No pupil.
No red glow
No anything.
Lifeless eyes.
No eyes.
Two gloved hands roll the head around while pouting lips shift to the side. The hands stop and catch it mid-roll with a quick grasp of its steel scalp. The hand's fingers fail to reach entirely around the object but it stops just the same.
"It's just a magia. What's so interesting? It's not going to strike a pose or anything. It's um... dead or deactivated I guess."
The soft voice that spoke in a puzzled tone changes and holds an even softer, hollow tone. A light echo comes and goes as the pink-haired girl lays flat in the moonlit grass.
"It wanted to hurt us, you, me... all these things do. Don't forget. You think they forgive what others like me did to them?"
"I-I didn't do anything! I fought to stop Szoszo!"
"Red Magia Mommy wasn't helped. She's in a prison now of human making."
Magi's face turned to a frown and she reached into the pocket space next to her, pulling to a candy cane and nibbling on it with a scolding stare at no one. Or more like herself.
"Don't talk about people like that. I'm human, and you are too no matter what you are. You think and feel the same as me. So we're human. Anyway, she was taken away so they could fix her. Something we should do too. A lot of broken stuff around..."
""Who are they?"
"...the scientist people!"
"Wowzers, and you think that's what scientists do? Have you forgotten the one we were stuck around for so long with that vampy?"
"...who?"
"...forget it, just like you already did. Gee whiz, I can't remember things right if you can't dummy."
Magi finished the candy and waved a hand to close the portal.
"I didn't forget! Xsuey! Xsuey!"
"...Xsuey???"
"You can't box everyone in based on just one person and everyone knows that super robots are cool beans! Just because that stuff happened doesn't mean science is bad! Think about doctors and therapists and... and.."
"...therapist? Giggle, yeah, I need SO much therapy! That memory jog and shot of nostalgia really made you dumber huh? The school was fun...it taught me more about why I need to keep going... false paradise isn't the answer."
Magi, or rather, Wendel laughed as she stared at the moon. That moon didn't bother her at all, even though she was so against the fortune reading back then... yet, something in her instinct made her wonder why that moon felt alone.
Those who are alone should be saved too. It's easier too, just like that girl missing an arm Wendel took care of. Too bad that led to an annoying hunter after her. Ever since returning to Astorea that problem wasn't a thing but now Tertorians were wandering around.
Wendy could never cleanse herself of the murders she had committed. Only the belief that this was all a game she was trapped in, gave her a string to hold onto. She was still a hero.. or she still could be...
"You're thinking about the stuff that happened at Camp Hope? I wanted to go... but..."
"There was a time, I remember wanting to meet the Star Maiden. I don't want to meet anyone... once there is no one to meet, I get the ending I want."
Magi lays an arm over her head and lets the breeze wash over her. Her feeling of temperature was just as messed up as everything else but sometimes it was nice.
"If that big crystal didn't blow up, and Szofrit didn't sever us that time. Both of those things... we wouldn't be split like this right? We are... me right?"
"Yep. This isn't normal... well... you know who else had something like this? But it is different for her."
"Raina..."
" Raina-chan. puppet robo trouble sisters, chomper luddy, there are a bunch of people persons but it doesn't matter. We should be me... I'm being held back. I should be completely fateless, so why can't I be free to do what I want?"
"Like Szofrit said?"
Magi grabbed the steel head up, tossed it into the air, and let it float in the center of the full moon's light. She stared at it and her red eye gleamed.
The corrupted magias, even a human losing control. Again, it was that trope of changing one into another. Wendel was not a change, she was Wendel. She just wants what Wendy wants. There was no change so... why was she the same as those tentie things? Salvation should be good. It WAS good.
"I don't like how that ended. Some dumb elf I should have ended right there made things difficult for me and you didn't help with that hope talk. I didn't get to eat the egg. I didn't get to evolve fully because someone messed with time. That could have been my chance... I could have just...but no. NO. ...no..."
"Huh? Are you angry? I don't think I've felt you mad before... not like this anyway. I understand but Wendel... the evil robots are gone now. Maybe only cool beans super robots can come now and we can all be like Super Sentai allied heroes."
"Giggle... yeah, more robots for sure... I'm not angry... just hold a grudge. Now that I think about it... maybe I missed a lot of stuff because of all that busy work I lost track when it came to those mechas... I don't know why. Now that I think about it... I might be doing this wrong."
Magi spun the head around, making it 'orbit' the moon.
"I think it's almost time to go back. I want to see that special people person. I want to prove that I am not like the others. I'm a savior. I am THE savior. I know... I hear myself... that blue-haired guy. He made me feel something. Then he went all ahahahah... remember?"
"It was more like screaming and growing wings or something. I remember Kyanna not handling it well either. Um... I can't be a hero if just touching people does that."
"You still want to be just a hero? Heroes are false and forgotten, A real savior does things permanently. That was a special situation...um... I think... but I want someone who knows."
The Star Maiden. The country Magi had spent months having to dodge this and that until she finally could return only to face a Magia invasion. Was it time to just go to the hornet's nest and see what happens?
"I told Brady once that I'd like to go right? Before I woke up. Then we thought of it again, at that place we fought that loud mouth that worked for Vermy? Raina., I made that promise the first time there... I guess we could go next time there's a chance. I wonder if she'd go with me."
Magi closed her eyes.
After all this time... the time to follow through on one of her earliest desires was now in her heart once again.
For whatever future fate may come.
And no matter what Wendel may do, maybe Wendy had her own ideas as well.
They were the same after all.
