A Fragment of the Past

Conversation

Sion: Vezard! I'm back.

Vezard: Sion! You have done so well.

Vezard: I heard everything went well.

Vezard: But.. I don't see that cheeky little fairy girl.

Sion: Yes.. Alice..

Deor: Sion...

Vezard: Do not be too upset. All is a part of nature.

Vezard: When you lose something, you will always earn something in return.

Sion: Okay...

Ombass: Sion.

Sion: Oh... Ombass.

Ombass: I must go to Verkiss.

Sion: To Verkiss?

Ombass: Verkiss told me to come see him when things end.

Ombass: He said that you should come to him as well.

Sion: Me too?

Ombass: Yes.. He has something to say to you.

Sion: Whew~ That's quite nervewrecking.

Vezard: Sion. Where will go now?

Sion: Hmm.. First, I plan to go back to Quinos with Deor.

Sion: Elder Elsior must be very worried Haha.

Deor: I was just about to say that we should hurry back.

Deor: He's probably.. skipping sleep to wait for us! Hahaha!

Sion: I think so too. Haha. Let's go before we waste more time~!

Deor: Okay! Let's go~

Sion: Vezard. Thank you so much!

Vezard: It was nothing, Sion.. Have a safe trip.

Sion: Okay!! Good bye.

Deor: Sion! Wait!! Stop~!!

Sion: What?? What's wrong?

Deor: Sion.. Don't you feel like we left something important?

....: You two really are so cruel!!!!

Sion: Huh??

Deor: Oh my god! Look at me... We forgot Cleo..

Sion: Cleo? You're safe!?!!

Cleo: Sion! Deor! Long time no see!!

Cleo: Where are you two going?

Cleo: So Sion didn't know... but how about you, Deor??

Deor: Cl.. Cleo.. Uhm...

Sion: Haha! Deor, Cleo still has you on a leash!

Deor: Wh... What??

Cleo: It's been a long time... I still can't get used to how you look but...

Cleo: Zero.

Sion: Cleo? How do you...

Cleo: Deor rescued me and we were coming out when I saw a suddenly glaring light...

Cleo: And... my memories came back.

Cleo: Do you... recognize me?

Sion: What do you mean... You're Cleo? / ....Wait, wait, no!

Sion: You.. You're not... Al...Alice?

Cleo: ...Zero...

Sion: Alice!!

Deor: What...What is this? What are you talking about? Cleo's the little fairy girl?

Cleo: That fairy didn't die. / She was a piece of my fragmented memory.

Deor: Cleo, you've been saying some very strange things. What are you talking about?

Cleo: I should formally introduce myself.

Cleo: I am Alice.. the one called Time's Witch in the past.

Deor: What?? What do you mean??

Sion: Deor... It might be difficult to understand, but I think Alice is getting her memories back like me.

Deor: Then who was the fairy?

Cleo: I was fragmented into various shards.. and they all seemed to have woken up on its own.

Cleo: The Cleo right now and Alice who was the fairy were the shards that were part of me.

Cleo: I think... as that fairy disappeared, the memory shards came back to me.

Cleo: So all the memories I've forgotten are coming back to me.

Deor: Why is it so complicated?

Cleo: I think once all the shards come back... I will have all my memories back.

Deor: First.. So to sum it up..

Deor: Cleo and the fairy are both Alice?

Sion: Well... Kind of.

Deor: Whew.. And Sion, you're Zero? That man??

Sion: Yes, that's right...

Deor: It's too complicated... Is that really important??

Deor: Right now, the only people I see in front of my eyes are Sion!! Cleo!! And no one else!!

Deor: Whatever!! What are you two going to do? Are you going back to Quinos?

Sion: Yes! Of course!!

Cleo: Yes~ We have to~!!!

Cleo: The Elder is waiting for us!!

Deor: Alright! Then just follow me!

Deor: Sion!! Cleo!!

Deor: So complicated... Gahh.. whatever.
