=== Alear & Veyle === --- C --- [Veyle] Hmm... [Alear] Veyle...why are you looking at me like that? [Veyle] I just... Are you really OK? [Alear] I really am. I mean, it was strange...taking Corrupted form and waking up from that... [Alear] But I'm fine now. And it's all thanks to you, Veyle. [Veyle] I'm relieved. [Veyle] I... I also wanted to apologize for everything I've done. Everything I did in the past. [Veyle] So many people died. And it's because of me. I was too weak. It's my fault they're dead. [Veyle] I know I can't be forgiven, not completely. But if you could, even just a little... I'm so sorry. [Alear] Oh, Veyle. It wasn't your fault. The Fell Dragon was controlling you. He's to blame─not you. [Alear] You say you're weak, but it was your strength that freed you from him. That's impressive. [Veyle] Thank you. [Veyle] I'll get stronger too. Like I said before, I want to be a dragon like you─ready to save the world. [Veyle] And I'll do everything in my power to make that happen. I just hope...you'll help me? [Alear] Absolutely. That's what a big brother is for. [Alear] Absolutely. That's what a big sister is for. [Alear] I'll do anything I can to help you. It's the least I can do to make up for not being around. [Alear] Don't worry. I'm right beside you, little sister. We can do this together. [Veyle] Yes, we can. --- B --- [Veyle] Do you remember when you gave me the dragonstone? [Alear] I wish I could say I did... But everything from before I woke up is hazy. [Veyle] Well, you and I met just one time, a thousand years ago. [Veyle] Well, you and I met just one time, a thousand years ago. [Alear] We only met once? [Veyle] Mm-hmm. [Veyle] All of our siblings had died in the war. [Veyle] You were the only one to survive, and you came to see me. [Veyle] You were the only one to survive, and you came to see me. [Veyle] I was very young then─frail and frightened─ and you handed me the dragonstone. [Veyle] You told me that you couldn't stay by my side but that you were still with me no matter what. [Alear] Oh, so I said that to you...all that time ago... [Veyle] You did. The dragonstone is shattered, but it was my protective talisman for a very long time. [Veyle] I held it close when Mama died and when Papa returned and said horrible things to me. [Veyle] I knew that as long as I had the dragonstone, I could be strong...and hold on until I saw you. [Alear] Veyle, I... [Veyle] Even if you can't remember what you did, I am still so grateful. [Veyle] If you hadn't given me the dragonstone, we never would have found each other again. [Alear] I'm grateful too. To think you held me in your heart all those years... [Alear] Without you, Veyle, I wouldn't be standing here right now. [Veyle] Now that we're reunited, we'll be together forever, right? [Alear] That's right. Nothing can separate us ever again. --- A --- [Veyle] Hehe, I had so much fun today! [Veyle] So this is what it feels like to have family. [Alear] Veyle, there's...something I'd like to ask you. [Alear] How do you feel about our father? About Sombron? [Veyle] Oh... [Alear] Soon we'll have to face him. Not as his children, but as his enemies. So...I had to ask. [Veyle] Yes... [Veyle] Papa hurt so many people in the past. And now he's doing it again. He is...evil. [Veyle] He's never shown me kindness. I'm not sure he thinks of me at all. [Veyle] Still... [Veyle] He is family, just like you. So I can't hate him entirely. [Veyle] He is family, just like you. So I can't hate him entirely. [Alear] I understand. [Veyle] Sometimes I just wish I could be part of a happy family. But I know that's a silly dream. [Veyle] At the very least, I hope I can stop Papa before he hurts anyone else. [Veyle] No, I will stop him. [Veyle] So, that is how I feel about our father. [Alear] Thank you for telling me, Veyle. I feel the same. [Alear] The time for reconciliation is long past. I will use all of my power to stop Sombron. [Alear] But I won't be able to do it without you. [Veyle] Don't worry. You and me and the rest of our friends...we'll stop him together. [Veyle] Don't worry. You and me and the rest of our friends...we'll stop him together. [Alear] OK. Let's do this, Veyle. Then, when it's all over, our future can truly begin. [Veyle] Yes. For our future. --- S --- [Veyle] There you are! I have something I want to give you. [Veyle] There you are! I have something I want to give you. [Alear] Oh? [Veyle] It's for you! I hope you love it. [Alear] What a beautiful stone! It's so clear and blue. You went looking for it, just for me? [Veyle] I did. I wanted to give you something in return for the dragonstone you gave me so long ago. [Veyle] I've poured all of my energy into it so, if we get separated again, we can find each other. [Alear] We really are siblings, it seems. [Veyle] What do you mean? [Alear] Veyle, I also have something I'd like to give you. [Veyle] This is...the Pact Ring! [Alear] Yes. It's for you, Veyle. You're my dear sister and the person most precious to me. [Veyle] But... [Alear] I can't imagine giving this ring to anyone else. [Veyle] I can't accept this. This is very special to you, Divine One. [Veyle] I'm the one who took Lumera's life! I don't deserve it. [Alear] That's not true. You do deserve it, and I want you to have it. [Alear] Besides, I know Mother would want this. She would want both of us to be happy. [Alear] No matter what. [Veyle] ... [Veyle] I understand. I will take it, then. [Veyle] You gave me the dragonstone and I made it my talisman. This ring─it will be my new one. [Alear] That makes me happy. [Alear] I know how much the dragonstone meant to you. I hoped this could replace it. [Alear] No, not so much replace it...more like symbolize something new─our bond as siblings. [Alear] Of course, I had no idea you'd go and give me a pretty stone before I could give you this ring! [Veyle] I'm glad I did. I like that we think so similarly. [Alear] You gave me the stone so that we'd always be able to find each other... [Alear] But I'm not going anywhere, Veyle. You and I are family, and we're sticking together. [Veyle] The ring and the stone...they can remind us that we never have to be apart again. [Veyle] OK, let's win this war and bring peace to the world...for Lumera. She would like that. [Alear] Yes, she would. And we can do it together. [Veyle] I swear on this ring... I'll stand by your side and be a dragon who's ready to save the world.
