「致各邦司鐸、主祭、輔祭，全世之座照耀下的信徒，以及一切有知的生靈：

自大司鐸逝世以來，全世寶石不知所蹤。
經排查，現場並無任何破壞的痕跡。寶石失竊後，曾有數人報告，目睹其流入黑市後被換成巨額的利衡幣。
凡提供有效線索者，可得五千利衡幣。緝拿罪犯者，可得十萬利衡幣。」

——元老院泛黃的告示
「難得回來一次，過了這麼久，還沒撕掉啊……」

她記得告示貼出的那一天，那個不得不告別的剎那。
她不敢看織者的眼，只能匆匆轉身從奧赫瑪逃離。

數百年後，新的英雄自翁法羅斯各地而來。她戴着兜帽，遠遠看着舊日的集市，認識的人卻已沒了幾個。
「酸瓜糖出新口味了？」
將包裝紙團成團，她隨意彈向花叢的方向。
「玻璃彈珠，好久沒玩了！」
她掂量着彈珠，比劃着朝水中擲去。
……
片刻之後，花叢中，水中，樹上…刺客裝扮的人紛紛掉落——
在更遠的前方，是那凱旋而歸，沐浴光芒的年輕英雄。

她藏在陰影中看着，直到身旁的金線顫動。
「裁縫女，過了這麼久，你的金線還是那麼靈敏吶。不想被你抓住，該走嘍！」

她伸了個懶腰，微微蹲下，那吹來的風帶着荒野的氣息——

金色的閃電又一次自奧赫瑪飛向永夜。
在那呼嘯的風中，她仿佛回到了小時候一場又一場以生命為賭注的奔跑。
「奔跑吧，賽法利婭……
只有你知道，你的終點在何方……
終有一日，你能夠奔向那個輝煌的未來……」

電光劃破黑夜的一瞬間，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.

陽光穿透進來時，大海的呼吸會變得五彩斑斕，這是海妖們一天中最為歡悅的時刻。
「♫啪嗒♫」「♫皮咔♫」「♫波砰♫」
海妖的公主雀躍地追逐着泡泡，她最喜歡它們在鼻尖短暫停留然後碎裂的片刻，此時水波會蕩漾出七彩的光。

在那萬頃的珊瑚叢中，海妖們歌唱着，那裏的珠貝熠熠生光，正適合裝點於琴弓之上。
樂音從海列屈拉的指尖流淌，如同和緩的水流，拂過愜意暢飲蜜釀的夥伴。

「♫瞧，那輝煌熱鬧的航船上，人類該有多麼歡暢♫」
「♫你思念救起的那人，他的聲音定然在你心中迴蕩♫」
「♫尊貴的公主，無憂無慮的海列屈拉，你會去向何方？是那北境寒冷的冰海，還是人世的蒼茫？♫」

飲醉了的海妖們圍在她身旁，好奇心就像搖曳的海草纏住她。
「♫塵世嘈雜，極地冰涼……♫」
她輕輕拂過泡泡，微笑着搖頭回答：
「♫我願棲身，在那能歡唱的……♫」

然而警戒的號角很快自深海傳出，終止了歡宴。
海妖們隨海列屈拉游向深處，海洋的女王向子民宣告——

「♫黑色的潮水將污染那清澈的洋流，我們要調動靈水的波濤，將污水涌引入巨杯，直至『紛爭』抵禦黑潮的光芒……♫
「♫海洋的寵兒，你可有心之所向？等到黑潮退盡，去往斯緹科西亞，自有陸上的人們為爾等設宴歌唱！♫」

日復一日，海列屈拉帶領海妖穿梭在那逐漸昏黑的海洋，清洗污濁的暗流。

「♫夥伴們，別放棄，那不醉不歸的輝煌♫
「♫夥伴們，別忘記，我們將要游向遠方♫
「♫夥伴們，向前啊，斑斕的希望正蕩漾♫」

日復一日，海列屈拉歌唱着。身為眷屬，她深知守護這片大海是自己生來的使命——

海列屈拉向深淵游去，那歌聲逐漸化作漆黑深海中，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.

廣袤的珊瑚礁已成一片死地。

第一次將劍刺入黑潮造物的身體時，她的雙手仍會輕輕地顫抖。
第一百次與腐朽的昔日夥伴相向，那暗啞的弦已能毫不費力地割開喉嚨。
第一千次，第一萬次…提琴的珠光零落在海面，而深海已成血色——

在那寂然無聲的宮殿廢墟，只剩海列屈拉與她一個人的歡宴。

「♫陸地上的人們吶，會舉辦永不散場的歡宴，將我們的犧牲獎賞……♫」
哀婉的歌聲迴蕩，當「紛爭」的泰坦接過抵禦黑潮的使命，欣喜的海列屈拉第一次踏出昏黑的海水。

她用珠貝妝點面容，她的尾鰭變為雙腿，身上的泡沫化作盛裝。波瀾不再在她的頭頂怒吼，而是在腳下呻吟。
海鳥圍繞着大海盤旋，聲聲悽厲。波濤息止了一瞬，又再次滾滾而逝去。
就像是泡影破裂之後，什麼都不曾存在過一樣。
她忍受着每一步錐心刺骨的疼痛，前往應許的斯緹科西亞——

這片大地有刺鼻的空氣，堆積如山的屍骨，紛爭與戰火…卻唯獨沒有那場神明許諾的歡宴之地。

「我……海……瑟……」
在那污濁的空氣中，她的聲音喑啞。
她學習人類的話語，但那些喧囂的字眼讓她無法再如歌般吟唱。她逐漸學會以沉默代替言語。
「一柄不會鏽蝕的刀劍」，「一曲冷酷的琴音」…終日與她相伴的，是刺穿肌體的彈響，是生命灑血的悲鳴——

他們說，那來自海洋的劍士明明極善演奏，卻緘默疏離，從不言明心跡。
她看見向自己伸來的許多雙手，有些意圖將她抹殺，有些則聲稱會為她提供援助，它們曾點燃一盞盞燈火，然後一盞盞熄滅。

「海瑟音，你在往何處去？」

她無法回答。
舊日的琴已化為兩把利劍，唯有鋒利的輓歌流淌弦上。
即便渴望有一日會有人聽懂其中嚮往，但她逐漸意識到人世也與寂寞的深海無異。
每個人都像是迷失的魚兒，每個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，追隨我，我會賜予你所求的一切。」
她對那從嬌小身軀里發出的響亮聲音印象深刻，卻仍心有懷疑：
「她…又會在什麼時候熄滅呢？」

然而這簇燈火像射入深海的天光，愈燃愈烈，持久不熄。
人們見藍色的烈焰征戰無數，次次凱旋，見巨浪如火燎原，見那捲起風浪的劍旗，也化作鯨鯊將腥風血雨盡數吞咽。
她聽到熾烈的心跳，激昂的戰鼓，雨點般的腳步，潮湧般的悲傷…純粹如歌的心聲自黃金裔的血中流淌，也同樣撥動她塵封已久的心弦。

凱撒應許的盛宴在即，年輕的織者與孩童附耳私語，不知那淡漠的劍旗是否願撥冗出席。
在眾人的驚呼聲中，織者踮起腳尖，屏住呼吸，想要將這一刻盡收眼底。
她鎏金的裙襬掠過地磚的光色，竟如陽光下的浪花般晶瑩剔透。
火燭銀花下，人們再次看見了大海的光暈。

「她應下我的心願，為我們歌唱世界早已遺失的海灣。」
君王的話語落下，樂池亮起，燈光與人影在她眼前盪成海的漣漪。
樂聲乘着杯盞中搖曳的泡影，人海中，她發現自己的聲音不再空有迴響。

拉比努斯和塞涅卡的比斗是清脆的鼓點，維吉妮婭暗藏心意的詩句是律動的詞。
緹里西庇俄絲笑了，於是樂曲有了輕靈的復調，阿格萊雅的舞步揚起，那是最優美動人的和音……

「此戰勝利之後，劍旗爵，你可有想要之物？」
那冷靜的君主竟也有些微醺。
她飲下蜜釀，向君主私語，笑聲飛翔在宴會的角落。
這裏多麼悅耳，多麼光亮。
世界旋轉着，酒杯相撞的聲音，冰塊滑動的聲音。
久未開口的海妖，她的歌聲仍如蜜釀潑灑——

「♫宴席的燭火如此耀眼
一片新的大海
它搖盪在我們舉杯碰撞間……♫」

"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... ♫"

她曾以為，「逐火」便是她尋找的、永不散席的盛宴。
可在那不斷失卻的旅途中，光芒也終如泡沫般碎裂。

她是凱撒的鋒刃，她的劍尖總是蜿蜒流淌鮮血。
可當凱撒滾燙的金血滴落在她的指尖，恍惚之間，她又墜落回那孤獨的深海。
「呵，為什麼…我為之游動的火，由我親手熄滅……」
在那痛苦的千年迷醉中，她逃避着那迷離光彩的泡沫，但那些已然片片碎裂的過往如今卻像海草纏繞不休。

「啪嗒……」
棋子落下。執棋的君王神意自若，可王冠上時而平靜時而濃烈的光焰卻透露出她真實的情緒。
「我不懂如何下棋。」
「來，我教你。」
她不太熟練地拿起棋子。不過是又一場廝殺而已，她想。

「啪嗒……」
那陡然亢奮的藍色火焰使她的身邊如熱泉般溫暖。她隨意移動着棋子，問道：
「既然終要從棋局上消失，為何它們要不停前進？」

「啪嗒……」
君主啜飲杯中蜜釀，滿足地伸展着雙臂，又暢然地喟嘆着：
「前進本身，不已經足夠快意？」
……

千年的等待，她為逐火開闢新的天地，可也知曉那也並非最終的歸宿。
「魚兒需要的，終究只是一片棲身的海……」
在君主留下的一頁記憶中，她走向清澈的海水。

♫啪嗒♫，♫皮咔♫，♫波砰♫…五顏六色的泡沫倒影過往歲月，凝結碎裂，碎裂凝結。
「海洋的寵兒，你可有什麼心願想要實現？」
「海瑟音，你在往何處去？」
「劍旗爵，你可有想要之物？」
……
故鄉，歡宴，逐火…它們都曾在她的生命中閃耀，然後迅速化為泡影…只剩下一聲嘆息迴蕩天際。
從始至終，這便是她擁有的全部——在人世與大海中，都是泡沫破碎的痕跡。

「可它們…多麼美麗……」

「♫……♫」
「♫……♫」
「♫……♫」

翁法羅斯的黎明將要升起。
在最後的泡沫破碎前，她微笑着，仿佛已唱盡…那已無需言語表達的心聲。

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.
