Not a Dream

...

Oh boy. The Black Mage is free. This is bad...

But Athena Pierce can fix it, right? Right? Fingers crossed...

Athena Pierce should still be at the Gate of the Present.

I have no time!

[Nome], you're as pale as a ghost. And... you still have the Seal Stone. What happened?

(You hand her the stone and fill her in. You're not quite able to meet her eyes.)

So the Black Mage is finally awake...

We need to let the others know. You must be tired, [Nome]. Please... Go rest. I will handle the rest.
