*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' ''-'' | *{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''Wow... This palace is huge. This is the first time seeing something so picturesque in the Red Demon Territory.'' | ||
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''It looks like the story of the Queen of Gold owning the best property in the Red Demon Territory is true.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''It's quiet. No one's out to greet us. Maybe they're not aware of our arrival?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Let's head in. We are guests with a proper invitation after all.'' | |||
*''(CREAK...)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''Oooh!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Huh? What? What is it?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''Good job, opening the door quietly.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''I don't always slam the doors, you know.'' | |||
*''(SCREEK!!)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Whoa! What was that?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Oh, my bad. It's a frame the Dream Demons gave me. I completely forgot I was carrying it on my back and it caught the door frame.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''I take back what I said. It's a gift for the Queen of Gold, isn't it? Be careful not to break it.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''No. It's not a gift. They said to keep it on us at all times.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''For us...? What's it for?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''I don't know. The only thing they told me was to carry it around and not to open it.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Huh, is that so? Well, I suppose they wouldn't have given us anything too suspicious.'' | |||
*''(TAP,TAP)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Good job! Keep up the good work.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Keep up the good work!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''What are you on about... Let's just move on.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''(......?)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Hm... Is there a holy beast inside this palace?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''I didn't hear anything about it... What's wrong?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''I'm sensing something. It's not exactly the same...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Hm... How should I put this... I felt something similar at the volcanoes in Lanox.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''I guess... It's like there's a powerful being with the entire region under its influence. A guardian? Of sorts?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''Guardian...? I'm not sure I understand.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Hm... Have you ever had an experience where, when you go to a particular location, you feel suppressed, or like something's watching you. Maybe a sense of holiness.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Hm... You're saying Lanox volcano was like that? I think I may understand...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''You might be more sensitive as an Elf who regularly communicates with spirits.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''But we're not in immediate danger?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''It doesn't seem hostile at the moment, but I'll keep my senses open.'' | |||

*''[Palace of Gold Medovine Garden]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Welcome, conquerors of the Abyss. I thank you for responding to my invitation.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''I apologize for the delayed greeting. I didn't think you'd come so early.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''No, it's our honor.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''We saw you outside, so we assumed you already knew of our presence. We apologize if we were not welcome to wander around.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''It's fine. Will you take a seat? I may not be able to serve you tea, but the sun should provide a pleasurable enough experience.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''It's quiet in the palace. We didn't encounter anyone else. Are there no other Dream Demons?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''That's right. I ordered them to go when the Abyss began to expand.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Thanks to you, the worst possible outcome has been avoided. Ah, I almost forgot.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Thank you for ending the Abyss. Though you may not have intended to save my life, my life is undoubtedly saved thanks to you.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Oh, it's fine! There's no need for all that.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''If I may ask, the Heart Core...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''We could not salvage it.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Ah, huhuhu... A shame. Of course, it would have been no easy feat.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''Did you seek us in hopes for a Heart Core?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''That is not the main reason. Of course, a Heart Core is highly coveted, but what I seek is something else.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Let us cut to the chase. I have two problems that need to be resolved.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''I wish for you to handle one of them, and depending on the result, will also have you handle the other.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''What do you want us to do?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''... I am a collector. I spent all my life collecting valuable things. This palace reflects that.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Though it's quiet at the moment... In its prime, visitors from all over would form a line that goes beyond the horizon for a mere chance to see my collection.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''That must have been a sight.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''But... I am growing weak. As the sun eventually sets, so too, will my empire.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''I am in the process of getting ready for my final days.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''That's... terrible.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Is it because of the Abyss...?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''The cause for my illness is something else. Though I suppose it's not completely irrelevant.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''In any case... Due to letting my servants go, it's been troublesome to take care of the palace. I'm not sure if you're aware, but a collector's residence is usually filled to the brim with magic.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Because of artifacts with all sorts of curses... or unknown spells.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Huhu, yes. And the whole palace is in disarray thanks to some spells going awry.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Ugh... I get that. It's the worst.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Then is the first task to find and handle the problem?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''It's not... impossible, but our expertise is not exactly clean up.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''I would say it's more of a 'wipe out'.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Huhuhu, like how you handled the Abyss? It's fine. There's no pressure.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Hm... Alright.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''I'm sorry, but I'd like to share some words with her. Can I let you handle it?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Of course. We'll be back before you know it.'' | |||

*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' '' | *{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''(...The energy I felt outside the palace feels stronger. Does that mean it's inside?)'' | ||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''(I wonder where it is. I don't think it was the Queen.)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Whoa! The ceiling here is super high! And everything is so shiny!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Hm... This place is also covered in restoration magic.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''I suppose this is why she gave us free reins.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Sniff, sniff... It smells like tree here, too.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Anyway, is this all gold? Amazing... Even if you take a little, you'd be set for life.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''How are you supposed to clean when the ceiling is that high...?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''You two siblings have a knack of killing the moment.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Wow... The spells here are all amazing. There are complicated, high-level spells all stacked on top of each other.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''It's very difficult to preserve magical creatures. They're sensitive to magic, so you have to create an artificial environment, which is essentially like creating a small universe.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Some of these spells need to be renewed since they're so old, but most of them are well-maintained. It must have been a lot of work to take care of an area this big.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''You seem excited, Aisha. '' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Hehe... If we had time, I would have loved to study everything in detail. Now's not the time though.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Wait here, everyone. I just need to check a few things.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Oh, look everyone! The jellyfish we saw at Rigomor!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''You're right. Oh, here's the description.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''Mm... It says here that they're rare species that only live in cold, deep parts of the ocean. Apparently, it was a struggle to move them here, as they are very sensitive to their environment.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''When there's a sudden change in temperature, this part that resembles fabric decays and becomes unpresentable... It's very detailed.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''They're actually rare? There were so many of them in Rigomor. They even had that suspicious looking jellyfish dish! Though I didn't try it.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''You know, it feels weird that these friends inside the glass tubes are not moving at all. Even though they're pretty...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''We did see them move before. It will seem unnatural since they're all familiar to us, yet lifeless.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Heh... So this is what an exhibit is. Laby likes it better when the friends are free! Even though it stinged.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Hm... Alright! I think that's all of it. Shall we move on to the next location?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''You're done? I don't notice anything different, but I guess it's different for magicians.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Good thing we have a magician with us.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Do you want to learn? It's really convenient once you do.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''No? I'm fine as is.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Nuh uh. Don't you remember what happened at the Abyss? Everyone had to rely on my magic in the darkness to go down.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''What would you have done if we got separated or something?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Make fire.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''I suppose that would work, but what if you're surrounded by flammable objects?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''You know fire eats oxygen. What if it's an enclosed space with no clue as to when you can escape?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''The more people know magic, the better it is. Even the smallest contribution helps a lot.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''(She must have really struggled in the Abyss.)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Are you listening? You're thinking about something else, aren't you!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Hey, owow! I'm listening! I'll learn if I feel like it. IF I feel like it.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Sniff sniff... sniff... Weird. The tree smell is here, too.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''We did pass the Plant exhibit. Maybe it's from there?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''No. Not that. Um... It smells like really old tree root. Like something you'd smell in a forest... It doesn't fit at all!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''There must be something wrong with your nose.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''It's true....'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''Hm... Is that the direction the smell is coming from?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Sniff sniff... Yeah!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''What do you think, Ms. Elf? I think Ms. Mirror Friend is sensing the same thing you are, but in a different way.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Oh! Maybe! Laby, we might have missed something, so let's check all the areas again.'' | |||
