| ["From far, far ago, to present and today, till long, long after... the tears and laughter she had with people she met on the road. This, is a story of a doll."] | |||||||||
| The rain has been going on continuously in these days, and Rio just sits there in silence almost without eat or sleep, just like the time when he lost Sherlam back then. Except, this time there's no one beside to look after him... Rio stays sulk, until when he looks around and seeing Lune, who is also depressed and helpless like him that he realized he must stand up, even though it could be a last chance that no one expects any good endings... The things with Vomn and Rio made Lune feel lost like an empty hole, while Rio, who is supposed to be also depressed, takes up the role and looks after Lune like Vomn did to him long ago. And just like what happened 6 years ago, although the agitated Lune repays Rio's efforts with only bitterness and harms, in the end she still becomes able to stand up again with Rio's carring. | |||||||||
| But then again, as the group walks onto their journey again, Rio still sometimes looks at the remain gift from Vomn and ask himself,"Why am I always da only one that's being left out to live?" He really, really doesn't understand fate and why it does this to him. | |||||||||
| A deep sense of sadness from nowhere resonates from these words when Emir hears what Rio says, as if it reminds somethinf of her past, forgotten deep inside her... She stares in blank, trying to search for the reason for her to feel this way but can find nothing in the end, The group soon reached the bottom of Talna Mountain Range in Southern Thargas, and learns some history regarding to the Omni-Vortex and its connection to the temple within this mountain range. | |||||||||

| "Long ago, in a place, there was a very beautiful little doll, and every child that saw her would say, "Oh she's beautiful !" "How adorable !" Long since, the little doll enjoyed playing with the kids, watching the children come and go in her long life. Sometimes the children grew up and even had their children, but they'll always be children in the little doll's eyes | |||||||||
| One day, a special child came to her eyes. Unlike other children she had, this one never looked at, nor praised her, but somehow always appeared in front of her. The little doll watched him being alone in there, and soon she realized for some reason he became the only one that she looked at..." | |||||||||
| The locals tells them there was a sad and well known story in more than a century ago, where a child, who was also the greatest mage in his time, came to here with his 2 sisters. The 3 children bear a great and black fate as they were each possessed by a soul of a sleeping dark God, which were said to be awaken when they turned adults. Out of all the world, the children could find no one but themselves to trust or rely on, as the others only seek to use, deceive or even kill them for their unfortunate heritage, while they have to constantly fight against the dark Gods inside their minds. Together they travelled, through the happy and sad times, and in the end when the Gods inside the boy's 2 sisters finally awakes, he was forced to battle them and... end the lives of the dear sister he loved the most, and then turned his own souls, along with his sisters and dark God all into dust and magic, sealing inside the Omni-Vortex... Upon hearing this story, Emir seems to have some changes physically and in her emotions, while Rio remains silent without a word... | |||||||||
