Prelude 0-4

== Hyenonn - Opening Half ==
The scene opens in a dream sequence of Hyenonn's. He is visited by a robed figure, which is recognized as Somnium from the prologue. He gives a monologue:"You have spent your whole life running. Upon you was thrust the responsibility of an Empire. You are just a boy and the victim of a broken world. Release the shackles that have been placed upon you, then think not of yourself, but the people suffering for the Kaze Empire."Hyenonn is convinced by Somnium to join the organization known as the Eritomoru. They are infamous for causing the attacks on the nations that lead to the simultaneous deaths of many world leaders. Hyenonn believes they can finally topple the Kaze Empire and free Soyaze from the oligarchy that plagues it and its people.
== Elenai - Closing Half ==
During the night the Exiled Prince runs away. Elenai secretly follows him in the night. Hyenonn is ambushed and severely injured by a Hysterian, prompting Elenai to defend him from the Elf that now opens a portal to the Shadow World. The two fight the Elves that emerge from the portal for several minutes until Somnium summons himself to close it. He proclaiming to Elenai that the Hysterian's are now sealed within the world and will not threaten her.
Elwood inexplicably enters the fray to defend Elenai. Somnium flees to avoid a fight. Elwood also leaves through an exit portal, which Alcia sneakily emerges without Elwood's knowledge. She fights her sister for nearly a full hour. Alcia wins despite being beaten, bruised, and bloody. Her sister is knocked out. Alcia debates killing her, but there is a lot of conflict in her heart. She refrains from doing so as thoughts of Elwood enter her mind.
Three hours later, Jake wakes up and searches for Elenai and Hyenonn. She finds her unconscious in the dirt covered in blood. He pleads for help from Typhallos but gets no response. Instead, Elwood appears and heals her. He berates Jake and tells him to be nicer to Elenai before vanishing.
== Alcia/Elwood Mini-story ==
After her fight with Elenai, she returned to her home with Elwood. They talk and he yells at her for attacking Elenai, revealing that Elenai is his daughter. He leaves the area to find Elenai so he can make sure she is okay, encountering Jake when he does so.
