Yes. my first home, which was taken from me by the monster eighteen years ago. Neet. Dart said

(Flashback)

(Dart's hometown - 18 years ago)

The scene takes place in the forest with a nearby village called Neet was being burned to the ground

It was when i was five years old. Neet was assaulted by the Black Monster. Dart said

The black monster was holding a knight and burned him to a crisp

Wow. Punk said

I know. Dart said

A family was coming out of the burned village it was a young Dart and his parents

We were lucky. Dart said

Why? Sophitia said

Dart's father looked at the log cave that was there and told his family to hide in it which they did

Only three of us had gotten out of the village. Dart said

Dart's mother approached his father and he hugged her and she hugged him as well

But my father returned to the village. Dart said

To fight the black monster? Batman said

Yes. But... Dart said

But what? Sophitia said

Young Dart approached his mother who rubbed his head a bit hugged him and went to the village as well

My mother followed my father to the village to help everybody, but that's where the Black Monster was waiting. Dart said

Did it kill them? Punk said

Yes. It did. Dart said

Wow. Punk said

I was left alone, shivering, and waited for dawn. Dart said

How awful. Sophitia said

What happened next? Batman said

Well... Dart said

The young Dart returned to the village which was destroyed it was burned to the ground

The sun revealed a foreign landscape. Dart said

Foreign landscape? Punk said

Yeah. Dart said

What do you mean? Sophitia said

It was a completely transformed Neet. Dart said

Oh. Sophitia said

The young Dart looked at the village destroyed before looking down and cried for a bit before he found something glowing

While i was crying i found something on the ground next to me. Dart said

What was it? Punk said

It was... Dart said

A memento. Batman said

(Flashback ends)

Back in the present Dart was holding a shining stone and showed it to the gang

What? Dart said

It was a memento, wasn't it? Batman said

Yeah. Dart said

Of your father? Batman said

So, you just came back from a journey to bring closure to the past. Lavitz said

Not exactly. Dart said

What? Lavitz said

I'm still not there yet. Dart said

Oh. Lavitz said

I need to find the black monster. Dart said

Wait a minute. Lavitz said

What is it? Dart said

You said Neet, right? Lavitz said

Yeah. Dart said

It doesn't seem to be a village in this country. Lavitz said

It was located farther north from here. Dart said

For real? Punk said

Yeah, but i guess nobody even remembers its name anymore. Dart said

Whoa. Punk said

Lavitz, tell us. What is going on in this country? Dart said

Currently, our Kingdom of Basil is at war with the Imperial Sandora. Lavitz said

Imperial Sandora? Dart said

Yes. The war has spread all over Serdio. Lavitz said

Why was the truce broken? Dart said

Truce? Punk said

It's a long story. Dart said

Oh. Punk said

Because of the Dragon, the legendary monster added weight to Sandora and broke the balance of power. Lavitz said

What happened? Batman said

Emperor Doel started to be more aggressive. Lavitz said

I see. Batman said

Dragon? No, no way! Such a thing can be used in war? Dart said

Do you know something about it!? Lavitz said

I was swooped down on by a Dragon before i entered Seles. I was overwhelmed. Dart said

What happened? Lavitz said

There was no way to escape from it. I was saved by a passing warrior. That's why i am still alive. Dart said

The Dragon is advancing faster than i thought. Lavitz said

We encountered that dragon too. Punk said

Really? Lavitz said

Yeah. Punk said

When? Lavitz said

A short while ago. Punk said

It was huge. Batman said

How huge? Lavitz said

Very huge. Sophitia said

Oh. Lavitz said

You guys were attacked by the dragon? Dart said

Yes. We were. Sophitia said

But we fought it off and escaped from it. Punk said

Wow. You guys were lucky. Dart said

We sure were. Punk said

But like you, we were glad to still be alive. Sophitia said

Wow. Dart said

We must do something or it'll be too late. Lavitz said

You mean more casualties? Dart said

Yeah. It's a 'war'. Lavitz said

Oh. Dart said

Anyway, i have to go back to Indels Castle in Bale. Lavitz said
