In Eden, the four factions live in harmony.

    The disciplines of Ignis, Terra, Ventus and Lux...

    All shall prosper in this Holy Land blessed by God.

    Had I not been so careless, nor so forgiving…

    Had I not been so trusting, nor so hesitant…

    Maybe things would have turned out differently.

    Never fear the children of the Dark!

    Never fear their whispers at night!

    Never fear to conquer!

    But, there is no going back in time.

    So instead, I will start over from the beginning.

    After all, I’ve never been the strongest.

    Nor have I ever been the smartest, or the best at anything.

    Do not be fooled, my children, march on!

    In times of crisis, we must unite!

    That’s why…

    Purge the Evil from our lands, purge the followers of Aqua and Nox!

    Tonight, we will capture the traitors of our empire!

    Losing everything I’ve had became an excuse to gain more.

    Because why not? I’m a greedy person by nature.

    The Atlantis family shall fall!

    Burn the castle, burn their sanctuary! We must not fail this time…

    Call it “revenge”, call it “justice”, call it “divine retribution” or whatever you will...

    I will definitely reclaim what was originally mine.

    And at the same time…

    “Yo, Zeph, it’s not the time to be napping. Hurry up, the expedition team is about to leave!”

    Oops, lost track of time. Time to get going. But, until the day I return…

    King Zephyrion must die!

    Keep my throne nice and clean for me, alright?

To be continued...
