Chapter 20: Terror Beyond the Trees

Meanwhile...

Elizabeth has just arrived in a small town beside a gigantic forest that is teeming with life.

Ara: "How do humans live this close to a forest and not chop it to the ground?"

Elizabeth: "I don't know."

Ara: "Maybe humans aren't as cruel as I thought.

Elizabeth thinks about an event involving a man being brutally murdered to death being surrounded by flames.

Elizabeth: "(darkly) Humans are cruel beings."

She walks forward.

Ara: "(in head) She doesn't seem like the type to sound cruel. What happened when I said that?"

Elizabeth walks forward with the sense of a scorched scar lingering on her body as people begin to whisper.

Citizen 1: "So when do you think that unique Wyvern is going to show up?"

Elizabeth: "Huh?"

Citizen 2: "Any day now. The forests have literally become untouchable with that thing roaming around."

Ara: "I can't really pinpoint who this could be. We're all somewhat territorial."

Elizabeth looks towards the trees.

Elizabeth: "We have to get through these woods here anyways."

Ara: "(confused) Star?"

Elizabeth: "My name is Elizabeth."

She rotates herself so she's looking straight at them.

Elizabeth: "I'll save these people."

Ara: "Are you mad?! You may be one of the three, but you are inexperienced with Breaks and you're still learning how to use your powers to the fullest!"

Elizabeth: "I know you're trying to get me to delay the inevitable."

Elizabeth heads for a nearby inn.

Ara: "(in head) It's not that it's inevitable, but I know that this time we will regain the Eclipse."

The sun is still shining bright in the sky.

Elizabeth: "(in head) I won't let people suffer."

She sheds a single tear as she steps inside.

Elizabeth: "I won't let people seen what I've seen."

Ara: "What... did you see?"

Elizabeth: "The dark side of humanity."
