*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(... Wh- What did I just see...?)''
----
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''... This place is...''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''... Did you see everything?''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''... Yeah.''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''I'll say no more. You know very well what happened after.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''... The El exploded, and the shattered pieces spread throughout the continent. Only Ruben's El Shard... and the six protected by the  Masters and Priestesses survived..''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Hernia:''' ''(Ishmael... your power... I wasn't able to protect it!!)''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Kugh, another hallucination...''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''...''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''You... What exactly were you trying to do? What were yo trying to achieve by crossing over to this dimension?''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''... What did you feel after experiencing my memories?''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''That's...''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''Hernia fell into hibernation from the shock of the El exploding.''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''It wasn't her fault... but she blamed herself for not protecting the El...''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''The El... Why must we depend on its existence?''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''As I searched all over to find a place to conserve Hernia's body... eventually arriving in Elysion.''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''How did we end up become so dependent of the El...?''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''We can't survive without the El!''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''That's why I want to find the El Lady and restore peace to this world.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''We've come all this way to make that happen!''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''No, that's not how it works.''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''You should know by now. The reason I... why we had to do this.''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''Hernia imprisoned herself with guilt after the Great Explosion. She won't wake up until the El is restored and this world returns to how it was..''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''But if the El is restored, Hernia will resume being victim to the El as the El Lady.''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''Elsword, do you think this is what I wanted? Even after seeing what happened?''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Were you showing me all of this to educate me?''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''Yes indeed, your existence is important. You hold the strength to change this world and build a new future.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''What?''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''I have no doubt that Elsword is the one who holds the strength to change the future of Elrios.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''What... Are you talking about?''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''A power that resonates with El... And the pure desire to restore the El.''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''I've been watching you. Your existence touches the deep roots of the El.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''It can't be... The visions Your existence touches the deep root of the El...''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''Those visions that torment you are proof. Our beliefs you are the one that will change the world were not wrong.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''It can't be... The visions I've been having... were being delivered by the El?''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''Those visions that torment you are proof. Our beliefs that you are the one to change the world were not wrong.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''No, it can't be... I have memories of my sister, friends, and everyone I've met until now. My memories with them are there.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Even if there's a part of me that I know nothing of... It doesn't mean I exist solely for the El!''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''...''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I've walked this path with the help of others... for those who supported me... I promise to restore the El and bring peace to Elrios no matter what!''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''... It was expected that you wished to recover the El.''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''But if the El is reconstructed through your unconditional desire, history will repeat itself.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''...''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''The El Lady, Masters, Priestesses, and I have existed for the El. We do not wish for any more sacrifices.''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''A world without one absolute El... That's the future I desire for Elrios, and for this I have prepared until now.''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''All lifeforms are sharing the strength of the combined energy of Ruben's El Shard and the six elemental Els to live.''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''With this we can create an Elrios which does not depend on the El.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''That's foolish... I can't believe it! Elrios will collapse without the El...!''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''... If this is against your wishes, you can defeat me. You can restore the El as it existed in the past with the El Lady.''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''But if you choose this path, sacrifices will be made. Starting with you sister... who is the successor...''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''... Sis...!!''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''Elsword... You must have felt something while fighting alongside your friends...''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''You guys are strong and were able to withstand a demon army.''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''But do you think you were able to win those battles due to strength alone?''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''No... it was the result of all the people that helped you along the way.''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''You can't change the world alone... To maintain the world and change it... you must be aware of all lifeforms that exist.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I already know that! I know what kinds of sacrifices it took to get here.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I'm only here because of all the sacrifices everyone had made... I don't want to put anyone through this again.''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''... Now, the time has come for the chosen one... the one who holds the world's fate in their hands... to decide.''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''What path will you take to protect Elrios?''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''The path... to protect Elrios.''
*{{StoryIcon|Solace4}} '''Master Solace:''' ''Choose the future you desire, Elsword.''

*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' ''-''
*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''... I don't see Elsword or Solace anywhere. Where could they be?''
*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''Solace... If he does anything to my brother, I'll make him regret it!''
*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Let's recap what has happened so far. We lost the battle against Solace.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''I don't want to admit it... but Solace could have finished us up at any given time. But suddently, I felt faint, and my vision blurred.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Ah... So I wasn't the only one who felt that way. I could not see Ciel, even though he was standing right beside me.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''I called Lu, but she didn't respond. Then, I saw Elsword stumbling as he followed Solace.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''This happened to all of us? I had no idea. I didn't hear anything, so I assumed I was the only one who regained conscience.''
*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Solace said this was the final test. That all decision depends on Elsword...''
*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''If this is the test... Is Elsword currently taking it?''
*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''The entire world's fate depending on that punk's decision... Are we sure Solace doesn't have the wrong guy?''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''But somehow...''
*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''Huhu, somehow it makes sense, doesn't it?''
*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''He's stubborn, childish, and doesn't listen to others... but if it weren't for Elsword, I don't think we could have made it this far. He's just a natural at getting himself involved in different situations.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''I think so, too. I never would have imagined that we would travel to another dimension seeking for the answer of the origin of the El.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''It's hard to pin point exactly what it is... But he's special.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''... I'm worried he might feel the pressure.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Is there anyway to cheer him on? Though we can't see him, maybe he can hear us.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''That's a great idea! Let's show our support!''
*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''It's a baseless, carefree opinion... But it has some merit. Shall we exclaim our support out loud?''
*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''I don't think raising our voice would make a difference... But we can try.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''Um... uh...''
*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''Having to say out loud is kind of awkward. What should I say?''
*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''What are you waiting for! Just do it!''
*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''We don't even know what decision he's making...''
*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''Then I'll just say come back to us after he's done. We haven't had the tea party in Elysion yet.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''I believe in you, Elsword. You will do great. You always have a sense of purpose.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''Yes. If it weren't for you... I wouldn't even be here right now.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''Believe in yourself! I know you'll do well.''
*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Yes. Though you were clumsy at times, I could always count on you to have my back. You've grown. And I'm sure you will continue to do so.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''I don't know what decision you will make... But I will support your decision. That's... what friends are for, correct?''
*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''...''
*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Add. Aren't you going to say anything?''
*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''... Tsk, I don't appreciate this feel-good atmosphere.''
*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Punk, it's no use thinking with that head of yours, so just do what you always do.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Can't you say something nice in a moment like this? Well, I suppose that's just how you are, Add.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Act like yourself. No matter what decision you make, it will be your decision. If you still can't make up your mind... Just remember simple is best.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Yes! We've been through a lot, but we've always managed to pull through in the end! I'm sure you'll be great.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''... Is it my turn?''
*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''Elsword.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''My little brother. I was always proud of you, but these days, I feel you've really grown.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''You know I'm always on your side, right?''
*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''So, go!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''... A future I want...''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Without... without the El, Elrios won't last. Maybe it's possible to keep the status quo using diceon... Like Solace said.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''But Yuno aid diceon is the power that supports Elysion... If we keep using diceon, Elysion will be in danger, just like Elrios was...''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Even so... restoring the El would mean repeating the past... That would mean I would lose Sis...''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I... don't know. What... what should I choose...?''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Ciel:''' ''(... ... ... ...)''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(... I hear my friends... Where is it coming from?)''
*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''He's stubborn, childish, and doesn't listen to others... but if it weren't for Elsword, I don't think we could have made it this far. He's just a natural at getting himself involved in different situations.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''What are you waiting for! Just do it!''
*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''Then I'll just say come back to us after he's done. We haven't had that tea party in Elysion yet.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(... Yes, I remember that. It feels like so long ago, even though it hasn't been that long yet. We've been moving non-stop since we've arrived.)''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(Decision... What should I do? What would Lu or Ciel have done?)''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''I believe in you, Elsword. You will do great. You always have a sense of purpose.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''Yes. If it weren't for you... I wouldn't even be here right now.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Yes. Though you were clumsy at times, I could always count on you to have my back. You've grown. And I'm sure you will continue to do so.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(They're... all cheering for me. The adventure to find the El... I've definitely become stronger since I've left Ruben, but...)''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(Maybe Solace was right and it was too early for me to step foot in this place.)''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(Maybe something would have turned out differently if I traveled with my friends more, became stronger, and more mature.)''
*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''I don't know what decison you will make... But I will support your decision. That's... what friends are for, correct?''
*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Punk, it's no use thinking with that head of yours, so just do what you always do.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(The Nasods need the El to survive. In order for Eve to achieve her dream, we need the El...)''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(Add is so full of secrets... He didn't tell us why he was traveling with us. But I'm sure there were plenty of opportunities to get to know him better...)''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(... Will your goals be impacted by my decision as well?)''
*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Act like yourself. No matter what decision you make, it will be your decision. If you still can't make up your mind... Just remember simple is best.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(Like myself... simple answer... If it were Aisha, she would have found the right answer.)''
*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Yes! We've been through a lot, but we've always managed to pull through in the end! I'm sure you'll be great.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(If the El is restored, Rena can go back home. The Elves and the spirits will not have to worry about anything.)''
*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''My little brother. I was always proud of you, but these days, I feel you've really grown.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''You know I'm always on your side, right?''
*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''So, go!''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(But Sis... How can I choose the path that will require your sacrifice?)''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(...)''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I've decided.''
