Scene 018

IsaacOw... My head is... spinning...

IsaacWhere are we...?

IsaacOh no! Grandma!

Trista...I'm sorry. I didn't have any choice.

IsaacWhat happened to her?

IsaacWhy was she fighting? Who was that other woman, anyway?

Trista...Oh, I'm so sorry! If only I were stronger...!

IsaacAren't you listening to me? I don't care about that! We've got to go back and help Grandma!

TristaNo!

Isaac!?

TristaThink for a moment. At what cost did your Master allow us to escape?

TristaShe has placed all her hope in you and your Wand. For that, she gave... her life...

IsaacGave her life...? No!

IsaacWhat are you talking about? I don't understand what any of this means!

IsaacWhy does everyone I love always leave me?!

IsaacWhy...?

TristaOh, Isaac... I know this is hard for you.

TristaBut you need to know what is happening in the world... and your role in it.

Isaac......

TristaFor centuries the world has been protected by seven Sages. Each Sage possesses a powerful Wand.

TristaBut one of the Sages started to perceive the deeds of man as foolish and wanton.

TristaHer name is Seneka Windell. The most beautiful Sage, also known as the Diva of the Twilight.

IsaacSo she was the one my Grandma was fighting?

TristaThat's right. She wants to gather together the seven Wands left by the Creator.

TristaUsing their power she will turn herself into the new Creator and then remodel the world.

IsaacThat's insane!

IsaacSage or not, she is still just a mortal! How can she hope to become a new Creator?!

TristaYou're right, of course. It's very sad...

TristaBut this is the reality. She has already obtained at least five of the Wands.

TristaIf your Wand of Light were to fall into her hands too... all might be lost.

IsaacThe Wand of Light? What... you mean my Wand?

TristaYes. The Wand entrusted to you by your father...

TristaOr should I say, the keeper of the Wand of Light, the Bishop of the White Night.

IsaacMy father... is a Sage?

TristaNot only that, the Bishop of the White Night is the head of the Sages.

TristaThat position is a closely guarded secret, of course. Even from family.

TristaThe threat of others trying to take advantage of the Sage's power is just too great.

IsaacThat's enough!

IsaacI don't want to hear any more! What is all this - suddenly dumping everything on me!

IsaacIt's just too much...!

TristaIsaac!!

TristaIsaac!!
