A/N: Nothing much today, except I owe a big thanks to Twilight Scribe for the shout-out in 'Z-Skit Theater'. Enjoy.
Conditions: You've rescued Estelle from Alexei.
Who's Who: Estelle is Normal, Karol is Bold.
Earned His Place
Karol?
What is it, Estelle?
Yuri told me what happened at the Blade Drifts of Zophier.
Oh, that? That was nothing. (blush)
No, it was not! You risked your life and nearly died to save Yuri and the others!
…I know, Estelle. I just couldn't abandon them, not after everything they did for me. I owed it to myself, you, and everyone else to save them.
Still, I'm very proud of you, Karol. You know what I think?
What?
You've grown. Only a true leader would do what you did; like the Don.
…You really think that, Estelle?
I do. Personally, I think that you have now truly blossomed into the true leader of Brave Vesperia.
…Really!?
I do. And I owe you my thanks; if you didn't save everyone, I wouldn't have been saved. So, thank you, Karol. (hugs Karol)
…No, thank you, Estelle.
Karol has earned the title of 'The Next Don': A young warrior who has proven that he has what it takes to follow in his idol's footsteps.
A/N: I was doing my Unknown playthrough of Vesperia today when I got to the Blade Drifts. Karol's moment of bravery was one of the more touching moments of Vesperia. Well… please review and give ideas!
