Earth Legend 3; The Grand Panda's Pan Demique, Tsubaki Tensei

After a long and arduous trip through the Eternal Desert, having encountered what she believed was the fabled legendary Desert Spirit and immediately afterward being transported to another dimension randomly for no reason, Tsubaki -- who had regained her memory and recalled her past life as Desert Swan -- returned to her homeland in the Corona Badlands, deep within the Eternal Desert, hidden by the sands -- the Khoya Village; Lost Weapons Of The Desert Tribe.

She looked very different from how they knew her, but with a certain apparel and her proof of her heritage as an Instrument of their lineage, as well as memories of her past that only her family would know, they would know it was their same Desert Swan, who had been through quite the ordeal ever since randomly leaving her village to explore the rest of the world. Even she herself wasn't quite sure of everything that happened, but what she did know was that she was finally back home, after having gone out and seen it. And to top it all off, was blessed by the presence of the legendary Desert Spirit upon her return. Everyone would know that to be a blessing once she told them, and they saw her transformation into Tsubaki.

Many strange things had been occurring in the Khoya Village as of recently. And they were happening consecutively. Not only thi, but there was a sighting of the Desert Spirit, whose ancient name is Fislo. No one had ever seen or known of Fislo, but legend has it that someone once did, and Fislo not only decimated the land to where they are naght but bones as the ruins and remains -- the Valley Of Dry Bones over yon -- but also that he went back to rest, and was only awakened because his peace in the desert disturbed his spirit. So no one knew if the sight of the Desert Spirit was an omen of goodness or of misfortune.

Though the villagers had been mulling over this, and looking to both nature and spirits for signs, in order to determine the truth in terms of their understanding with the nature of the world as its energy flowed (for, they followed many archaic, tribal practices, and lived in seclusion, where only they could learn and understand their own personal secrets and practices, whilst also passing them down traditionally and embracing their growth), they were overjoyed to hear of the return of their Desert Swan.

However, she was different than when she stole off into the night that one day many moons past. Though they could tell her spirit after some time, they were still very troubled about if this omen was auspicious or malicious. They figured the return of their beloved lost clansman was a good sign, but the nature of her return and the changes to her, plus the timing of it in comparison to the Desert Spirit, made them worry about forces out of their control which would also change them and their way of life, which was all they knew, and was the only thing that they were certain of in their lives.

Sheltered as they were, they were still very grounded, because their practices were still sound and deeply rooted, despite still being very isolated and secluded to only themselves. For now, all they could do was follow Desert Swan, because the Desert Spirit had been roused before she returned, and figured she would be able to appease it.

Thus, Desert Swan's family would conspire with her about how to soothe the Desert Spirit.

When Tsubaki, the Desert Swan, returned from her premature departure from the Khoya Village Tribe of the Eternal Desert in the Veritas, the Corona Badlands of the Dawn would find that the Desert Spirit -- who was Pumpkinhead -- would return with her. However, it wasn't the same as it was when she left -- in fact, it was instead like a little childish girl rather than a large, hulking, masculine spirit.

Pumki -- as it was called -- was in the stead of Pumpkinhead, her primordial elder brother and father. She, the new Desert Spirit, was embodying the realm as Fislo, overseen by the Magnus Ignis, Pumpkinhead's Sixth Restriction form. The Magnus Ignis -- known also as the 'Great Pumpkin' -- was a giant skeletal face with a jack o' lantern on it, gazing down at whatever was down below, predominantly in the Corona Badlands, as that was its own designated territory of dominion in the Veritas.

So, being the Fire God -- as is what being the Magnus Ignis meant to this realm -- Magnus Ignis was able to do many things as an overseer and as a God. One of which being appointing the Desert Spirit.

"Daughter," the Great Pumpkin, which was its regular Blood Orange color, spake to her, "Go To The Valley Of Dry Bones And Bring The Mechanica. Begin To Establish Both Modern And Futuristic Technology For The Desert And Its People. Then, Find The One Who Is Like You -- The One That Is Moved By The Earth God's Spirit As You Are Moved By The Fire God's Spirit."

Then, the Magnus Ignis would wait and watch, emanating an influence as necessary for proper follow-through of formations.

As usual, Misery was off doing her own things now, shirking her duties just like she used to in the old days. Being reincarnated by Khrona and bestowed to the Magnus Ignis was exactly what she wanted, though she admittedly did miss Khrona in his entirety of his being, as she was accustomed to. She had convened with Despair a long while ago about the matter, and the two of them had at it, but... It didn't make her feel better at all. Part of her was still loathsome to herself about how she was just attached to his 'Hateform' -- which was 'The Beast' or 'Magnus Ignis' when as a God -- but she was still happy to be attached to Khrona even in this way.

He didn't do any of the insane things he used to, and he was much more... Calm. Even when he was upset, it wasn't... Explosively violent, like in the old days. She knew this to be a punishment for liking Khrona's Insanity too much, even after they were all cleansed of The Insanity, but... It was getting to be too much. She really just loved to hate things and be insane.

However, she had enjoyed her time being the Red Friday, as a part of the Orange Flame Of Eternity, as Garnet. It kept her clean and pure, in spite of her Demonic heritage as a Succubus. Misery did think of her family every now and then as well, but... She hadn't even seen any of them since the day she left Hell to meet Khrona, himself. Misery never looked back, but... She'd come so far. Too far to look back at Hell and her sisters... And especially her mother, whom she was still defying to this day by having left home. Khrona knew her entire story, but... Misery herself didn't seem to ever want to have anything to do with her own background the entire time.

Just the same as Despair.

Misery trekked through the Eternal Desert of the Corona Badlands and would follow the overpowering subtle waves of the Magnus Ignis, her consort, plus their child, Tetra. The two were at work, and Misery was just... Brooding.

Normally, when she was feeling upset like this back in Hell, she would abuse her Slave Girl. Perhaps that was what she was missing. She used to love fighting with Khrona, but fighting his Fire God form was nowhere near the same. Misery needed her Slave Girl... Just to abuse her to death. Again. As usual.

As thrilling and exciting as all of this was for Tsubaki, -- the journey all the way unto now -- she felt obligated to tell her people about the perk of Pandemia. She explained that this was where he went, but she didn't say what they did for Instruments... Which is what they called her people. the 'Living Weapons', known otherwise as the 'Soul Weapons'.

These were some of the last known purebred bloodline of Weapons from before the Reality Village, but they were savvy about the general change that went on about the world, and they did know very vaguely about certain things. They had, in fact, been updated some along the way, and also found out for themselves. However, they also knew they needed more information, and Tsubaki knew how her people could be about whispering and gossip, and not having information. If she didn't explain everything she knew as best she could that was necessary, everyone would become paranoid and aggressive, or generally negative and invasive.

Tsubaki also knew it was right to go back to the college, and to also bring some of her people, and she agreed to help them integrate better into the world slowly if she could continue her enrollment at the school instead of return home. This was now where they were at with this discusion; Tubaki and her people, the Khoya Villagers.As thrilling and exciting as all of this was for Tsubaki, -- the journey all the way unto now -- she felt obligated to tell her people about the perk of Pandemia.

The Desert Spirit that was plaguing the Khoya Tribe, which was one of Pumpkinhead, The Magnus Ignis' Spirit -- Fislo. It was appearing all over the place because its peace had been disturbed, and the Pumpkinhead did not shine on it for it to stay asleep in the sunlight of the Magnum. If the Magnus Ignis, Pumpkinhead, was the Red Pumpkinhead, Titus, then the Desert Spirit, Fislo, would be at unrest because of the displacement of its Pumpkin Head... Of which Pumpkinhead designated the Desert Spirit to protect with the Red Lotus of the Red Pumpkinhead.

With Tetra getting prepared for the Alice Game by gaining the Fire Wisdom from her Fire Dad, she was able to compete with the other Alices of the Veritas instead of their Bloody Brothers, their Keepers, of which they were the Alices corresponding for Tymon to balance all of his Masculine and Female energies to each other in their Personifications of their Spirits. So, they sat there and continued to feast on the light -- Tetra, the Daughter Tymon Spirit comprised of all aspects and iterations of himself as a girl as a child as he saw himself (from Tabitha, the eldest, to Triere, the most pure, and even the Trinity that bound them together to Tao, who was also there). This was the true lineage of Girl Tymon, Himself.

When the Masculine and Feminine energies of Ty-chan's Fire side came together, Pumpkinhead himself was also balanced out in his over-masculine ways with the spark of flame that was his female self -- his younger sister, Pumki -- when they came back together. This was technically a fusion, since only Pumpkinhead and Pumki were split apart, and Pumpkinhead and Tigen were literally fraternal, not Siamese Twins, as Pumki and he were. So, their reunion with their Fire Spirits created a greater Fire Spirit between them... It was like the spirit of their Mother, the Late PumpQueen that allowed her crown to be upon the Friday of Tigen's choosing through Khrona. She was actually just Chita, but like... Chita at a higher restriction, since Chita harbored the Spirits of Pumpkinhead and also Pumki by default.
