Back when the True King ordered Baragona to kill the Torhid royal family, Baragona was about to finish the job by killing Hal, but Abel convinced him to protect Hal instead. Baragona, now fused with the Great Wall, begs the crew to destroy him along with the wall, but Gran vows to save him instead.
Scarlet Knight
Nalhegrande has a structure above it that cannot be seen in any other skydom.
Scarlet Knight
The Great Wall.
Scarlet Knight
It has been simply floating up there since before I was born.
Scarlet Knight
As a child I often wondered about its purpose.
Scarlet Knight
Now that I am older, and having inherited the Scarlet Throne from my father, I find myself revisiting that question once more.
Scarlet Knight
What is the purpose of the Great Wall?
Scarlet Knight
Why does it tower over the Nalhegrande Skydom?
Scarlet Knight
Why was our clan destined to walk this cruel fate...
Torhid Royal 1
...
Scarlet Knight
(How did it come to this?)
Torhid Royal 2
...
Some bear hope, while others entrust it away. And then there are those who know not but fear.
But none of Baragona's kin resist as they stand before the scarlet blade that will sever their connection to this world.
Scarlet Knight
(Father... Is this what you wished for?)
Torhid Royal 3
...
One by one they fall without a fight.
Such was the agreement reached among the royal family, led by Baragona's father as the king of Torhid.
Scarlet Knight
Father and the others were backed into a corner.
Scarlet Knight
He was a pure and noble man worthy of the scarlet throne's ascension. He had a strong sense of purpose.
Scarlet Knight
But it was that determination that forced him down the path of error.
In the days before the divine retribution's occurrence, the royal family of Torhid Kingdom came to a decision.
No matter how many dogged demands to activate the Great Wall from the True King come...
No matter how many victims it may claim, the Great Wall will never be yielded to the True King.
Scarlet Knight
No matter how many victims will pay, was it?
Scarlet Knight
My lineage held too fast in their duty to watch over Nalhegrande.
The True King must never be allowed to operate the Great Wall.
The simplest way to eternalize a lock is to destroy the keys, even if those keys happen to exist as living, breathing family members.
However, carelessness could potentially allow the True King to sniff out that plan.
Thus it struck Baragona's father to let the True King himself kill off the Torhid royal family.
Scarlet Knight
It really was a gamble at the time.
Scarlet Knight
An all-or-nothing gambit filled with madness that would stop at nothing to achieve its goal.
Torhid's king and queen tried to use the Great Wall against the True King.
But the True King and the White Knight put an end to that—thus the royal couple became sacrifices to the divine retribution.
Yet even this was a calculated move in the royal family's grand scheme.
Scarlet Knight
With the Great Wall reactivated, it could very well bring Istavion to ruin.
Scarlet Knight
This is what he, the True King, feared the most—that control of the wall would rest with someone other than himself.
Scarlet Knight
Determined not to let that happen, he set out to control my family line—we who are the keys to the Great Wall.
Scarlet Knight
But rather than control us all, it's easier just to reduce our numbers.
Things played out to the king of Torhid's expectations.
The True King used this chance to also test the loyalty of his subordinate, Baragona, by ordering him to eliminate his own relatives.
Scarlet Knight
Perhaps Father descended into madness just as the True King did.
Scarlet Knight
No... I honestly can't tell what anyone's true nature is anymore...
Scarlet Knight
These two hands of mine didn't show any hesitation as I stained them with the blood of my kin.
Baragona easily cleaves through his list of targets, arriving at last to the final heir to the throne.
His name is Halvarda, a boy whose parents perished from illness when he was very young.
However, Halvarda is not alone, for he is under the guardianship of a Torhid Kingdom soldier.
Abel
Prince Baragona! What brings you out here to this rustic, little—
Abel
Oops, His Highness would probably prefer that I not describe this place as rustic...
Abel
Oh! Perhaps you've come to pay him a visit?
Abel
I'll fetch him right now for you. Luckily we're about to finish feeding him.
Abel motions to a servant in the room.
Scarlet Knight
...
Abel
He's been eating a lot lately, you know. I can't say that's surprising for a growing Draph boy.
Abel
He's going to grow into a fine lad—a wonderful knight just like you.
Scarlet Knight
I did not come here to converse with you.
Scarlet Knight
Do not make me wait. The end lies with him...
Abel
...!
Don't tell me you...
Abel immediately snaps to attention, but it's too late. The servant reappears carrying a small child.
Servant
Master Abel, I have brought His Highn—
Abel
Run!
Scarlet Knight
Haaaah!
Abel
Ungh!
Abel blocks Baragona's attack in a flash.
Servant
Huh? What's going—
Abel
Just run! Get out of here! The prince is here to murder His Highness!
Servant
Gasp! N-no!
Scarlet Knight
Ah, the cat's out of the bag.
Abel
Prince Baragona, please reconsider what you're doing. I heard about the Great Wall and the keys.
Abel
This isn't right! You're the prince! I know you agree with me!
Scarlet Knight
If you're so sure about that, why don't you tell me what is right?
Scarlet Knight
One of my hands is tied to the True King of Istavion.
Scarlet Knight
The other to my family, as I am duty bound to protect the realm of the Nalhegrande Skydom.
Abel
How is claiming the life of a toddler going to protect anything!
Scarlet Knight
...!
Abel
Who's going to be left in the skies to protect if you go off hacking everyone to pieces?
Abel
As the governing power of Nalhegrande, the ones Torhid should be protecting are—
Abel
Urgh...
Blood suddenly spurts from Abel's mouth, and he collapses to the floor.
In his place is the man who took his life.
Gilbert
Blasted imbecile. You could've escaped had you only relinquished the brat.
Behind Gilbert the servant no longer draws breath.
Gilbert looks down at the child in his arms, his face eerily twisted.
Gilbert
Others will be drawn here soon.
Gilbert
Finish it, Baragona. Your duty calls.
Gilbert thrusts the child at Baragona.
Scarlet Knight
Y-yes...
The Draph takes a step back, readying his sword.
Scarlet Knight
...?
Sensing something off, he peers down to see Abel clutching at his leg.
Scarlet Knight
(Abel...)
Baragona waits mercifully as Abel struggles to speak.
Abel
...
Scarlet Knight
...
Abel's hand slowly slides down Baragona's leg as the final embers die away.
Gilbert
Hurry up.
Scarlet Knight
...
No words had left Abel's mouth.
But Baragona heard them nonetheless.
Abel
I leave His Highness... to you.
Scarlet Knight
I...
Just as Baragona is about to raise his sword, he gazes at Halvarda.
The young child is not afraid of him. What's more, the boy's innocent smile has yet to be erased.
Scarlet Knight
Nnh...
Scarlet Knight
(Why am I doing this?)
Scarlet Knight
That's when I made my decision.
Scarlet Knight
If I only had strength enough to protect one person in the world, I vowed that it would be Halvarda.
Armed with a new purpose, Baragona's first order of business is to placate the watchful eye of Gilbert through promise of allegiance and cooperation in all other matters.
Afterward Baragona makes a false report to the True King that he and Gilbert killed Halvarda.
Halvarda is then sent away to Silverwind Stretch with what few servants remain.
Scarlet Knight
That still doesn't change the underlying threat.
Scarlet Knight
As long as the Great Wall exists, Halvarda will forever be on the run.
Baragona begins to mislead the True King in order to destroy the Great Wall, originator of this tragedy.
But due to its sheer size, destruction from external sources is nigh impossible.
Scarlet Knight
Then it'll have to fall from the inside.
Scarlet Knight
I'll overload the furnace with fuel and set it off from within.
Baragona's own investigation reveals the True King's intentions for Gilbert.
The True King plans to fuel Gilbert with power from a gate connected to the Otherworld.
Scarlet Knight
It is imperative for Gilbert to go berserk.
Scarlet Knight
I can't allow any harm to come to him until he is completely consumed by Otherworld power.
The Scarlet Knight deceives everyone, waiting for time to ripen.
Only the last part of the plan remains.
One final life to offer in exchange for the downfall of the towering structure in the sky: Baragona's.
Any hesitation left in him was purged a long time ago.
???
...
Vyrn
Wh-what's this? The Scarlet Knight fused with the Great Wall?
True King
...
???
Unh...
Lyria
He's awake!
Scarlet Knight
Ugh... There isn't much time left...
Baragona faces Gran and the others.
Scarlet Knight
Listen to me, skyfarers of Phantagrande and generals of Idelva.
Scarlet Knight
I leave the fate of this skydom in your hands.
He proceeds to tell them the tragic story behind the Great Wall and his plan in its entirety.
Scarlet Knight
Halvarda stopped me from crossing a point of no return.
Scarlet Knight
Of course the atrocities I have committed will never be commuted.
Scarlet Knight
Therefore I will offer my life to honor the final wish of my departed family.
Scarlet Knight
With the destruction of the wall, no one will ever be able to lay claim to it.
Hal
What! But even then—
Scarlet Knight
The only worth my life has left is to absolve you from sin and rescue you from our doomed destiny.
Hal
...
Baragona turns back again to the crew.
Scarlet Knight
I ask that you apply the final measure.
Cain
Final measure?
Scarlet Knight
Make sure I am destroyed just like the Great Wall.
Scarlet Knight
Because I am a key, this fusion has allowed me to start the internal collapse of the wall.
Scarlet Knight
Even now it won't be easy, but it can be completely destroyed.
Scarlet Knight
We have crossed swords time enough for me to know what you are capable of.
Dialogue Option
That's what this has all been for?
Scarlet Knight
Yes... That's part of it. But I also found you all to be quite interesting.
Scarlet Knight
Especially you... for you are his child.
Baragona's expression turns grave as the ground convulses more and more violently.
Scarlet Knight
It's too dangerous to use this as our battlefield. You're liable to be crushed under the rubble in the aftermath.
Baragona looks to the cracks in the ceiling.
Scarlet Knight
I will wait for you up on the surface. I do hope the last thing I get to see is a clear sky.
Scarlet Knight
I know full well how mercilessly I have taken up arms against you.
Scarlet Knight
But I beg you...
Scarlet Knight
Please... Destroy it all.
Scarlet Knight
That is my final request.
The Scarlet Knight melts into the Great Wall and disappears.
Reinhardtzar
Tch... No chance for rebuttal? He just wanted to say his piece and leave.
Katalina
But judging from the situation, everything he's told us is probably true.
Io
He fought against us while thinking about all that stuff.
Rosetta
It must weigh heavily on him.
Rosetta
But the decision was probably made with a strong desire to protect something.
Hal
...
Eugen
What's the plan, Gran? Speaking of our options, escaping's still on the table.
Eugen
I mean, if ya really wanted to...
Dialogue Option
I can't ignore this.
Eugen
Hah! Yeah, guess not. You ain't the cap'n for nothin'!
Rackam
So we going up? That guy said he'd be waiting for us—
True King
You're going nowhere.
True King
That man has already set many things in motion, but it's not too late for me.
The True King glances at the White Knight, signal given.
White Knight
...
True King
Everything will be mine. Anyone who stands in my way will—
White Knight
...!
Golden Knight
Go now! This is my fight!
Dialogue Option
Ally!
Golden Knight
Don't you dare call me by that name!
Golden Knight
Leave! I won't be able to hold them for long!
With a final nod to Alliah, the crew dashes for the top of the Great Wall.
True King
I am shocked. Do you realize what you are doing?
Golden Knight
I beg forgiveness, Your Majesty.
Golden Knight
The Great Wall is far too great a threat.
Golden Knight
I have no regrets leaving this matter in the hands of those people.
True King
Hmm...
White Knight
...
Scarlet Knight
...
Scarlet Knight
You made it.
Dialogue Option
...
Baragona, who has assimilated with the Great Wall, greets the crew.
Lyria
Is there really no other way, Baragona?
Scarlet Knight
No, there isn't.
Scarlet Knight
Now that I have become fused as the key, I will not be released for as long as the wall stands.
Scarlet Knight
Soon I will lose myself and serve as one of its instruments of death.
Scarlet Knight
I implore you to destroy the wall before that can happen.
Vyrn
...
But the crew still can't take that final step.
Sensing their hesitation, Baragona makes one last plea.
Scarlet Knight
Gran. I know you will reunite with your father.
Scarlet Knight
When you see him, please give him this message.
Scarlet Knight
My life is forfeit in order to bring this dark chapter to a close. I have no regrets.
Scarlet Knight
However...
His voice grows quiet, memories of the past flooding his mind.
Scarlet Knight
However... Learning the ways of the sword from you were the best days of my life.
Scarlet Knight
Please find a way to tell him that.
Dialogue Option
No.
Scarlet Knight
What!
Rackam
Captain's right. If you got something to say, it better come from your own mouth.
Eugen
Haha! Damn right!
Eugen
Forget this dyin' stuff. Live on and tell it straight to the man's face.
Eugen
You know he'd obviously be happier with that too.
Rosetta
The world is full of words that never get their chance to shine.
Rosetta
As long as there is breath in you, never give up on what you want to say.
Io
Don't be a quitter! Nothing's over until it's over!
Katalina
Exactly. We'll take up our swords to save you.
Cain
It's positively unorthodox, but that's just how Gran and the crew operate.
Reinhardtzar
Let's fight already. Busting heads is lot easier than this doom-and-gloom crap.
Vyrn
Hehe! Sorry, Baragona, but we ain't gonna let you have your last words!
Lyria
We're definitely going to save you!
Dialogue Option
We won't let anyone die!
So many sorrows converge under the shadow of the Great Wall.
Gran, and those who have pledged to follow, seek to cleanse the darkness in the sky.
The crew's defeat of Baragona sets off a chain reaction. Gran saves Alliah from the crumbling Great Wall, who is in turn saved by the Grandcypher, which then plummets to the bottom of the sky. Meanwhile, Loki and Fenrir chase after a glint of light falling to the sky's depths, who they presume to be the Great Wall's creator.
Scarlet Knight
Gwah...
Scarlet Knight
Ungh...
Hal
Baragona!
Cain
H-hey! You okay?
The grueling battle ends in Gran's victory, freeing Baragona from the clutches of the Great Wall.
But all Baragona can do is groan in pain, drained of his senses.
Hal
Baragona!
Inside the Draph's head, Baragona is adrift in a sea of recollections.
These memories extend past the day his father made the fateful decision on Torhid's future.
Back to the day when Baragona first met Abel.
Abel
...
Scarlet Knight
...
Baragona, first in line to succeed the throne, bears witness to Halvarda's birth.
Unfortunately the strain is too much for the infant's ill mother to bear, and one life leaves as another enters.
The boy's father had already passed on, and so this burgeoning soul is brought into the world without ever knowing his parents.
Abel, now appointed as Halvarda's guardian, can't hide his remorse for Halvarda's circumstance.
And that's when they hear it.
Abel
...!
He's crying...
Abel
Uh, wh-why's he crying? Is he hungry?
Servant
Well, no, it's probably because...
Hearty wails from tiny lungs announce to the world that Halvarda is ready for his debut.
Scarlet Knight
...
As a prince, Baragona isn't prone to inaction, but all he can do this time is watch absentmindedly.
Abel
Prince Baragona.
Abel calls out to Baragona while holding the baby in his arms.
Abel
Prince... I present to you the newest addition to the Torhid royal family. Would you like to hold him?
Scarlet Knight
N-no, I...
The big Draph fumbles to finish his sentence.
Scarlet Knight
I'm just a boorish man-at-arms. I have neither wife nor child.
Scarlet Knight
He's finally stopped crying, and I'd rather not frighten him back to tears.
Abel
It's not like I'm married with kids either.
Abel
And I don't mean to boast here, but my grades were the crappiest in the military academy!
Scarlet Knight
Why would you bring it up then...
Scarlet Knight
Anyway, since you're still relatively young, I'm sure you'll acclimate to child-rearing in no time.
Abel
Having a pesky little brother helps too. Guess I've always had a soft spot for kids.
Abel
And, uh... There's someone I'm thinking of popping the question to, so maybe I'll read a book about raising kids or something...
Abel, in his embarrassment, tries to find a way to change the subject. It brings a smile to Baragona.
Scarlet Knight
I would tell you not to rush, but marriage is a joyous occasion.
Scarlet Knight
Allow me to congratulate you.
Abel
Wh-whoa, that's asking for too much, Prince—
Scarlet Knight
Nothing pleases me more than to see the smiles of my subjects.
Scarlet Knight
My happiness for you is genuine. I wish you all the happiness in the world.
Abel
Th-thank you...
Abel gives an awkward pause before breaking the silence.
Abel
Now then, Prince. While we're on the subject of happy subjects...
Abel places the infant into Baragona's arms.
Scarlet Knight
Oh, come now...
Baragona accepts the babe from Abel.
Scarlet Knight
...!
He laughed?
Halvarda has a look of utter contentment on his face.
Abel
He can tell with just a glance that you're a kind prince and not a sword-swinging barbarian.
Scarlet Knight
Is that a fact?
Abel
Yeah! Here, look.
Abel peers into Halvarda's eyes.
???
Ba... ona!
???
Please wake up! Baragona!
Scarlet Knight
...
Hal
Yes! He's back with us!
Cain
His body seems fine. Maybe it was from being imbibed with the Great Wall, but he doesn't have life-threatening injuries.
Scarlet Knight
(Ah... I hear laughter...)
Scarlet Knight
(Everyone's happy... Even in a place like this, maybe I can still say I belong here.)
Baragona, still dazed, feels a gentle squeeze on his hand.
Hal
Let's go home, Baragona. Everything's finally over.
Hal
Gran saved us all.
Scarlet Knight
I... see...
Baragona looks at Gran with a mixture of relief and awe.
Scarlet Knight
Thank you. You truly are unrivaled.
The Draph's appreciation toward Gran is sincere.
Not a trace of the tragic demon driven by ruthless volition remains.
Vyrn
Holy! This shaking's gettin' crazy! We'd better hightail outta here!
Reinhardtzar
It's starting to come down, and the ground is unstable. Don't go plummeting to your doom.
Those feelings of relief are fleeting. Gran and the others support Baragona as they escape from the crumbling structure.
Using the teleportation circle, Gran and the others head back down to the ruins of Starke Island.
Katalina
The True King and his retinue have already left.
Leona
Your Majesty!
Leona runs over to a fallen Pholia and cradles her in her arms.
Lyria
Huh? What happened to Alliah?
Rackam
Tch... Let's get out of here!
Rackam
Otherwise we'll be buried alive in a shower of broken wall chunks!
Eugen
This island sure picked a great spot to park itself in...
Eugen
All that rubble's gonna fall right on top of our heads.
Eugen
They had the right idea to flee just like we should be doin'!
Broken fragments of all sizes rain down on the ruins below as the party runs for cover.
They keep running for what feels like an eternity, dodging certain death in the form of crashing debris.
When they finally reach the Grandcypher, they spot an unfamiliar airship docked behind it.
Lecia
Gran! You guys made it!
Monika
As you can no doubt see, there is no safe harbor on this island.
Monika
Each ship is ready to fly at a moment's notice.
Rackam
That ship in the back is yours?
Monika
Yes. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I requisitioned it from Nalhegrande's Third Fleet of the Crew of Enforcers.
Eugen
You sure we can take off with all this junk rainin' down on us?
Rackam
Yeah... If we leave now, we'll be punched full of holes.
Rackam
If that happens, the only direction we'll be heading toward is down.
Lecia
You're right. That's why we're waiting for the debris to stop falling.
With a temporary plan in place, everyone proceeds to board the airships.
Gran heads for the Grandcypher.
Pholia
Nnhh...
Cain
Your Majesty! Is she awake?
Bai Ze
How do you feel, Sovereign?
Pholia
Unh... Huh?
Pholia rubs her eyes, looking around as if she has lost something.
Pholia
Alliah... Where is she?
No one can give her a definitive answer.
Leona
Maybe she left with the True King, the White Knight, and all the other Istavion people?
Cain
I don't think so. In fact she stood against him at the last minute.
Cain
It's probably not going to be easy for her to show her face around him anymore.
Reinhardtzar
So you're saying she's still somewhere in the Great Wall?
Pholia
...!
Pholia suddenly ups and dashes away in the middle of the conversation.
Pholia
Alliah!
Pholia's sharp eyes spot it among the falling debris field.
A glimmer of gold.
Golden Knight
...
Pholia
Alliah!
Pholia
I'm coming—
Bai Ze
Calm yourself, Sovereign! You will be crushed in the falling rubble!
Bai Ze
And with this much interference in the air, I am unable to fly in there as well!
Pholia
But if we don't do something, she's going to—
Their argument intensifies, just like Alliah's speed as she hurtles toward the bottom of the sky.
Dialogue Option
...!
Gran's body starts to move on its own.
Cain
What!
Sprinting at full speed, Gran kicks off the edge of the island, arms extending out to the Golden Knight.
Dialogue Option
Gotcha!
Golden Knight
...!
Gran swings the flat end of their sword with tremendous strength at Alliah, knocking her toward safe ground.
Cain
Gran!
But the laws of physics dictate that Gran must be pushed in the opposite direction.
Gran is unable to do anything except allow gravity to do its job.
Wind whistles past Gran's ears, memories of the journey thus far flooding in.
But now is not the time to be surrendering to dreams of the past.
Rackam
Hah! How's that for a last-minute catch!
Lyria
Are you okay? Do you have any broken bones?
Katalina
Honestly, you do this every time.
Io
Can't you think about how we feel once in a while?
Eugen
Haha! You don't become a skyfarer by thinking before you leap!
Rosetta
Well, the important thing is you're safe. That landing seems to have been a little rough on you though...
Dialogue Option
How did you...
Vyrn
We launched the Grandcypher as soon as we saw you jump off.
Vyrn
Once you started falling, we realized we'd just have to break your fall!
The shower of debris shows no sign of letting up.
Rackam
We've got holes everywhere. The wings, the ballonet, the deck, you name it...
Eugen
Forget about flying. We ain't even stayin' afloat for much longer.
Rosetta
Our next destination's pretty much set.
Dialogue Option
The bottom of the sky?
Vyrn
Yep. What're we gonna do now, Gran?
Dialogue Option
We'll be fine as long as we're together.
Lyria
Yes! Everything will work out since we have each other!
Katalina
Oh, you two... But I suppose pessimism isn't going to help given the situation we're in...
Io
It's time to rely on ourselves instead of pure, dumb luck!
Io
There's no way our journey's just gonna end right here, right now!
Vyrn
Preach it, girl! Just strap in for the ride!
Vyrn
Our next stop is down! Let's do it, Gran!
Nothing seems to faze the crew as they set their sights upon the next leg of their adventure.
The Grandcypher gives its body to protect its passengers from the debris; wood and metal chip off from numerous impacts.
The ship's velocity increases, and the crew grip hard as they plunge down below.
Noa
...!
Noa
That's right. I have to prepare a little something for everyone's journey.
Noa
Don't worry. Your travels aren't over yet.
Noa
One child of the sky is not strong enough alone.
Noa
But none of you are flying solo.
Noa
You are a magnificent skyfaring crew who has earned the love of your ship.
When the crew steered the ship into the debris field...
Giving up on Gran was never an option.
The seeds of hope are fostered into unshakeable faith, the kind that fuels adventurers to even greater exploits.
The crew plummets to the bottom of the sky riding a current of broken wall fragments.
Back on the surface of Starke Island, two figures watch the port from afar.
Fenrir
Aah, what a waste.
So says Fenrir as the primal beast stares at the crumbling Great Wall.
Fenrir
It was such an awesome weapon, wasn't it? Why'd you keep your mouth shut and let them break it?
Loki
Hm... Let me answer that with my own question.
Fenrir
Huh?
Fenrir's brow knits with suspicion at Loki's amiability.
Loki
The Great Wall existed over the Nalhegrande Skydom for a simpler reason.
Loki
Do you remember what that was, Fenrir?
Fenrir
If it's not a weapon, then... a tombstone? Something about a grave marker, right?
Loki
Yes, that's right.
Loki
At least that's how the later generations of skydwellers took it upon themselves to interpret anyway...
Loki's face contorts with pure joy.
Loki
Well, I wouldn't say they're wrong per se.
His lecture continues as he points at the wall.
Loki
It goes without saying that the Great Wall is no natural creation.
Loki
Someone created it to fight something.
Fenrir
So who's that someone?
Loki
The Astrals.
Loki
It was built to rule over the skies of Nalhegrande.
Loki
But the Astrals also had primals, weapons capable of power equal to that of gods.
Loki
So why did the Astrals build the wall if they already possessed those weapons?
Loki
Not to mention that its construction came after they subjugated the entirety of the Sky Realm.
Loki
Therefore it wasn't expressly built to fight against the skydwellers.
Fenrir
Just tell me why the Astrals built the thing then.
Loki
Who can say? You'd have to ask the architect now, wouldn't you?
Fenrir
But they're...
Loki
I wouldn't worry about that. Astrals have long life spans. We don't die that quickly.
He isn't finished talking.
Loki
How about this? The Astral that built the Great Wall to fight whatever is sealed inside it.
Fenrir
Sealed?
Loki
The seal lies deep within the wall.
Loki
The only way to release that seal is to destroy the container acting as its foundation.
Fenrir
And that container is—
Loki
Yes, the Great Wall itself. And wouldn't you know it, the Great Wall is coming down all around us.
Loki stares at the wreckage of the Great Wall with apparent satisfaction.
In that moment, a glint of light among the rubble falls toward the sky's bottom like a shooting star.
Loki
It's time for us to go too, Fenrir.
Fenrir
Humph.
Loki and the primal beast Fenrir leap gracefully into the void.
Their goal lies where sky blue turns to crimson red—where reality is distorted from normality.
An ancient, harsh land rejected by the sky takes the stage as the beginning of a new adventure.
