*So, you chased Eriole all the way out here after all.
 	
*Grahdens: . Do you understand what you're getting yourself into?
*Grahdens: The opponent you will fight this time around is not a Fallen God menacing the world.
*Grahdens: He is a human, like yourself.
*Grahdens: ...
 	
*Grahdens: Hmph, your eyes say you're already well prepared for that.
 	
*Grahdens: Good.
*Grahdens: Well, I guess I shall stay for a bit to chat with you...
 	
*Grahdens: Eriole and his aide, Tesla, both grew up in the same orphanage.
*Grahdens: It seems that the two of them were brought up as siblings.
*Grahdens: But one fateful day, Tesla was adopted by a noble family from the Randall Empire.
*Grahdens: Thinking that Tesla would be able to live a better life in their care, Eriole was very happy for her.
 	
*Grahdens: However, that noble family did not appreciate Tesla.
*Grahdens: Several years later, Tesla returned to the orphanage.
*Grahdens: She had been driven out by her foster family.
*Grahdens: It was then where she seems to have lost her sight.
 	
*Grahdens: Of course, this is only gossip one hears here and there in the Randall Empire.
*Grahdens: Eriole was different from other people. One could say he possessed great, yet undeveloped talents.
*Grahdens: He was eventually adopted by a lower class noble family...
*Grahdens: ...entering the Imperial Army immediately afterwards. It was there where his talents began to bloom little by little.
*Grahdens: With his clear way of thinking, great ability with the sword, and his charming manner of speech...
*Grahdens: ...he distinguished himself from his comrades.
*Grahdens: It would seem that the authority and power he sought to obtain then...
*Grahdens: ...were all in order to realize his current plans.
*Grahdens: ...
 	
*Grahdens: . A person's heart is a fragile thing.
*Grahdens: Once hurt, it is difficult for it to recover.
*Grahdens: That is why many of us cannot continue living unless we have been entrusted with a purpose.
*Grahdens: However, even if that is true, I still want people to follow their own path.
*Grahdens: Once the world I hope for comes about, it may generate a lot of chaos.
*Grahdens: But even so, I want to realize a future with freedom.
*Grahdens: ...
 	
*Grahdens: Ho ho ho. I think I've rambled on for a bit too long.
*Grahdens: You have no need for anything else I might say from this point on.
*Grahdens: You shall now fight them, and then do what you feel is right.
*Grahdens: Perhaps the day will soon come when I can tell you of the surveys we are conducting in this land.
 	
*Grahdens: .
*Grahdens: Prepare yourself well before you face Eriole.
*Grahdens: A strong-willed person may be more of a challenge than the Fallen Gods themselves...
