Sacred Stone Memories Chapter 10/Quest 5 - Storyline

Trap in Place
Saga Region. Water Temple.

Kagura	Hang in there! Don't lose faith!
Voda	Oh...how are...m-my people of the...water tribes?
Kagura	It's all right! There haven't been any further casualties! The damage has been stemmed to the minimum!
Voda	What a...relief...
Kagura	So-someone, tend to her! Hurry!
Sol	Don't worry. I told you I wouldn't kill the Sprites, didn't I? Besides, she's a woman. I went a little easy on her.
Kagura	Tsk...!
Sol	Still, I've finally obtained the third one. These Matters really are a lot of trouble to deal with.
Kagura	You...!
Sol	Honestly. You should be a little more grateful, redhead. I followed your request and kept casualties to a minimum. In any case...this may not necessarily be the end of it.
Kagura	What are you planning next?!
Sol	Why don't you ask her instead? Bang.
Voda People	Ughhhhh!!!
Kagura	Huh...?!
Sol	It appears she was setting a trap. Here I was, ready to end things peacefully...
Kagura	It can't be! Voda obediently surrendered...
Sol	No...it's not that woman.
???	Aghhh...!
Melda	...
Kagura	...!
Melda	Uck...ack...!
Kagura	You're...Seida's acquaintance...
Sol	You're the one who's been tailing us since we left the settlement of that battle faction. And you're the one who riled up this tribe, aren't you?
Melda	The Ma-Matters are sacred crystals that are integral to Saga! They aren't some little toy for the likes of you to play with!
Sol	You're all losers...with no place in the future of this world. And, as a loser, you have no right to an opinion.
Melda	Y-you don't understand the repercussions of misusing the Matter! You don't understand anything! They may very well be related to the ancient dragon that has been prophesied to destroy this world!
Kagura	The ancient dragon...?!
Sol	Are you telling me that this Matter might summon that dragon? Hehe...
Melda	Tsk! What's so funny?!
Sol	Haha. How splendid! A dragon would be quite incredible! You've renewed my interest in gathering the Matters. I look forward to seeing it with my own eyes!
Melda	Y-you...!
Sol	However...if that dragon was to become an obstacle for us, then that would change matters. I don't know what it signifies to you, but... If it stands in my way, I'll blow its head off.
Melda	...!
Sol	Come on. Let's go, redhead. Heheh. We may get to meet a legendary dragon, you know?
Kagura	...
Melda	I-I promise I'll make you regret this! You and all your friends! All of them!
Sol	...What?
Melda	Th-the cries of pain from my dead tribesmen call out to me...spurring me forward! A-all of you...I promise...
Sol	...Now, why would you say such a thing?
Melda	...What?
Sol	It contradicts my philosophy to kill a woman. However, if you're going to make my friends your target, you leave me with no choice but to kill you.
Melda	...! Oh...
Kagura	N-no! Stop!
Sol	It's too late. It's in a tribe's nature to try and weed out whoever it is that threatens their people.
Melda	!
Sol	Hm...?
Melda	Boar Tackle!!!
Sol	Uck...?!
Voda People	He fell for it! Now!!!
Kagura	Are those...the people from the water faction?
Melda	Come on! With that bow...we'll avenge all those who've died!
Sol	Well...who would've thought you'd set a trap like this? Quite cunning.
Melda	...?! Wait, people of the Voda faction! It's still not deep enough...
Sol	...Too late.
Voda People	Aghhhh!!!
Melda	!!!
Kagura	Ho-how...could you?!
Melda	...
Sol	Sorry. I didn't want to kill them either.
Melda	...
Sol	It's your fault for letting your mouth run wild, you know?
Melda	Wh...whaa!!!
Sol	But...as the leader, it's not right for me to break a promise. Will you forgive me?
Kagura	Sto...stop!!!
???	Hmm. You're quite the looker, but...you're not very popular with the ladies, are you?
Sol	?!
???	!
Sol	Agh...?!
Othima	I wouldn't call myself a feminist, but, you know...you've gotta treat women with respect.
Kagura	Ca-Captain Othima!!!
Sol	...!
