*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' ''-'' | *{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''[It calmed down once I chased away the Harpies.]'' | ||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''They ran with the riches while I was fighting.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''Is this why they involved the Harpies...? Conniving crooks.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''I will not fall for the same trick again.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''[I've swallowed my bitterness and called out to the villagers hiding in their homes.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''Everyone! It's safe now!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''[Though I could sense their presence, I did not hear any sound. I went to the closest house and knocked on the door.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''Is anyone here?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''[When I heard no reply, I had a sudden bad feeling and felt shivers down my back.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''[Thankfully, I heard a voice. It was weak and in despair.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Villager:''' ''Lady Ruda...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''You're here! Are you safe?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Villager:''' ''Lady Ruda... We are safe, but what use is it? It's all for nothing.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''[I swallowed my greeting. Of course. There was no relief to be felt. They have already paid a sacrifice too big to ask for anyone.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''[Kalmahari is not a land with abundant resources. It was the patience and perseverance of the people that has led to the success of this village.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''But the bandits attacked the village two times like this...!]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Villager:''' ''This is their second attack. I'm sure for the bandits, our village looks like well fed cattle for slaughter.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''Don't say that...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Villager:''' ''The way they come by and take out belongings like they are entitled to it seems to suggest that's how they view us.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Villager:''' ''So you don't have to worry about us any more, Lady Ruda. We will be leaving.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''... Do you have a place to go?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Villager:''' ''The land is as vast as the sky. Surely we can find somewhere we can settle.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''It's hopeless. They have lost most of the wealth they have accumulated. Even moving to another village would be difficult endeavor.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''But... There's nothing I can say. I said my farewells and returned.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''There will be more letters to inscribe on the wall.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''I have yet again failed to protect them...'' | |||

*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''[On the way out, I fond a bandit who has yet to run away in a house partially destroyed by bandits.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''Because of you, innocent people, who didn't have to lose their lives...!'' | |||
*''(TAP TAP TAP...!)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''[I chased down the bandit desperately running away again and again, until I cornered him.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''The bandit, trapped by the wall, sank to the ground.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''[... He was a terribly skinny young man.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''[He was barely twenty. It was hard to tell, because of how emaciated he was, but he must have been around that age.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Young Man:''' ''I'm young! I was just, so, so, hungry! I didn't kill anyone! Please... Have mercy...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''[The dull sword he dropped did not have a single drop of blood.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''[I could see his bony arms and legs between his battered clothes.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''[When I saw his sunken stomach, with his ribs all visible... I have lost my will to fight.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Young Man:''' ''I swear! I only followed them because they told we won't have to wander, to starve if we find the El!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Young Man:''' ''And then, I saw a pot covered by a lid in the kitchen, and hope maybe, there would be food...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Young Man:''' ''I'm telling the truth... I didn't steal anything! I couldn't find the El... I don't even know what that looks like!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''You idiot! The Wind El cannot be found! It's been sealed with the Behemoth aleady, ages ago!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''[Without meaning to, I yelled in sorrow.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''[The boy did no understand what I said. He only cowered in fear and sobbed because he was afraid of me raising my voice.]'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''Ahhh... Ahhh...! Goddess, why must such tragedies exist!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''This hunger, this grief...! How long do we have to repeat this cycle!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Vayur:''' ''{{color|#F1670A|(Ruda... Be patient. You must.)}}'' | |||

*{{StoryIcon|Ruda2}} '''Ruda:''' ''I have seen it... The wind whispered to me!'' | |||
