* (To Vamirio) *"That man called Helck. He is an existence that is a greater threat than you realize It's okay for now. He should serve as a powerful ally. But there is no guarantee that it will last. There is a whirlwind of countless emotions spinning inside that man. His way forward is darkness. What might await him at the end of a hopeless goal is... Never forget. That man hides within him a possibility of calling forth great calamity. I pray that you make the right decision."*
