*{{StoryIcon|Iccus2}} '''Iccus:''' ''It is. We went all night.''

*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''They all dispersed. That was underwhelming.''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''They've had their fun, now it's time to rest. Ahh, my throat is soar from all the screaming last night.''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Speaking of throat... The chains around our necks are gone. Now we should be able to leave the village.''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''You don't have to keep checking. The ritual definitely went bust. You would think we devoured your flesh or something from the way you're acting.''
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''You were about to devour something more than just flesh.''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''Gooooood work everyone. I'm glad you seemed to enjoy my performance in the end.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''We're glad too. Thank you for upholding your promise.''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''But why did you let us go? If you just went through with your plan, we wouldn't have been able to resist.''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''I got the feeling, that even if I held you back, it wouldn't have lasted long.''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''Dream Demons that receive second lives lose all their past memories and become a blank slate.''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''But occasionally, there are those who remember their past lives.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''Those who regained their conscience, the Awakened... These end up in either two categories.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''Those who decide to stay, and those... who cannot give up their past lives.''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''What they've left behind, what they couldn't say, who they've left behind...''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''Even though the dead can only be with the dead, they cannot let go. They leave the group never to come back.''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''Those who wish to stay in their sweet dream end up building a tribe like me, Diana, and Vasili. Do you understand?''
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''Since our determination is no ordinary one, we wouldn't have easily forgotten our mission even if we turned in to something else.''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''It's a shame for us... But if our Queen wishes it!''
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''... Why are you acting like it's all good and well!! Technically, you two are the reasons why we ended up in this mess!''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''Yikes! Uh... It's all Vasili's fault...?''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''Sigh.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''Huhuhuhu. Ah, you're here looking for Ran, right?''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''Here's a special fan service. If you have any questions, you may ask me now.''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Then... Where is Ran? Is he still around here?''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''That, I do not know. It's been a while since I've last seen him, and I didn't seek him out since.''
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''What did you say when you last met him? Anything odd or trivial will help us greatly.''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''Hm... Nothing special. It wasn't that hard getting control of the Dream Demons from Ran. He already decided to dissolve the army at that point, so there wasn't much to say.''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''Anything odd? Well... I heard he was pompous and ruthless, but he wasn't much like the rumors.''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''He wasn't in a good mood... But told us if there's anything we need, whether it be money or gold, we can just take it.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''Not in a good mood...? Was he angry?''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''It thought it was anger too, at first. But that wasn't it. It looked like he was in pain... like guilt and suffering.''
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Are you sure you're talking about Ran?''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''There's one more thing that struck me... He was weak.''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''Though I've never met him before, Shadow Earl was under the Red Demon King's direct line of command. The one who controls the shadow... He's supposed to be powerful.''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''And yet, he looked like he couldn't control his demonic energy. Even though said demonic energy wasn't even that strong.''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''... I think that's everything I know.''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''What was Ran doing before you left? Perhaps packing up to leave at a moment's notice?''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''Not at all. From the moment I met him until negotiations were over, he never even budged from his seat.''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Was the failed invasion that shocking...?''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''Just in case you're wondering, Ran's castle is way over there. See the pointy castle?''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''It's closer than I thought. Though, it's going to take a while to walk there.''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''The path is pretty straight-forward. If you think you'll get lost, I'll lend you Vasilli as your guide.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''Do I have a say in this? No?''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Um... You've pointed us the way, so it's fine. Well, shall we get going then? We got everything we need and it's a bit... much to stay here.''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''Yaawn. Alright. It's way past our closing hours anyway.''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''It didn't turn out the way we wanted, but you seemed to have enjoyed it in the end, so I'm glad. Come spend your money any time!''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Mmhm! It was a lot of fun. You guys made a great village! Many many visitors would love to visit.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''As long as you don't insist on the strange rituals.''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''Thank you. Ah, you know we're just letting you go this time. I haven't given up yet. I know humans age very quickly.''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''Come visit when you're about to die. We'll definitely make you one of us then.''
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Haha... Uh... We'll see how it goes...''
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''(Not ever going to happen.)''
