I wonder if Little Owen is all right?

Grahdens is with him, I'm sure he'll be okay.

Mind you, it was just like him to call such a deep wound a "scratch."

No kidding.

Still, that was the first time I've seen Lord Owen take such a deep wound.

......

If anything...it just goes to show how formidable an opponent Rahnas is. I mean, we knew that already, but...

......

Rahnas and the members of the Abel Faction...

The Divine Dragon, and Raval and Sarturus, the two gods who protect it...

Then there's the Pious Emperor Alza Masta, the sealed younger brother of the Holy Emperor...

I don't know if I'd call all of them our enemies, but there's no telling what's going to happen from now on...

But whatever does happen, we must be prepared to face it and do what we can.

Yeah...

Hey, Hans...

...don't think I don't notice you spacing out over there. Do you understand how serious this is?!

It's okay, Seria.

Hans is always like this.

That's true, it wouldn't hurt to look even the slightest bit worried, though...

Ha ha ha! Tell me about it.

Although, you could say that's part of what makes Hans so reliable!

Reliable is one word for it..., though I also suspect Hans just never thinks of anything...

Oh well...it would just be weird if Hans started acting any different now.
