Echocalypse: Scarlet Covenant story ยท Main story, Act 25: Nightmare

124. Farewell and Missing

By the way, that mysterious, annoying Nebu guy is also an old friend of Horus? Forget it. I don't care even if he is the ''god'' of Nebu.

Nevka

So... About our next step...

Nephthys

Bah...!

Eriri

Ah, they got away!

Nephthys ran off carrying the unconscious Set.

Awakener

Stop, Nephthys!

Nephthys

Darn it. Can't believe I have to run away as the weapon of Lord Wadjet...! You wait and see! Sooner or later, my shame will be...

Awakener

(A weapon... I see. Nephthys is the same Vivi, who got brainwashed by Wadjet into thinking she's just a weapon!)

Nephthys, you're wrong! You're not a machine made only for fighting!

I don't know what happened to you, but no one in this world is born only to fight.

I'm certain that every person has a heart. So, Nephthys, please follow your own heart, not someone's orders.

Nephthys

... Nonsense. No one should disobey Rasparta. You guys will soon learn this.

Nephthys disappeared after leaving the tough talk...

And that finally marked the end of the battle.

, Later, outside the ruins.

Snezhana

Argh! This trip has been so exhausting. I think my shoulder has gotten worse.

Eriri

You're still talking about your shoulder even though you're injured like this...?

Snezhana

Of course! Forget it, you'll never understand.

Eriri

Gosh! Not this again!

Anubis

Ah, we're back to normal again.

Awakener

I can understand how relieved everyone is.

Sova

But we can't let down our guard. We have to set off to return to Teslovik now...

Awakener

Alright, just give them a break. I'm tired too...

By the way, since we're going back to Teslovik. Anubis and Nevka, you guys...

... Huh? Where's Nevka?

3. Stage 124-10, after the battle

30 lines
Eriri

Huh? What's going on? We can't find Nevka anywhere.

Anubis

Strange, he was here just now...

Snezhana

Since the problem has been solved, could it be that he went back to Horus?

Anubis

But he can't just leave without saying bye. How rude.

Sova

I've somehow gotten used to him being with us... What a strange guy.

Awakener

Never mind. Maybe we will see him again soon. Let's save our complaints for when we see him.

Well, let's go report to Horus first, then we can go back to Teslovik.

Anubis

Oh, there's no need. I've already reported to Lord Horus.

It would be bad if Rasparta knows you travel around Nebu with the Relic. You can just go back to Teslovik with the relic.

Eriri

Really?! Awesome! We can finally go home!

Snezhana

Hehe, thanks for being so considerate. Honestly, I don't want any more hassle.

Sova

Come on, guys. We're not even in Teslovik yet.

Anubis

So, I'll leave the relics to you. Sorry I'll have to see you guys off in this terrible place. I'll head back directly now.

Sova

Okay. Take care.

Awakener

By the way... if you see Nevka in Nebu, please say hi to him for me.

Anubis

Sure. But I don't even know which tribe he's from... Let me confirm it with Lord Horus later.

Awakener

It's okay. Only if you happen to see him. Anubis, thank you for everything.

Anubis

I should be the one to say thank you. I even got the chance to talk to my long-separated sister.

I hope we will meet again. All the best with the rest of your journey.

Eriri

Great! Let's set off to Teslovik!

Anubis

... They're all gone now. It's been so noisy, but they're truly lovely people.

Well, it's time for me to go back and officially report to Lord Horus. I may as well inquire about Nevka...

... Hold on. Wait, Nevka... Nevka...?

I remember now! No wonder I felt like I've heard it somewhere...

Isn't ''Nevka'' the name of the commander-in-chief of the ancient Nebu Alliance...!

Nevka

, So they never find out who I am. Too weak, kind, and reckless, but full of potential...?

Zawa, I bet you've met that kid already, right? Our hope, the Awakener of this generation. I look forward to seeing what will happen.

Well, if there's any danger at all...

As an Awakener, that kid will one day have to kill the sister.

To save the ''people suffering in front of you'' and kill the person most important to you, Are you ready for it, Awakener?
