Quest Completion Dialogue
Elsword:(... Wh- What did I just see...?)
Elsword:... This place is...
Master Solace:... Did you see everything?
Elsword:... Yeah.
Master Solace:I'll say no more. You know very well what happened after.
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..
Hernia:(Ishmael... your power... I wasn't able to protect it!!)
Elsword:Kugh, another hallucination...
Master Solace:...
Elsword:You... What exactly were you trying to do? What were yo trying to achieve by crossing over to this dimension?
Master Solace:... What did you feel after experiencing my memories?
Elsword:That's...
Master Solace:Hernia fell into hibernation from the shock of the El exploding.
Master Solace:It wasn't her fault... but she blamed herself for not protecting the El...
Master Solace:The El... Why must we depend on its existence?
Master Solace:As I searched all over to find a place to conserve Hernia's body... eventually arriving in Elysion.
Master Solace:How did we end up become so dependent of the El...?
Elsword:We can't survive without the El!
Elsword:That's why I want to find the El Lady and restore peace to this world.
Elsword:We've come all this way to make that happen!
Master Solace:No, that's not how it works.
Master Solace:You should know by now. The reason I... why we had to do this.
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..
Master Solace:But if the El is restored, Hernia will resume being victim to the El as the El Lady.
Master Solace:Elsword, do you think this is what I wanted? Even after seeing what happened?
Elsword:Were you showing me all of this to educate me?
Master Solace:Yes indeed, your existence is important. You hold the strength to change this world and build a new future.
Elsword:What?
Master Solace:I have no doubt that Elsword is the one who holds the strength to change the future of Elrios.
Elsword:What... Are you talking about?
Master Solace:A power that resonates with El... And the pure desire to restore the El.
Master Solace:I've been watching you. Your existence touches the deep roots of the El.
Elsword:It can't be... The visions Your existence touches the deep root of the El...
Master Solace:Those visions that torment you are proof. Our beliefs you are the one that will change the world were not wrong.
Elsword:It can't be... The visions I've been having... were being delivered by the El?
Master Solace:Those visions that torment you are proof. Our beliefs that you are the one to change the world were not wrong.
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.
Elsword:Even if there's a part of me that I know nothing of... It doesn't mean I exist solely for the El!
Master Solace:...
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!
Master Solace:... It was expected that you wished to recover the El.
Master Solace:But if the El is reconstructed through your unconditional desire, history will repeat itself.
Elsword:...
Master Solace:The El Lady, Masters, Priestesses, and I have existed for the El. We do not wish for any more sacrifices.
Master Solace:A world without one absolute El... That's the future I desire for Elrios, and for this I have prepared until now.
Master Solace:All lifeforms are sharing the strength of the combined energy of Ruben's El Shard and the six elemental Els to live.
Master Solace:With this we can create an Elrios which does not depend on the El.
Elsword:That's foolish... I can't believe it! Elrios will collapse without the El...!
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.
Master Solace:But if you choose this path, sacrifices will be made. Starting with you sister... who is the successor...
Elsword:... Sis...!!
Master Solace:Elsword... You must have felt something while fighting alongside your friends...
Master Solace:You guys are strong and were able to withstand a demon army.
Master Solace:But do you think you were able to win those battles due to strength alone?
Master Solace:No... it was the result of all the people that helped you along the way.
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.
Elsword:I already know that! I know what kinds of sacrifices it took to get here.
Elsword:I'm only here because of all the sacrifices everyone had made... I don't want to put anyone through this again.
Master Solace:... Now, the time has come for the chosen one... the one who holds the world's fate in their hands... to decide.
Master Solace:What path will you take to protect Elrios?
Elsword:The path... to protect Elrios.
Master Solace:Choose the future you desire, Elsword.
No matter what he decides, Elsword's friends will trust in him and move forward.
Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Rena:... I don't see Elsword or Solace anywhere. Where could they be?
Elesis:Solace... If he does anything to my brother, I'll make him regret it!
Eve:Let's recap what has happened so far. We lost the battle against Solace.
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.
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.
Ciel:I called Lu, but she didn't respond. Then, I saw Elsword stumbling as he followed Solace.
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.
Raven:Solace said this was the final test. That all decision depends on Elsword...
Ciel:If this is the test... Is Elsword currently taking it?
Add:The entire world's fate depending on that punk's decision... Are we sure Solace doesn't have the wrong guy?
Ara:But somehow...
Chung:Huhu, somehow it makes sense, doesn't it?
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.
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.
Rena:It's hard to pin point exactly what it is... But he's special.
Elesis:... I'm worried he might feel the pressure.
Rena:Is there anyway to cheer him on? Though we can't see him, maybe he can hear us.
Lu:That's a great idea! Let's show our support!
Eve:It's a baseless, carefree opinion... But it has some merit. Shall we exclaim our support out loud?
Raven:I don't think raising our voice would make a difference... But we can try.
Chung:Um... uh...
Elesis:Having to say out loud is kind of awkward. What should I say?
Lu:What are you waiting for! Just do it!
Add:We don't even know what decision he's making...
Ciel:Then I'll just say come back to us after he's done. We haven't had the tea party in Elysion yet.
Ara:I believe in you, Elsword. You will do great. You always have a sense of purpose.
Chung:Yes. If it weren't for you... I wouldn't even be here right now.
Chung:Believe in yourself! I know you'll do well.
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.
Eve:I don't know what decision you will make... But I will support your decision. That's... what friends are for, correct?
Add:...
Eve:Add. Aren't you going to say anything?
Add:... Tsk, I don't appreciate this feel-good atmosphere.
Add:Punk, it's no use thinking with that head of yours, so just do what you always do.
Rena:Can't you say something nice in a moment like this? Well, I suppose that's just how you are, Add.
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.
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.
Elesis:... Is it my turn?
Elesis:Elsword.
Elesis:My little brother. I was always proud of you, but these days, I feel you've really grown.
Elesis:You know I'm always on your side, right?
Elesis:So, go!

Elsword:... A future I want...
Elsword:Without... without the El, Elrios won't last. Maybe it's possible to keep the status quo using diceon... Like Solace said.
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...
Elsword:Even so... restoring the El would mean repeating the past... That would mean I would lose Sis...
Elsword:I... don't know. What... what should I choose...?
Ciel:(... ... ... ...)
Elsword:(... I hear my friends... Where is it coming from?)
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.
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.
Rena:Is there anyway to cheer him on? Though we can't see him, maybe he can hear us.

Raven:I don't think raising our voice would make a difference... But we can try.
Chung:Um... uh...
Elesis:Having to say out loud is kind of awkward. What should I say?
Lu:What are you waiting for! Just do it!
Elsword:(Do they... not see me...?)
Lu:What are you waiting for! Just do it!
Ciel:Then I'll just say come back to us after he's done. We haven't had that tea party in Elysion yet.
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.)
Elsword:(Decision... What should I do? What would Lu or Ciel have done?)
Ara:I believe in you, Elsword. You will do great. You always have a sense of purpose.
Chung:Yes. If it weren't for you... I wouldn't even be here right now.
Chung:Believe in yourself! I know you'll do well.
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.
Elsword:(They're... all cheering for me. The adventure to find the El... I've definitely become stronger since I've left Ruben, but...)
Elsword:(Maybe Solace was right and it was too early for me to step foot in this place.)
Elsword:(Maybe something would have turned out differently if I traveled with my friends more, became stronger, and more mature.)
Eve:I don't know what decison you will make... But I will support your decision. That's... what friends are for, correct?
Add:Punk, it's no use thinking with that head of yours, so just do what you always do.
Elsword:(The Nasods need the El to survive. In order for Eve to achieve her dream, we need the El...)
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...)
Elsword:(... Will your goals be impacted by my decision as well?)
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.
Elsword:(Like myself... simple answer... If it were Aisha, she would have found the right answer.)
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.
Elsword:(If the El is restored, Rena can go back home. The Elves and the spirits will not have to worry about anything.)
Elesis:My little brother. I was always proud of you, but these days, I feel you've really grown.
Elesis:You know I'm always on your side, right?
Elesis:So, go!
Elsword:(But Sis... How can I choose the path that will require your sacrifice?)
