Adventurer Stories

Adventurer Stories Episode 1 Intellectual Avarice Please note that this story contains spoilers for chapter 21 of the main campaign. Young Phares: I want to hear more stories today, Uranus! Uranus: You never tire of them, do you, child? Young Phares: I've made all manner of new discoveries because of your wisdom. Please, you must teach me more! Uranus: Very well, my pactbound child. I will confer my knowledge upon you once more. Uranus: I look forward to seeing what you do with it and how it evolves through you. Young Phares: I will not disappoint you! The Radiant City, Chanzelia Palace Guest Room Phares: Hmm... I must have fallen asleep What a nostalgic dream that was. Phares: *cough* *cough* Phares: Mmm. Blood. Taking into account my ragged breathing, chest pain, and discoloration of skin, I estimate my lungs to be 30 percent decayed. Phares: (So this is the end that awaits the puppet of the Progenitor, is it?) Phares: (Though really I should be happy I've lasted as long as I have. The Progenitor did say the wyrmscale made me a solid vessel.) Phares: How painfully ironic. With my disease now cured, I still can't escape the grim clutches of death. Phares: It was avarice that led to the resurrection of the Progenitor, and this must be my punishment for it. Chelle: Knock knock, dear brother. Chelle: Well, you look...poorly. Phares: Merely tired from the long journey here. Phares: Thankfully, this bedroom you provided afforded me some much needed rest. Chelle: Well, that's good to hear—but I doubt a soft bed will be enough to heal the most fundamental problem with your body. Phares: And that would be? Chelle: Clearly the aftereffects of being used by the Progenitor are enacting a terrible toll. Phares: I really cannot hide anything from you. Alas, you are correct: my body is beginning to shut down. Chelle: I knew it... Phares: Such sadness ill suits you, my sister. I brought this on myself, so keep your sympathy for others who have need of it. Chelle: What will you do now? Phares: Go to the Halidom, most likely. Chelle: Why there? Phares: I hear tell that our younger brother has called researchers of all sorts to his side. Phares: Perhaps our combined talents can find a way to beat back the Progenitor's threat. Chelle: THAT'S what you plan to do in your weakened condition? You really ought to take better care of yourself. Phares: It is precisely BECAUSE of my weakened condition that I must go; I doubt I'll live long enough to see the final battle. Phares: I want to atone for my actions, so if I can leave behind research that helps in the war to come, I aim to do so. Chelle: So this is atonement, then? Phares: My fear of death caused me to fall under the Progenitor's sway, which is why we now find ourselves in this unholy mess. Phares: The world should not have to pay the price for my own egotism. Chelle: Harsh, but fair. As royalty, we must each take responsibility for our own actions. Chelle: Though speaking of our family line, what happened to your pactwyrm? Phares: Uranus? Chelle: I'm certain you remember how the Other was able to use Zodiark while he possessed our father. Chelle: I figured the same was true of the Progenitor and Uranus, but have heard nothing of his fate. Phares: He is dead—killed by my own hands. Chelle: Oh no... Phares: You know I was experimenting on how to alter a dragon through black mana, yes? Well, Uranus... He was my test subject. Phares: And as it was my first experiment, I did not hold back. Phares: He proved unable to withstand the black mana. Chelle: But Uranus was no mere pactwyrm— he was your mentor and friend! In fact, I remember him teaching you a great many things. Phares: Indeed, I learned more from him than I ever could have gleaned from any book. His mind was...fascinating. Chelle: I also heard you once saved his life! Phares: Indeed I did... Young Phares: (I thought I heard something groaning over here...) Uranus: Graaaagh... Young Phares: (A dragon! And what is this next to it?) Uranus: Do not trouble yourself with me, human... My body is being ravaged by an... unknown poison... Young Phares: Hmm... I recognize this fragment from a book I read about ancient weaponry. Have you somehow awakened an ancient relic? Uranus: I reduced it to dust... But I did not expect it to contain a poison capable of harming a mighty dragon... GRAAAAAGH! Young Phares: Keep still, dragon; I know how to craft an antidote for this poison. Young Phares: Wait here. I will bring it to you. Uranus: What...is your name, human? Young Phares: Phares, the second scion of Alberia. Chelle: ...After you nursed him back to health, the two of you became pactbound, yes? Chelle: You gave him life only to take it away in some mad experiment? Such cruelty is unthinkable, Brother. Phares: To say I intentionally healed him is not quite correct—I merely wanted to test if what my book said was true. Phares: I have always viewed medical treatment as just another kind of experiment— though I'm certain Uranus resented the way I toyed with his life. Chelle: Perhaps you did not mean to harm him. Perhaps the Progenitor was wielding some manner of terrible influence that drove you to such ends. Phares: Who can say? It is true that my body and mind were influenced by the Progenitor... Phares: But even so, I am not free of blame; I have ever been unable to control the curiosity that rages inside of me. Phares: Additionally, my heart has harbored a kind of resentment against dragons ever since I was diagnosed with wyrmscale. Chelle: Oh, Phares... Phares: That is why I distanced myself from Uranus, and harbored neither guilt nor sadness over the way I abused him. Phares: I am an incredibly selfish man—so selfish that I destroyed my own mentor simply to fulfill my own twisted desires. Chelle: ...... Phares: All of that to say Uranus will not be a problem for us in the coming battle. Phares: Yes, well, I should take my leave soon. I wish you good health, Sister. Chelle: Oh, my dear brother... Phares: I've finally arrived... *cough* Phares: *pant* *pant* I can...still make it.... I still have time. Phares: (My greatest sin was making light of life, and I will gladly accept any punishment for that.) Phares: (But I cannot stand aside and let the world bear what is rightfully my own suffering. I must make haste!) Phares: This is the first time I've met many of you, but now is not the time for pleasantries. Phares: Our great battle against the Progenitor is nigh, yet there remains much we do not understand about our foe. Phares: I care not what field of research you choose or what methods you use; I ask only that you share aught which might be of assistance in laying low our great foe. Phares: Will you do this thing, my new friends? Will you lend me your aid? Everyone: Of course! Phares: (I just need a little more time... I must hold out until the last battle!) Episode 2 Longing for Freedom Kleimann: Oh my, yes! Look at the logs of this ritual! Perhaps it has something to do with the Progenitor! Phares: A record from 500 years ago, is it? Hmm, it doesn't use the name "Progenitor," but it does indeed appear to be referring to them with a codename. Phares: Can you decipher it, Kleimann? Kleimann: WHEE HEE HEE HA HA HA HOO! I haven't devoted my life to the study of ritual magic for nothing, you know! Phares: Good. Let us hope there is something useful there at the day's end. Heinwald: That ritual is heretical, and thus forbidden. As royalty, are you certain you wish to delve further into such subjects? Phares: One cannot find the truth without exploring the realm of the taboo. Surely this is a concept you are familiar with? Phares: If our work here leads to a strategy against the Progenitor, I care not how heretical the means are to that end. Heinwald: You're fortunate my companion isn't around to hear you say that. Heinwald: Well then, I suppose I shall do as I please. It isn't every day that one is able to throw off the shackles of convention to such a degree, after all! Nefaria: You summoned us hence with cause, good sir, yet I fear I know little in the matter of physic or inquest. Phares: All I ask is that you try. I would like you to learn what you can about the Progenitor from the perspective of the Sandreach. Nefaria: Aye, the history of my people is long and longer still, and there may yet be clues about that scapegrace hidden amongst our many annals. Nadine: And while you're blowing dust off books or whatever, I'll wrangle up the other dunefolk and, like, get 'em to help! Girl, we're gonna DO this thing! Cassandra: I shouldn't be surprised that you could supervise the many...unique types of people here in the Halidom, dearie, and yet I still find myself impressed. Phares: You have been a great help as well, Cassandra. Cassandra: Well, I brought the results of Sinoa's research. She would have come herself, but the poor thing is still cleaning up the more explosive results of her work. Phares: You have my thanks. Perhaps space-time magic will prove the key to sealing away the Progenitor once and for all. Cassandra: Forgive me, dearie, but didn't you already have another plan in place for that? Phares: One cannot have enough backup plans when it comes to a battle against the very creator of the world. Cassandra: Ha! You're clearly the son of that cautious Aurelius, and no mistake! ...Hmm? Sophie: S-sorry to interrupt. I just had something I wanted to say to Prince Phares. Phares: There is need for such formalities among we fellows of science. Sophie: O-okay...Phares. Phares: You are the mana observer Sophie, yes? What did you need? Sophie: Well, I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the Progenitor, but I've noticed something about your own mana. Phares: Which is? Sophie: It's very slight—hardly noticeable unless I really focus—but I sense a strange mana about you that... Well, it isn't yours. Cassandra: Were you aware of this, Phares? Phares: No. I had no idea. Sophie: Er, would you permit me to maybe look into this some more? It might be having some kind of effect on your body. Phares: While I appreciate your concern, further research is unnecessary. Phares: I imagine my mana simply changed as a result of how the Progenitor used me. Phares: We lack the time to look into anything other than what will help us in this fight, so my strange mana will need to wait. Sophie: I...I see. Phares: ...... Phares: Nicolas has written a detailed report, and Althemia has some rather perceptive points to make as well... Phares: Hmm? This is from Sophie. I specifically told that woman not to bother looking into my mana situation, and yet... Phares: (Observations on the Effects on Mana Following Possession by the Progenitor.) Phares: "I suspect that Phares's mana has become corrupted and changed by the influence of the Progenitor, who uses black mana." Phares: "However, as far as I can observe, this seems to be causing no ill effects. In fact, the mana appears to be protecting him." Phares: "I hypothesize that this unknown mana may be a defense mechanism of his own mana." ...An interesting theory. Phares: Unknown mana resting within me...hmm... Phares: (I could test whether it is acting as a defense mechanism by infusing myself with black mana! No, but before that—) Phares: Enter! Phares: Sophie? Is everything all right? Sophie: It seemed like you were still awake, so I brought you some tea. Er...is this a good time? Phares: Perfect, in fact; I am in need of a break. Sophie: I'm glad to hear... Oh! That's my report! Phares: And a fascinating report it is. Sophie: I'm sorry! I know you told me we didn't have the time to look into it, but I just couldn't stop thinking about it! Phares: I know all too well what it's like when an idea worms its way into one's mind. Phares: And your report has piqued my curiosity about this mysterious mana as well. Phares: Scholars such as ourselves are drawn to the unknown. When a mystery arises, we cannot stop until we have uncovered all there is to know about it. Sophie: Then why don't we look into it? Sophie: I know it doesn't have much to do with the fight ahead, but it DOES have something to do with you. Sophie: Mana can carry people's thoughts and feelings, so maybe yours is actually trying to tell you something! Sophie: But more than that, if this is something you want to know, then it's something you SHOULD know. Phares: ...I can't say I am entirely uninterested. Sophie: Then...? Phares: But as I said before, we lack the time for research that will do nothing save sating my own curiosity. Sophie: Could you really just let this go? Phares: What? Sophie: The way I see it, the fact we lack the time means we should look into it more. Sophie: With so few days left to us, we should use them to fulfill the things we truly want. Phares: I didn't... Sophie: I observed your mana, so I know the state it's in. Your mana is stagnant, as if it's being restrained by something. Sophie: Mana is something that is meant to be as free as the wind. Your current situation can't be good for you. Sophie: I believe the reason your mana has stagnated is internal—that the effect is psychological. Phares: Is that so? Sophie: So please, listen to the voice of your heart. Sophie: And take care of yourself, all right? Mana disruptions can affect the body. Phares: I appreciate the warning. Phares: The voice of my heart... Phares: (I haven't been free since the moment the wyrmscale began ravaging my body.) Phares: (What would I have done if I hadn't been afraid of death coming at any moment? If I had always been...healthy?) Phares: (I'd likely I have thrown myself wholeheartedly into my research, longing to find what truths this world may hide.) Phares: Heh. Why am I thinking of my own wants at a time like this? Phares: I don't have the time to ruminate about freedom. Nothing can change this. Phares: Right now, I must formulate what direction we'll take in tomorrow's research. Phares: (But I still am grateful for your consideration, Sophie.) Episode 3 The Royal Decree Cassandra: What in the name of pennywhistles are you talking about?! Phares: I believe I made myself clear. Phares: I will be leaving the task of overseeing all Progenitor research at the Halidom to you. Phares: You will be able to utilize such information in this fight ahead better than I ever could. Cassandra: But you're still HERE. Why pass the responsibility on to me now? Phares: You know very well why. Cassandra: ...So it's that bad? Phares: It is. Cassandra: Just wait a few more days, dearie. I'll find a way to heal you. Phares: No need. I have given up on fighting death. Cassandra: Well, you may have given up, but I won't just sit back on my cozy davenport and wait for one of his heirs to die! Phares: It is well, Cassandra.  ???: It is NOT well, you maddening man. Chelle: You will be undergoing treatment from Chanzelia's medical corps, and that is the end of the discussion. Phares: Chelle?! Chelle: Did you really expect me to do nothing after hearing how your life hangs by the thinnest of threads? Chelle: I've gathered the world's finest doctors from North Grastaea, South Grastaea, Taiwu, and Hinomoto to aid you. Chelle: It is no exaggeration to say this team represents a gathering of the entire world's medical expertise. Phares: I remain as impressed as ever by your diplomatic prowess, dear sister. Chelle: Oh, but we have more than just doctors: my research division has been hard at work creating the most technologically advanced medical facilities ever seen. Chelle: Come with me to Chanzelia, Phares. Get treatment. Heal thyself. Phares: While I am very much intrigued by this medical corps you've assembled, I would have you use it in the battle to come instead of squandering it on me. Chelle: Did it ever occur to your stubborn brain that you might be NEEDED in that battle? Chelle: I will have you aboard the Gran Fiore if I have to drag you there by force. Phares: You are being childish. Chelle: Oh, but this is not childishness, Brother. It is a royal decree. Chelle: Your knowledge and wisdom will likely prove necessary in the times to come. Chelle: No matter how strong an army, it will always lose without a sound strategy. I'm keeping you alive so we might win. Phares: I see no reason why you cannot lead our army just as well as myself. Chelle: Because you have all the knowledge you've accumulated in all your research, plus memories from when the Progenitor was using you as his vessel. Chelle: There are none better suited as a tactician for this fight than you. Chelle: A ruler should be able to tell how best to utilize their own life, and you are nothing if not a ruler, Phares. Phares: Your skill at masking emotion with logic has greatly improved, little sister. Chelle: That sounds like projection to me, big brother. Phares: I do not argue based on emotion; I merely state objective facts. Phares: Were it not for the Progenitor, I would be dead long since. The fact I still draw breath is an aberration, nothing more. Phares: Behold our current predicament if you doubt me! This is what happened the last time I tried to fight death. Chelle: I'm going to ask you something, and I need an honest answer. Chelle: Do you truly believe that dying a useless death serves as satisfactory atonement? Chelle: Is surrendering yourself to death honestly what you want? Phares: ...... Chelle: I would hear your answer, Brother. Phares: I... Leif: Prince Phares! Chelle: Not now, Leif! Phares: Let him speak, Chelle. Leif: My apologies for the interruption, but His Highness has just received an urgent message from Valkaheim. Phares: From Leonidas? Chelle: Did something happen? Leif: Countless fiends and unidentified dragons have descended upon Valkaheim. Leif: The dragons are cloaked in massive amounts of black mana, and powerful though Prince Leonidas may be, this fell horde threatens to overwhelm him. Phares: Ah, I see. He seeks to hold them at bay in the hopes I know a way to deal with the black mana that powers them. Phares: Chelle, take me to the Gran Fiore. We must make for Valkaheim! *cough* Chelle: Phares! Cassandra: Phares! Phares: *pant* *pant* Merely a flare-up—do not trouble yourselves overmuch. Now please, take me to Valkaheim with all speed! Chelle: Going to the front lines as you are now would be suicide! Phares: Who do you think more necessary for the upcoming battle: Leonidas or myself? Chelle: ! Phares: If I refuse to help Leonidas and the worst comes to pass, our ability to stand against the Progenitor would drastically weaken. Phares: This fate must be avoided at all costs. We NEED Leonidas in the battle to come. Phares: You said yourself that a ruler is meant to know how to utilize their own life, yes? Phares: Then give the order, Chelle! Chelle: ...Very well. Phares: Leif, gather reinforcements to send to Valkaheim. Cassandra, I leave the research team to you. Leif & Cassandra: Yes, Your Highness! Phares: You've grown into a most strong woman, Chelle, but your kind heart is the same as it has ever been. Chelle: ...Do you think that's the sort of praise I want to hear? Hmph. Leonidas: Blast! It's just one after the other! Phares: I came as quickly as I could, Leonidas. Leonidas: And yet you still kept me waiting. But where is our sister? You were aboard the Gran Fiore, were you not? Phares: She remained behind to manage the defense of Chanzelia. If the worst comes to pass and we fall here, the Radiant City will be in danger as well. Leonidas: I called you here to AVOID the worst coming to pass. Phares: Ah, yes. You wish me to solve your little black mana situation, do you not? Leonidas: Just lend me your wit, if naught else. We cannot permit them to violate this land any more than they already have! Phares: Of course. Let us deal with them at once! Episode 4 Punishment Meted Leif: Leave the fiends to us! Phares: Very good. Now then... Unknown Dragon: ...... Phares: The black mana is so thick it cloaks the dragon itself. That's even more than I expected. Leonidas: We cannot even determine if our attacks are hitting home or not. Phares: Can Mars still fight? Leonidas: Of course. Though he suffers some effects of the black mana, it is nothing that cannot be overcome. Phares: You are too reckless, Brother. Leonidas: And you are the last person I wish to hear such an assessment from. Phares: Fair enough. Well then, if Mars can move, we still have a chance of victory. Phares: I will deal with the black mana. Thanks to the Progenitor, I've come to understand how to handle it. Unknown Dragon: ROOOOOOAR! Phares: He approaches! Phares: There! Leonidas: His lance hit the mark! No, wait... Phares: Nnngh... Haaah! Leonidas: No! The fool is using the lance to absorb the black mana! Leonidas: (Idiocy! A human being cannot possibly withstand... Ah, but this is Phares we speak of; I'm certain he has already taken such things into consideration.) Leonidas: Mars! Rain hellfire upon this dragon while the black mana is weakened! Leonidas: Full alchemical burst! Mars: ROOOOAR! Phares: *pant* *pant* Did...did we do it? Leonidas: Indeed we did. The dragon was incinerated along with all of the remaining black mana. Leonidas: But I must say, it's very unlike you to have devised such a suicidal plan. Phares: It was merely...the best plan for the current situation. *cough* *hack* Leonidas: Here. Take my shoulder. I doubt you can move more than a few steps as you are. Phares: I never thought the day might come when you would lend me a shoulder, Brother. Leonidas: Silence. I'm the one who called you out here, and this is the least I can... Hmm? Unknown Dragon: *growl* Leonidas: Blast! The tenacious beast yet stands! Phares: But the black mana has mostly dispersed. Wait...is that...?! Phares: Uranus! Leonidas: Your pactwyrm?! Phares: But...that's impossible! Uranus is dead! Leonidas: Explain yourself, Phares. Phares: Uranus perished during my experiments to create a black-mana dragon. Leonidas: To think you would use him so... Well, if that be the case, why does he stand before us now? Phares: I'm at a loss for answers myself. Uranus: GRAAAAAAAAAGH! Leonidas: By hook or crook, your wyrm has somehow escaped death. I think it is time to give the poor creature a proper funeral. Leonidas: Now that he's no longer shielded by the black mana, he is no match for us. Come, Mars! Show the power of our pact! Phares: Leonidas! Leonidas: Die, beast! Full alchemical burst! Uranus: GRAAAAAAAAGH! Phares: ...... Phares: (Leonidas seems to have the upper hand, yet I can't shake this sensation that something is terribly wrong.) Phares: (Even though Uranus is still standing, I know that attack landed. But how did he even survive in the first place?) Sophie: And take care of yourself, all right? Mana disruptions can affect the body. Phares: (Perhaps this is the effect of mana from when Uranus was nearing death...) Phares: (Black mana causes a dragon's negative emotions to grow stronger until they can no longer retain their sanity.) Phares: I have always viewed medical treatment as just another kind of experiment— though I'm certain Uranus resented the way I toyed with his life. Phares: (If the black mana in my experiment reacted to Uranus's feelings of hate at the moment of death...) Phares: (It might have grown powerful enough to infuse his entire body, pulling him back from the brink and starting him on this mad rampage.) Phares: (Yes... Yes, that makes sense.) Phares: But if Uranus lives because of the black mana, it means the reason he was able to stand once more is... Leonidas: BURN! Phares: LEONIDAS, STOP! DO NOT ATTACK AGAIN! Leonidas: ALCHEMICAL EXPLOSION! Uranus: ROAAAAAAAAR! Leonidas: What in the blazes...? HNNNGH! Leonidas: (No! The black mana is getting inside my body!) Uranus: ROOOOAR! Leonidas: (I can't dodge it!) Leonidas: What?! Phares: Nnngh... Leonidas: PHARES! Phares: Y-you're alive... Thank goodness... *cough* *hack* Leonidas: Why did you protect me? Phares: Because...you need to live... more than I... Leonidas: How can you say this? Phares: We need you...in the battle to come... Now please...leave me here... Leonidas: Still such talk at once, you fool. Damn, but these wounds run deep... Phares: All is well, Leonidas... I wasn't... long for this world anyway... Phares: I did all that I could...and in the end... I glad I died protecting my dear brother... Phares: I have no regrets... Now...live on... Leonidas: Phares, no! PHAREEEEES! Episode 5 Like the Wind Phares: I should have died on that day, and I cursed fate for its cruelty in bringing me back once more. Phares: I could not understand why I alone was forced to live with such a terrible affliction. Phares: So I refused to accept that fate, and instead stained my hands by bringing about the resurrection of the Progenitor. Phares: And it would seem I was a selfish person to the very end, for despite the atrocities I committed, I allowed myself to feel joy. Phares: Joy that I could once again speak to my family, and joy that I could live as myself once more. Phares: But I won't turn from death this time. Phares: I gave my life to save my beloved family, and I have no regrets. Leonidas: Enough of this madness! You always wanted to live more than any of us! Phares: ?! Phares: Leonidas...? Leonidas: How dare you claim to have no regrets, you maddening fool! Leonidas: Your will to live was so strong it drove you to embrace the Progenitor itself! Leonidas: So I will not stand by and watch you welcome death now. Fight, my brother! Dig your claws into the earth and FIGHT! Phares: ! Sophie: So please, listen to the voice of your heart. Chelle: Is surrendering yourself to death honestly what you want? Phares: (Of course not...) Phares: (All I've ever wished for is...) Phares: ...to live. To live! I WANT TO LIVE! Leonidas: Then don't you dare give up now! Fight against your destiny and put some good back into this world! Phares: Heh. Well said, Brother. Uranus: ROOOOOAR! Leonidas: Tch! Back for more, eh? Phares: Leonidas? Bring Uranus to me. Leonidas: You look to use yourself as bait, then? Phares: In a sense. As he goes to feast on me, I will absorb his remaining black mana. In that moment, you will finish him off. Phares: And please believe me when I say I have no intention of dying in this fight! Leonidas: Very well. Mars, to me! Leonidas: OVER HERE, FELL BEAST! Uranus: ROOOOOAR! Phares: Nnngh! Phares: Now, Uranus... Now I will finally free you from the black mana I so cruelly forced you to bear! HAAAAAAAH! Uranus: ROOOOOOARGH! Phares: DO IT, LEONIDAS! Leonidas: Your end draws nigh, dragon! Haaaah! Uranus: ROAAAAAAARGH! Phares: *pant* *pant* That...should do it... Leonidas: You have my thanks. Phares: I am merely happy to be of use. *cough* Leonidas: You are a terrible liar. Phares: What makes you say such? Leonidas: You boasted about having no intention of dying here. Phares: And I live, as you can clearly see. Leonidas: Your body has reached its limit. Hasn't it? Phares: Perhaps...but I still have no regrets... for I finally lived in a way of MY choosing. Leonidas: ...... Phares: But...I really don't want to die... Phares: If only...I had more time... Leonidas: Hmm? What is this mana? Phares: Where am I? Uranus: It has been some time, my pactbearer. Phares: Uranus! How are you...? Uranus: Now is the time for me to repay my debt. Phares: You cannot possibly be referring to the single time I saved your life?! Phares: How can you possibly owe ME when I used you in my horrible experiments?! Uranus: Yes, that you did. And what of it? Phares: I...I don't understand. Uranus: Had you not saved me all those years ago, I'd not have survived long enough to endure your experiments. Phares: Then were you resigned to your fate? Uranus: I accumulated much knowledge in my many long years. But humans? Humans are always creating new things—many of which far surpass my own wisdom. Uranus: So I was fascinated to see what a human who was granted my wisdom could create, and regret none of our time together. Phares: We both carried the same ideals, then. Uranus: Indeed we did, human—it is why I formed a pact with you in the first place. Uranus: This pact ended up being quite useful, for even though you were on death's door, I was able to provide you with my mana. Phares: So the mana lying within me... Uranus: You must live, Phares—live and further the human pursuit of knowledge to your own heart's content. Uranus: And even though my body is lost, I will become your mana and see how humans grow and evolve alongside you. Phares: Uranus, wait! Uranus: Being with you gave me so much joy, so please...accept this gift. Phares: URANUS! Phares: Ah! Where am I?! Chelle: Finally awake, are we? Phares: Chelle...? Am I really alive? Leonidas: Unless I have suddenly gained the ability to speak with the dead, then yes. Phares: Leonidas... Leonidas: Once Uranus's mana surrounded you, your wounds healed themselves. Chelle: Imagine my surprise—and, frankly disappointment—to haul my entire medical corps all this way only to find them wholly unnecessary! Chelle: In addition to your wounds healing, the decayed parts of your body have recovered as well. Chelle: We suspect there are hardly any aftereffects from your ordeal with the Progenitor left at all. Phares: Uranus saved my life... Phares: (So the mana resting within me was Uranus's all along...) Phares: (And the reason my body didn't decay faster was because it kept me alive.) Chelle: What will you do now, Phares? Chelle: Now that you no longer have to worry about your health, I mean. Phares: To begin with, I will seek to rectify all of my wrongdoings. Leonidas: Your "wrongdoings?" Phares, I want you to listen to me, and listen well: Leonidas: It is human nature to cling to life. It is not some kind of sin. Phares: I know. And thank you—both of you. Phares: I never thought I would return here. Phares: (Now I know that Uranus's mana rests within me.) Phares: (It is an odd twist of fate indeed to be saved by a dragon after my dragonblood caused me to suffer so...) Phares: Ah, the breeze feels very nice. It reminds me how Sophie said that mana is meant to be as free as the wind. Phares: I will not waste the freedom you have granted me, Uranus. Phares: I will defeat the Progenitor and protect this world!
