Oz concentrated as best as she could in the ritual, trying her damn best to purify Lopzu. When the ritual was over, she saw the results: Lopzu was okay, but the strength of the Priestess almost drained. “Priestess!” Oz drops her instruments while they disappear, and run towards the Priestess, holding her and seeing her form almost disappear. “You're gonna be okay, I promise.” It was at this moment Lopzu was awake. Oz helps the Priestess stand up, and helps her get close to Lopzu. She put the Priestess in a comfortable position and then approached Lozpzu, giving the woman a look of relief. She nods and talks to Lopzu. “You are okay now. You received a really dangerous Curse, but thanks to the Priestess, my sisters and everyone, we were able to get rid of the Curse from your body.”

She then nodded her head towards the Priestess. “Thank you Priestess. Thank you for helping us save Lopzu's life.” Oz also takes a look at the Soothe Bell, and sees how the state of the item.

After everything said and done, Oz decided to find an ally. She looks at the distance and sees how dangerous the battle ahead is. So she decided to search for another trainer to join in the battle ahead. Part of her wants to see the Old Captain Lady, but even if she finds her, she doesn’t have the time to heal her wounds against the enemy. So she might search for another trainer to go help them fight against their hateful enemy. Maybe a Fire, Ice, Grass or Dark specialist, but at this point, she is not that picky in allies.

The Priestess wanely smiles as you prop her up, weakly patting you on the shoulder and giving you a warm smile as you help her up. Your presence seems to do her a world of good, as her form stops flickering and 're-solidifies' here and now. She gives you a grateful nod and waves you off to look after Lopzu - their isn't much more you can do for her, and she can still function fine enough to help aid you all. She just needs a bit of a breather right now...

The bestial swordswoman's head jerks your way and you could see her tense, one hand immediately resting on the hilt of one of their swords, before she calms upon seeing you. Well that and wince and stagger a bit from the sudden motion, still in the midst of Post-Purification weariness. She makes to get on her knees and bows to both you and the Priestess, wordlessly yet clearly demonstrating her sincere and honest gratitude for saving her from that AWFUL Curse.

The special Soothe Bell is 100% in good condition, though it seems to be expelling more smoke and it seems a bit shinier after the Ritual. 

(We'll leave discussion about the Random Recruits to your next post/)

Oz sights in relief to see the Priestess in a better state. She did approach Lopzu and was startled to see the swordswoman so jumpy, but it was understandable due to her situation. When she calmed down she told her. “I'm glad you are okay. Mr. Samsara was really worried about you. We purify you, but the battle is far from over. Me and my companions will soon go to the master behind this chaos and end him. If you still have some will to fight, meet us soon. If not, find some place to rest and be safe. Things will become very dangerous soon.”

She said those words, and then flew to find some new recruits. While in the air, she was accompanied by Fortuna. Oz herself was glad to see her crow pokemon with her, so she nodded her head. “You did amazing there, Fortuna. Thanks to you, we were able to chain the movements of the Sand-Goth. However, Sandlossugeist  is still out there, commanding its army. The battle…is far from over.”

She looked at the horizon, and told her master. “Fortuna…My old me would probably run away and hide after the last time we fought in a difficult fight years ago when…My friends died and Glinda died. I felt…guilty and weak for not being able to save them…To not be able to help any of you.”

“...I still carry this guilt…Even now and after everything, I still carry this guilt, and will probably carry it for the rest of my life…But…While there was a time I craved for death, this is not the case anymore.” She looks at Fortuna. “...I will carry this guilt in my heart, for the rest of my days. This is my penance…But I will honor the memories of my fallen comrades not with my death…But by living.”

“Fortuna, my sister. My mentor. My witch mother. You taught me so much, and you gave your trust to me when you chose me as your partner. I refused to disappoint you or the rest of our Coven with weakness. We will destroy Sandlossugeist. We will survive. And show everyone that today, Oz and her Coven are the most powerful Witches in all of Sütalor. That I promise.”

While having this conversation with her sister, Fortuna noticed a Skarmory patrolling the skies, and he was with some kind of strong looking person. Oz was quite curious, and seeing this situation might require some aerial power, she decided to approach the person with the Skarmory. She approaches the person, and when she does that, Fortuna lands on Oz's shoulder, while the White Witch gives the person a bow of respect.

“Salutations…Forgive me for meeting you this way, but I…could help but notice your uniform and that strong looking Skarmory…Are you…With the Sütalor Aerial and Air Force?”
