["Both he and her didn't say any word, but only staying together in silence, trying to pretend the scar didn't exist. Standing under the moon in night sky, they wanted to cry but they couldn't. As there are too many things that can't be said by words, they can only smile with a breeze of sorrow..."]

Although the completely depressed Rio returned her carring and favor with only bitterness and harms, Vomn continued her effort ceaselessly, and slowly Rio started to stand up again, ending the war with his fellow mercernaries. Afterwards, he left the mercernary group and off to travel nomadically, but not by himself, as Vomn didn't return to her Capital and family and instead, insisted to tag along with Rio...
 
Although as always, Rio treated her with coldness and ignorance, Vomn still chased tirelessly behind him, for she knew that in the end he still cares for her -- just like before, whenever she was in a pinch or trouble, he would just silently stay aside and help her stand up. And slowly, the 2 of them lived together, being through many things and walked across places, times and memories that were painful, sad, happy or fun... "A lot indeed has happened...", sometimes Vomn would look up to the sky, thinking the life they had been through, how strange and unpredictable that fate is.
 
Later on while they were taking part time job in an inn, Rio and Vomn met and befriended with a Minol couple -- Deoir and Timn (Deoir seems to know Vomn's older sister -- Longorine as a good friend, as she and her husband has helped and travelled with Longorine in when the older sister was young. That explains why she never interfered with the group back in episode 3 when they lived in the Akaron Estate.), who they later on travelled together, in a quest of searching for something that Deoir has lost. In that 1 year time where they lived a life in happiness, together they adventure, fight, and been through all sorts of events like a family, or a group of old friends. Rio was changing slowly as well, and started to talk to Vomn in daily life and about many things, until for the first time in his life, Rio even started thinking and talked about something of his future, as he never thoughts of anything like that ever in his life before...
 
Unfortunately these days didn't last for long. At the end of the journey, in the temples of Talna Mountain Range of Southern Thargas Region, Timn has lost his life in the finale battle. Bearing extremely pain that cannot be described by words, Deoir collaped upon losing her husband and lost her memories. Seeing all these happened, Vomn realized she felt the same as she was right at the beginning -- shocked, she stepped back and didn't know what to do... she thought her effort were making things change, that together with friends they could fight fate and make a future, but now...
 
Without a word, Rio only stayed beside her in silence and took Vomn back to Karlmn, where her family and home were, while afterwards he and Deoir travelled back to Green Valley -- Deoir's hometown. Recovered from the shock, Vomn watched the back of Rio and Deoir as they left. She didn't really feel sad, however, as she trust that there will definitely be another time, another chance for her to walk on the path to make her own fate and future once again, this time, when one day she meets Rio again...
