Epilogues

11-1<The Truth of the Elixir>
The truth of the creation of the Elixir was too much of a tragedy for Fheren to bear.
He spent days and nights in prayers, guarding Edenheart’s resting place.
He then blamed himself for his older days, regretting not confessing to Edenheart when he still had the chance.
When Fheren’s sorrow finally calmed down, he recollected and organized Edenheart’s research notes, presenting her findings to the alchemy institute.
He believed it to be the best way to commemorate Edenheart.

11-2 <The Whereabouts of the Elixir…?>
Edenheart asked one of Fheren’s maids, the middle-aged one that she has known for so many years, to complete the last step of brewing the Elixir.
But the maid betrayed Edenheart’s trust.
The middle-aged maid lied to Fheren, that Edenheart’s Elixir ultimately failed, and ran away with the Elixir herself.

11-3 <Fheren’s Treatment Center>

Even after spending a long time researching the Elixir, Edenheart was unable to complete it.
Fheren finally gave in to the sickness, and Edenheart spent days crying, hugging Fheren’s coffin tightly.
After the funeral, Edenheart abandoned the research on the Elixir and began something new.
She started a treatment center, treating the sick and wounded for free.
She dealt with every single one of her patients with care and love, as if to compensate for not being able to save Fheren.

11-5<Curse of the Evil Spirit>
The rumor about a specter haunting the ruins spread like an epidemic.
Veneprada merchant’s guild did everything to hire people for the excavation, but no one dared go near the ruins anymore.
Alas, Veneprada’s new business came to and end before it even began.		…

11-6<The Controversial Elixir>

By winter, Veneprada merchant’s guild showcased a brand-new product to the market.
It is the legendary Elixir, said to be able to cure any sickness or wound in an instant.
Despite its preposterous price, the Elixir sold like hotcakes, becoming a popular product among regional riches, nobles, and royal families.
But scholars and intellectuals soon discovered that the creation of an Elixir requires a human soul – Veneprada merchant’s guild and its Elixir has now fallen into a state of controversy.		…

11-7<Greed Leads to Ruin>
Osborne decided to use brand-new technology to get rid of the specter – gunpowder, only recently utilized in battlefields.
But perhaps he used too much gunpowder.
A huge explosion destroyed the entire structure of Plasphere Ruins, burying Osborne with its debris in the process.		…

11-8<Rumors of Plasphere>
After Osborne’s death, a new rumor circled around Plasphere Ruins.
Apparently the evil specter that has been haunting the ruins is gone now.
Not everyone believed the story to be true – but what’s for certain is that nobody knew why the specter appeared in the first place, and why it suddenly disappeared.		…

11-9<Demoted Osborne>
Talk of the new Elixir business sprang up during the Veneprada merchant’s guild’s monthly conference.
Despite the huge amount of capital invested, the business has failed to generate a notable outcome.
Osborne begged the guild for more time, trying to convince them that they will make a fortune in no time, but the other executives disagreed.
The Elixir business came to an end, and Osborne was ordered to switch posts.
His new rank was an titular one, devoid of any real authority or influence over Veneprada’s businesses.
Anyone could see that he was demoted.		….

By winter, Veneprada merchant’s guild showcased a brand-new product to the market.
It is the legendary Elixir, said to be able to cure any sickness or wound in an instant.
Edenheart sued Veneprada, asserting that the guild stole her research and monetized it.
But the judges are already bribed by the guild – Edenheart’s claims held zero power.

11-11 <After Their Died…>
Clueless of Edenheart’s death, Fheren passed away awaiting news about her whereabouts.
Before his death, Fheren left a note of will for Edenheart, but that never reached the alchemist’s eyes.
After Fheren died, his maids gathered their personal stuffs and left the manor, while the estate was inherited by a distant cousin.
Edenheart’s laboratory became abandoned, turning into a dusty home for spiders and rats.
From time to time some petty thieves broke in to the laboratory to steal stuff to sell.
Edenheart’s research was separated into many pieces, following the flow of gold, and is now all over the world.

Only after years have passed did Fheren learn about Edenheart’s whereabouts.
He had no idea why Edenheart died, or even why you decided to not tell you of her death.
He is still searching for you, to find out the truth behind it all.		x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x [Grimdit]

11-13<Unexpected Advantage>
You ended up killing both Edenheart and Fheren.
Not that it brought you any positive results.
It did benefit Veneprada merchant’s guild, though – they were able to get their hands on the Elixir recipe after ransacking Edenheart’s laboratory.
The guild began its own research using those materials, to create the legendary Elixir themselves.		….

11-14<Edenheart’s Steel Laboratory>
After her research notes were almost stolen, Edenheart moved the location of her lab and stopped going outside.
She cared more about strengthening the security of her lab more than the research itself – spending time and resources obsessively.
As a result, she now has an unbreachable steel laboratory, where no one can get in except herself.
But soon, she was notified of Fheren’s death via a letter, and only then did she realize that all her efforts have been for nothing.

Fheren avenged Edenheart, and believed that he vanquished you from this world forever.
His sorrow still remained, but he soon made up his mind, moving on from his sorrow.
He recollected and organized Edenheart’s research notes, presenting her findings to the alchemy institute.
He believed it to be the best way to commemorate Edenheart.
