*outside the town of Kennebec, at the Cemetary*
*kneels
beside a grave* Rulakia.... I words cannot describe the sorrow I
have. *places some white flowers in front of the grave* I
couldn't defend you... but I promise... I won't let anything like
that happen again.
*stands
behind Rulakir, looking at the two graves* They are now truely
with each other.
*places
another bundle of flowers on the other grave* Orakia... look over
my sister for me. I swear I will protect from now on.
*looks
at the flowers* So you've made the oath then? To protect instead
of destroy?
I
can't bear to see another person suffer anymore. All my life,
there was nothing but suffering.
Rulakir...
does this mean you'll finally work with me?
*sighs*
I can't make promises... but I do hope I can work with my
brother. *stands up*
*looks
at the flowers again* What kind of flowers are those? I've never
seen those before.
Those
are White Soliums... a very rare flower that is said to enhance
the soul. But... you can't find them anymore. I had to pay almost
1 million meseta just to get this bundle.
You
were willing to do that just to get flowers for your sisters'
graves?
*sighs*
I'm a changed man. It used to be that I was cold and careless. I
thought the only thing that mattered was me. But then Rulakia
dies.
Then
you realize how much you're needed?
I
guess you could say that. But, I've really got no one to protect.
Nobody special to me like you have.
It
wasn't always that way. But Rulakir, you have the world to
protect. We're gonna destroy Anja together.
Providing
she doesn't gain more power.
We
must make sure that doesn't happen.
But
how? We don't know where she is.
We
might not... but perhaps Jema does.
Jema...
*sighs*
What's
wrong?
It's
a shame. Such an innocent creature is gonna end up dying because
of Anja. And there's nothing we can do.
*grins*
Not exactly brother.
What
do you mean?
*turns
back to, starting towards the Air Castle again* I'll tell you
when the time is right.
...
Damn.
