Hey. Do you think this is fate? That I'm awesome? That I'm Kyle?

Of course not. You never suffer my fate before. After all, you had an easy life didn't you? Velderoth. My friend, why did you run? You're suppose to protect Tear. From all this danger. Humph, I bet you're just the same. When push come to shove, you just ran. You coward.

It was my first day, since I found out that I was Kaiser's reincarnation. I was testing my strength and got my gifts (I thought girls like flowers!) rejected(sorta) by Tear. Dang, I kept forgetting she loves shiny, shiny stones. I thought I did like to pay her a visit.

And for the first time, I managed to win over Velderoth in terms of collecting. I didn't know that it was possible, but that was before I knew I was Kaiser. The warm thing, Nova Essence, beat in my soul. But the light was weak.

"Hey Kyl-" a familiar voice called me and I turned just in time to see Velderoth chuckling to himself. "You're such a big shot now aren't you? Getting the Kaiser title." He scoffed at me. "No matter what, you still haven't change." He managed a small smile and chuckled lightly to himself while I glared at him.

"Isn't it better this way?" I pointed out.

"Maybe - maybe not." He replied. "It doesn't matter as long as we are friends."

What a fool I am. If I had known it earlier, I could have assure you that there is nothing bad between us. That doesn't mean I'm Kaiser and it's fun - it's not. Yeah, it's awesome as "Kaiser" but at the same time it's not. I'm still green that time. Why did you run? After all, you could have help us. Why did you disband our team? Is it because we are weak? Doesn't mean I'm beaten by Magnus, you can assume Grandis is doom to fail.

Yeah, sure - I was down. But then again, you didn't do better. Is that it? You're such a jerk. An ass.

"Kyle...don't do anything stupid, kay?" Tear looked at me with her big eyes and as usual, my heart skipped a beat when I saw her. I felt my face flushed.

...I wish I could tell Tear how I felt. I missed your sarcasm and that rodeo sound of yours...

"WAIT! Where you're going?" I cried out to Velderoth. He looked extremely down but yet, determine to leave.

"DON'T," He hissed. "Follow me. This isn't a child's dream, Kyle!" He continued to walk, just a footstep away from the barrier. "This isn't a game. Face the reality, Kyle. Grandis is already doom to fail." Tear was behind me, calling Velderoth to stop. I finally understood.

He has the intent to leave and wasn't hesitating. I pulled Tear back, shaking my head dejectedly and watched Velderoth as he disappeared out of my sight as he walked on ahead, slowly become a small speck of silhouette...then...gone.

It was painful. You're my best bud. I swear, I will catch you, and beat senses into you. With my very own fist. Even if Tear disagree, I would still do it. I will follow you, even if it meant keeping my distance from Grandis.

But my first priority is to ensure Pantheon is safe from Specters. So, I have to ensure that the citizens, soldiers get enough food. Tracking you down wasn't easy. Until you showed up with Magnus, I knew that nothing could ever be same again. That horrible feeling when you left was bad enough. I still have faith in you.

So please...come back to us...we may be weak for now, but I can assure you, we will be strong. Weak as we are divided but strong when we are united.

That is the message, I intent to give you, with our battles. It was foolish decision, but I had no choice. Actions speaks louder than words in your case. You are the hot-headed one - not me. You are the one. You're suppose to be Kaiser. Not me. I wish that I'm not "Kaiser" so that this broken friendship of ours will never happen.
