The terrain here is just as bad...

Paris
Guess there's no choice but to get used to it...

Paris
......

Paris
I can't keep complaining like this.

Paris
After all, the one who decided to come all the way out here was me...

Paris
......

Paris
By the way, I still haven't told you why I joined Summoners' Hall, have I?

Paris
He he. It's okay.

Paris
The story won't take long, actually.

Paris
......

Paris
Once Lord Eriole left and I was still in the Randall Empire, I realized something.

Paris
I realized that I couldn't grow to love my own country.

Paris
However, I didn't have the power to change it for the better from the inside.

Paris
That's why I left the country, to try to change it from the outside.

Paris
It was then when I received an invitation from a certain someone...

Paris
...and was shortly admitted into the Akras Summoners' Hall.

Paris
See? It wasn't such a long story after all.

Paris
The truth is that I had to go against my parents...

Paris
...and I almost became commanding officer of the Imperial Guard, amongst other things...

Paris
...but you're not interested in all that, are you?

Paris
He he. You're a strange one.

Paris
The enemy who always sought to be my friend.

Paris
To think that I'd be the one ending up in your team.

Paris
I never saw this coming...

Paris
......

Paris
But let's leave it at that, or I may get a tad bit depressed...

Paris
Now let's keep moving.

Paris
We still have a long way to go before we reach this Soaring Tree Tower, or whatever it's called.
