Arc 1 - Epilogue: Plato - Circle of Calculation

"Everything is still fine at the slum ?"

"Grandfather is used to this i don't see why i can't, anything new about Jyllad ?"

"Rho is taking care of that so don't worry about it but they are much of a threat, they seem to have some connection with WORLD."

"We met Kalifia in the slum, so i think both of them are connected to WORLD, after the twelve princes defeated in Arborine they must find something to work as replacement. So small outlaw organization should work just fine as a replacement, not as powerful as Twelve Princes."

"That should only be Eleven Princes, Elven fall and one ramain, the Prince of Creation and Innocent, am i right master Higeki or Prince Higeki of innocent."

"Haven't heard that for who know how long and even so, i never consider myself to be a prince, that title is created by grandfather and his will. The last report on his table mention this, plant inside people a seed of hope and another seed of power and watch it flourish."

"An experiment ?"

"You could say that."

"And you are not angry ?"

"I do, i am angry but my devotion to him is going far beyond anger and hatred, now i only want to finish his first intention when he came to this world, return it to balance."

"Under your grandfather's name ?"

"No, under the honor of the Salvatore."

"The savior... then we also believe you after all, you defeat the strongest group in Altoris. Now the only left is cleaning up and make a new world."

Not everything is that easy, the slum is influenced too much by despair and vainity, the city is struggle to maintain its current state while the highest of WORLD, factory directors eating people alive for their own need. Their greed put people in misery, the people in the city suffer because of those who even richer than them, but if all of them are suffering then who caused that, who is the sources of all suffering, but the reality is harsh and cruel, they are their own source of suffering.

"A trial for this world and they failed. I don't blame them, desire sometime can be really hard to control that is a part of this world, the thing make me sad is someone who want to control how people desire."

"Anything interesting in the city ?"

"I think Theta should be the one who report about the city."

"Well, he is quite a playful person, just pardon him for me."

"Then there is nothing so far but i think even those live in the city has their own suffering, like a gold fish. Maybe those in the city can learn to sympathy to those live outside or when our plan success they will be the first to fall, i don't want more meaningless bloodshed."

"I can be avoid sometime but not all the time, minimize the disaster is another way to build and empire. Maybe there is another way, but not to be Orchust ?"

"I'm not sure but there must be a way to make people sympathy with each other, but can that happen in a world like this."

The grey snowflake slowly falling from the sky, winter or summer is no longer matter, the cloud created from the smoke block the sunlight, just like on that the world colder. But not in this house, the beautiful green plain grandfather created, the last of nature in this world. The most important thing is what to do after WORLD truly end, how can we recover the state of the old world, Altoris is nothing but a ruined land, is there any hope for salvation. 

"This world is suffering, i saw two elites of WORLD, Landros and Ivarna, they both hold information, very important information but they also fear the fact they will be banish if they can't sustain their life in the City."

"Even if you are an elite of the City, when you die in the slum, no one will investigate that incident for you. You are simply faded away from the city but i think there are more than just WORLD. Someone else trying to cause disaster, manipulate those small organizations in the slum, can you help me investigate them, i will send a few more member if you need."

"I think we can take care of everything just fine, beside, if they found us but i think that will be really hard, you see no one know about grandfather's house. He was caught by no one else rather than a traitor, the Eleventh Prince, Ruselt."

"That traitor."

"Except him, everyone i missed them a lot."

"It is logical for you to miss them afterall, they are still your friend. And remember this, we - the savant we don't fear of death but we fear that the one we care for may fell that is what give us power to fight for ourselves and to protect ourselves. Maybe you can be stronger or even acquire new power when you have desire to protect someone in this world."

"Well, i am my grandfather's successor then it is my duty to protect you all."

"No our bond is not enough, it has to be something deeper, maybe that man is something can be your reason to move forward."

"Maybe but i still have doubt."

"Well, master Musouka's word is the word of wisdom there are moments in your life you have to make your own decision like when he ordered us to remain in the shadow and work as researchers, we against that and asisst you in the fight against WORLD and we may not be able to stop their influences but we weaken them a lot."

"Maybe you're right, i think i will trust him a little more."

"And if anything went wrong you still have his life in your hand right ?"

"Are we going, Higeki ?"

"Coming."

Once in a while, lower your guard, let's see if you are being honest to your oath. In my heart there is a special thing the seed of hope and power like other prince but as his grandchild, he planted in me the seed of doubt. Doubt is good if it can be balance with other, doubt can become cautious, maybe he wanted to keep me safe. But grandfather please forgive me this time for disobey your order, i beg your pardon.

"So let's go around the slum again, maybe we can got some information from my old friend here."

Arih do most of the talking job while my job is just a request from him to watch him and make sure he's not the traitor. But isn't that a little bit too much just to prove yourself to someone, who are you, who are you really, Arih, what is your original home ? Are you using a cognative filter to hide you ear and tails ? Or are you making yourself look older to hide your eternal youth. But for whatever reason, you trust me with your life and that is enough to me, for now i will believe you and i will watch you, one suspicious movement you will know the result. 

"Still there ?"

"Yeah, anything interesting you found ?"

"It seem like my old companion is not that really friendly and they kind of a robber now and they are coming."

"Can't trust everything for other to do."

A man lunge toward us with a knife in his hand but thank for the new device Omikron provide i can use my barrier magic without turning into a living battery. The barrier panel block the attack allow Arih to counter that, if you can't conquer them by love and mercy, conquer them by fear and pain, Arih's attack didn't kill that man which is a good thing to know. The state of near dead is better to control, fear taking over the man make him freeze, this no the direction i wanted for the future. 

"You can stop Arih, i will give you everything you know but that boy is innocent."

"... You still can keep your sympathy for other ? That's rare in this world... Thank you for that hope." (Higeki.)

"Who is this ?"

"My new boss - Higeki, i am currently his caretaker, Higeki this is Alard. But back to the main point, do you have any information about the Jyllad Wanderer ?"

"Never thought you would work for someone ever again and a child on top of that."

"Well, he is a good kid and good children deserve our care isn't that right, Father Alard of the church of Radiant Nature."

"Church of Radiant Nature, isn't it a small group that Grandfather used to mention about, what is your relationship with Musouka Kyuseishu ?"

"Our organization is much larger than any other normal organization you know, the church exist since the disappearance of Orchust the puppeteer. At first, we called ourselves servant of equity but soon we called as church of radiant nature since we start to act like a religion while the ORDER protect us."

"But people growth, and you lose your voice."

"People changed and they want more and living in harmony can't provide that so they turned their mind to what they can get from the nature and do they need to give the nature thing they take. We tried to convince them, you like your grandfather, both of you don't want bloodshed and try to choose peace as an option."

"I do act like him, i always choose peace but i am different from him, pacifist but i won't mind begin a war in the name of protecting everything i consider to be precious. WORLD started this war with my homeworld and i won't mind start a war with them, this has to be the end to them and the liberation to Altoris."

"Sometime thing can be simple but what about what happen after the liberation of Altoris, people depend on WORLD for too long and now if that gone how can they survive ?"

"I believe Altorian have strong will, they can overcome this like everytime, i already have my plan in my mind. The future for Altoris and if you think i will be in the new government of Altoris, you are wrong, i only help this world because it has something to do with my future. Fate of the world is decided by their own people and you see, i am Arborian, not Altorian."

"To ask an outsider to help our own world with our own problem, i guess that other intention you have must be something far greater than finding your grandfather."

"It is a part of the plan."

I don't know about the future but i know my intention, that is the most important thing i need. This world should only be controlled by their own people, we cannot interfere with their own Grandfather, the way WORLD act only lead to their own destruction. We shouldn't act in the first place, now we both are misery, i can't find you and you are trapped somewhere.
