SYLAS

"YOU DO ACT LIKE A KID SOMETIMES..." "HEH!" "BUT I'VE NEVER THOUGHT OF YOU AS ONE."

KYLE

-THEN AGAIN, I NEVER KNEW MY MOM,IT'S JUST BEEN DAD AND ME FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, AND HE NEVER TALKS  ABOUT MOM,AS A YOUNG BOY,I ONCE ASKED HIMM.....

-WHY I DIDN'T HAVE A MOM, HE EMBRACED ME AND SAID, "I'M SORRY ,IT'S MY FAULT ...." AND SAID NOTHING MORE ABOUT IT.

KYLE

".... ..MAYBE I REALLY AM A KID, AFTER ALL. "

"I'M JUST A NARROWMINDED BRAT WHO'S NEVER LEFT THE VILLAGE. "

"IT'S HARD ENOUGH FOR ME JUST TO STAY ALIVE IN THIS WORLD..... "

"SUPPOSE I REALLY AM THE HERO, LIKE YOU SAID... AND I DEFEAT THE DEMON LORD.....NOT THAT I THINK I CAN DO THAT, BUT LET'S SAY I COULD. "

"WILL MY WORLD CHANGE IN ANY WAY? AFTER EVERYONE HAS HAILED ME AS THEIR HERO, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? "

SYLAS

'.... ARE YOU HAPPY NOW KYLE? "

KYLE

-... "HAPPY"?

-LET ME THINK BACK ON MY LIFE, THINGS WERE HARD EVEN BACK WHEN DAD WAS WORKING.

-I WAS SO SET ON HELPING OUT, I THOUGHT SCHOOL WAS A WASTE OF TIME, AFTER DAD'S INJURY, ALL I REMEMBER IS THAT EVERYDAY WAS A STRUGGLE. awwww*

-ALICE AND THE OTHER VILLAGE HELPED US, I WAS GRATEFUL FOR THAT BUT NOT REALLY HAPPY.

KYLE

"I'VE NEVER REALLY GIVEN IT MUCH THOUGHT. "

"WHAT'S WITH THAT FACE? "

"IM NOT UNHAPPY. "

"YOU WILL BE HAPPY. "

KYLE

"HUH? "

SYLAS

" YOU'LL BE HAPPY AFTER YOU DEFEAT THE DEMON LORD, AS THE STORY GOES, "AFTER DEFEATING THE DEMON LORD, THE HERO LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER WITH THE PRINCESS. "

KYLE

"A "PRINCESS"? ACCORDING TO YOUR MEMORIES OF YOUR PREVIOUS LIFE, I'LL LIVE WITH A PRINCESS? "

SYLAS

"THAT'S RIGHT, THE KING..... MY FATHER, THAT IS, WILL GRANT YOU ONE WISH, ANY- THING YOU WANT. "

KYLE

"HMM..... "

- SO , I'LL GET MARRIED? WILL THAT REALLY MAKE ME HAPPY?

-RATHER THAN LIVING WITH SOME PRINCESS I'VE NEVER MET....

KYLE

"THAT'S REALLY NOT MOTIVATING ME. "

SYLAS

"WHAT!? "

SIIIIIGH*

"YOU'VE GOT A HAPPY FUTURE AHEAD OF YOU. ISN'T THAT ENOUGH TO GET YOU MOTIVATED.....? "

KYLE

" ASSUMING MARRIAGE IS A HAPPY ENDING IS TOO SIMPLE. ISN'T IT JUST THE START OF A NEW CHALLENGE? "

"AND, GETTING HITCHED WITH A PRINCESS SOUNDS LIKE A MASSIVE PAIN IN THE ASS. "

SYLAS

"YOU REALLY ARE HARD TO PLEASE! "

ANNOYED! *

"YOU'VE BEEN PROMISED A HAPPY FUTURE! "

KYLE

"PROMISED? "

"WHO MADE THAT PROMISE? GOD? "

"YOU WANT ME TO RISK MY LIFE BASED ON YOUR MEMORIES? "

KYLE

"OK..... AND? "

SYLAS

"....I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU EVERY DAY. "

KYLE

"HAHA! "

"ISN'T THAT HOW THINGS ARE NOW?"

SYLAS

"URK... YEAH.... "

KYLE

"BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT? "

"THAT KIND OF FUTURE SOUNDS NICE. "

KYLE

"I WONDER IF SPENDING EVERY DAY WITH YOU WILL MAKE MY COMMON SENSE GO OUT OF WHACK, TOO. "

SYLAS

"YOU MAKE FUN OF ME SOMETIMES! " GRR! *

KYLE

'I'M KIDDING. '

-HE'S ADORABLE FOR THINKING IT'S ONLY "SOMETIMES".

"SO , ONCE WE DEFEAT THE DEMON LORD, YOU'LL MAKE ME HAPPY? "

SYLAS

"NO, YOU'VE GOT THE PRINCESS...... "

"BUT IF SHE DOESN'T MAKE YOU HAPPY, YOU CAN LIVE WITH ME AGAIN..... "

".....WAIT, BUT THEN WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PRINCESS!? "
