"I suppose it's time to tell you." Gareth's voice was surprisingly even despite his emotion. "Mira was a student with us at the Windurst Academy, and the one girl I've ever loved. We were the best of friends; I gave her the ring Fenn somehow obtained in the hopes we would be married one day. Then the Yagudo attacked..." His voice began breaking up slightly from emotion. "She took an arrow through the heart. Lady Shantotto arrived and destroyed the Yagudo, but I was too weak to save Mira... and Fenn just sat there and let her die. I've never forgiven him; that's why I swore I'd kill him one day."

"So... why do you keep bringing her up?" Alicia asked softly.

"A part of me died with her, a piece of my soul that was particularly attached to her. When I felt her die in my arms... it broke something within me. Ever since then I've become reckless and willing, if not eager, to die. Just so I could be by her side again. The memories make me feel whole, but I become more fractured than ever when they fade." Gareth cradled Alicia in his arms as he walked. "Forgive me. I was not my intent to burden you with my problems."

Alicia blinked and sighed. "Why are you anyways? You two seem to talk about her a lot..."

"Our rivalry began because we were both competing for Mira's heart. It grew into a bitter hatred for one another, and now it continues even after her passing."

"Why? She's... gone though. Why can't you see that?"

"I know that!" Gareth snapped before recovering his composure. "Sorry... didn't mean to yell at you. Memories of her keep coming back... especially since you look so similar to her."

"I...do?" Alicia looked to Fenn and then back to Gareth. "Is that why you keep talking about her?"

Gareth nodded. "Everything about you reminds me of her, from your physical form to your bright, sparkling personality. That's why I had to come for you; if I didn't, it would be like losing Mira all over again."

"You're... sappy." Alicia bluntly stated as she closed her eyes, going back to sleep. "Thwap him if you can... Fenn..."

Inside, Gareth felt his heart ache. She truly is like Mira. Weren't those the exact same words she said to me?

"... I've denied it a hundred times, but you will not listen." Fenn sighed. "I have never wanted Mira's heart. I just don't like you. I have my own reasons for that." He sighed. "... And I don't see it... Just a similar air to you. You're much stronger than she ever was... But her strength of will was really what she had... Not much more."

Alicia's ears twitched as she opened one eye. One could not tell what she was thinking, until five minutes lingered past.

"Don't worry... I don't care what you guys think... or compare me to... This is for myself... To become someone that people can rely on in times of danger... but what am I telling you this for? Heh... must be delirious..." Alicia returned to closing her eyes.

Gareth silently continued on, carrying Alicia. What is this that I feel? She reminds me of Mira, but is so much different as well... It doesn't matter. I pledged my heart to one person and her alone, and not even death will break that bond.

Do you want to here even more instruction?
"..." Fenn listened to Alicia's words. "... That pledge... It is a good one." He said. "Don't lose sight of it." He broke off from the two. ... I remember when I was one to jump at the call... Adventure... Glory... I joined the academy for that... I don't care about those things now... All I have left is my life. It was my fault you died, Mira. That's why I cannot allow myself the call of the adventurer.

"I won't... you'll see... I'll be the savior of everyone someday..." Alicia groaned as she felt a sharp pain down her back.

"And I'll be behind you all the way." Gareth reassured her. "Fenn, come on! We need to get back to Bastok!"

Fenn turned back. "I had no part in your mission." He said. "Anyways... I think I'm going to find another place to go for a bit... I'm sure you don't need me around anyways. You'll find me and kill me sooner or later." He started walking in another direction as rain began to fall.

"Hey, come back!" Alicia cried out as she grimaced in pain. "I have to ask you something!"

Fenn stopped yet again. "What is it?" He asked.

"Please... come with me... I need help doing this... realizing my dream. Please!" Alicia begged, struggling to speak without rationality.
