Convictions: The Guide (Ending-C)

Phil entered this nightmare per Sofia’s instructions, which admittingly made it seem a lot safer. But her panicked and nearly attacked as he was hugged from behind. “Wh-what? Get off! Get off!”

“Aww.” Sofia cooed. “But it’s so comfy, and we need to talk anyways.”

“What?” Phil questioned. “You brought me here to defeat Cendaroki, remember?”

“Yet here you are feeding her.” Sofia stated. “Was it even hard? Not picking me?”

“I haven’t picked anyone!” Phil shouted as voice echoed. “Why does everyone need to choose anyway?! What if I choose not to choose, huh?” Sofia vanished from the nightmare, and Phil knew it was because he had gone so far off script. “I choose on my terms, dammit.”  Several projectiles came rushing towards Phil. “And I choose to get out of here.” he stated screaming as he vanished.

“Right where, I thought it’d be.” Myrija stated proudly before entering the maze. “\“Alright, alright.” She took a deep breath. “I’m going to Obb. She took two steps forward and found herself next to a young crying griffin. “Obb?” She asked before someone bumped into her leg.

“Obb?” a young Phil asked. “What’s up?... Look if it’s about-”

“It’s not” Obb sniffed. “I’m used to it.” he off at a brief illusion of some type of game that’s seemed like it would be rather difficult, if one had wings and talons,

“That’s not even an actual game.” Phil stated. “Grow up” Obb subject to another vision with the same message. Myrija waited on briefly before stomping out the third vision. Sure enough Obb was curled up in a corner trying to not to look.

“Obb.” Myrija stated firmly before Phil somehow bumped into from behind. “The three of us are going now.” She stated sweetly holding out a hand to him. 

“You’re not going anyway!” Cendaroki screamed at Myrija as she rushed towards her. Myrija stopping dead in her tracks. “You will not take the wanderer!” She hissed before her mouth was covered with her own habit

“He is a seeker.” Myrija corrected before throwing Cendaroki over her head,and slamming her  to the ground. “That doesn’t change. In presence of a shepherd.”
“For the wanderer... there is always a shepherd…”  Cendaroki stated as she slowly melted into the ground. “For the seeker there is always-” Myrija stomped her face into the ground with two of her feet.

“Fine, I’ll be a guide.” Myrija stated. “Anything to keep you quiet.” She grumbled before shaking Obb, and Obb shook his head wildly in response. “Hey, hun~” she greeted him.

“B-but…” Obb looked at Myrija for a bit before turning to Phil. “You’re… gone…”

“Probably.” Phil responded looking at him. “It’s time to stop playing games, Obb.”

“For once.” Myrija respond. “He’s not wrong.” She propped Obb on her left side, and leaned into her shoulder. Follow Phil out was she was sure her congo would be comfortable

EPILOGUE

“A toast to the happy couple, and to the many more years of happiness.” Phil finished his speech to erupting applause. Sophia got up and gave a peck on the cheek. Even Johnny and Obb were clapping from the corner they had chosen to hide in. Marc and Maple seemed less impressed, but enjoyed the speech all the same. Shortly after the speech pretty everyone began chatting at their respective tables again.

“So um…” Myrija paused as Sofia, Marc, and Maple watching her looking over to Obb. “Has he been okay?” tilting her head over to Obb

“Hmm?” Sofia tilted her head. “What? He’s just been asking quest-” Sofia covered her mouth with wide eyes. Myrija still deep into them, but Sofia shook her head wildly still covering her mouth.

There’s a rather loud disruption, and Sophia stopped showing off her engagement ring to look up. Myrija hadn’t had a problem getting in and out of her chair all night, so at first everyone seemed a little confused. Expect for Obb who looked a bit shocked. Phil sighed as Obb scrambled up the four legs of an achranoid walked toward him one set of arms crossed and other on her hips. “Myrija, come on, they just cleaned for this, so can’t it-” Sophia also sighed as it apparently couldn’t. Obb now pinned up to one of the columns.

“Okay, o-okay.” Obb near struggled to breathe as was pushed further into the column. “Okay, dear!” Myrija let Obb go and tilted her head. She knows his limits, and she didn’t expect him to fall like that. “So.. I know said you’d prefer not to…” Obb stated digging through his pockets. This time Myrija cover her mouth with wide eyes. “But...well it’s to be working out for everyone else, and there isn’t anyone else I’d even consider offering this to so-” The obb moment popped open the box with a ring inside he tugged upwards and locked into a passionate kiss. Myrija collecting the box as the crowd cheered. Phil smiled and side hugged with Sophia. It seemed like, for once, both their lives were on track.
