*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''So the one you've brought here... Hm?''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Teacher!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Whooooa!! Is this morning? It is!! Teacher! This is it! What Laby saw in the forest before meeting teacher! Third morning! The light that allowed Laby to finally leave the forest!''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''Forest? Morning? What do you mean?''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Yeah. Laby lived there for a really really long time! Before seeing the morning!''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''Did you say... Black Forest? The Black Forest has a high concentration of demonic energy, enough to be commonly known as the origin of monsters. She can't be an average human being if you met here there... I'm sure you're aware...''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''The reason why teacher brought Laby here is..... Bam ba baam!! Because teacher's teacher is going to tell Laby what Laby is!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''... Hm?''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Denif? Then are you teacher's teacher, and the sage that knows who Laby is?''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''I do not know who you are, but I have taught Gaia briefly in the past.''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Oooh!! Denif! Nice to meet you! I'm Laby!''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Respect? How do you do that?''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Ohh, ok. So Master Denif doesn't know who Laby is? Why not?''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''This is fine. That's not the important part. Let's return to the topic at hand. This is the first time you and I met. I do not know anything about you, so it's inevitable that I do not know who you are. If I had more information, perhaps I could come up with something...''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''You need to know about Laby? So when Laby was...''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''Gloria, did Darkmoon finish healing her?''

*{{StoryIcon|Gloria2}} '''Gloria:''' ''Well, when you say finish...''

*{{StoryIcon|Gloria2}} '''Gloria:''' ''No... She had no injuries.''

*{{StoryIcon|Darkmoon2}} '''Darkmoon:''' ''... By the time I tried to heal her, most of her injuries were gone. She barely needed healing.''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''See? Laby told you! Laby is tough, so Laby gets better quickly!''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''Gaia, it seems you already knew about her healing capabilities, am I correct?''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''She wasn't influence by the demonic energy from the Black Forest? I would like to know why you were in the Black Forest, but we can talk about that later. Your name is Laby? You called the El, 'morning,' when you entered. I'd like to ask what you meant by that.''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''It was always night where Laby was, but there were three mornings!''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''Hm, let's allow her to finish.''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Second morning was fun! The ground was moving going all tutatatata!! It was always quiet in the forest, so everything was so exciting!! But when everything was over... the blue energy in the forest was almost gone, so it felt really lonely... Even that felt a bit different than before, but when third morning came, everything changed!! The nice, soft feeling before first morning came back! And after that light, Laby didn't hear the voice anymore!''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''And this is the morning that Laby saw! It looks a lot weaker than before, but Laby knows!''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''Three mornings...? Could it be?''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''That's a possibility. Since Elsword was involved in restoring the El...''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''Yes, the boy decided to sacrifice himself to restore the El, and was almost absorbed into the El. If it weren't for his friends, Elsword would have become one with the El and completely disappeared.''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''I am not quite certain how he was able to do what he did. I only suspect he's an Elrian with never before seen potential, or a being close to the El, not unlike the El Lady.''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Then... Was Laby able to leave the forest because Elsword restored the El?''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''It is possible to know one's name, without being aware of one's identity. For example, you go by the name, Laby, but you are still unaware of what you are. One's fundamental being is not something that other people decide, or something that can change just because one wishes it to.''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Mm... Laby doesn't really understand Master Denif...''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Eh?! No! Teacher is teacher! And teacher is Bellonde!''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''... Looks like you have been taking your role as a teacher seriously.''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Laby understands now! So Elsword is similar to Laby right? Then is he trying to figure out who he is too?''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''Not exactly. He is very aware of his goals and what kind of person he wants to become. But... We just suspect that he maybe special in some other way, in ways that he himself is not aware of. Now, let's stop talking about someone who isn't even here. Instead, can you tell me what that is? It seems different from the Nasod that the El Search Party had...''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''I don't believe those necessarily correlate... In any case, since demons took the Moon El from the Moon Temple at Fahrmann, it doesn't surprise me that there are still demons in Northern Empire... But it's interesting that he was amicable to you.''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Calonne and other demons looked like they didn't like each other. Calonne refused when they tried to make him do something bad.''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''That is a possibility. Their plans were thwarted multiple times by the El Search Party. I heard that things have settled down but... In either case, it's good news for us.''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''The El Search Party fought with demons too?''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''The reason why they came to Elrianode was to learn what the demons were doing to prevent them. We received a lot of help when Elrianode was first restored, but now is not the time to discuss. You must be tired going through the barrier. Why don't you both take a rest?''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Huh? Laby is ok, though.''

*{{StoryIcon|Artea2}} '''Artea:''' ''He's right. You should rest some more.''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Mmm... If you say so...''
