「致各邦司铎、主祭、辅祭，全世之座照耀下的信徒，以及一切有知的生灵：

自大司铎逝世以来，全世宝石不知所踪。
经排查，现场并无任何破坏的痕迹。宝石失窃后，曾有数人报告，目睹其流入黑市后被换成巨额的利衡币。
凡提供有效线索者，可得五千利衡币。缉拿罪犯者，可得十万利衡币。」

——元老院泛黄的告示
「难得回来一次，过了这么久，还没撕掉啊……」

她记得告示贴出的那一天，那个不得不告别的刹那。
她不敢看织者的眼，只能匆匆转身从奥赫玛逃离。

数百年后，新的英雄自翁法罗斯各地而来。她戴着兜帽，远远看着旧日的集市，认识的人却已没了几个。
「酸瓜糖出新口味了？」
将包装纸团成团，她随意弹向花丛的方向。
「玻璃弹珠，好久没玩了！」
她掂量着弹珠，比划着朝水中掷去。
……
片刻之后，花丛中，水中，树上…刺客装扮的人纷纷掉落——
在更远的前方，是那凯旋而归，沐浴光芒的年轻英雄。

她藏在阴影中看着，直到身旁的金线颤动。
「裁缝女，过了这么久，你的金线还是那么灵敏呐。不想被你抓住，该走喽！」

她伸了个懒腰，微微蹲下，那吹来的风带着荒野的气息——

金色的闪电又一次自奥赫玛飞向永夜。
在那呼啸的风中，她仿佛回到了小时候一场又一场以生命为赌注的奔跑。
「奔跑吧，赛法利娅……
只有你知道，你的终点在何方……
终有一日，你能够奔向那个辉煌的未来……」

电光划破黑夜的一瞬间，世界似乎都已被她照亮。

"To all priests, high priests, and acolytes of the city-states, to the faithful beneath the radiance of the Throne of Worlds, and to all sentient beings:

Since the passing of our High Priest, the Gem of All Worlds has gone missing.
Upon investigation, no signs of forced entry or damage were found at the scene. After its theft, multiple reports claim to have seen the gem enter the black market, where it was exchanged for a vast sum of Balance Coins.
Anyone providing useful information will receive a reward of 5,000 Balance Coins. The one who captures the culprit will receive a reward of 100,000 Balance Coins."

— A faded, yellowing proclamation from the Council of Elders.

"Wow, all this time, and this thing's still up...?"

She remembered the day the bounty was posted, the moment she had no choice but to say goodbye.
She couldn't meet the weaver's eyes and could only turn away, hastily turning tail and fleeing Okhema.

Centuries later, new heroes flocked here from across Amphoreus. Her hood drawn low, she gazed at the old marketplace from afar, but few familiar faces remained.
"A new flavor of pickled candies?"
Crumpling the wrapper, she casually flicked it toward the flowerbed.
"Glass marbles! Haven't played with these in ages!"
She weighed one in her hand, aiming as she mimed tossing it into the water.
...
Moments later, figures dressed as assassins tumbled down one after another from the flowerbed, the water, the trees—
And yet farther ahead, the young hero stood bathed in light, returning in triumph.

She watched from the shadows until the golden thread beside her trembled.
"Seamstress, all these years, and your golden threads are sharp as ever. If I don't wanna get caught, I'd better get going!"

She stretched lazily, crouching slightly as the wind swept past, heavy with the scent of the wilds.

Once more, a golden streak of lightning tore from Okhema toward the eternal night.
In the howling wind, she felt as if she had returned to her childhood, to those countless races where her life itself was on the line.
"Run, Cifera...
Only you know where your path ends...
And one day, you'll be able to sprint into that splendid future..."

In the instant the lightning split the night, it was as if she had already illuminated the entire world.

阳光穿透进来时，大海的呼吸会变得五彩斑斓，这是海妖们一天中最为欢悦的时刻。
「♫啪嗒♫」「♫皮咔♫」「♫波砰♫」
海妖的公主雀跃地追逐着泡泡，她最喜欢它们在鼻尖短暂停留然后碎裂的片刻，此时水波会荡漾出七彩的光。

在那万顷的珊瑚丛中，海妖们歌唱着，那里的珠贝熠熠生光，正适合装点于琴弓之上。
乐音从海列屈拉的指尖流淌，如同和缓的水流，拂过惬意畅饮蜜酿的伙伴。

「♫瞧，那辉煌热闹的航船上，人类该有多么欢畅♫」
「♫你思念救起的那人，他的声音定然在你心中回荡♫」
「♫尊贵的公主，无忧无虑的海列屈拉，你会去向何方？是那北境寒冷的冰海，还是人世的苍茫？♫」

饮醉了的海妖们围在她身旁，好奇心就像摇曳的海草缠住她。
「♫尘世嘈杂，极地冰凉……♫」
她轻轻拂过泡泡，微笑着摇头回答：
「♫我愿栖身，在那能欢唱的……♫」

然而警戒的号角很快自深海传出，终止了欢宴。
海妖们随海列屈拉游向深处，海洋的女王向子民宣告——

「♫黑色的潮水将污染那清澈的洋流，我们要调动灵水的波涛，将污水涌引入巨杯，直至『纷争』抵御黑潮的光芒……♫
「♫海洋的宠儿，你可有心之所向？等到黑潮退尽，去往斯缇科西亚，自有陆上的人们为尔等设宴歌唱！♫」

日复一日，海列屈拉带领海妖穿梭在那逐渐昏黑的海洋，清洗污浊的暗流。

「♫伙伴们，别放弃，那不醉不归的辉煌♫
「♫伙伴们，别忘记，我们将要游向远方♫
「♫伙伴们，向前啊，斑斓的希望正荡漾♫」

日复一日，海列屈拉歌唱着。身为眷属，她深知守护这片大海是自己生来的使命——

海列屈拉向深渊游去，那歌声逐渐化作漆黑深海中，唯一的一束光。

When sunlight filtered down through the surface, the sea's breath shimmered with a kaleidoscope of colors. That was the merriest time of day for the sirens.
"♫ Plop ♫" "♫ Pika ♫" "♫ Bo-pom ♫"
The siren princess chased bubbles in delight. Her favorite moment was when one paused on her nose, just before it popped and rippled a burst of color across the water.

Amid coral stretching for miles, the sea sirens sang. The pearls there sparkled like stars, perfect ornaments for a bowstring.
Music flowed from Helektra's fingers like a gentle current, brushing past companions basking in the joy of honey brew.

"♫ Look, on that bright and bustling ship, how happy the humans must be. ♫"
"♫ You long for the one you saved as his voice still echoes in your soul. ♫"
"♫ Noble princess, carefree Helektra, where will you go? To the frigid northern sea, or the boundless world of men? ♫"

The drunken sirens gathered around her, curiosity swaying and curling like seaweed.
"♫ The world above is loud, the pole too cold... ♫"
She brushed a bubble and shook her head with a smile:
"♫ I'll stay where songs still carry... ♫"

But soon, a horn of warning echoed from the deep, cutting the revelry short.
The sirens followed Helektra into the depths, as the Queen of the Ocean addressed her people...

"♫ Dark tides will taint our crystal currents, so we shall summon the sacred waves, draw the filth into the Grand Chalice, until Strife shines back against the black tide... ♫"
"♫ Children of the sea, have you chosen your course? When the black tide recedes, go to Styxia. There, people on the land will raise their glasses in your honor! ♫"

Day after day, Helektra led the sirens through the darkening sea, washing away the corrupted undercurrents.

"♫ Don't give up, my friends, not until we've drowned ourselves in triumph. ♫"
"♫ Don't forget, my friends, we'll swim toward the distant place. ♫"
"♫ Onward, my friends, vibrant hope is stirring the air. ♫"

And day after day, Helektra sang. As a Titankin, she knew guarding these waters was the fate written into her very soul...

Helektra dove into the abyss, her song fading until it became the lone light left in the dark ocean.

广袤的珊瑚礁已成一片死地。

第一次将剑刺入黑潮造物的身体时，她的双手仍会轻轻地颤抖。
第一百次与腐朽的昔日伙伴相向，那暗哑的弦已能毫不费力地割开喉咙。
第一千次，第一万次…提琴的珠光零落在海面，而深海已成血色——

在那寂然无声的宫殿废墟，只剩海列屈拉与她一个人的欢宴。

「♫陆地上的人们呐，会举办永不散场的欢宴，将我们的牺牲奖赏……♫」
哀婉的歌声回荡，当「纷争」的泰坦接过抵御黑潮的使命，欣喜的海列屈拉第一次踏出昏黑的海水。

她用珠贝妆点面容，她的尾鳍变为双腿，身上的泡沫化作盛装。波澜不再在她的头顶怒吼，而是在脚下呻吟。
海鸟围绕着大海盘旋，声声凄厉。波涛息止了一瞬，又再次滚滚而逝去。
就像是泡影破裂之后，什么都不曾存在过一样。
她忍受着每一步锥心刺骨的疼痛，前往应许的斯缇科西亚——

这片大地有刺鼻的空气，堆积如山的尸骨，纷争与战火…却唯独没有那场神明许诺的欢宴之地。

「我……海……瑟……」
在那污浊的空气中，她的声音喑哑。
她学习人类的话语，但那些喧嚣的字眼让她无法再如歌般吟唱。她逐渐学会以沉默代替言语。
「一柄不会锈蚀的刀剑」，「一曲冷酷的琴音」…终日与她相伴的，是刺穿肌体的弹响，是生命洒血的悲鸣——

他们说，那来自海洋的剑士明明极善演奏，却缄默疏离，从不言明心迹。
她看见向自己伸来的许多双手，有些意图将她抹杀，有些则声称会为她提供援助，它们曾点燃一盏盏灯火，然后一盏盏熄灭。

「海瑟音，你在往何处去？」

她无法回答。
旧日的琴已化为两把利剑，唯有锋利的挽歌流淌弦上。
即便渴望有一日会有人听懂其中向往，但她逐渐意识到人世也与寂寞的深海无异。
每个人都像是迷失的鱼儿，每个人都在盲目地朝着光芒游去。

The once-lush coral reef had become a graveyard of lifeless stone.

The first time she drove her blade into the Black Tide Creature, her hands trembled ever so slightly.
The hundredth time she faced a corrupted former friend, her dull strings could slice through flesh without hesitation.
The thousandth, the ten thousandth... Pearls from her instrument scattered over the sea, and the deep water had turned to blood...

In the silent ruins of that forgotten palace, only Helektra remained at her solitary feast.

"♫ The people on the land will throw feasts that never end, to honor our sacrifice... ♫"
The mournful song echoed through the sea as the Titan of Strife took up the fight against black tide. And for the first time, Helektra rose from the dark waters with joy in her heart.

She adorned her face with pearls. Her tail split into legs. The seafoam on her body became a gown. The crashing tide no longer roared over her head, but whimpered beneath her feet.
Seabirds cried overhead in chilling tones. The waves stilled for a moment, then rolled away again.
As if the dream had popped like a bubble and never truly existed.
She bore each step toward the Promised Land of Styxia with searing pain, like walking on knives...

The land reeked of pungent air as corpses piled high. Conflict and fire ravaged every corner... But the feast promised by the gods was nowhere to be found.

"I... Hy...si..."
Her voice rasped in the polluted air.
She had tried to learn the language of humans, but their noisy, jagged words made it impossible to sing as she once did. So, she slowly chose silence over speech.
"A blade that would never rust," "A melody of cruelty"... What accompanied her day after day were the twangs that pierced flesh, and the cries of lives bleeding out...

They said the swordmaster from the sea could play like no other, yet she stayed distant and mute, never revealing what lay in her heart.
She had seen many hands reach out to her. Some sought to erase her, others offered help. They had lit one flame after another, only to let each flicker out.

"Hysilens, where are you headed?"

She couldn't answer.
Her old instrument had long become two blades, with only sharp requiems now echoing from the strings.
She had once wished someone might understand the longing within her song, but came to realize that the human world was no different from the lonely deep sea.
Everyone was just another lost fish, blindly swimming toward the light.

「海瑟音，追随我，我会赐予你所求的一切。」
她对那从娇小身躯里发出的响亮声音印象深刻，却仍心有怀疑：
「她…又会在什么时候熄灭呢？」

然而这簇灯火像射入深海的天光，愈燃愈烈，持久不熄。
人们见蓝色的烈焰征战无数，次次凯旋，见巨浪如火燎原，见那卷起风浪的剑旗，也化作鲸鲨将腥风血雨尽数吞咽。
她听到炽烈的心跳，激昂的战鼓，雨点般的脚步，潮涌般的悲伤…纯粹如歌的心声自黄金裔的血中流淌，也同样拨动她尘封已久的心弦。

凯撒应许的盛宴在即，年轻的织者与孩童附耳私语，不知那淡漠的剑旗是否愿拨冗出席。
在众人的惊呼声中，织者踮起脚尖，屏住呼吸，想要将这一刻尽收眼底。
她鎏金的裙摆掠过地砖的光色，竟如阳光下的浪花般晶莹剔透。
火烛银花下，人们再次看见了大海的光晕。

「她应下我的心愿，为我们歌唱世界早已遗失的海湾。」
君王的话语落下，乐池亮起，灯光与人影在她眼前荡成海的涟漪。
乐声乘着杯盏中摇曳的泡影，人海中，她发现自己的声音不再空有回响。

拉比努斯和塞涅卡的比斗是清脆的鼓点，维吉妮娅暗藏心意的诗句是律动的词。
缇里西庇俄丝笑了，于是乐曲有了轻灵的复调，阿格莱雅的舞步扬起，那是最优美动人的和音……

「此战胜利之后，剑旗爵，你可有想要之物？」
那冷静的君主竟也有些微醺。
她饮下蜜酿，向君主私语，笑声飞翔在宴会的角落。
这里多么悦耳，多么光亮。
世界旋转着，酒杯相撞的声音，冰块滑动的声音。
久未开口的海妖，她的歌声仍如蜜酿泼洒——

「♫宴席的烛火如此耀眼
一片新的大海
它摇荡在我们举杯碰撞间……♫」

"Hysilens, follow me. I will grant you everything you seek."
The voice, loud and clear despite the small frame it came from, left a deep impression. But doubt lingered in her heart:
"And when... will her light go out?"

But this flame burned like sunlight piercing the deep sea, brighter and steadier with every passing moment.
She watched the blue blaze fight battle after battle, always emerging victorious. She saw waves rise like wildfire, saw the Gladius roar through wind and sea, swallowing every storm of carnage like a whale shark.
She heard the thundering heartbeat, the pounding drums of war, the footsteps like falling rain, the sorrow swelling like a tide. The pure, song-like voice of the heart flowed through the blood of the Chrysos Heir, stirring the long-sealed strings in her mind.

The feast Imperator had promised was drawing near. Young weaver whispered to the children at their side, wondering aloud if the cold, distant Gladius would grace them with her presence.
Amidst the crowd's exclamations, the weaver rose on her tiptoes, holding her breath to capture the moment in full.
Her gown, gilded and flowing, brushed the tiles like sunlight glinting on waves.
And under candlelight and silver lanterns, people saw again the shimmer of the sea.

"She answered my wish and sang to us of the sea bays the world had long forgotten."
When the monarch finished speaking, the orchestra lit up. Light and shadows danced before her eyes, rippling like waves.
Music rose with the bubbles in their cups, and in the swell of the crowd, she found her voice was no longer echoing in vain.

The duel between Labienus and Seneca struck like crisp drumbeats. Verginia's hidden meanings pulsed through her verses.
Tribios laughed, and the music gained a playful countermelody. Aglaea leapt into motion, her dance steps weaving the perfect harmony...

"After this battle is won, Dux Gladiorum, is there anything you desire?"
Even the composed monarch seemed slightly tipsy.
She took a sip of honey brew, whispering to the monarch, her laughter dancing in the corner of the banquet.
How bright it was here. How lovely it sounded.
The world spun on, with the clink of glasses, the soft rattle of ice.
The long-silent siren sang again, her voice spilling like the honey brew...

"♫ The candlelight burns so bright at this feast.
A brand-new sea.
It sways between the clinking of our cups... ♫"

她曾以为，「逐火」便是她寻找的、永不散席的盛宴。
可在那不断失却的旅途中，光芒也终如泡沫般碎裂。

她是凯撒的锋刃，她的剑尖总是蜿蜒流淌鲜血。
可当凯撒滚烫的金血滴落在她的指尖，恍惚之间，她又坠落回那孤独的深海。
「呵，为什么…我为之游动的火，由我亲手熄灭……」
在那痛苦的千年迷醉中，她逃避着那迷离光彩的泡沫，但那些已然片片碎裂的过往如今却像海草缠绕不休。

「啪嗒……」
棋子落下。执棋的君王神意自若，可王冠上时而平静时而浓烈的光焰却透露出她真实的情绪。
「我不懂如何下棋。」
「来，我教你。」
她不太熟练地拿起棋子。不过是又一场厮杀而已，她想。

「啪嗒……」
那陡然亢奋的蓝色火焰使她的身边如热泉般温暖。她随意移动着棋子，问道：
「既然终要从棋局上消失，为何它们要不停前进？」

「啪嗒……」
君主啜饮杯中蜜酿，满足地伸展着双臂，又畅然地喟叹着：
「前进本身，不已经足够快意？」
……

千年的等待，她为逐火开辟新的天地，可也知晓那也并非最终的归宿。
「鱼儿需要的，终究只是一片栖身的海……」
在君主留下的一页记忆中，她走向清澈的海水。

♫啪嗒♫，♫皮咔♫，♫波砰♫…五颜六色的泡沫倒影过往岁月，凝结碎裂，碎裂凝结。
「海洋的宠儿，你可有什么心愿想要实现？」
「海瑟音，你在往何处去？」
「剑旗爵，你可有想要之物？」
……
故乡，欢宴，逐火…它们都曾在她的生命中闪耀，然后迅速化为泡影…只剩下一声叹息回荡天际。
从始至终，这便是她拥有的全部——在人世与大海中，都是泡沫破碎的痕迹。

「可它们…多么美丽……」

「♫……♫」
「♫……♫」
「♫……♫」

翁法罗斯的黎明将要升起。
在最后的泡沫破碎前，她微笑着，仿佛已唱尽…那已无需言语表达的心声。

She had once believed the Flame-Chase was the eternal celebration she had always searched for.
But as the journey wore on and more was lost, even that shining light shattered like seafoam.

She had been the Imperator's sharpest blade, her sword always flowing with blood.
But when the Imperator's molten gold blood dripped onto her fingertips, she suddenly felt herself sinking again back into that lonely, silent sea.
"Heh, why... did I snuff out the very flame I swam toward with my own hand..."
For a thousand painful years, she had fled from those dazzling bubbles of memory, but now those long-burst fragments clung to her like swaying seaweed, impossible to shake loose.

"Click."
A chess piece lands on the board. Despite her perfect composure, the sovereign's crown of flames reveals what she won't, dancing between serenity and fierce intensity.
"I never learned how to play."
"Then I'll teach you."
She picks up a piece with unpracticed fingers. Just another battleground, she thinks to herself.

"Click."
Suddenly, vibrant blue flames warm the air around her like hot springs. She moves chess pieces without much thought and asks:
"If they're bound to disappear from the board, why bother moving forward at all?"

"Click."
The sovereign takes a sip of honey brew, stretches her arms with satisfaction, and sighs with pleasure:
"Isn't the journey forward fulfilling enough on its own?"
...

After a millennium of waiting, she forged new paths for the Flame-Chase, though she knew they wouldn't be the final destination.
"What a fish truly needs is simply a sea to call home..."
As a fragment of her memories unfolds, she walks toward clear ocean waters.

♫ Pop ♫, ♫ Fizz ♫, ♫ Splash ♫... Bubbles of every color mirror bygone years, forming and bursting, bursting and forming.
"The ocean's dearest, do you have a wish?"
"Hysilens, where are you headed?"
"Dux Gladiorum, what do you seek?"
...
Homeland, revelry, the Flame-Chase... each once brilliant in her life, yet all quickly fizzing out like transient foam... Only a sigh lingers across the sky.
From the beginning till the end, this was all she had, in both the mortal realm and ocean depths, nothing but the fleeting traces of bubbles.

"But still... how beautiful they are..."

"♫...♫"
"♫...♫"
"♫...♫"

The dawn of Amphoreus approaches.
Before the final bubble bursts, she smiles, as if she has already sung everything her heart had to express beyond words.
