*Lugina: So this is the Ancient Dragon's Wood.
*Lugina: I wouldn't be surprised if we ran into the old carcass of an ancient dragon in this spooky place.
 	
*Seria: The Ancient Dragon's Wood?
 	
*Paris: According to an old legend, and ancient dragon used to sleep here.
*Paris: After waking from its deep slumber just before the great war with the gods, it destroyed a small country nearby.
*Paris: Legend says that the dragon was sealed away once again afterwards.
*Paris: Actually...the desert that lies not too far from here is all that's left of that small country that was destroyed.
 	
*Seria: The whole country was reduced to...sand?
 	
*Seria: To think that an ancient dragon could cause such a ridiculous level of destruction...
 	
*Seria: Anyway, Ark, or whatever he's called...
*Seria: ...he said we should head towards the Grand Gaia Crater, like it's such an easy task and all that.
*Seria: But it looks pretty far away, if you ask me...
 	
*Lugina: Tsch, if you have time to complain so much it must mean that you've already decided what you're gonna do, right?
 	
*Seria: What's that supposed to mean?
 	
*Lugina: Why do I even bother...
 	
*Lugina: Hey, Karl!
*Lugina: Explain what's going on here to this airhead!
 	
*Karl: Seria, the time for us to make a choice is drawing near.
*Karl: I'm talking about what we will do once Lord Lucius has spoken to us.
*Karl: And what we plan to do according to what he says.
*Karl: For example...
*Karl: ...what will we do if Lord Lucius says he will close the gate that connects Elgaia to Grand Gaia?
*Karl: Or what will we do if he says he will destroy humanity, like Eriole claims?
*Karl: We have to think about how we're going to handle each situation for when the time comes.
 	
*Seria: I knew that, I'm not stupid.
*Seria: But we can't really decide on anything until that time comes, can we?
*Seria: Although, if he does intend to destroy humanity we'll have no choice but to fight him.
 	
*Lugina: You say we'll fight him like it's so easy...
 	
*Seria: Well, obviously we'll try to reason with him first.
 	
*Lugina: A god will think nothing of your existence...
 	
*Seria: Shut up!
*Seria: What else are we supposed to do? Just stand there and let ourselves be destroyed?!
 	
*Karl: C'mon, guys.
*Karl: Either way, when that time comes, we'll have to fight the Goddess as well.
 	
*Seria: I won't fight Tilith.
 	
*Karl: Oh, well--
 	
*Seria: I-won't-fight-Tilith.
 	
*Lugina: That woman is terrifying...
 	
*Paris: He he. I think that sincerity is what Tilith liked about her.
 	
*Seria: Wh-What?!
*Seria: I just say whatever's on my mind, that's all!
*Seria: It's not like I can use my mind to change my feelings, right?
 	
*Karl: Ha ha ha. That sounds exactly like something you would say, Seria.
 	
*Karl: Everyone's entitled to think what they like of the situation at this point.
*Karl: But the most important thing is to keep moving forward!
*Karl: Everyone, let's move out!
*Karl: By the way, .
*Karl: Try to start getting your own feelings in order.
*Karl: The moment you let go of your emotions, it will be too late to make a choice.
*Karl: And the choice you make may affect the fate of the entire world as we know it.
*Karl: That's all I wanted to tell you.
 	
*Karl: Well, shall we get going?
