What brings you here?
Yuri
We're just travelers passing through.
I'm sorry, but there is
no longer an inn or any
shops in this town.

Judith
Are you here alone?
Yes.
It's just me.
It's just me.
Yuri
...You wouldn't
happen to be the
sage, would you?
happen to be the
sage, would you?
The humans of this town
once called me that.

Karol
Huh...?
But didn't the sage die...?

Rita
Shh...
Yuri
This is an illusion Phaeroh
made, right...?
made, right...?
Karol
So that would mean this is actually the
Yormgen of a thousand years ago...
Yormgen of a thousand years ago...
Yuri
Yeah. I wonder if the lack of a barrier blastia
is the reason everyone else took off.

How perceptive. Blastia cannot
easily be acquired, nor do we
have the clear ciel crystal...

have the clear ciel crystal...
The Children of the Full Moon
should never have signed the
pact with the Entelexeia.

pact with the Entelexeia.
Estelle
Pact?
They agreed to bury most of the
blastia, with the Children standing
watch over the rest.

watch over the rest.
Judith
In order to protect against the Adephagos.
Rita
So then... The ancient
civilization didn't collapse...
It was sealed up...

Well, I thought you were perceptive, but
now I see you actually know nothing.

Estelle
Wh-what...?
Karol
Supervising the use of blastia... Doesn't
that remind you of the empire today?

Rita
Well, Estelle is a Child of the Full Moon, not
to mention one of the heirs to the throne.

Karol
Wait...! So then, the Children
of the Full Moon must have
founded the empire...

founded the empire...
Please, there's no need
to speak in hushed tones.

The pact will surely be forsaken.
Unless, that is, all blastia can
be done away with for good.

Karol
But people couldn't live like
they do now without blastia.

A certain type of life can be
led, even without blastia.

Yuri
Yeah, the inconvenient type.
So it has always been. They come
to depend on anything that eases
the burdens of life.

Judith
Yet even knowing that, you helped
the people of this town to build
a barrier blastia?

a barrier blastia?
I, too, was poisoned by the desire
for greater things. I couldn't
ignore the convenience.

Raven
Now what kind of a sage does that?
To be a sage means only to be
rich in knowledge. I too belong
to the society of people.

Yuri
Being a saint isn't a
prerequisite for leadership,
then, huh...?

then, huh...?
Well put. And the Children of
the Full Moon are no different.

The role of supervisor will
turn into one of absolute
authority before long.

Karol
Wh-what does that mean?
Yuri
It's pretty clear if you look
at what the Empire's become.

Anyway, nothing remains
in this village.
Not even blastia.

You are welcome to stay the
night, if you don't mind the
ramblings of an old man.

Thanks.
