He shouldn't have returned to this world. There was danger in his visit, remembering how some days ago his actions had caused quiet the scene. No, how the actions of the scourge had caused it. Ravus ignored it however. He knew that Radiant Garden was still one of the main travel-routes for many people that could wander through the stars and also it felt like a good place to start looking for something to give his life new meaning. He had not forgotten what Dieter had done for him and he won't throw his life away like this. The gods must have some kind of plan they followed by having revived him and the scourge was now weak, even though it was inside of him. An other outbreak won't happen for now and he had gotten the time he needed to think straight.

Of course, he felt different knowing it was only sealed away in him for now and since it's presence on him had faded, his body felt stiffer and weaker than usual. Maybe it was because of his magitec arm having been infected by it and his strength was reduced by the scourge's seal in some way? It didn't make much sense in the ways technicians would think about it, but this inhuman power must have come from the evil in the fake arm in some way. There was no other explanation he had right now. He had decided to take a walk and look for a good place to train for now or just to find some peace to maybe send a prayer to the gods for guidance. It surely must have been fate bringing him here today, because when he entered the plaza close to the medical quarters of this world, his eyes would catch a glimpse of something familiar... Blond, long hair, a white dress, those round, blue eyes and a face with features that mostly followed him through his nightmares and dreams of the past, though her body was always still, unmoving.. blood covering her white gown. The royal could almost feel how time seemed to slow down, his eyes widening and unable to understand what they were seeing in front of him right now. It must be a dream.. or a trick. There, on this plaza, stood his sister.. like nothing ever happened to her. Like her death had been a bad dream. How was this possible? He had seen her leave him forever in Altissia. He had seen how the life had left her body and felt her cold skin in his hands.

His mouth was slightly open, a short gasp all he could really muster for a moment as he just continued to stare at her. His eyes tried to look at hers, catch a glimpse of any spell that could have caused this hallucination to appear before him, but all he could see was the honest blue she always carried with no darkness inside of them. His feet started moving without him even realizing, his walk turning into a sprint as he approached the person he was thinking to be- no he was CERTAIN to be his sister.

“Lunafreya!!”, he screamed, his eyes however covered with pain and an emotion even he couldn't describe. He almost ran her over, his arms grabbing her shoulders to look directly into her face, like he was still searching for a trace of fakery. “L...lunafreya...”
He continued to stare into those eyes... and still, nothing changed. She was here? She was really here? His features would now soften slowly, a tear almost spilling from his eyes.
“It.. it is you... beloved sister.. You are here.”

Blue eyes would look at him with deep shock, before they would be replaced with something he had not seen often in them... happiness. She put her arms around him, Ravus doing the same and pulling her close to his chest. Feeling her so close he knew.. he knew she was real. He knew she was here and this wasn't a dream. And if it was a dream, he wouldn't want to wake up again.. never again. All Ravus had ever cared about after the death of his mother was his beloved sister and seeing her in front of him was his greatest wish come true. She pulled away and took her hands, her happiness taking the better of her how it seemed. She wanted to walk with him, go to a place where they could sit most likely and talk in quiet. She had so many questions and so many things she wanted to tell him.

Ravus would walk beside her, his eyes blinking a few times before he would move his hand up, carefully placing his human fingers on her mouth to gently silence her for now.
“Hush, Sister. I know there is a lot you want to know and I will do anything in my power to answer your questions.”, he would say calmly and collected. He would follow the scent of the flowers in the air to the garden, his eyes detecting a bench close to the road. He would guide his sister to it and offer her to sit down, he doing the same.

Taking a deep breath, he would gather his thoughts and try to answer everything she wanted to know.
“The gods have granted us their favor, I assume. We are both here, together...”
His eyes traced her for any wounds or other pain she could be in and when he found nothing, his eyes would soften.
“Our home is save, Lunafreya.. and Noctis is well, too. Your dream of peace has been fulfilled, just like you always prayed for.”

Yes, Eos was no longer in the hold of the scourge... there were things that threatened the stars still, but Ravus wouldn't tell her. She had been given a chance to live, something he had always wanted for her to experience. Freedom. Happiness. All this could be hers now. He would lean into the bench slightly, closing his eyes for a moment to gather his thoughts again.
“We are not on our star, Lunafreya, but I can bring you back home. Do not waste any thoughts on trying to understand all of this, sister. You are alive and that is all that matters.”

Yes, she should not get involved into the matters of the other stars. He just wanted her to return to Eos and find peace. This is all he had ever fought for.. to protect his sister and he would continue to do anything he can to bring her the joy she was denied as a child. At least one of them should...
“Everything will be alright. You are free.”

The happiness Ravus felt inside of his body was so bright-full, it even drew a smile on his usual serious face. A honest smile. The gods couldn't have given him a better gift than the life of his sister to return to his side, her duty no longer burdening her shoulders in a world not connected to Eos. He would have wanted to hug her and hold her close in silence for hours, whispering comforting words to her and tell her what she could do now to make a smile appear on her face that would never fade ever again. Seeing how her face was brightening up by what he said about Noctis and Eos, it seemed his dream was truly being fulfilled. The smile on his face wouldn't fade as he watched her understanding, but once she mentioned his well-being, the smile would falter slightly... She wanted to know about him and his well-being.

Of course the curse he held within him came to his mind, but telling his sister about the demon's that plague him? Now that she could live a life she always desired? He would.. drag her down with him once more and the thought formed a lump in his throat and weighted heavy on his heart.
“Beloved Sister, your burdens have been lifted. You no longer have have the duty to heal those in need. You no longer have to do as the gods tell you to... You can focus on yourself for the first time in so many years. I won't take this from you.”, he said firmly, but with a soft tone to his voice.

“All I want, is to know you are happy and so I will be happy as well. Any burden I carry would be erased by your smile.”

He wasn't lying. He would move on, even more now that his sister was alive and able to find freedom. It only sparked his will to keep on fighting the evil in his body and keep it away from her and her dream.
“You don't have to worry about me, Lunafreya.”
