As Mirby turned a corner to regroup with the others, since it was obvious that who she was waiting for wouldn't arrive any time soon, she thought she saw a ghost. "F...f...father?" she stuttered out.
"Yes... it is me."
"B..but how?"
"It is not important. Now, show me your blade."
"O... okay." She lifted the Claimh Solais into the air as Gregory lifted his Claimh Lunais. The two started to resonate, and the Lunais began to glow, and dismantle into its component particles, and they merged with the Claimh Solais. The holy blade glowed, and then all the dark energy that Gregory had absorbed began to flow into the blade. His appearance began to fade, dissipate, decay... Mirby looked shocked.
"Do not fear... for I will always be in the pendant..." he said, reassuringly. He vanished completely, and the pendant hung in the air for a second. A bit of energy kicked out of the blade and flowed into the latch. Mirby caught the pendant and put it back on. A voice whispered in her head. This will not be able to be removed, unless you remove it yourself. Now go and fight with your friends! Mirby nodded, and continued on her way with new determination.
