[Black'n white movie - somebody telling it first person to the viewer - style]
There was this eerie silence all over the place. Well, actually, it just felt not the same as it was, but I couldn't point it out... I thought it was just me, and the chilly winter, and let it be. But after a while, I just
knew something was wrong, but what? I went to investigate, starting with looking around the place, for any other signs of distress. It was as I expected; there was actually
less going on than usual. The people that were around got a long well, and everyone was at least a
little happy, when they all knew it in the back of their heads; something, some
essence is missing. I then started to ask people what they thought was going on. Their usual response was either ''Something wrong? It's been a little quieter around here, but I guess people get tired in this weather'' or ''Do you feel it too? I can't help you, but I wish you luck, finding it out''. This didn't really help me, but there more I asked around, the more 'the missing essence' seemed to take the form of a person. I knew what I had to do last: Check out the places where the people I knew were supposed to be around. I saw the Prophetic One, the Guy With Brain, the Purple Master and many more, but I knew one person wasn't around, and it was most notable in the places where he or she was supposed to be the most. Yes, I was close to a breakthrough, but I had to lay all the pieces together, to find out who it was. There it lay before me, in my mind. The pieces of the puzzle, at the right place, but it seemed one was missing. One tiny part that should clear up everything; one piece that connects every little detail of this mystery, but it didn't show itself. Later that day I got a letter. It seemed not like much; it was in an ordinary envelope, on normal paper, using normal ink, and a rather sophisticated way of writing. The message, though, was odd; it seemed encoded. The text was plain English, but what it said was very weird, so I looked for the algorithm that was obviously there. It then told me to go to the corner of the harbor, at 9 in the evening, when no one is around... When I got there -with a weapon. Who knows what could happen- a dark figure was awaiting me under a dim streetlight; the fog was particularly thick this day. When I got close, the shrouded someone remained unseen, seeming more... evil, even though it felt like an ally. With voice, they gave me the solution to that what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I didn't know it right then, because it was yet another thing to be unraveled: the description of the one, not the name. A riddle that could only be solved by master research. I left the person who stayed behind, and started looking through the pieces of the puzzle again, but also the books I have, and old newspapers, looking for a clue to ''One master of the imagination, however finite. One of the kingdom, of the inner light. One small change of form, to the alpha and omega. The person you seek will return with an 'ah'.''
What could that be? I
knew it was right in front of me, I
knew it so deeply, but where was it? I found everything there was to know, and the riddle seemed so obvious, but what did it say? Then it came to me, at last. Just when you think you would give up on hope, the clouds open up and shine upon you. It all made sense! 'One master of the imagination, however finite'. The imagination stands for Fantasy, and the fact that's it finite means Final. The person has something derived from Final Fantasy. The same was done for another game, called Kingdom Hearts - the kingdom was obvious, and ''the inner light'' turned out to be the heart. The third one did the last trick I needed: A change of form to the alpha and omega? The first and the last of something were different than usual; the letters were not really what they are... It all came together, I just didn't know what the ''return with an 'ah' '' meant, up until now. It bugged me, but it was not as great as the feeling that of victory, of knowing that the one that was missing was no one less than: §ephiroxa§!

I hoped you like the improvisation on my welcome back post. I didn't mean to make it
this big, but oh well, I like the result.
