*Burning Woman: Hmph, not bad... Time to get serious...!
 	
*Freezing Man: ... Leave it there. You've proved your point.
 	
*Burning Woman: Wha...? Don't make me laugh! Don't you hate them?!
 	
*Freezing Man: I do...!
 	
*Freezing Man: But the only thing killing these humans will do, is dispel our feelings.
*Freezing Man: It's not worth disobeying our lord's orders.
 	
*Freezing Man: Remember the reason Lord Karna Masta specifically assigned us to this world!
 	
*Burning Woman: That's...!
 	
*Burning Woman: Argh...fine.
 	
*Karl: Looks like she's agreed to withdraw.
 	
*Tilith: Oh, good...
Music: "Pulse" 	Music: "Pulse"
 	
*Freezing Man: I must apologize for what just transpired.
*Sarturus: I am Sarturus, one of the Divine Ten who served the Holy Emperor Karna Masta.
*Sarturus: The one who fought with you a moment ago was Raval, also one of the Divine Ten.
 	
*Raval: ...
 	
*Seria: One of the Divine Ten...
 	
*Karl: It would seem that we've run into some terribly important figures...
 	
*Sarturus: Now then... Allow me to ask you again. What is your true purpose for coming here?
 	
*Seria: Do you even have to ask? It's to restore the power of summoning back to the way it was.
 	
*Raval: You lot...are the ones who destroyed Lord Karna Masta...
*Raval: ...thereby causing the power of summoning to be disturbed, and yet you have the audacity to say that?!
 	
*Tilith: Th-That's...
 	
*Karl: This might sound like an excuse, but...
*Karl: ...even we didn't think such a thing would happen.
 	
*Raval: Hmph...! That lack of foresight only proves how foolish you humans are!
 	
*Sarturus: Raval, they have their own circumstances...
 	
*Sarturus: We could only observe things from here, but...
*Sarturus: ...if you think about the conflicts between gods and humans, it's not hard to see what may have led to their actions.
 	
*Raval: Sarturus...!! Are you going to side with the humans?!
 	
*Sarturus: Come to your senses, Raval! Our personal feelings aren't what's important right now!
*Sarturus: What we must give priority to now, is the mission that was given to us by Lord Karna Masta!
 	
*Raval: ...!!
 	
*Sarturus: Now, as you were saying...
*Sarturus: You intend to return the power of summoning to normal, correct?
 	
*Karl: Yes...
*Karl: The reason we came to this world, is to restore the power of summoning and protect our homes.
 	
*Seria: And, the summoning arts are an indispensable part of our lives. 
*Seria: I can't imagine a future for Elgaia or Grand Gaia without them!
 	
*Sarturus: I see...
*Sarturus: Just to make sure, I must tell you...there's something you have misunderstood it seems...
 	
*Tilith: Huh?
 	
*Sarturus: Just because the Sealed God has become unstable... 
*Sarturus: ...does not mean that the summoning arts that you use will vanish.
 	
*Seria: Huh? But, in the other worlds we visited so far we weren't able to use the summoning arts very well...
 	
*Sarturus: It's true, the closer you are to where a Sealed God is present, the more the summoning arts will become unstable...
*Sarturus: ...which will have an effect on your ability to use them.
 	
*Sarturus: However, if you put some distance between you, then it should have no effect at all.
*Sarturus: The Sealed Gods do not exist to stabilize the summoning arts.
 	
*Seria: They...don't?
 	
*Sarturus: Even if all the Sealed Gods were destroyed...
*Sarturus: ...the power of summoning that you have mastered would not actually disappear.
*Sarturus: If anything, even if every last god were destroyed it would still have no real effect.
*Sarturus: Are you still willing to put yourselves at risk in order to return the Sealed God to its original state?
 	
*Karl: ...
*Karl: How is it that you all know all this in the first place?
 	
*Sarturus: You're wondering about us...fair enough.
*Sarturus: If we don't tell you about us, you have no way of knowing what we tell you is the truth...
*Sarturus: Raval, you have no objections?
 	
*Raval: Hmph...suit yourself.
 	
*Sarturus: As I mentioned, we serve Lord Karna Masta, but...
*Sarturus: ...for many centuries, we two have undertaken a certain mission, and are forbidden from leaving this world.
 	
*Sarturus: That mission is to monitor and protect this world's Sealed God...the Divine Dragon.
 	
*Tilith: For...many centuries?
 	
*Tilith: Is the Divine Dragon such an important entity to Karna Masta?
 	
*Sarturus: The Divine Dragon is the very heart of all the Sealed Gods.
*Sarturus: The Sealed Gods found in other worlds are nothing more than pillars that stabilize the Divine Dragon's power.
 	
*Seria: You mean the other Sealed Gods that were so very powerful, are only pillars...?
 	
*Sarturus: However, what is truly important is not the Divine Dragon itself...
*Sarturus: ...but the entity sealed within the Divine Dragon's body...

*Sarturus: ...the spirit and power of Pious Emperor Alza Masta.
 	
*Seria: Pious Emperor Alza Masta...
*Seria: Wait...didn't the Divine Phoenix mention that name?
 	
*Sarturus: Pious Emperor Alza Masta is the younger brother of Holy Emperor Karna Masta.
*Sarturus: He once fought the other Imperial Gods alongside the Holy Emperor as the Dark Emperor, but...
*Sarturus: ...eventually he came to oppose the Holy Emperor.
*Sarturus: He lost their eventual battle, and was sealed here in this world inside the Divine Dragon.
 	
*Tilith: Pious Emperor Alza Masta...
*Tilith: I never knew Karna Masta had a younger brother...
 	
*Sarturus: Alza Masta is only known by a select few gods in Grand Gaia.
 	
*Sarturus: Lord Karna Masta was that wary of his existence...
*Sarturus: ...and thus thought him best avoided.
 	
*Karl: I get it.
*Karl: So your job here is to monitor the Divine Dragon's...
*Karl: ...or rather, Alza Masta's seal.
*Karl: I imagine that you also know a lot about the Sealed Gods and the power of summoning...
 	
*Karl: By the way, is the Divine Dragon safe at the moment?
 	
*Raval: Hmph...after you all were foolish enough to kill Lord Karna Masta... 
*Raval: ...the seal temporarily became unstable...
*Raval: ...and it could have been dangerous had we not been here to contain Alza Masta's power.
 	
*Tilith: ...
 	
*Sarturus: It remains in an unstable state even now.
*Sarturus: However, thanks to you returning the other worlds' Sealed Gods to normal...
*Sarturus: ...we have been afforded enough breathing room to temporarily step away from the Divine Dragon's side.
 	
*Karl: I see...
*Karl: ...

*Karl: In that case, we should make our way to the Divine Dragon even more quickly!
 	
*Karl: Wouldn't you agree, ?
 	
*Raval: ...!!
 	
*Karl: From what I gather, this Alza Masta is quite dangerous, right?
*Karl: So much that, even though you are sworn to serve Karna Masta...
*Karl: ...you still weren't able to leave this world even when your master was killed.
 	
*Sarturus: ...
 	
*Karl: In which case, we can't overlook the risk of his reincarnation...
*Karl: ...even if, as you say, it has nothing to do with our summoning arts.
 	
*Tilith: That's right.
*Tilith: If he really does come back to life, it may affect Elgaia and Grand Gaia as well.
 	
*Seria: Not only that, we can't ignore the Abel Faction either.
 	
*Raval: ...
 	
*Sarturus: ...understood.
*Sarturus: There seems to have been some worth in meeting you.
 	
*Sarturus: If you mean to continue your journey in order to restore the Divine Dragon to its normal state...
*Sarturus: ...there is no reason for us to stand in your way.
*Sarturus: Only power equal to that of Lord Karna Masta will be able to restore the Sealed God to its original state, and for that you will need the summoning arts.
 	
*Raval: ......
 	
*Sarturus: However, we will not help you, either.
*Sarturus: Even if the Divine Dragon is suppressing it, to completely eliminate Alza Masta's influence and apply the seal once more...
*Sarturus: ...you will need to confront sheer power itself... 
*Sarturus: You can only succeed if you display true skill.
 	
*Sarturus: The Divine Dragon lies in its chambers deep within this world. You must get there by your own efforts.
 	
*Raval: All over this world you will encounter powerful dragons that can hold their own against the gods.
*Raval: Pray you don't exhaust yourselves halfway!
 	
*Tilith: I'm glad we don't have to fight them anymore, but...
 	
*Seria: Yeah...no matter how you look at it, they're testing our strength.
 	
*Karl: From their point of view, we're probably nothing more than enemies of their master.
*Karl: All we can do is gain their trust by showing them what we're made of.
