Epilogue
WHERE AM I…? I was crying in my room… It’s so dark… I can’t see…
“This is the place where our mind meets yours. Welcome, Velmeria Bayreeds.”
Who are you?!
“Us? We are us! The many in one! All in one!”
I don’t understand… I was fighting those fanatic soldiers… Are you working for Aschtner?
“Us? Work for Aschtner?! You’ve got it the other way around! He works for us!”
Did he betray the crown…?
“No, no, no. You don’t understand. Not yet. But you will be part of us once all this is over. You will understand then.”
“Oh ho ho. We can’t wait to have you with us, sweet Velmeria.”
I don’t know what you’re talking about!
“She is quite adorable, with the way she raises her voice when she gets scared.”
How dare you! I am not afraid…!
“We suppose this one’s bark is worse than her bite. You should learn to be more honest with yourself. There’s only one of you, after all.”
“I want Father to love me.”
“I want to be stronger.”
“I want Mother to acknowledge me.”
“I just want things to be easier.”
“I want my teacher to praise me.”
“Why won’t anyone acknowledge me? I’m trying so hard.”
“I’m tired. I want to throw it all away.”
I…
“Heh heh heh. You know we only voice your deepest desires.”
You’re wrong! I am Velmeria Bayreeds! My mission—
“That was enough to make you falter? You really are sheltered.”
My…mission…?
“It seems our minds are connected now. Go to sleep. We’ll take good care of your body.”
Ahh…
“Excellent. The lady has fallen asleep. And we thought we wouldn’t have enough drugs to pull it off.”
“Heh heh heh! Finally, a descendant of the dragon maiden!”
“Our powerful skills combined with Superhuman. And of course, that skill…”
“The difference between man and drake is astounding. Such power…”
“She’ll do, even if she is only a halfling.”
“Ha ha ha! This city is ours now that we have her!”
“She took well to the drug. Now we just have to awaken her power.”
“We just need to give her skill a test drive now!”
“Will we be able to use it soon?”
“Indeed. The drugs have put her to sleep for now, but we will be able to control her with our replica once we assimilate her mind.”
“Assimilation takes time…”
“Which means our real body can assimilate her in a snap! Oho! Only one thing we left to do—”
“Onwards! To the palace!”
“Hee hee hee. Once we assimilate the king, the whole nation will be ours!”
“And then we shall heal our body, broken by that fiendish Holy Order!”
“All we need are Godswords and Godsmiths! We are one step closer to regaining our power!”
“We’ll burn this country to the ground if we have to. We’ll do anything—”
“To achieve our ambition!”
