*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''.......'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Medovine and Torta...? That sounds familiar. Now where did I hear that before...?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''It's here. I, I knew this would happen eventually.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''(For someone who expected this to happen, he's shaking from the ears.)" | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Let's open them and see what they say.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Alright. Let's see... There's something written in gold. ...Medo...vine...? Let's see....'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''I will skip all the introductions. 'As such, I would like to see your skill first hand. It will be an honor if you can show your view and experience as adventurers.' '' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''In short, she would like us to assess her collection. She might even have additional tasks for us afterwards.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''An invitation? I've never received an invitation before. Not even in Elrios.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''It looks more like a commission than an invitation.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''Is that so? ... Wow! A commission! I've never received a commission before.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Haha... Let's cut them some slack. I don't think anyone had the luxury to send an invitation, what with the consecutive invasion.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''It does feel peculiar receiving an official invitation in the Demon Realm when we haven't even received one in Elrios.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Huhuhu, if you wanted an invitation, why didn't you say so? When we go back, I'll make sure to send an official invitation through my village.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''But why ask us to assess their collection? Shouldn't that be left to the professionals?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Oh, there's more on the back. 'In addition, I would like to assess your skill before commissioning a request. You will be handsomely rewarded for your efforts.' '' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''... I think Aisha will be good at it.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''I, I think I may be good at it?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''You're getting too excited about this 'reward'.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Hahaha... But she's called the Queen of Gold. Aren't you curious what she considers a 'handsome reward'?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Anyway, am I the only one curious about how they knew to send their invitation here?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''I'm sure it's because of the Abyss. An Abyss that size was unprecedented, and for it to disappear overnight... It's truly a historic event.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Still, rumor sure spreads fast. Is the next one from Torta? Let's see...'' | |||
*''(FLIP)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''What does it say?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Hm? It's just tally marks. One, two, three... fifteen in total.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''That's it? What about the back?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Nothing. Fifteen tally marks... What does it mean? Is it symbolizing us?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''So what is it? It doesn't seem like an invitation.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Oooh, so scary. I bet they're saying something like 'I'll keep my eyes on you, watch out!' '' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''I don't like the feel of it. Let's put it aside for now.'' | |||
|QuestCD= | |QuestCD= | ||
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' '' | *{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''Request... A request... I wonder what Medovine wants us to do?'' | ||
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''Maybe she wants the Heart Core?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''They'll be sorely disappointed when they discover we don't have the Heart Core.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''It's suspicious. Do we have to go?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''It doesn't reflect well if you don't show up after receiving an invitation...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''What happened? You're all so unmotivated.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''I'm sure everyone's still tired. It hasn't been that long since we escaped the Abyss.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''It really was a struggle. Everyone gave it their all.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' '' 'We can't let that go to waste. Let's fight to the end!' Was it?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Hey! Stop that! Don't embarrass me like that!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''... As you suspect, it's unlikely that their intentions are pure.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''They too, would have been in danger because of the Abyss. To send an invitation the moment it ended obviously means they want something from you.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''But, it might be a good thing for you. They're very well informed, after all.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Lu. Don't you feel frustrated not being able to go back to your land immediately? If you accept their invitation, maybe you'll learn a thing or two about what's happening in the Land of Steel.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Good thing? As if. I reckon Barkat already took over and made it his own.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''I wouldn't be so sure. I'm astounded how you could be so laid back.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''(Not this again.)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Hmph, stop it! I know your tricks. You're trying to provoke me and make this into some kind of a bet.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Oh, poo. I thought it might work, since you're more entertaining now. You're so stringent, Lu. Aegirp would have indulged me.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''I always thought she was too indulgent.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''That's because she's nicer. But wait, we already had a bet going, didn't we?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''That too, won't go in your favor.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Sure! I prefer it that way. There's nothing worse than an easy bet.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Sigh, now that there's nothing more entertaining, I guess I should get going, too.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''Where are you headed to?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''It's a secret. I'll see you next time. I'll always watch over your accomplishments.'' | |||

*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Mrr... Tir, sticking his nose where it doesn't belong... I would have considered the possibilities myself without him having to butt in... Mrrrr...!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Tir seems so mean but always helps out. We received a lot of help already.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Help? Don't be mistaken! I told you multiple times. All he's interested in is poking around other people's business for his own entertainment!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Aww... Don't you wanna go, Lu?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''I don't think that's the case. She's just bothered that the Red Demon King specifically told her what to do.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''You know, when you're planning on doing something, but someone nags you about it, so you suddenly don't want to do it?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Mm, Laby don't really get it. What about you, Aisha? Do you wanna go?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Me? I am curious. Of course, the reward is enticing as well, but as a collector, she must have many interesting artifacts from the Demon Realm, you know?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''As the Red Demon King said, people like that tend to be well-informed. I'm sure we can even ask about the Dark El.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Is that so? Hm...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Since they also seem amicable at the moment, I think it's fine to pay her a visit... What do you think, Elsword?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''I agree. We have to pass through the Abyss if we want to avoid those Tarts or whatever, but you said it's still too dangerous.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''A casual investigation might be just what we need. But what do I know?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Hmph...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''If we became well-known due to the disappearance of the Abyss, it will be good to know what the general consensus is within the Red Demon Territory.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Hm? What do you think? We can get information AND get a read on the situation. Surely then, we would naturally figure out what the Red Demon King meant.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Yes. It's purely for our investigation. Nothing to do with what the Red Demon King said. Right, Lu?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Sigh, you're all incorrigible. Instead of resting to recover, you're all so ready for action.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''There's no helping it. I still think we're playing into Tir's tricks... But I'll play along if all of you insist!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Whoopee!!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''Ridiculous.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''So it's decided? Let's get ready! You too, Add. Come on!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''Ah....'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''Hm...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''Yana. Have you heard anything about the Queen of Gold lately?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''Aw honey! You know how long it's been since I left. I only heard bits and pieces from my pen pal.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''Something definitely happened due to the Abyss. I heard the Queen let everyone go, so my friend had to go somewhere else.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''Everyone...? I understand that Medovine is much closer to the Abyss than we are, but was that really necessary...?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''Hm! Usually, you're the worrywart and I always reassure you, but this time, I got a strange feeling about this one.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''It's probably best to have some kind of insurance. Leave it to me! I have an idea.'' | |||

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''No? I slept well. Yaaawn.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Are you sure? You really do look tired.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''Your eyes are visibly bloodshot. They're also quite dry.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''It's probably the aftereffects of the Abyss. But it's interesting how the effects differ per person.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Let's see, Raven passed out from high fever, Laby had problems with her balance, Ara and I slept for days, and Chung... Sleepwalked.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Rose had motion sickness, Add had ringing in his ears with a severe headache... and I believe Lu and Ciel had terrible muscle cramps? There's no commonality at all. Is it all random since the Abyss itself is full of anomalies?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''Hm, I don't know. I think I see a pattern.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''What is it? Don't keep it to yourself.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''All the effects make it harder for the individual to escape the Abyss. With the exception of me and Zero.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''The whispering voices from the depths of the Abyss, the path that seemed to connect the entire Abyss despite the different stratums...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''It was like a single organism.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Organism? The Abyss?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''Yes. The symptoms combined make it more difficult to escape the Abyss, until in the end, you are completely absorbed to serve as a nutrient for the Abyss.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Uhh! I'm glad we managed to escape.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''The aftereffects? Come to think of it, I think I dreamed a lot. Not that I remember anything.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Hm... Just what are you up to, Tir...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''No, I'm surely playing into his hands by thinking about it...'' | |||

*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''(It seems you're plenty obsessing over it already.)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Hey, Ciel. Are you listening?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''...Ah, sorry. What are we talking about?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Dreams. Come to think of it, I had a dream recently, too. I wanted to see my family and the Elder.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''I dreamed about something too, but I'd rather not talk about it. It was really strange.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''Did you have a nostalgic dream as well, Ciel? What was your sister's name again? ... Tir?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''It's Terre. Please don't mistake her with the Red Demon King... She was much more adorable.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''Let's see... I did dream about something. But I don't remember what.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Wow, so everyone had similar dreams? That's fascinating. Do you think this is also a type of Dream Demon magic?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''If everyone dreamed based on what happened in the past, it's 100% due to the Abyss.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''What does that have anything to do with the Abyss?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''When someone has sudden flashbacks...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''... It's a near-death experience? Don't be ridiculous!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''Hahaha. What about you, Lu? Did you dream about anything?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''... Hm? A dream? I slept deeply without a single dream. Huhu, were you curious about my past?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''Yes. I don't think we ever heard about your family or your life in the past.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Is that so? I thought I have shared a lot... But I suppose they were mostly of the time with the Demon King or after I met Ciel.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Laby wanna know more about Lu, too. Laby is curious why Tir said something like that. What's in Lu's land? Did you have family and close friends?'' | |||

*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' '' | *{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''It may be hard for you to imagine, but before the Demon King, the Demon Realm was much more chaotic.'' | ||
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''Even more than now?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Yes. For example, the Dream Demons act almost indistinguishably from humans.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Dream Demons, Aegirp's people... They've all been influenced by humans in some way. I think it's a good thing.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''A time of chaos and disorder... That was the Demon Realm before I was sealed.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''It was the same for my land. Though not all of it was mine." | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Was there another ruler besides you?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''There was a tyrant by the name, Bifron. Though he was more a monster than a ruler from his actions.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''He was ruthless beyond comparison. If you rubbed him the wrong way, even a little bit, you were severely punished.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Not only that, he had a strange obsession. He saw his people as possessions." | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''As... possessions?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''He would capture them every opportunity he got and lock them up. As such, his castle had more dungeon cells than living spaces.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''A previous lord... Is this before the Demon King? That must be at least several centuries ago.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''That's a long time ago...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''(...Wait, she was alive several centuries ago?)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Huhuhu, that's how it was back then. It's easy to see why his reputation wasn't great.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''It was to a point that when I managed to defeat him, not a single demon wished to revolt against me.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Anyway, he really must have been something else. I thought stories of rulers throwing people in the dungeon was just that, a story.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''... Yeah! The Lord Laby knows is a really nice person!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Hm? Huhu, you're listening so seriously, it's a little embarrassing.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''I was always curious. But figured we should wait until you felt comfortable sharing.'' | |||

*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''Hmph.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Anyway, I could no longer turn a blind eye to his tyranny and decided to act with the help from Barkat, who was Bifron's subordinate at the time.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''I snuck inside the dungeon and set everyone free... But could not take back all the harm Bifron has already caused.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Of course, what I have done is nothing to scoff at. In fact, that's where the legend of the merciless Steel Queen started...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''When I defeated him, those who suffered under his rule came forward and asked me to promise not to follow in his footsteps.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''So I claimed the throne not as a King but as a benevolent ruler, to cut the cycle of violence and open a new era.'' | |||
