Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Laby: Let's see... We're almo, yaaawn, almost there. Ran's castle is right in front of us. Add: Stop yawning. Laby: But Laby's so tired. We were so busy running all over last night. Raven: It's understandable. There wasn't much fighting, but we did move around quite a bit. Elesis: We mostly had fun... I just didn't think playing around would be so exhausting. E, yawn, even training wouldn't be as tiring. Rena: We can't face our enemy exhausted. Let's rest here. ... ... ... ... Add: Hey, magician. Take a look at this. Add: It's the Magician's rabbit doll. It stopped reacting for a while now, can you take a look? Add: I don't see any machinery, so it must have something to do with magic. How do I activate it again? Aisha: When did you get this? What experiment are you planning this time... Give it to me. Aisha: Hm... The reason why it stopped is because we're no longer within the Magician's dominion. It should start moving if I imbue magic. What do you need it for? Add: I need to hear the rest of what it was talking about. Can you do that? Aisha: Just what did you...? Ah, I don't think that's possible. That's a separate magic from mobilizing this doll, and it's probably a lot more complicated. Aisha: It's also demon magic... It's going to take a long time even to analyze it. Add: Tsk, if it can't be done now, then forget it. Aisha: Really? How unusual. Normally, you'd go off on your own to experiment. Is this urgent? Add: ... Not necessarily. Laby: Hey, so Dream Demons used to be enemies, but are not anymore, right? What if Ran is like that too? Laby: If Ran became good, then can we not fight him anymore? Elsword: ... I guess? Elesis: What do you mean, I guess. This is not some trivial matter, like Phorus playing bandits. It's not something you can just forgive because he changed his mind. Rena: Besides, our main purpose is not revenge or punishment. Protecting Elrios is our priority! Rena: Whatever Ran is thinking, our goal is to make sure he doesn't even dare attempt invading Elrios again. If he's already like that, we need to check to be sure. Ciel: Is that likely to happen though? I don't think someone who attacked his superior to gain power is going to give up that easily. Raven: This is a strange situation. No matter what, when we see him, we'll have to see through to the end. Raven: This is all contrary... but we can't dismiss the possibility that the Dream Demons read the entire situation wrong. Ran could have dissolved the army because he no longer found the tactical need to keep them. Elesis: Hahaha! True, the Dream Demons do seem more interested in playing than anything. Rena: Also... We have other reasons to face Ran. There are people we need to save. Chung: ....... Noah: Um... How did Ran know of Elrios's situation and invade? Noah: I've only heard part of what happened at Senace, but I heard it was a vicious, atrocious fight. Ara: Ran... was in a position to know those things...
Quest Completion Dialogue
Ara: I heard, when the Moon El fell on our family's grounds, the Haan family that was once a small family on the country side went through a drastic change. Ara: However, I have never actually witnessed the Moon El in real life. Noah: (The Moon El...) Ara: Back then, I merely thought it was a precious treasure, one so precious you would not show to just anyone. Ara: But when my brother left to become the Guard Captain, after I happily sent him off, I heard the whispers. Ara: That's when I learned my brother's advancement wasn't only something to be happy about. Aisha: I did... wonder about that, actually... Elsword: What...? Aisha: Ara said the eldest son of her family has been the Royal Guard Captain for generations. But... a Guard Captain is not actually that high of a position. Ain: Ms. Magician... That's kind of harsh. Aisha: Ain! You know I didn't mean it like that! Aisha: What I mean is, it's not such a grand honor that it's seen as a step up for the eldest son of a noble. Raven: Yes. If you need a position to interact with other families and prove loyalty to the kingdom, there should be better positions closer to the palace. Raven: In Velder, even a commoner can become a Guard Captain. I do not know the situation in Northern Empire, but I doubt it's any different. Chung: Oh, it's not like that in Senace, but I understand what you mean. Elsword: Really? This is complicated... Is the position you get that important? Aisha: Sigh, you have so much more to learn. When it comes to matters like this, even picking up a needle from the ground holds some kind of political meaning. Ara: While the Northern Empire is ruled by the Emperor, the nobles of the capital also hold a lot of power. Ara: When the Haan family gained an exorbitant amount of power in the form of the Moon El, we suddenly found ourselves scrutinized by both sides. Noah: ... A hostage. Ciel: A Royal Guard Captain? Isn't that too good a position for a hostage? Ara: I do not know for certain... But I believe the royal family wished to make the Haan family the leader of a new group of nobles that will be more favorable to the Emperor. Rose: And the nobles of the capital had the exact opposite idea. Raven: They probably didn't like a small family village from a remote region suddenly gaining so much prestige. Never mind the threat the family posed to their foundation and position. Elesis: ... Elsword, do you understand what they're saying? Elsword: Not a single thing. Elesis: Yeah, we should stick to swinging swords. Ara: Huhu... My brother Aren, the eldest, did not want to leave. Of course, things didn't turn out the way he wanted. Ara: Even after he left for the capital, I kept sending letters. To me, he sent stories of the capital, of new experiences, and asking about my day, but... Ara: To my father he sent letters... asking... pleading for action from the family. Ara: As expected, all my brother's requests were ignored. All the letters were burnt without even opening them. Ara: I could not bear to tell him that. So I told my brother everything will be fine... a cheap consolation telling him we'll endure this together. Ara: Time passed, and my brother stopped sending letters... When we got used to not hearing from him, that's when it all happened. Ara: ... I'm not trying to defend his action. Ara: But I understand, as someone who grew up with him, and as someone who watched him closely, how he came to make that choice. Ara: Please believe me. If... If Aren can't come back... Then I... Lu: Stop making hasty assumptions. I know more than anyone how those from the Red Demon Territory use others. Lu: They twist even the purest hopes and desires to use for themselves. Chung: I understand that even when you know someone believes in you, you can find yourself in a situation where you can't rely on them. Chung: ... My father... would have never met Ran on his own... if I weren't the hostage. Chung: So... Don't worry about us, and believe in your family. We don't know what will happen until it does. Ara: ....... (CREAAAAAAK...) Rena: Uuuuh! Was that the door? It's giving me the shivers. Add: Do you not understand the meaning of quiet? Elsword: Hey! It's not my fault Ran didn't take care of his front door. Rose: It's severely rusted. Almost to the point of corrosion... It's likely nobody used it for a very long time... Elesis: Don't say that! He must be here. Maybe... he uses a doghole or something. Rena: Yeah, I don't think so. Let's go further in for now. (CREEAAK!) Add: Ack, mind the door! Ain: With that noise, even the Dream Demons would know we're entering Ran's manor from their village. Elsword: I opened slowly... Rena: ... It's still quiet. I thought something would show up by now. (STEP, STEP, STEP....)

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
(STEP, STEP....) Chung: ....... Eve: ....... Laby: ... Hey. Aisha: Oh my elements...! Elesis: Shhh! Be quiet! Shhh! Eve: Did you find something, Laby? Laby: Laby just wanted to say how pretty the moonlight looked through the window! Chung: Did it have to be now? Elesis: Sigh... Fine, let's talk. It's too quiet in here and it's actually making me nervous. Ciel: We're further inside... But there's nothing other than a few shadows here and there. A lot of dust, too. Rose: But if you look here, you see traces in the dust. Someone was definitely here until recently. Ran: ......! Raven: ... I see someone. Look upstairs! Ran: ....... Chung: Ran?! You didn't leave. You were still here...! Ara: Ran...! We've finally got you. I...! Ran: Why... Why did you come all the way here? Elsword: Did you forget about the past? We're here to take back what you've stolen. And we're going to stop you, too! Ran: ...... There's nothing you can find here. Leave. (STEP, STEP....) Ain: He barely even acknowledged us. Elesis: He doesn't look like he's willing to fight. Did he really change his mind? Rena: We received an excessive welcome at the Dream Demon's village, and here, we're barely acknowledged. Let's follow him. Which way do we go? Rose: Based on the structure... We'll have to go down first, then go around. Add: It seems we're always walking these days. (STEP, STEP, STEP....) Eve: ... If we consider what happened after Berthe swallowed the White-Ghost King's soul... Eve: Perhaps... Aren has affected Ran in turn? Laby: Hmm...? Maybe? Elsword: But I thought it only worked with demons? I don't think it's the same with Berthe... Aisha: ... Shh, be quiet. I don't think that's what happened. Aisha: If Aren is no longer under Ran's control as you said, then why didn't he react when he saw Ara? Elsword: Oh... That's right... Aisha: It's fine thinking about the enemy, but... I don't think we should say anything for now. Ara: .......
Quest Completion Dialogue
Eun: You seem tense. I do think your friends have a point. Ara: Yes, and it's fine. I've only come here with the selfish wish that we can live together if Aren regained his conscience. Eun: Selfish? Ara: Me forgiving my brother... I don't think it's my place when there are so many people who were sacrificed. Ara: So I have two options. If I can save him, I will live my life atoning with my brother... Ara: If I cannot, or... if Aren still has hatred in his heart, it's my responsibility to end this with my own hands. Eun: ....... Eun: Humans always think the world revolves around them. You're no different, Ara. Eun: What happened to your brother is not your responsibility, nor was it something you could prevent. Know that demons had a clear goal. Eun: Even if it weren't your brother, somebody would have given up their body for the demon, and your home would have still been destroyed as the keeper of the El. Eun: Ara, I have witnessed many lives and deaths, and the flow of the world in my long life. Eun: Sometimes, tragedies happen without reason. It had almost, no, absolutely nothing to do with what good or bad deeds they have done. Ara: But in this case, there was a clear cause. Eun: You may feel some liability. I will give you that. Eun: You can only think for yourself. Remember you have no right to represent someone else. Eun: It's delusional to think your decision will betray the wishes of many others. Do you think your forgiveness or punishment hold that much worth? Ara: ... If you think I am wrong... then what should I do? Eun: You make your own choice. Choosing with your illogical, caring, overly optimistic human heart. Eun: And if anyone disagrees, persuade them. If you can't, make them see reason with force. Eun: What you believe as justice was once established by someone with power. So let others see. Write your own justice with your hands. Eun: That is the human way I know. Ara: But... that's not right. Eun: How do you know what's right? What's not right? The world has no such standards. Eun: There's only what can and cannot be done. Ara: But it doesn't seem right to make others surrender with force. How is that different from plain refusal to accept? Eun: Life is full of refusals. Ara: Sigh... I understand what you are trying to say... But it seems too inconsiderate. Ara: Though, I suppose you've always looked at the bigger picture, with no regard to the small things that come with it. Eun: Hmph, why should I consider every insignificant detail? Ara: It's not insignificant to me! Eun: Then why don't you carry it aaaalll on your shoulder. You're stubborn like a mule... I've said my piece, so I'll leave you be. Ara: You too, Eun. Everyone's going to think you're a mule spirit from how stubborn you are. Ara: ... But thank you, Eun. I know you would think I'm foolish... But I'll keep thinking about it. Ara: Huhu... It seems I'm hearing about choice a lot these days. Noah: ....... Chung: ... Oof, be careful. It almost hit. Elesis: Pant, pant. There's especially many shadows around here. Why are there so many of them? Noah: We've come quite far. This long corridor... Looks like the meeting hall is down that way. Rena: A meeting hall? You mean that fancy room where kings and nobles greet their guests? Ain: If he's waiting, he'll meet us there.

Description
Battle with Ran. Ara feels the end of her spear waver due to the old memories of Aren that keeps surfacing.
Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Ran: ....... Elesis: You don't look good, Ran. Elesis: During the invasion in Hamel... You greeted us with a sneer, even though it was you who infiltrated all the way in to the deepest part of the Water Temple. Elesis: Where's that confidence now? What happened to you? Ran: ....... Elesis: Silence is not an answer. Why don't you look us in the eye when we're talking to you. Ran: ....... Ara: Ran. I know you remember me. Ran: ......! Ara: I've come all the way to the Demon Realm to save Aren. Ara: Even if you have no desire to fight. I must urge you to face me. Ran: ... You seek what no longer exists. Your brother is long dead. Ara: No, you took him. Ran: That is when he died. Ara: That's not yours to decide! (GRIP....) Ran: Neither... is it yours.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Ara: One, two! One, two! Ara: (The last one! The part I keep making mistakes...!) Ara: (Concentrate... Concentrate...) (... SMACK!) Ara: Ow! ... Uuuu.... Aren: Ara, are you alright? You’re not hurt? Ara: I'm fine... but I don't feel fine. How can I get better in martial arts? Aren: ... Ara, why do you wish to be good at martial arts? Ara: Hm? I don't know... Maybe... because you can do many things when you're strong? Aren: But when you're strong, you'll have more responsibilities. Ara: Is that so... Hehe, I don't really understand. I guess it's because I've never been that strong or had that much responsibility! Ara: But I like training... and though I'm still nothing compared to you, I feel proud when I get stronger! Aren: Huhu, is that so. Aren: I'm sorry, Ara. I was troubled lately, so I ended up showing my frustrations. Ara: No! It's fine! I like talking with you. Aren: That’s a relief. Oh, come sit down for a moment. I brought the floral tea you like so much. Ara: Oh! I'd love to. Ara: Ah, I think I found another reason to love training. Aren: What is it? Ara: The tea after training hard is much more delicious! Ara: (Why am I remembering these things...) (CLANG!) Ara: Ugh...! Eun: Ara, concentrate. You are making me uneasy just from watching you! Ara: Yes, Eun! Ara: (Why does it feel so... familiar?) Ara: (Get yourself together. You're fighting Ran, not your brother!) Elsword: Ugh, watch out! Ciel: Damn it... It seems all the shadows in the manor are gathered here. Rena: Looks like Ran is going to end everything here. Everyone, stop the shadows! Ran: No...! Ran: Get back! Listen to my... ugh... Chung: Aisha! Are you alright? I'll help you, too. Aisha: I'm fine! You go finish your business with Ran! Chung: It's fine! What I'm looking for is not here. And I... I'm happy for that. Of course, now's really not the time to be happy... Aisha: Hm? Chung: Let's get going! Let's leave Ran to Ara! (CLANG!) Eun: ... Thankfully your opponent is also distracted. You're doing well blocking his attacks. Keep doing what you're doing. Ara: I'm not merely doing well, I can see what his next move will be. I... Ara: I know this sword technique.

In midst of the hectic battle, Noah slowly learns how to fight as a team with the help from his new allies.
Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Shadow: (KYAA!) Noah: (There's too many enemies. And too many allies... I should have known a fight like this would occur.) Clamor: Noah, stop! Your ally...! Noah: Oh...! (CLANG!) Noah: I'm sorry! I didn't mean for my attack to... Are you alright? Raven: Don't worry, this is a Nasod arm. I'm not harmed. Noah: ....... Clamor: Noah.... Noah: I thought I was used to fighting. I even fought with many enemies at once... But I was mistaken. Noah: I... I only ever fought by myself. I've never fought with so many people! Noah: If I end up harming them...! Clamor: Protect! (CLANG-!) Noah: Ugh, Clamor? Clamor: I stopped the shadow! Noah: Sorry! Thank you... I'll focus! Noah: (Now is not the time to think about these things! I need to move...) Add: Damn it, you're getting in my way! Don't just stand there! Noah: Ah... I'm sorry! I'll... I'll head over there! Rena: Wait! Hey, are you ok? Come here. Rena: Let's catch our breaths for a bit. I noticed you keep trying to fight on your own. Calm down, and relax. Noah: Yes... Yes! Relax... I can do that! Rena: Huhu, no, not like that. Now, listen to me. Rena: Even if you make mistakes, others will help you. We're going to watch over you so you're not in danger. Rena: In turn, you can help others. Watch your allies instead of your enemies. It will be less confusing then. Noah: Ah... Yes! I'll, I'll do that. Rena: Haha, good. But don't get too close to Add. It always sparkles with electricity around him. Rena: Leave that corner to Add, and come here. You can help me out!
Quest Completion Dialogue
Ara: Ran. Why did you say my brother is dead? Ran: Losing your life is not the only way to meet death. Death is to lose yourself. Ran: He was foolish. He knew he was playing with danger, yet he still reached for it. As a result, he lost himself forever. Ara: He's not foolish. I can understand his hatred! Ara: I know from experience that it's difficult to achieve your will without power. Ara: Trapped in a situation where he was, in essence, sold away... It's understandable why he would want power to overcome his situation and revenge. Ara: He did not make the right choice, but the will to overcome his situation and his desperate wish, I refuse to accept that's foolish! Ran: ...... Haha... Hahaha! Ran: Revenge? Will? Overcome the situation...? Haha, you're sorely mistaken. Ran: He's a man who took a hold of corrupted power without caution. There's no greater meaning behind his action. Ran: Your efforts to rationalize your sibling's betrayal is admirable. But you must accept the truth. That your brother is a foolish being. Ara: Do not talk of my brother like that! Ran: ... Huhu, it's no wonder you didn't know. All humans wear a mask... Ran: They cannot bear to show their disgusting, petty nature, full of disgrace out in the open... Ara: Is that why you have a helmet on? Ran: ....... Ara: What are you hiding? Ara: Why can I block your attacks? Ara: Tell me. Why do I miss everything about you? Ran: Kugh.... Shadow: (KYAAA!) Ran: No! Watch out...! Ara: Don't get in my way! (CRASH!) Shadow: (KEE...) Ara: Don't think about anything else. Focus on me! Ara: I'm not the whining crybaby you knew back then! Ara: Get up and raise your sword! Our match is not over! Ran: .......

Description
Finally reunited, Ara and Aren reveals their true feelings to each other.
Quest Completion Dialogue
(...CLANG!) Ran: ... You've become stronger. Your attacks are more precise now. Ran: Congratulations. This is the second time you've won against me. Ara: ... I want to ask you so many things. Ara: Like what happened to Ran, and... why you are here acting in his place. Ara: But I must ask this first. ... Why did you avoid me? Aren: ....... Ara: The moment I realized Ran is nearby, I couldn't stay calm with the thought of seeing you again. Ara: I was worried he might not be here, and when I faced him, I was afraid... but when I thought this might be it, I felt my will to fight grow within me. Ara: But when our weapons clashed, and I got the hunch that I'm fighting against you, not Ran, I was surprised, yet happy, but also scared. Ara: However, it seems I was the only one who felt like that. Aren: ....... Ara: I understand your hatred. You probably don't even want to talk to me... But please, give me a chance to persuade you. I've come all this way for this. Aren: ... It's not hatred. Ara: It's not? Aren: Sigh... It seems the image you have of me is that of a steadfast man. Aren: If only... I faced head-on like the man in your image, we wouldn't have ended up like this. Ara: What do you mean? Aren: Ara... I did not acquire the power of demons to revenge. I merely... wanted. Aren: ... wanted to go back home... Ara: I understand! How the only option left for you was to fight... Aren: No. Please, Ara... That's not me. Aren: I... I never had the will to fight. I merely hoped for the situation to change as I sent a couple of words along the wind. Aren: I'm sorry. I used you... like a sanctuary. As long as I was with you, I could escape from the expectation and attention from others. Ara: ....... Aren: A man who didn't even have the courage to fail, to fight back, or to refuse... A man who's given up, always living like he's running away. Aren: ... Ran granted my wish. I was able to return home along with its destruction. Aren: Though it was a twisted realization of my dream, I think it's a fitting ending for a man full of deception and lies. (LIFTS...) Aren: Ara. This is the face I've hidden behind my mask. I am not flawless like you think I am. Aren: Can't you let me live the rest of my life as a sinner banished to this cursed land? To lead a wretched, lonely life? Ara: I cannot. Aren: I do not have the confidence to face what I have done... Ara: It doesn't matter. Aren: Don't you think it's already too late? Ara: Huhu, I know you're trying to picture yourself as the irredeemable scoundrel, but you're doing it all wrong. It must be because you're a hard-working model student to the core. Aren: ... A model student? Ara: Yes. You always seemed so sure of yourself. But now that I see this other side of you, I'm sorry, but it's kind of... adorable. Ara: Interacting with others and gaining something out of it... That's normal in life, isn't it? Aren: Ara, I'm not talking about those. There's intention and thought behind people's action. Ara: I understand you feel some kind of guilt towards me, though I would have preferred if you admitted your joy when you spend time together with me. Ara: Sigh... I thought for a very long time on how I was going to persuade you, (smiling) but I don't remember what I was going to say. Ara: But since you've told me your feelings, let me tell you mine. Ara: While I was on this journey... I've encountered many enjoyable, exciting things. Ara: I've met many good people and learned many new things. I'll always be grateful for this opportunity. However... Ara: If I had the choice, I would have never gone on an adventure over staying with my family. Ara: Aren, that's how I feel. Even if it's not easy, even if we have no where to go back, I want to be together with my only family. Aren: Your only... Ara: While on our way here, we've met the Dream Demons. Ara: They say they were enjoying the freedom given to them by their second life because they have lost their purpose, their mission, and something precious to them in their first. Ara: But I don't want that... Even if everything comes to an end, I do not want to lose any more. Ara: In fact! I'm sick of losing! I'm also going to stop running away. If I can gain back what I've lost with my own hands, I'm going to do so! Ara: That's why, if you take away my family, I'm never going to forgive you. Even if it's you, Aren. Aren: ....... Ara: Come. Let's go back together. Ara: Because we only have this one life.
