Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Hernia:... Fenriart is really amazing... Your El ability became stronger in just a short time.
Hernia:... Whew, how long has it been since it's been this peaceful? I wish everyday was like this!
???:(Rustle)
Hernia:... Huh? What's going on...
Hernia:Sigmund...? Ah...?!
Sigmund:Keuhehehehe...!! Hernia, if only I could steal the El energy you possess, I'd be able to get rid of that good for nothing Fenriart...!!!
Hernia:I... can't breathe... S-Stop....
Sigmund:Bastard, do you think you can become the Master of the Sun? Stop kidding yourself... It belongs to me!!!!
Hernia:Fen.... Fenriar.... t....!
Fenriart:... Hernia.. I hope she's safe.
Fenriart:She's so despondent all the time... I worry for her.
Hernia's Voice:(Help... me, Fenriar...)
Fenriart:... Hernia?
Hernia's Voice:Fenri... art...
Fenriart:Hernia!!
Fenriart:Hernia!!!
Sigmund:Who's there?!
Fenriart:Brother...? What... What have you done...!
Sigmund:Kuek, you... Why are you here... Keukhuhu, it doesn't matter!
Sigmund:If I could just get this brat's El energy... I could become the Master!!
Fenriart:Stop!!
Sigmund:Shut up!!
(FLASH!!)
Fenriart:Kugh!
Sigmund:I posses the strongest El power in the Solace family! I can easily get rid of somenoe like you!!
Fenriart:Ke... euk, Le... t go... of Hernia!!
Sigmund:I can't do that. Once I take this brat's El energy, then I will become the world's greatest El being!! Keuhahaha!!
Fenriart:Stop!!
(Flash!!)
Sigmund:Kugh...!! Cough...
Sigmund:F... Fenriart... how dare you...
(THUMP)
Fenriart:...
Sigmund:...
Fenriart:H, Hernia... Hernia!!!
Hernia:Fenri... art...?
Fenriart:Are you okay? Are you injured?
Hernia:Run, Fenriart! Sigmund won't forgive you!
Fenriart:...
Hernia:Is that Sigmund? Don't tell me...
Hernia:... he's dead...?
Fenriart:This place isn't safe for you. Many want to become Masters, and would do anything in their power like Sigmund... to try to take your El energy.
Hernia:Then... what do we do...?
Fenriart:Let's leave this place.
Hernia:?!
Fenriart:It's the only solution. Staying here will put Hernia's life in danger.
Hernia:Fenriart... but...
Fenriart:The Night of Ishmael is when the next heir of the El Lady is chosen... Pack lightly and meet me in the backyard where we used to meet. I'll see you there, Hernia.
Hernia:... Okay, alight. I'll do it.

Fenriart:(Hernia's not here yet...?)
Fenriart:(Then again... the night watch will make it difficult to get away...)
Fenriart:(If Hernia can't get out... I'll have to go and get her.)
Fenriart:(... She's late.... I hope nothing is wrong..)
Fenriart:(Hernia's room is... that way... Huh...? What's that light...?)
Once Hernia fully becomes the El Lady, she will no longer be herself. Solace asks Hernia to run away together.
Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Fenriart:(Why... why?! Why was it Hernia of all people....?!)
Fenriart:(The El Lady... The fate of having to watch the El forever.. giving up being human...)
Fenriart:(I can't give up like this...! I'll... bring her back....!!)
Fenriart:(The El Master... I'll become the Master of the Sun no matter what!!)
Envoy of High Priest:... Good, everyone agrees.
Envoy of High Priest:As we gather here for the ritual of the Sun Master, the new successor has been decided.
Master Solace:...
Envoy of High Priest:The successor will be Fenriart Solace, step forward.
Master Solace:Yes.
Envoy of High Priest:As the Sun Master that oversees the power of the sun, do you vow to dedicate the rest of your life for the El Lady and the El?
Master Solace:Yes, I swear.
Envoy of High Priest:You, as the Sun Master...
Master Solace:(Where is Hernia?)
Envoy of High Priest:Lastly, the El Lady will announce the new Sun Master and give her blessings.
Master Solace:(Finally... Hernia!)
(STEP... STEP...)
El Lady:Raise your head, Fenriart Solace, the new Sun Master.
Solace:...!
Master Solace:(Hernia, finally...!!)
El Lady:Under the name of the goddess Ishmael, I announce you as the new Master.
Master Solace:(Hernia, why are you holding such a cold expression...?)
El Lady:Carry the blessing of the El...
Master Solace:(Hernia...!!)
Master Solace:(... Hernia... did she decide to forget me and fully live her life as the El Lady...?)
Master Solace:(Then should I respect her decision? I want to return to the old days with Hernia... Am I being so selfish?)
Master Solace:(But...!!)
Master Ebalon:Solace, did you know about the Illuminous Phenomenon...?
Master Solace:Illuminous..? What do you mean?
Master Ebalon:Illuminous... The fate of the ones chosen as the El Lady.
Master Ebalon:Those chosen to be the El Lady not only dedicate their lives... but they slowly begin to lose their sense of self as a human and eventually become a accessory to the El.
Master Solace:...!!
Master Ebalon:We Masters must dedicate our lives to the El as well, but the weight we bear is different... How tragic..
Master Solace:El Lady, it's just the two of us...
El Lady:... What's... wrong, Master Solace?
Master Solace:... Hernia...
El Lady:... I see...
Master Solace:I know I shouldn't be saying this.
Master Solace:But for me.. time has stopped since the night we decided to leave the family... the night you were chosen as the El Lady.
Master Solace:It's not too late. Let's leave together.
El Lady:...
Master Solace:Hernia... If you continue to act out your duty as the El Lady, your sense of self will begin to desappear. I don't want that...!
El Lady:... Fenriart.
El Lady:I'm no longer the young cry baby from the past. I'm now responsible for supporting all of Elrios with the El.
Master Solace:But...!
El Lady:I cannot put the whole world in danger for the sake of my own happiness. This... This path is for you, too, Fenriart.
Master Solace:But Hernia!
El Lady:It's an earnest request. If you really are doing this for me, help me... so I can fulfill my responsibilities.
Master Solace:... Hernia...

Master Solace:Denif! What's going on here?
Master Denif:Solace... I believe the events from one hundred years ago is happening again.
Master Denif:Thankfully nothing big happened to the El Lady today. One hundred years ago, Henir Fanatics attacked the El Lady, and the large El became unstable. The whole continent was on the brink of ruins...
Master Solace:Henir Fanatics? What would they... to do such a thing...?!
Master Denif:Those fanatics worshiped Henir. They believed that everything that exists outside of Henir should be destroyed.
Master Denif:They wanted to be destroyed everything created by the ancient gods Elria and Ishmael. They've been after the El Lady and the El for quite a long time...
Master Solace:It can't be... Does that mean the current El Lady is at risk of being attacked?
Master Denif:As of now, we need to protect the El Lady at all costs..
Master Solace:(I can't have Hernia become an accessory to the El.)
Master Solace:(No matter what... I must find a way to stabilize the large El without the El Lady..)
Master Solace:(If I can do that... Perhaps Hernia will reconsider..!!)
Master Solace:(The preparation is done... At the Harmony Festival... On the final day...!)
El Lady:... Fenriart... I can't leave with you... Don't push me in this situation...
Master Solace:It's okay, Hernia. Everything is ready. The El will hold together even without your sacrifice.
Master Solace:Let's leave together for real this time. There's nothing that will stop us.
El Lady:Fenriart...
El Lady:Everything truly stopped since that day for you.... But I... The truth is...
El Lady:I can't really remember our times together in the past... My memories are a blur...
El Lady:Even if you were to take me away... We still wouldn't be able to share our memories... You'd be left with an empty shell of my former self...
Master Solace:No.. Hernia... For you, I will definitely...!
In order to save Hernia, Solace runs into the tower despite Master Denif stopping him.
Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Master Solace:(Today is the final day of the Harmony Festival...)
Master Solace:What... am I supposed to do? I can't leave Hernia like this... She's dying with her eyes open.)
Master Solace:(But is it okay for me to ignore her will and take her for my own selfish reasons?)
Master Solace:Hernia might be right. Perhaps I haven't moved on from that day everything was taken from me.)
Master Solace:... I... let my own selfishness take over. I had a hard time accepting how much Hernia has grown... I almost threw her into more despair...)
Master Solace:Okay... Hernia... I'll... swear to dedicate my life to you forever as the Sun Master...)
(BOOM...!!)
Master Denif:?!!! What's going on?!!
(CHHNG.... PSHHH!!)
Master Denif:What in the world is going on?! What's wrong with the El?
Master Solace:!!!!!
Master Solace:Why is this happening all of a sudden...!!)
Master Solace:(This phenomenon occurs when El Energy is divided! This is the first step in escaping with Hernia..!!)
Master Solace:(How..? I didn't power it up but the plan is being carried out!!!!)
Master Denif:Everyone, calm down! The Priestesses and El Lady are inside the tower! Trust these people and secure the area!!
Solace:(No! According to my plan, the division should've been slower so the large El and the El Lady can be separated.)
Master Solace:(This type of abnormal speed will make the El and El Lady unstable! Then... Hernia will...!!)
Master Solace:No!!
Master Denif:Solace?! What are you doing?!
Master Solace:Hernia... Hernia..!
Master Denif:Stop! I can't let you enter the tower!
Master Solace:Move! Hernia is in danger!
Master Denif:What are you doing?! Everyone!! Stop him!
Master Solace:Don't block me... Get out of the way!!!
Master Solace:Hernia!!!!
El Lady:...
Master Solace:Hernia!! Please open your eyes!!
Master Solace:(No... At the Harmony Festival the El Lady and the large El will manifest energy while being connected mentally.)
Master Solace:(In this state, Hernia's consciousness is attached to the large El!)
Master Solace:Please...! If only there's a way I could reach Hernia...!!
(SHINE...!!)
Master Solace:!!
Master Solace:Mother's necklace... The Resonance Stone!!

Hernia:Fenriart, this way! Ahahaha!!
Fenriart:Hernia! Don't go too far!!
Master Solace:What... is this?
Hernia:You know, Fenriart. I don't get sad anymore when Signmund's soldiers bother me.
Hernia:Because when I look at this necklace.. and see it shine so brightly... I feel as if Fenriart is always next to me.. protecting me.
Fenriart:Hernia...
Hernia:No matter what I'm going through... You'll protect me, right...?
Fenriart:... Yeah, whatever harsh situation you're in, I... I will protect her as long as this necklace shines...
Hernia:Okay... that's a promise!!
Fenriart:Yes, I promise...!!
Master Solace:Hernia.. You didn't remember any of the past...
Master Solace:But even in a situation like this... you didn't forget our promise.....
Master Solace:... Hernia!
Master Solace:If you hear my voice... If you hear this resonance, show yourself!
Master Solace:I will no longer bother you over my own selfish needs. You're already suffering, I don't want to cause you any more pain...!
Master Solace:This time... I will protect you...!!
El Lady:Fenri... art?
Master Solace:Let's... leave this place together...!!
