest' and Lettuce comes to collect him. For some reason the idea of execution doesn't sound as bad as it did before.

    Maybe he could even rest a bit. Or see Rejoice.

    Or: Wemmbu is tired. Flame... for some godforsaken reason... Cannot just not care.

    Set after/during his Prison arc and some crumbs of the invis arc.
