*{{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|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Mrrmr... I don't know... I don't know! I don't want to seem like I'm obsessing over what he said!'' | |||
*{{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|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''.......'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''The Demon Realm did remind me of many things in my past. I suppose I can share a few.'' | |||

*{{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:''' ''I was starting to think you were full of it, with barely anyone recognizing you despite calling yourself 'queen'.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Hohoho, would you like to repeat that again?'' | |||
*{{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.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''So that's why you're the Steel Queen, not the Steel King.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''.......'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''...? What is it, Lu?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Uhh, come to think of it, it was Barkat who suggested that as well! It's infuriating to think about it!!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Hold the thought, I think we're here. It's the Queen of Gold's Palace.'' | |||
