A/N: Rescue your brother!
Narrator POV
After defeating Nikador, the coreflame was now in need of a successor
And the choosen one was Phainon
With confidence, he went to handle it, assuring he will succeed!
After 5 hours, he was still in there
And meanwhile, Y/N and Stelle had to stay busy
Y/N: And then, you yell the catch phrase, and unleash your full power that have yet to be released officially
Stelle: Hm... But what about the drawbacks?
Y/N: Extreme diarhea at worst. Minor headache at best
Stelle: Seems cool enough. Aight! We're doing this in case of crisis!
Dan Heng: ....
Y/N: You can do it too, Pookie
Dan Heng: I prefer not too. It's embarassing
And their moment, was done when Mydei spoke up
Mydei: Aglaea, with all due respect... This trial is taking far too long
Stelle: Don't worry. Have faith in Phainon
Aglaea: What do you think of this, Trinnon?
Trinnon: It's not possible to tell for sure what goes on within the Vortex. All I can hear are fragments of speech and distant battle cries...
Y/N: ....So she hear voices too-
He got elbowed at his side by Dan Heng...
Who got a glare from Castorice
Aglaea: Is it Phainon's voice?
Trinnon: I'm not sure. It's difficult to make out clearly...
Y/N: AAAAAAND that's the red flag we've waited for. Aglaea, Mydei, we go along with the plan
Stelle: Plan?
Mydei: Plan B. We pull him out when something goes wrong
Y/N: He's going, and so am I. Safety mesure and all
Castorice: I am against it. The coreflame trial is many times more complicated than a standard ritual. Even the slightest misjudgment, misstep, or hiccup could result in grave consequences. And after everything that happened, you are in no state to go there, Y/N. Let me join you instead, Lord Mydei
Y/N: You're talking about my state when you're not even sure yourself? Castorice, please
Castorice: ...
Aglaea: Y/N, you will directly enter the trial of Nikador, and so, meet his mind again. Be prepared for a battle against him just in case
Y/N: I'm super duper ready!
Mydei: Then, let's go!
And the moment they approached the Vortex, they got in the trial
They were now inside Okhema, as a battle was happening
Y/N: Huh. Totally not my memory
Mydei: Of course. Where there's Strife, there's carnage... It shouldn't come as a surprise to see such a sight in Nikador's trial
