Duke may have been the one
that saved us in the desert.

Hmmm, maybe.

...I'm going to go and thank him.

Hold up.

He doesn't seem the
type to do something
like that.

You don't think so?

Just a hunch.

You said that Child of the Full
Moon he mentioned was the
sister of Brave Vesperia, right?

Yeah...

Goddess who bathes this world
in her golden light, you are
named Child of the Full Moon.

Your brother, Brave Vesperia,
watches over us from the skies.

You remain bound to your mother,
the earth, and will shelter her
with your unceasing protection.

Is there, like, a hidden meaning in there?

I'm not sure. But maybe
it's more than just an
old legend.

Remaining to protect the earth, huh?

Could “protecting the earth”
have anything to do with
ruling over this world?

You mean, like becoming the emperor?
If Estelle is the Child of the Full Moon,
that would add up.

Which means all the previous
emperors would've been on
Phaeroh's hit list.

I've never heard of
anything like that.

Hmm...

This seems to be
pretty complicated...

Yeah, I guess it would be over
little ol' Patty's head.

It went over your head, too.

We can have Rita
explain it to you later.

M-me?!

Anyway, shouldn't we be thinking
more about what to do next?

I'm gonna stay here. There are
things I've got to investigate.

Investigate?

Clear ciel crystals, apatheia...
All kinds of things.

Honestly, I have a few
bones to pick with Mr.
Warm-and-Fuzzy over there.

If you're all going back, we'll
have to say our goodbyes here.

But!

Oh...that's too bad. I don't imagine
the desert will be much fun on
your own, but good luck.

Ugh...that's right... I can't
go anywhere without
crossing that desert.

We can afford ta take a
load off while she's checkin'
things out, can't we?

I'm pretty interested
in apatheia myself.

If we're going back into the desert, how about
we take some time to prepare ourselves?
We can't go collapsing out there again.

That's true.

Why don't we head back tomorrow?
Rita, think you can tie up your loose
ends in a day?

Shouldn't be a problem.
Th-thanks... I appreciate it.

Hah. You're welcome. Okay
then, we'll meet up near
the exit tomorrow morning.

Right. See you then.
