Epilogue IV
“It would appear that the Ghost has truly disappeared. The last image we got of her was from when she found a seemingly remote place out in the middle of the desert and then she disappeared.” The Reporter began, as a clip of Cassiopeia holding onto the brightly glowing purple shard was seen dashing away at great speeds, before ultimately dropping into a meditative stance, then focusing her mind on the stone.
At this point Cassiopeia glitched once. It was a glitch, there was no other way to describe what was happening to her, as she was there, then completely disappeared only to reappear. At which point all three of her eyes opened up to stare at the stone.
Then with her mind focused on the task at hand, she seemed to center her entire mind and body on the stone, causing the stone to release even more dense clouds of purple smoke. Then she flickered in and out of reality a second time, before completely disappearing a third time.
“This was right around the time when the feeds for Cassiopeia all shut off, citing that she had the Dark Horse flaw, meaning she could not receive monetary compensation for her feeds. Up until recently this had been a loophole as it just meant pure revenue for the parent company. Yet, thanks to the new Supreme Court case of Utah versus Stanton, one sided indefinite content generation contracts are determined to be illegal. This case, while involving professional gamers and their streaming licenses, has had a wide blanket effect on the streaming landscape. Meaning that for the moment, the company that produces BiPrism has cut off all feeds from people who took the Dark Horse flaw, which would seemingly fall under one sided indefinite content generation contracts. This is good, as it means that eventually Cassiopeia and her family can gain the benefits of her actions, but only once an agreement has been worked out.” The reporter states, then shifting from the news, he relaxes his posture as he begins to speak candidly to the camera.
“Now, onto the More Rumors than Truth segment of our show, I would be remis to leave out the fact that a few of our deeper lurkers of all things digital have come up with a master class theory of what is actually happening. See, as many of you might or might not be aware, Cassiopeia’s granddaughter, who will remain nameless for the time being, had stage four cancer. This was noted by both Mallory and Gwendolyn’s attempts to get her to be their outside source of information. Well, this new theory poses the suggestion that shortly after Cassiopeia began giving detailed classes on how magic works, making note to a great granddaughter, again names left out due to privacy reasons, her mother, the granddaughter had a miraculous cure that many are calling a minor miracle. But I pose this question to you all, is it truly a stand-alone miracle? Or could this be the fate of things to come?” With that the reporter gives a wide smile, before signing out.
“As always, thank you for watching, and tune in next time to see what we uncover next.”
