【Beginning】
Septem and An-Ka were in the woods. As dusk had come, they decided to rest here until daybreak. To prevent animal attacks, Septem gathered sticks and built a fire. He then sat cross-legged under a tree, his sword resting in his legs and his arms wrapped around it. He stared into the flickering fire, falling deep in thought...As Septem was about to descend into slumber, a familiar voice rang from not far away, snapping him wide awake.
Septem woke An-Ka and hurried to the direction of the voice. The person he had been longing for was just nearby. When Septem and An-Ka headed out of the forest, they finally saw Nicole’s figure, the one they had been missing days and nights. She was playing happily with unknown monsters.
- Nicole: Ah! You’re here? Let me introduce you to my new friends! He is...
- Septem: We came all the way here is to take you back to the field, not to meet your “new friends”!
Septem’s sudden harshness to Nicole rendered her unable to respond. The monsters stayed silent, as if any noise they emit would cost them their lives.
- Nicole: Why are you like this? What did I do wrong?
Unaware of what was going on, Nicole could not bear such blame. She raised her bow and arrow, aiming at Septem...
【Enemy Dialog】
- Nicole: I’ll not go back with you!
- Septem: You ignorant girl!
【After Battles】
- Septem: If you don’t go back, you’ll be assimilated into this land and vanish forever. If it isn’t the case, I don’t care if you come back!
【End】
Recognizing the truth, Nicole slowly lowered her bow and arrow.
- Nicole: ...Sorry.
She stayed far away when she finished her words, unwilling to look at Septem; he did not say a word and turned back to the direction of the magic field. Nicole stared at his back, afraid to do anything. After taking a few steps, Septem stopped walking; he cracked into a bitter smile and turned back to yell at Nicole...
- Septem: Why are you still standing there? I’m tired. Let’s find a place and get some rest!
Nicole chuckled at his reaction, for she knew that he was not angry anymore. She flew behind them slowly, embarking on the journey back to the field with the pair.
- Nicole: How can you always find me among all the people in the world?
- Septem: Maybe because our hearts are linked together!
Septem suddenly recalled Altair and Vega, thinking that all was unbelievable. Even Septem and Nicole, a man and a devil, can be good friends. Septem could not help but murmur...
- Septem the Traveling Seeker: Maybe two people from two different worlds can also be...
- Nicole: What are you saying?
- Septem: You won’t understand even if I tell you.
- Nicole: I have much bigger ears than you! I can hear clearly!
Septem and Nicole started arguing again. An-Ka, seeing all this behind them, could only say...
- An-Ka: ‘These two people! Alas...’
