8 8 301 The pitch darkness returns, but it does not stop Lucia.
9 9 301 Shards of memory hover in the air, seemingly luring her to reach out for them.

12 12 301 She reaches out for the shard in front of her, but she stops as she hesitates and looks up at the Mind Beacon.
13 13 301 Lucia It could be a clue, or it could be a trap to stall me... 1
21 21 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Lucia Once upon a time, an evil king was all by himself. He had the elixir of life, but he never shared it with anyone.
22 22 301 In the faded memory, Luna is sitting in Lucia's arms and listening to her reading a story from a magazine she found. 1
23 23 301 Lucia And war broke out one day. A lot of people died.
24 24 301 Lucia He went to his people and shouted, "I can share my elixir of life with you."
25 25 301 Lucia holds on to Luna's hand as she reads the book, rubbing the back of her hand.
26 26 301 Lucia Some people said no because they didn't believe him, but some said yes because they were desperate.
27 27 301 Lucia But most of the people who drank the elixir died. Those who survived had scales and horns growing out of their body. They looked like the evil king now.
28 28 301 Lucia People were angry, thinking they'd been tricked. They stopped fighting amongst themselves and tried to fight the evil king and those who'd turned into monsters.
29 29 301 Luna Why did they try to fight those who'd turned into monsters?
30 30 301 Lucia Because those people became immortal monsters. The humans were afraid that they wouldn't be able to fight the monsters if they ever got bullied by them.
31 31 301 Luna Why didn't the humans just drink the elixir themselves?
32 32 301 Lucia Because they were afraid that the elixir would either kill them or turn them into monsters.
33 33 301 Luna ...So what happened next?
34 34 301 Lucia The leader of the humans caught one of the monsters. "If you can poison the evil king's drink and kill him, I shall reward you properly," the leader politely said to the monster.
35 35 301 Lucia The monster happily agreed. After the monster passed the poisoned drink to the lonely king, he drank it all with a smile on his face, because it'd been so long since he last spent time with anyone.
36 36 301 Lucia picks up the blanket on the floor and covers Luna with it.
37 37 301 Luna Did the evil king die?
38 38 301 Lucia He did, and the humans captured all the monsters. The world was all peaceful again with just humans in it. How wonderful.
39 39 301 Luna But how is it wonderful? Wasn't it the humans who started the war? If they hadn't, the evil king wouldn't have decided to hand out his elixir.
40 40 301 Lucia That's true, but that's how it goes in the story.
41 41 301 Luna Poor evil king...
42 42 301 Lucia Why? A lot of people died because of his elixir!
43 43 301 Luna But he only handed out his elixir because the war had killed a lot of people, no?
44 44 301 Luna Should he just sit around and hope the world would get better?
45 45 301 Lucia puts down the magazine. She pats Luna on the back as she thinks about Luna's question.
46 46 301 Lucia But that's still not a good reason for the evil king to go around handing out his evil elixir. There has to be a different solution!
47 47 301 Luna Like what?
48 48 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Lucia ...I don't know, but there has to be!
