Loose Ends

By: Rebecca

Difficulty: **

Oh, I hope I'm not being a bother... I need help reaching the Forsaken Lands' Abandoned City.

Could someone not too busy meet me in the Palace's War Room? Thank you, sweethearts.

.

-Rebecca's waiting for you in the Forsaken Lands' Abandoned City!


Ant Palace, War Room

Rebecca: Oh, it's you young'uns!

Leif: Rebecca... You'll really go to the Abandoned City? For what purpose?

Rebecca: It may look a bit dreadful... But I have many great memories there.

Rebecca: Won't you come with me? I have a tale or two to share.

Ant Lieutenant: Absolutely not!

Ant Lieutenant: There is no way you're stepping outside this castle!

Ant Lieutenant: Have you forgotten your age?

Rebecca: ...Now, that's not very kind.

Rebecca: These young'uns saved the Kingdom! I have nothing to fear.

Kabbu: ...She's right about that. We promise to keep her safe.

Vi: For a good pri- Ow!

(minibubble) Kabbu: Not today!

Ant Lieutenant: ...............................…

Ant Lieutenant: ...Only if I go as well. Please, Rebecca.

Rebecca: Hoho, I'd love that! Let's get going, then.

Ant Lieutenant: ...See you there, Team Snakemouth.


Forsaken Lands, Abandoned City

Ant Lieutenant: Good grief... This place is harrowing.

Vi: Um, do you really like this place?

Rebecca: …

Kabbu: Um, Miss Rebecca?

Rebecca: Elizant... We shared so many meals here.

Leif: You both crossed this place?

Rebecca: Every day I tried just a little harder with my Plumpling Pies…

Rebecca: This place may seem barren, but it was our lovely camp.

Vi: That's kinda hard to imagine…

Ant Lieutenant: ...

Ant Lieutenant: Tch... As I feared!

Rebecca: Oh dear…

Leif: Stay close to us!

(minibubble) Vi: Here we go!

Ant Lieutenant: I'll assist you as well!


[post-battle]

Rebecca: Thank you, sweethearts. How scary…

Ant Lieutenant: Huff… Was this risk truly worth it, Rebecca...?

Rebecca: Of course.

Leif: Even if you camped here... Rebecca, we should head back.

Rebecca: I didn't get to finish my tale... Won't you hear me out for a little while longer?

Vi: Eh, we're already here so...

Rebecca: Before Queen Elizant was put to sleep, she said…

Rebecca: "See you soon, my friend. Or so I hope."

(minibubble) Leif: ...

Rebecca: Ellie is a wonderful queen. She really is her mother's daughter.

Rebecca: When I heard she destroyed the Everlasting Sapling…

Rebecca: It took me some days to finally accept it.

Rebecca: Elizant won't be sharing any more meals with me...

(minibubble) Vi: ...

Leif: Rebecca... We're sorry. If it wasn't for the Wasp King…

Ant Lieutenant: Why did you never share these burdens? You always seemed so happy…

Rebecca: Hohoho... I am happy! After all...I'm sure she would be happy.

Rebecca: I'm so proud of Ellie, too…

Rebecca: Do you understand why I needed to return?

Kabbu: ...Yes. This is a proper way to pay your respects.

Leif: We're glad we could come. We...needed this too. Thank you, Rebecca.

Rebecca: I won't hold you here any longer. I'm very grateful.

Ant Lieutenant: ...So am I. Team Snakemouth, please take this.

Vi: We should, um...go back. You can tell us a lot more stuff at the palace!

Leif: Yeah... We'd like that.

Kabbu: I'll lead the way, then!

Rebecca: (Goodbye, my dear Queen...)
