This means our expedition officially begins now! [img]https://i.imgur.com/38jFnIs.png[/img] Lilina: Expedition...? [img]https://i.imgur.com/KALZZAB.png[/img] Azura: Prince Xaizor and Princess Marina of the distant Kingdom of Lacrima, lying in another world. It also saddens me that fate has placed this burden upon you... [img]https://i.imgur.com/r2xUJMz.png[/img] Lilina: Another world?! [img]https://i.imgur.com/Jv6RDoR.png[/img] Xaizor: Stop with the moping, Azura! If destiny chose me or what not, I don't care! I swear upon my sword that I shall bring peace to this world! [img]https://i.imgur.com/M1d5nMl.png[/img] Auror: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/vxiyQ0o.png[/img] Marina: I have already promised to Miss Rayla and to the rest that I will face my fears and that I shall aid them. I... I shall not back down! [img]https://i.imgur.com/AxGh3YY.png[/img] Azura: Your answer has been heard. Now... [img]https://i.imgur.com/6qV6ikh.png[/img] Xaizor: Urgh...!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/jqyoftR.png[/img] Marina: Aaaah!! It... burns...!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/TuhT9uk.png[/img] Lucent: Xaizor! Marina! [i]Suddenly, a dark red flame and a light green flame appeared on Xaizor's forehead and Marina's neck, respectively. As they have accepted their fate, like Rayla and Tiane did, they received marks on their bodies. A dragon's head appeared on his forehead and pegasi wings appeared on Marina's neck.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/vAKebRb.png[/img] Lilina: A-A dragon... and wings... [img]https://i.imgur.com/b5sVf49.png[/img] Azura: Xaizor and Marina... as you have accepted the call, your Brand is bestowed upon you. It is not just a symbol that defines you as the chosen, but it is also the mark that will awaken once you have truly accepted your own fate. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ATGUitS.png[/img] Auror: Our own fate? [img]https://i.imgur.com/UuHl2k9.png[/img] Azura: Hidden in your hearts lies uncertainty, doubts, desires... you are not bound solely to stop the Disaster from happening, but your own story is there to be written. Once the Brand fully awakens, you will have reached a new height. [img]https://i.imgur.com/M2IDcm7.png[/img] Lilina: T-This is too much... is this a dream...? [img]https://i.imgur.com/9W2NWsK.png[/img] Lucent: It... it isn't... [img]https://i.imgur.com/xvDqNpS.png[/img] Lilina: Lucent...? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Kub07aL.png[/img] Lucent: I want to do something... I want to change my fate... if this is my chance to redeem myself for my sins without needing to... [img]https://i.imgur.com/PidkgjX.png[/img] Azura: This path will be difficult. Do you wish to truly want to walk this path, filled with thorns? Has your darkness being no longer able to comfort you? [img]https://i.imgur.com/bkej3Go.png[/img] Lucent: I know pain well enough... but I don't... I want to move forward... I want to live like and with everyone! [img]https://i.imgur.com/ejxs4hl.png[/img] Azura: ... May the future bring you hope at last. [i]The same sharp pain they felt ran through his body as well. A black flame appeared on Lucent's right hand. On it lies his Brand: an eye, shattered.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/d2dIbp0.png[/img] Lilina: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/otQYiPp.png[/img] Auror: So, those are our paths and we can still walk on our own, eh? [img]https://i.imgur.com/b5sVf49.png[/img] Azura: ... Do you still wish to thread your fate as it is, Auror? [img]https://i.imgur.com/k6jSyUu.png[/img] Auror: If I'm chosen, that's not for me to decide, anyways. But if I can still control my own story, it's perfect. And if I can find my own happy ending on the end of it... [img]https://i.imgur.com/GAlH9eg.png[/img] Auror: ... Alright, I changed my mind. I'm in to stop some randomic destruction crossing our way. [i]He managed to hide the pain he felt. A blue flame triggered on Auror's left arm. While it wasn't seen because of his clothes, therein lies his Brand: a knife, with blood dripping from its tip.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/PKexd22.png[/img] Azura: As for the rest, I shall ask once more. What is the answer you grasp for now? Will you accept your Brand and thread the webs of fate?
