Promise

Elena is calling for you.

Go inside.

• Go inside. (accepts the quest)

There you are, Warrior.

I called you because I have something especially important to tell you.

I've come to a sort of conclusion as a result of the struggles I've been through.

• I'm so sorry that you had to go through so much pain.

Haha, I wish I could have just forgotten about it all.

Wouldn't that be nice, to just forget?

But that didn't happen, and I know what fate is to come.

And about the role you are to play in all of it, Warrior.

• The role I am to play?

Yes. You know the answer already, don't you?

My fragmented soul and I, we're not meant to be in this world.

The one who still haunts your memories, Warrior... The one named Patren. My sister and I...

Are destined to share the same fate.

• ... Patren!

Indeed, we were like vessels.

Vessels that contained a soul...

This soul possesses incredible power.

It has existed for eons on end.

People have known it by many different names over the passing millennia.

But its nature has forever remained the same.

• What exactly is this soul you speak of?

How can I possibly define the force possessed by this soul?

The Lord of Destruction's power? The Absolute Soul Core?

What name you give it doesn't matter.

What's important is that my other half and I...

We possess this power, the Absolute Soul Core's power that will annihilate the world...

• That cursed power completely overturned the destiny of the twin sisters...

Warrior, if you remember the child named Patren, you know how it must end for us.

My sister and I...

Disaster will strike if we aren't eliminated from this world, just like Patren.

• What are you saying...?

I'm not sure about my sister...

But my situation is dire.

I can't withhold the power much longer.

Sage Procyon knew well my role as half a vessel for that soul. But the sage was unaware of just how strong the power is that I contain.

Only my sister and I truly know its extent.

• Listen to the next story

Promise me, Warrior.

If you find my twin sister, the other half of my fragmented soul...

Promise ...

that you'll help us completely eliminate the severed power within us, the Absolute Soul Core...

Can you do that?

• How... how can I possibly hurt you, Elena?

Do you know how hard this is for me to ask of you, Warrior?

To ask anyone to hurt my only sister, who is more precious to me than my own life could ever be...

That might make me the absolute worst sister of all time, haha...

But, Warrior, if even one of us survives, the chain of power destined to reduce the entire world to ashes will remain unbroken.

• So that's why Elena sometimes suddenly acts so different from her usually lighthearted self...

I will be forever grateful to you if you keep your promise, Warrior.

I guess you could say it will be the sole remaining mission of my life, haha.

• It's the least I can do. I'll help.

... Thank you. I knew you would agree to help me, Warrior.

The road ahead will be riddled with trials...

I must ask that you don't waver in walking it.
