"You know, I could always burn the gate down, blow it down, etc right?"

Isaac: "...Oops."

He heads over to a cellar door and tries to open it, but it seem stuck.

> You pull off your right gauntlet, gently close Elly's eyes, and leave.

Putting the gauntlet back on, you look around with green vision disabled. The sky is hazy from smoke, blotting out the stars, but there seem to be fewer fires around the city.

"There are two things Naomi that I cannot stand in this world.
A woman in pain, and a dog in pain.
Ultima has caused both of those to happen right in front of me."

You stand in the clearing of the road in silence, remaining still, until a darker shadow covers the inner city.

Looking up, the grey armored form of Vattii is gliding above the city, held up by the updraft from the fires.

- Whirlwind Armor (+2 Physical Actions, +1 Movement/Dodging)

> Walking around the city, you find that there are quite a few survivors (and quite a few non-survivors as well). Those who aren't wounded are tending to those who are, treating wounds or carrying them off to a safer place. Mages and soldiers work to put out the fires, and the giant metal dragon of Vattii is flying around above the city.

> Charging to the North-East, the Armoured Drake backs up quickly but you close the distance faster, gutting it from the side and then firing off a razor wave at the mob ahead.

Behind you, something crashes into the ground, and a deafening roar fills the air, making your bones shake and the nearby trees rustle. All the drakes still alive and unwounded flee as a group, either heading East or South.

Turning around, the green dragon you saw earlier is there with Hakua at its side, watching the drakes flee, while Blizzard and Ettiin jog towards you from the South end of the field.

Ettiin: "They're running off already? And why have there been so many dragons lately?"

Hakua: "The drakes seem to have at least some sense of self-preservation. I don't know about the dragons, but at least they're on our side."

The raptor pats the scaly beast a pat on the shoulder, though it doesn't seem to pay her any attention.

Koa: "Good to see you're all okay. Did you kill the human?"

She's looking at your sword, while Blizzard and the dragon seem to be having a staring contest.

Conditions :

You Whirlwind jump into the air, passing by Vattii and giving him a wave. With a few more air boosts, you leap over a portion of the city and land in the ruined inner field by the west gate.

The gate is nonexistant, there's just a large portion of missing wall in the area of where the gate should be, along with stone and metal debris. LucidAucupe is standing there waiting, and snaps off a crisp salute when she sees you.

Aucupe: "No sign of the enemy!"

A familiar black-haired green-eyed woman is standing by Aucupe, wearing a simple white robe that reaches down to her knees, and a sheathed sword held in her left hand. The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground and a look behind you confirms that Vattii is here, and Mist soon walks over on his own two legs.

Vattii: "The fires are under control. There are minimal civilian losses from this incident, but many soldiers and mages have been killed. I believe I saw a chirop, she was following me on foot."

You follow Vattii as he flies over to the western side of the city, eventually meeting up with the dragon, along with John, Aucupe, and a familiar black-haired green-eyed woman, wearing a long, simple write robe and holding a sheathed sword.

Vattii: "The fires are under control. There are minimal civilian losses from this incident, but many soldiers and mages have been killed. I believe I saw a chirop, she was following me on foot."

"Elizabeth is dead too. Ultima made a beeline for her. Tara, you know why?"

She slowly turns her head away from you, her hair obscuring her face. When she speaks, her voice quivers slightly.

Tara: "The Equilibrium War. Or rather, what happened after it."

She rests the bottom of the sheathed sword against the ground, leaning against it like a cane.

"I see.
I'm sorry. If I'd known it would attack...
...
Vattii, if all of us here combine our strength, could we overpower Ultima?"

Vattii: "Hmm, not in your current state, even if Ultima was at its weakest. Ultima should even be able to be spirited, and it is unknown if it is being assisted by other weapons or groups."

You then notice that Aucupe is hunched over staring at the ground, sword sheathed on her back and hands pressed against the sides of her head. Her entire armor body is shaking, and she's mumbling things.

"Aucupe? What's wrong?"

She slowly turns her head to look at you, her eyes an unnaturally bright red, wide open, mouth quivering.

The harpy staggers over to you and then reaches up, clawing at your armored chest as if trying to bring your face to hers.

Aucupe: "W-where is she? Where.. Tell me, TELL ME!"

"I-in the castle."

In a blink of light, Aucupe vanishes. Both Vattii and Tara seem a bit startled and confused.

"...Do either of you know Lucida's past? Because I think hearing that broke through his amnesia."

Tara: "I never knew it was spirited until I saw it at Hermit Valley."

Vattii: "But it was spirited several days after it was created, which would be... Well, I don't know exactly what time period it is right now, but no less than 400 years ago."

Tara: "I mean, I knew it was spirited, but it was also tampered with, and the mind inside of it was removed. Whoever is in it right now wasn't inside until late in the Daeli-Caelum war."

Vattii: "Hrmmm, tampered with. Then again, they're not even supposed to be spirited in the first place. I wonder who performed the tampering?"

Tara gives a weak shrug.

Tara: "Whoever did it is probably dead by now."
