Aramis landed next to a field of seven glowing lifeforms.
One such lifeform floated over to Aramis. It was three foot tall and it recognized him. "Aramis," it said. The other six glowing entities floated over to him.
Aramis looked up from his deep exhaustion. The glowing face of a child in a sun dress was before him.
"Pocky," Aramis said.
Pocky laughed. "Yes, it's me. My friends and I are on the way to see the Elder Wizard: Ace, at the Temple of the Ancients. Do you want to come along?"
"Do I have a chose?" Aramis asked.
"Yes," Pocky replied, "You can stay here and feel sorry for yourself and die, or you can come with us and do something to change things."
Aramis thought.
"Do you want to come with us or not?"
Aramis was unable to look at Pocky's light which shone bright even in this darkness. He finally managed to say, "Yes."
The children entities gathered around Aramis and picked him up.
