As the last Guardian disappeared, the glowing circle dimmed, then went dark. The normal light of the Suns returned, with only the central seal continuing to glow. The Gamer faced the open gate within the darkness. “I see,” he said, and with two quick strides stepped with the gate and vanished. With a great clang the gate slammed shut. The non-wind picked up again, blowing the last shreds of blue mist back through the gate. Wind faded, the gate faded, and finally the darkness faded. All that was left was the Gamer's supine form, non-moving within the seal.
"Wow!" gasped Serna as she shook her head in disbelief.
"By the scales of Bahamut himself!" Willow shared Serna's astonishment, "What did we just do?"
"Tommy! Are you alright? Tommy!" Irzen ran towards his friend, dropped to his knees and rolled him over to examine The Gamer, "Speak to me, pal! Come on! Speak to me!"
The most obvious thing was that Tommy had reverted to his human form. He was breathing slowly, and there was a faint but steady pulse, but he did not respond to Irzen's actions.
Kana stood in silence as the extent of what had just happened sunk in. After all those years, she was a bit fearful that she was dreaming and was going to wake up on the Tree. After a minute of nothing changing, she fell to her knees and started to cry, allowing the tears to flow freely and fearlessly. Then when the emotions could no longer be held, she howled a long, mournful howl for all those that were lost due to the Mercy's reign. Then after a moment of silence, she crawled over to Tommy to see if he was ok.
