角色故事•四(解鎖條件:角色等級80) 「也許…這就是在奧赫瑪度過的最後一天了……」
在苦旅的盡頭,她終於尋到冥界的線索,前往那或許有來無回的地方之前,她還想再好好看一眼世界。
那是黃金裔的浴池。
她記得阿格萊雅曾在氤氳的水汽中,將精心修補的手套送給她。
「蝶,和第一次見面相比,你變了許多呢。」
她驚喜地觸摸着手套上美麗的花紋,那平日淡漠的領袖微笑着向她眨了眨眼。
「即使是如今的我,也能看到你那被寒冷包裹着的、熾熱的心……」
那是屋後靜謐的花園,它已被塑造成了她夢中的模樣。
在那時空錯亂的夢中,她常常遇到另一個自己,她們一同在花園中耕作,培育,直到荒蕪的土地變為盛大的花海。
「但願在未來,我也能如此播種希望……」
那是她為曾在指尖逝去的生命立下的紀念碑。
從哀地里亞的逝者,到逐火之旅的黃金裔…千年以來,她嘗試記住每一個人的名字和過去。
「有人記着,就不算真正的逝去。」
那是她初見開拓者的地方。
相遇是一件多麼神奇的事,她想,往日見慣的街道,因為人而有了特別的意義。
「閣下,我一定會用我的雙手,為你帶來……」
門扉時將近,約定啟程的時刻也將到來。
在那熱烈的陽光下,她許下最初的、也是最後的心願:以那寒冷而漫長的一生作為開端,她將與她/他一同寫下——
一首以真正的擁抱作為句點的、名為「遐蝶」的詩篇。

"Maybe... this will be my last day in Okhema." At the end of a bitter journey, she finally found the clues about the nether realm. Before she headed to the place of no return, she wanted to look carefully at the world again.
That was the Chrysos Heir's bath. She remembered how Aglaea once, in the thick steam, gave her a pair of gloves that she had carefully fixed. "Cas, you've changed quite a lot, compared to the first time we met." She touched the beautiful patterns on the gloves in surprise, and the usually indifferent leader smiled as she winked at her. "Even the present me can see your scorching heart beneath the frigid cold..."
That was the serene garden behind the house, shaped like how it looked in her dreams. In that chaotic dream, she often met her other self. They tilled and nurtured the garden together, until the barren soil transformed into a lush ocean of flowers. "I wish that I can still sow seeds of hope like this in the future." That was the monument she erected for the lives once lost at her fingertips. From the deceased in Aidonia, to the Chrysos Heirs in the Flame-Chase Journey... Over a thousand years, she tried to remember everyone's name and past. "If someone still remembers, they are not truly dead."
That was where she first met Trailblazer. Encounters are such miraculous things, she thought. The streets that she was so familiar with in the past had gained a special meaning because of someone else. "My lady, with my own hands, I will definitely bring you..."
As the Entry Hour draws near, the time for the promised departure is also nigh. Under the blazing sunlight, she made her first and last wish: With the freezing and arduous life as a beginning, she will write with (him/her)—
A poem titled "Castorice," which ends with a true embrace.

角色故事·其一 (解鎖條件:角色等級20) 「可以把翅膀慢慢打開,對…就像我們上次做的那樣,配合醫生一起深呼吸哦!」 「放鬆一點,沒問題的…嗯,翼展變寬啦,你在很努力地吃飯,對不對?」 毛茸茸的腦袋被燭光襯得暖烘烘的,女孩抱起小馬,輕輕地放在體重秤上。
「放心吧,很快你就能和其他翼獸長得一樣又高又壯的,嗯?」 戴上聽診器,女孩開始各項檢查,她觸碰到小馬肋下新的「傷口」。 「你受傷了?」
她摩挲着小馬的翅膀,小心翼翼地將棉花塞進松落的裂口,又取出針線。 「會有一點疼,但別擔心,我扎針很穩…… 「你又拼命訓練了嗎?是因為有很多人和你說,你的母親,祖母,還有好多厲害的先輩,一個騰飛就能飛到天上,一個衝撞便能撞碎岩石? 「大家期待你會成為如雷霆一樣的英雄,可不管訓練多久,你好像都只能讓他們失望…… 「就好像…你和他們完全不一樣……」
小馬一動不動,黑溜溜的眼珠看着窗外。 劃破天幕的雷鳴仍在遠空迴蕩,那是天空城邦的英雄與他們的翼獸掀起的風暴。 「偷偷告訴你一個秘密…我和你一樣……」
在那孤獨昏暗的病房,養病已久的女孩抱着玩偶,拿着針線,第一百次演練父親教習的醫術——
「但也許…不一樣的光芒,也有它存在的意義……」

"Slowly spread your wings... yes, just like we did last time. Breathe deeply together with the doctor, okay?" "Relax a little. It's all fine... hmm, your wingspan has grown! You've been eating well, haven't you?" The candlelight cast a warm glow on the fluffy little head as the girl picked up the pony and gently placed it on the scale.
"Don't worry. Soon you'll be just as tall and strong as the other winged beasts, okay?" Putting on the stethoscope, the girl began her examination. As she touched the pony's side, she felt a new "wound" beneath its ribs. "You're hurt?"
She gently stroked the pony's wings, carefully stuffing cotton into the loosened crack before taking out a needle and thread. "It'll hurt a little, but don't worry, my stitches are steady..." "You've been training too hard again, haven't you? Because so many people keep telling you about your mother, your grandmother, and all the great ancestors? How they could soar into the sky with a single leap, and how they could shatter rock with a single charge?" "Everyone expects you to become a hero like thunder itself, but no matter how much you train, it feels like you only let them down..." "Like you're completely different from them..."
The pony remained still, its dark, glossy eyes gazing out the window. The thunder that tore through the sky still echoed in the distance, a storm stirred by the heroes of the sky city and their winged beasts. "Let me tell you a secret... I'm just like you..."
In that lonely, dimly lit ward, the girl, bedridden for so long, clutched her doll and needle, practising for the hundredth time the medical techniques her father had taught her.
"But maybe... a different kind of light has its own meaning too..."

角色故事·其二 (解鎖條件:角色等級40) 同其他醫者一樣,女孩許下治癒所有人的願望。 她想撫慰世界傾覆下凡人的慘痛,可當黑潮將城邦吞沒,瘟疫包圍重傷的人群,她只能驅散疫病,而無法停止絕望的蔓延。 「或許,一名好的醫師,需要的遠不止靈驗的藥草……」
「乳色的窗簾要能透光,床要軟硬適中,床頭擺好新鮮的花束…這樣在房間裏也能看到和外面一樣的『色彩』……」 她想為末世中的人們帶來希望,一縷從未來照入的光。
於是伴着安神的香薰,一位彌留之際的少女在溫暖舒適的房間中喃喃自語,塵封許久的記憶慢慢復甦。 「爸爸送我八音盒的那天,外面也下着淅淅瀝瀝的小雨。我聽着叮叮噹噹的旋律,在滴滴答答的雨聲中度過了最美好的生日…… 「我還記得,白玫瑰開滿了街道,颳風的時候,就像在下一場香氣撲鼻的大雪…… 「還有那片天空,越來越深的藍色中落着一點橙紅…」她回憶着,「然後那些透明的泡泡環繞着我,就像…… 就像現在一樣……」
滴答,滴答—— 時針在回憶中走動,敘說的聲音逐漸低弱。 那流動不息的雨聲中,只餘一聲滿足的嘆息。
「嘟嘟……」小伊卡低垂着頭,懊喪地趴在小馬玩偶旁。 「小伊卡,聽到了嘛…她看到了我們創造的天空呢……」 房間的天花板上,夕陽落入海中。
她握着少女逐漸冰冷的手,晶瑩的眼淚滑過臉龐。 「以後,我們一定能把它變得更寬廣,更溫暖……」 「嘟!」

Like all healers, the girl made a vow to cure everyone. She wished to soothe the suffering of mortals as the world collapsed, but when the black tide swallowed city-states and plague surrounded the wounded, she could only drive away disease — she could not stop despair from spreading. "Perhaps, to be a good physician, one needs far more than just effective medicine..."
"Milky-white curtains should let in the light, the bed should be firm yet soft, and fresh flowers should be placed by the bedside... that way, even inside the room, they can see the same 'colors' as outside..." She wanted to bring hope to those in the final days, a ray of light shining in from the future.
Accompanied by the soothing scent of incense, a girl on the verge of passing murmured in the warmth and comfort of the room, as long-sealed memories slowly resurfaced. "The day my father gave me a music box, it was also drizzling outside. I listened to the chimes of its melody, spending the most wonderful birthday amidst the pitter-patter of the rain... "I still remember how white roses bloomed all along the streets, and when the wind blew, it was like a snowfall filled with fragrance... "And that sky, a deepening blue with a touch of orange-red falling within it," she reminisced, "and then those transparent bubbles surrounded me, just like... just like they are now..."
Tick-tock, tick-tock... The clock hands moved through memories as the voice telling them grew weaker. In the ever-flowing sound of rain, only a single sigh of content remained.
"Du du..."Little Ica lowered its head, dejectedly curling up beside the plush pony. "Little Ica, did you hear that... She saw the sky we created..." On the ceiling of the room, the setting sun sank into the sea.
She held the girl's gradually cooling hand, crystal-clear tears slipping down her face. "One day, we'll make it even wider, even warmer..." "Du!"

角色故事·其三 (解鎖條件:角色等級60) 奧赫瑪,英雄匯聚之地,末世最後的希望所在。 「逐火之旅」,「火種」,「泰坦」…即便已熟悉那些酷烈灼熱的名詞,當別人稱她為英雄時,她仍是揮揮手。 「我只是一名醫師而已。」 她對每個來到庭院的人都那麼說。
悲傷的少女來詢問那被死亡之泰坦波及的「頑疾」。 「蝶寶,那才不是病呢!你還有很多事可以嘗試!」 她常常和少女一同觀鳥觀星,製作標本和奇美拉玩偶。看到少女臉上的笑容,她也會感到溫暖。
她知曉冷冽的織者和高傲的學者之間的不和。 在那嶄新的調解室,她為織者準備了最愛的燕麥粥,學者批改論文時必備的氣泡山葵醋,並請來資歷最老的半神—— 「如果他們不來,我就…派小伊卡天天在他們耳邊嘟嘟嘟!」
她在昏光庭院播下石榴的種子,種下一方麥草,開闢一片花海,讓每一位從遠方來到奧赫瑪的異鄉人,都能在此放下心結,暢所欲言。 「希望點滴的善意,能消融族群之間長久的心病。」
她總放心不下那不斷磨損的半神。 「小風堇…踏上逐火之旅的第一天,*我們*就已經想到這一天啦……」 她們總是如此說。 「即便能為你們減少一絲痛苦也好…我再去樹庭的圖書館查查資料吧……」 她也總是如此做。 ……
天空的後裔,懸鋒的族人,奧赫瑪的原貴族,哀地里亞的聖女,哀麗秘榭的戰士,雅努薩波利斯的聖女…小小的庭院中,各色融匯成一道虹光。 但閒暇的片刻,她也會想到旅途的盡頭。 「到那時候,我…還能做些什麼呢?」

Okhema, the gathering place of heroes, the last hope in the end times. "The Flame-Chase Journey," "The Coreflame," "The Titans"... Even though she had long grown familiar with these fierce and burning names, when others called her a hero, she would simply wave it off. "I'm just a physician." That was what she told everyone who came to the courtyard.
The sorrowful girl came seeking answers about the "incurable ailment" inflicted by the Death Titan. "Cassie, that's not an illness at all! There's still so much for you to experience!" She often accompanied the girl in birdwatching and stargazing, crafting specimens and chimera plush toys. Seeing the smile on the girl's face, she, too, felt warmth.
She was well aware of the discord between the cold weaver and the proud scholar. In the newly established mediation room, she prepared the weaver's favorite oatmeal, the scholar's essential fizzy horseradish vinegar for grading papers, and invited the eldest demigod. "If they refuse to come, then... I'll have Little Ica du-du-du in their ears every single day!"
She sowed pomegranate seeds in the Twilight Courtyard, planted a field of wheatgrass, and cultivated a sea of flowers, creating a place where every traveler arriving in Okhema could set down their burdens and speak freely. "I hope that small acts of kindness can melt away the long-standing wounds between our peoples."
She could never stop worrying about that ever-corroding demigod. "Cinny... From the very first day we set out on the Flame-Chase Journey, we already knew this day would come..." That was what they always said. "Even if I can ease just a fraction of your pain... I'll go check the library in the Grove again..." And that was what she always did. ...
The Heirs of the Sky, the Kremnoans, the original aristocrats of Okhema, the Holy Maiden of Aidonia, the warrior of Aedes Elysiae, the Holy Maiden of Janusopolis... In the small courtyard, all their colors merged into a radiant rainbow. Yet in rare moments of leisure, she would also ponder the journey's end. "When that time comes... what else will I be able to do?"

角色故事·其四 (解鎖條件:角色等級80) 「『光歷████年,機緣月』風堇醫師 展信佳。雖然當年姐姐沒能挺過來,但姐姐最後在庭院度過的時光…她臨走前的微笑一直溫暖着我的夢境。我想跟您說,今天我也正式成了一名醫師,我想像您一樣,去幫助那些在末世中煎熬的人們,希望在這長夜中,我也能成為一盞小小的燈……」
「『光歷████年,門關月』堇寶 …真的很感謝你這段時間的陪伴。當我蜷縮在昏光庭院治療室的時候,你允許我的悲傷像積雨一樣堆積又蒸發,當我說自己『天氣不好』時,你又完整地包容了我…或許,我也應該更勇敢一點……」
「『光歷████年,自由月』風堇女士 小傢伙們都恢復得很好,特別是那位上次吵着要喝石榴汁的奧赫瑪小戰士。城邦間的宿仇很難很快消除,但我現在相信,不同的色彩也能共存。」
「『光歷████年,長夜月』風堇助教 感謝你執着的提醒,我會考慮和她緩和關係。當然,完全是看在你的面子上……」
「『光歷████年,哀悼月』風堇小姐 不必費心為我寄來新的藥劑了,我自知人性的流失已無法挽回。你也不必擔心,我們與樹庭的關係並非降至冰點……」
「『光歷████年,歡喜月』風堇女士 我從來沒有想過,家鄉的麥種能有一天重新發芽。躺在昏光庭院的花園,又像是回到了哀麗秘榭一樣。每次心情低落的時候,聞聞這裏的麥香,我就又有幹勁了!」
「『光歷████年,長晝月』小風堇 人們總稱讚以前包容烈陽與驚雷的天空,*我們*卻覺得你比那樣的天空更溫柔。無論*我們*明天將去向何處,*我們*一定會永遠、永遠記得你!」
從滿溢的箱中露出的幾封信件,被珍藏在診療記錄冊旁。 在旅程之初,女孩微弱的光似乎旋即會被黑暗吞沒,然而在啟程成為明日的天空前——
在她走過的地方,晴空早已不知不覺綻開了第一縷笑顏。

"'Light Calendar ████, Month of Fortune' To Physician Hyacine I hope this letter finds you well. Although my sister couldn't make it back then, the last days she spent in the courtyard... and the smile she gave before she left... have always warmed my dreams. I wanted to tell you that today, I have officially become a physician. I want to be like you, to help those who suffer in the final days. I hope that in this long night, I too can become a small, guiding light..."
"'Light Calendar ████, Month of Gate' To Little Cinny ...I'm truly grateful for your companionship during this time. When I was curled up in the Twilight Courtyard's infirmary, you allowed my sorrow to pile up like storm clouds and then evaporate. When I said my 'weather was bad,' you embraced me completely... Perhaps, I should try to be a little braver too..."
"'Light Calendar ████, Month of Freedom' To Lady Hyacine The little ones have all recovered well, especially that young Okheman warrior who was fussing about wanting pomegranate juice last time. The feuds between city-states are not easy to dissolve quickly, but now I believe that different colors can coexist."
"'Light Calendar ████, Month of Evernight' To Assistant Instructor Hyacine Thank you for your persistent reminders. I will consider mending my relationship with her. Of course, this is only for your sake..."
"'Light Calendar ████, Month of Mourning' To Miss Hyacine There is no need to trouble yourself by sending me new medicine. I am well aware that the loss of my humanity is beyond recovery. And you need not worry, our relationship with the Grove has not reached a breaking point..."
"'Light Calendar ████, Month of Joy' To Lady Hyacine I never thought that the wheat seeds from my homeland would sprout again one day. Lying in the garden of the Twilight Courtyard, it almost feels like being back in Aedes Elysiae. Whenever I feel down, the scent of wheat here gives me the strength to keep going!"
"'Light Calendar ████, Month of Everday' To Cinny People always praise the sky of the past for embracing both blazing suns and roaring thunder, but we think you are even gentler than that sky. No matter where we go tomorrow, we will always, always remember you!"
A few letters spilling out from an overflowing box were carefully preserved beside the medical records. At the beginning of her journey, the girl's faint light seemed as though it would be swallowed by the darkness at any moment. Yet, before she set forth to become the sky of tomorrow...
In the places she passed through, the clear sky had already unknowingly unfolded its first gentle smile.
