[Kain is still a little pale and sick-looking, but... he's alive.]

I've returned from true death twice now. I wonder whether this makes my luck better than average... or far worse.

[Worse for the dying in the first place, but better because... well, twice now he's faced what he thought was an eternal end for him, and come back both times. Kain pauses for a moment, gathering his thoughts. Going through death again reminds him though, of an important thing about what he saw.]

That dragon in the dream... I've encountered it before. All of Cosmos' warriors would have at the end of every cycle, whether they recall it or not. Its significance cannot be underestimated.

Hello, everyone! I come bearing news. And good news at that! Feels like a while since we had any of that, doesn't it?

This isn't really my announcement to be making, but Sunshine's not all too keen on the idea of showing her face right now after that whole fuss so I'm going to be playing messenger girl again. One of these days I'm going to end up forgetting whether I'm a princess or a postman, I swear. But that's irrelevant. The good news!

Seems like the eidolons felt like lending a hand. Not going to question it, because we have a cure now. Any members of the Healers should have a copy already - just check the shell, it's the paper inside. Any white mages who didn't sign up, let me know so I can send it over to you. Uh- I think Sunshine's tried to make it readable by people who aren't part-book, but I don't understand a word. If you have trouble with it, just drop a line, I'm sure she's not too embarrassed to help if she's needed.

The other news- well, it looks like this has hit the monsters even harder than it hit us, but it seems to have started to clear itself up. Ones that were sick are dead, ones that weren't aren't. Still worth being careful, but there's not too much risk in going out right now. I'd reckon it's probably safer than ever, with the monster numbers reduced as they are.

Hope everyone's doing okay.

(OOC: There'll be a folded paper in the shell when any of the Healers open it, with a spell transcribed on it. Anyone capable of using white magic can learn this spell. It only has one purpose: To cure the illness.

It might be a little very difficult to read, especially for those who aren't used to having to study magic to learn it. But Porom'll explain it to anyone who asks for help.

The illness event is going to start clearing up now! There'll still be a few cases around and popping up in the future but as a major event it's been cleared up.)
