1sᴛ sᴇʀᴀᴘʜɪᴍ [ unintentional video ]

[ Hey, guess who's on the video this time? A certain blonde angel - or someone whom others don't know who is an angel, sitting on his bed, while a self-levitating, strange-looking, purple sword slowly rotates in place, the point of the sword pointing downwards. Mithos glares at it, as if having a silent conversation with it. ]

You really can't take us home, can you?

[ Mithos accuses, while the sword makes no response. Why is he talking to it? Does it even talk back? Who knows. ]

I've been trying all day.

[ Mithos slams a fist onto his bed. ]

I can't stay here.

Then...Why don't you help the other people who want to go home? You'd be able to try more ways like that than you will alone.

It'd mean working with humans and other races though.

If the Eternal Sword can't take us home, nothing can. Even if I wanted to work with inf-... humans, it wouldn't matter.

It's either try or wait for the coral to choose to send us back home. Staying here hasn't been bad, these last...six? months, but if you want to go home...

[Which he obviously does if he's been trying for a day at least to use the sword to get home--He didn't say inferior beings! He started to, but he didn't!]

[ He stays quiet for a moment. This place, all things considered, wasn't that bad. But Mithos still feels like a prisoner, trapped in here with all of these humans. ]

What's the point? Lamufao's too powerful, and without Origin, the Eternal Sword can't overpower it.

Maybe there's something from here that can send people home. There might not be a point but...can you think of anything else you'd want to do here?

No. I need to save my sister, not socialize with a bunch of humans.

[Mithos, that's not...She rubs a hand over her eyes and sighs.] How can you save her here? It might not work, but it'll at least show what doesn't work and make it so there's less to try.

I don't care about the people here. I need to go home.

If planting the Seed will save her, I need to plan out how I can do so without humans bringing back magitechnology in the process.

[...Mithos.] I wasn't talking about helping the people here! I'm saying that you should try to work with others to find ways to go home. That way you don't try doing the exact same things they've already tried.

Then think about that! [He probably won't remember but.]

But--

[ Well... maybe it wouldn't hurt to at least find out what they know. If it means going home to Martel, maybe he could at least try to swallow his pride. ]

If... if it means being able to save Martel...

[Mithos, she doesn't understand your mood swings. Not that she's any better. He didn't finish that sentence; she can guess what he was about to say, but just to check...]

...If it means being able to save Martel?

[ A long, drawn out sigh. As he says this, he can already taste a bad taste in his mouth. ]

I guess I can try to find out what they know. I'd do anything to be with Martel again.

[He didn't need to tell her that. She already knew he would do everything he could to be with Martel again; it's just whether he would work with anyone else that she wanted to know.]

Alright! [A pause.] I don't know who any of the people who are trying to get home are though. [Then why did she want him to work with them....]

... Didn't you say that Martel could be brought here, too? And that she'd be alive?

Yeah. I'm not sure how long it would take though or if it'll even happen while you're still here. For all I know, she might show up later this month. I wouldn't put all my hopes there though.

[ Way to crush his hopes, Colette. Sadface Mithos. ]

[He's...not saying anything...]

But...I didn't think that anyone else would show up until a couple months past from when I arrived, and Zelos showed up only a month after I did. Lloyd and the Professor showed up not long after that, and then you showed up. A girl named Marta from our world showed up a month after you did. Kratos too.

[Not that she's talked to him yet. The list had his name the last time she checked. ~~Who is this Richter person~~]

Lamufao seems to like taking people from our world, so I'm sure she'll show up sometime.

[ He doesn't say anything for another minute, pondering what she said. So, people from Aselia were only recently being brought here. That means... maybe there's a chance. ]

Is there a way to ask it to bring her here?

I don't know...Maybe touching it and asking would work? I've never tried.

[Everyone would be safer back home anyway. Well...Mithos would be still alive here, but she wasn't sure he'd be Mithos and not Yggdrasill if he showed up.]

[ Well... it couldn't hurt to try. ]

I'll try that, then.

Alright! I hope she'll show up soon.

Me... me too.

[ He doesn't sound optimistic. ]

She will show up sometime, Mithos. I know she will.

[Because she can be optimistic enough for everyone.]

... I hope you're right.
