Lloyd, Genis, Double D and Nazz were back at Iselia and decided to head for Colette's house. There, they saw Colette and her family, the mayor of Iselia, Kratos, Sonic, and Raine. "Then, we shall entrust the protection of the Chosen to Kratos, Sonic and Raine." the mayor said. Kratos and Sonic agreed to it. Colette knew that Lloyd and the others arrived into her house and said, "Thank you so much for your help earlier!" "You're welcome." Nazz said. Phaidra gave her thanks by giving them a Collector's Book. "Thanks, Phaidra. Say, were you talking about the world regeneration journey just now?" Double D asked. "Yes." Phaidra said.
"Wow! I want to go, too! I wanna see Colette regenerate the world!" Lloyd said in excitement. "If Raine is going, I want to go, too!" Genis said because he wants to protect Raine. "I'm going so I can hang out with Colette while saving the world!" Nazz said. "I have no objections and wish to go." Double D said. Kratos disagreed because he thinks they are going to get in the way. "The battles at the chapel were nothing compared to the journey that awaits us. Children need to stay home." Kratos said. "Oh come on! These kids got style! I would let them go!" Sonic said, as if he actually wanted Lloyd, Genis, Double D, and Nazz to come. "Kratos is absolutely right. Now then, we still have things to discuss. You two should go on home," the mayor commanded. As Double D and Nazz started to leave and said, "Eddward and Nazz, welcome to the village." "Why thank you." Double D said.
As they left the house, Colette opened the door and told them to wait. As she walked, she lost her balance and tripped. "I'm sorry." Colette apologized. "It's not like it's your fault." Lloyd said. "Oh yeah…I'm sorry." Colette apologized again. "That was the wrong time to apologize." Double D said.
" Oh yeah, happy birthday, Colette!" Genis cried in excitement. Lloyd was puzzled. Double D and Nazz were shocked because they only met today on Colette's 16th birthday! "How old are you now?" Nazz asked. "16." Colette said. "I baked you some cookies. If I knew you'd be leaving tomorrow, I would've made something a little more special, but…" Genis explained and gave the cookies. "So what about you, Lloyd? You promised to make her a necklace, right?" Genis asked. Lloyd stammered. "…Don't tell me you forgot." Genis said. "Uh, it's…it's almost done. Uh, I'll give it to you…tomorrow, before you leave. I swear!" Lloyd promised. "Really? I'm so happy! As soon as I find out when we're leaving, I'll go to your house to let you know." Colette said in happiness. Lloyd asked if it's going to be dangerous and Colette answered with the fact that she's the Chosen. She then went back inside.
"Liar." Genis said. "If I start on it now, I'll finish it in time." Lloyd replied. "Double D. Nazz. Aren't you guys going to give Colette a present?" Genis asked. "Before we arrived, I bought a friendship ring for Colette. That should help." Nazz said. "And I'm giving her a brooch to go with Lloyd's necklace." Double D said. "Oh, really?" Genis said. He knew that Lloyd would forget, but he doesn't know if Nazz and Double D would forget. "Well, whatever. By the way, you're going home now, right? Can I go part of the way with you?" Genis asked. "Nazz and I would like to meet your parents." Double D said. "Sure. But why?" Lloyd asked. "I'm going to see a friend." Genis replied. "Huh? I didn't know you had friends outside the village besides me." Double D surprisingly said. "Does it matter? Anyway, can we swing by my house so I can get my stuff?" Genis asked.
They all headed for Genis' house."Let's see… There should be some ingredients for sandwiches in here…" Genis said to himself. "When you said you wanted to get ready, you meant picking up ingredients? Why are you bothering with that?" Lloyd asked. "You shouldn't make fun of cooking, Lloyd. We can't use healing arts, so we need to use food to keep up our strength." Genis replied. "But Double D has healing arts." Nazz replied. "True, but I can heal one at a time for the time being." Double D explained. "That's why cooking is important. Very well said, Genis." Double D said.
As they headed to the exit, a guard was screaming because a monster was at the exit. Apparently, it was no monster. It was Lloyd's pet dog, Noishe. "Lloyd, isn't your pet too big to be a dog?" Nazz asked. "Whatever. Noishe, I told you not to enter the village!" Lloyd said. "Lloyd, you shouldn't talk to him like that." Double D said. "Yeah! He takes you to the village every day!" Genis said. "Oh, that reminds me. Lloyd, the Mayor wanted me to ask you a question." One of the gaurds said. "What is it?" Lloyd asked. " It's about the northwest forest that you go through. You know there's a human ranch on the way through, right? You haven't been playing near the ranch, have you?" he asked. "Of course not! Right Genis?" Lloyd asked. "Y…yeah. Of course not." Genis said nervously. "Genis, is there something you like to share with us?" Double D asked. Genis replied with a no. "Really? If so, that's fine, but…that weird animal…" the gaurd said. "How many times do I have to tell you that Noishe is a dog!" Lloyd asked. "Okay. Make sure he doesn't go near the ranch too." The gaurd said. "Will do! See you tomorrow!" Lloyd said.
As they enter the forest, Noishe started to whine and wimper. "Ah, that's right. Noishe doesn't like this place." Genis said. "He'll never go near places like this that have lots of monsters. Even though you hardly ever see monsters bigger than him." Lloyd explained. Noishe whined and ran. "Ah, he ran off again! Fine, do whatever you want, Noishe." Lloyd commanded. They proceeded until Genis stopped. "This is my stop!" Genis said. "At the Desian human ranch? Doesn't going there violate the non-aggression treaty?" Double D asked. "Well the Desians did attack the temple, but..." Nazz said but got cut off by Genis. "I know I'm not supposed to… But there's someone I just have to tell about the oracle." Genis said. "Fine. I'll go with you." Lloyd said. "You coming?" Genis asked. "I refuse to go and break the rules! Think of all the melee and the breaking of all society!" Double D yelled. But as he opened his eyes he saw that everyone was gone and headed to the ranch. "Wait up fellows!" Double D cried a he ran.
