The knife slides in without resistance, without a sound, without any pain....or regret.
You feel the Immense Surprise, Shock, and....Awe that this Shrine....
The Argent Flame of Prosperity...

Your Noble Gift.
Your Grand Sacrifice.
Your Heartfelt Wish.
Your Sincere Amends.
Your D e a t h .
You don't feel much of anything, anymore. You slip away,
away,
away.....

Music: ***
Lani cups her own face in sheer horrified surprise, eyes shrinking to pinpoints.
Kayla, still standing guard, senses something gravely amiss and rushes over to the shrine.
Your sister burst from their Balls, swarming all over your form with deepest shock, dread, and tearful defiance. Fortuna wrenches a Max Revive from your Inventory and tries to use it, but it just does not work. Hecate looks so confused and devestated, opening bawling as she just didn't understand WHY her Mother-Master would KILL HERSELF like this...!!!
Persaphone and Bethy....they didn't react nearly as harshly. Instead, they watched Oz's body with rigid, rapt attention, their Ghostly auras flaring to life with an intensity rivaling that of the Argent Flame.
Mezna was just....surprised. Not distraught, but in disbelief at what their new Trainer pulled. She did not wail or get mad, though. The Faffur simply....nodded to the body. Understanding. Accepting.
Dite was just so confused, so distressed, she flat out Fainted from the stress of it all.
@Dragonstrike , @Iron , @Mikaruge108
In an instant you Know, deep within your Bones, your very S O U L , that something has happened to Oz the Healer. Your Astral Stones burn furiously, radiating a celestial glow at this....
Grave and irrepairable loss.

Music: Beyond the Door
@Pokekitty2
Or is it ?
While on the way to the Saloon with Myra - who herself suddenly goes rigid at what happened - you get the exact same feeling as everyone else in the merry little band you joined.
Unlike them, though, you Knew something Different.
Something Special
A Grave, Tremendous Sacrifice has Taken Place
Oz as the Wooloo.They are d e a d .
Gave their L i f e.
To bring one back
That gave theirs For them.
But You
Y o u
Y O U
Y O U C A N G I V E W H A T H A S B E E N G I V E N
All it takes....
Is
a
simple
"Wish."
You and Myra vanish -
~~~
- and reappear right in the Shrine.
Myra, off to the side, her tails fanned wide as she Looked at the Argent Flame...
You (Sylvia) hovering over the body of Oz, eyes aglow with Great and Wise P O W E R .
A Max Revive is Removed from your Inventory, and through your P O W E R -
Through the super-charged Baton Pass you used to get here -
And the Solemn, Defiant Wish you have:
Music: Agnus Dei"
"Rise. Live again."
- the Max Revive is Empowered. FAR beyond its limits. It transforms into a sphere of pure energy
Pure L I F E
....and shoots straight into Oz.
~~~
...
...
...
".....oz.....
"....oz....
"...Oz...!
"..Oz..!!
".Oz.!!!"
"OZ!!!!!"
Music: Stops
......Until something grabs your hand.
Something that feels familiar.
Someone.
"OZ, YOU.....YOU......YOOOOOOU.......!"
You are yanked from the Abyss
and back into the Light.

The moment the Orb of L I F E entered Oz...
...ALL the Blood she split
The L i f e and D e a t h she gave so freely and selflessly
It floats into the air, goes straight into the silver bowl -
- and then bowl into the Argent Flames.
The Shrine room erupts with its Prosperous Power, the flames leaping out of the braizer and engulfing Oz.
Sylvia presided over all, like a [Grand Hierophant].
Myra, Persaphone, and Bethy eyes suddenly glowed, and the very flames took on a Ghostly sheen as they focused their own Intent and Aid onto It and her
Oz
Oz and....!
**S H A T T E R**
The Argent Flames exploded.
The shockwave, the aftermath, the sheer w e i g h t driving everyone back or onto their knees.
Sylvia collaspes from the air, slumping over onto the ground and feeling the weight of her own Sacrifice to make her Wish come true.
Oz's Sisters, one and all, Flinch away from the blast, but when they turned and opened their eyes they all let out strangled gasps.
For crouched...
Unmarred.
Unbloodied.
Was their Master and Sister Oz.
Alive.
Music: * * *
Alive....and cradled by someone else.
Someone who was crying furiously as they were hugged fiercely, trembling and shaking as she held Oz.
Her Master, Sister, and most very Cherished One.
"....YOU IDIOT!!!"
Glinda the Goodwhich said to Oz, who was now barely conscious, staring down at them with fury...
Fury born of worry and fright.
"YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS! I GAVE MY LIFE FOR YOURS! YOU WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO...TO....!"
Glinda sagged, holding you ever closer."...To give back what I free gave....."
The woman, the Pokemon, bowed her head."Oz....thank you. Thank you....you idiot."
The Shrine fell silent.The Argent Flame retreated, dimmer and subdued, yet.....proud of what it helped Fulfil.
For this....
This...
This was Truly a most Miraculous of Wishes.
Oz is Alive - She suffers no Penalties to her Stats, but Loses her Remaining Encounters for the Day, 1 Moderate Encounter for the next Day, and all her Minor Encounters for Tomorrow as well. She only has 2 Minor Encounter Remaining. + 1 Fortune to Oz.
Glinda the Goodwitch's Fate has been Changed - She is Alive, and now Reunited with her Sister. 5/5 Loyalty and Happiness, but very irate at her idiotic Sister's decisions thus far. The ramifications of this will be discussed via PM. + 1 Fortune to Glinda (2)
Sylvia loses her Max Revive, 10 Will, and is Beyond Exhausted: - 5 to All Rolls for the Rest of Today, - 2 for Tomorrow. However, she feels that a certain Someone Knows what they did and are Pleased and Proud of it...
All of Oz's Pokemon BUT Bethy, Persaphone, and Meza lose 2 Loyalty and Happiness, and are deeply upset by what their Sister did. Bethy, Persaphone, and Meza, on the other hand, GAIN 1 Happiness and Loyalty - if this goes over the Cap, ignore said Cap.
Lani, Myra, and Kayla gain 10 XP from this experience.
Akamu gains 1 Point in Earth Power, and their Patron now has an interest in Oz.
Every PC knows Oz is now fine and Alive - + 5 XP and + 1 Will.
