Chapter 1: A Pleasant Dream

I was born and raised in this village.

Alice

Finn! The fishing line! You've got a bite!

Finn

Leave it to me! Heh, it's a big one. Here
we...go!

Alice

Wow ♪

This is Alice. I've known her since we
were kids. She's like a little sister.

Alice

"Who are you?" "I'm your lunch!"
said the fish! Tee-hee♪

Finn

You mean our lunch, right?

Alice

Then we need another two, please! One
for you and one for the bunny.

Finn

You mean that rabbit actually eats? I
thought it was just a stuffed toy.

Rabbit?

You would call Tavun the 12th, a rabbit of
most honorable lineage, a stuffed toy?!

Tavun Rabbit

A devoted playmate of our beloved Miss
Alice befits a more respectful title!

Finn

Right... Sorry about that.
(That was just Alice putting on a voice...)

Alice

And on that note... Roll up your sleeves,
Finn!

Tavun Rabbit

Indeed! For the young lady's smile, and
her daily protein!

Finn

Just wait, I'll catch you one so big you
won't even be able to finish it!

We fish, we care for the garden, we live
our lives.

Alice

This year's apples are just divine, aren't
they?

Finn

They really are. The effort we put into the
garden really paid off, huh?

Alice

They're so delicious! Enough to make
Humpty Dumpty leap down from his wall!

Finn

I never know what you mean with that
stuff...

Our days are peaceful as could be.

Alice

Zzz... Zzz...

Finn

Alice is sleeping in my bed again.

Alice

Hmm...Finn...just the left eyebrow...
Let me...shave...the left...

Alice

Zzz... Zzz...

Finn

Looks like I'm in her dream. Not sure I
like what's going on though.

Finn

Well, at least she's sleeping.

Finn

...

Finn

(There's something strange about this
place. It doesn't seem right. Wait...)

Finn

(This world itself...)

Finn

I've got everything I need to start my
search.

Finn

(I can feel...people. They gather around
me like shadows...)

Finn

(Are they friends? I have no memory of
anyone but Alice. But surely...)

Finn

It's time to go.

Finn

What is this place? Who am I? Why am I
here? And...

???

"Fi...wak...up..."

???

"Finn!"

Finn

(Why do I hear these voices...? Why can't
I reply?)

Finn

I want to know who's calling me. I want to
know why I'm here.

Finn

I'm going to get some answers!

Optional

Finn and Alice set out, but their way
was plagued with trouble.

Bikki Warrior

Led by the light of a bright and beauteous
star, verily have I come!

Bikki Warrior

You there! Young gentleman! Ask no
questions, and fight me!

Bikki Warrior

And when I have won, I shall
escort the lovely maiden, forsooth!

A shockingly theatrical bikki swordmaster
stood before them.

Despite his strange mannerisms, his blade
was sharp and fierce.

[S-Mission 4-1-1]

Optional

Bikki Warrior

Nwaaah!

Bikki Warrior

T-To lose in battle after challenging you
myself... There is no greater shame!

Bikki Warrior

I would open my belly for this, but I would
not subject the lady to such sights!

Bikki Warrior

...And so, instead, I will simply take my
leave forthwith and heretofore!

Bikki Warrior

May we meet again in a sunny place. Fare
thee well!

Just as fast as he had appeared, the
swordmaster vanished once more.

Was he a phantom of Finn's memories?
Or simply an impulsive Phantasm?

Regardless, the two travelers could do
little but continue their journey.

Finn

I can sense monsters everywhere.

Finn

But it's weird... They don't feel alive. It's
almost like they're ghosts.

Finn

These "friends" I sense around me feel
the same...

Finn

(I think I get it now. These friends...
they're a part of my memories.)

Finn

(But why do I feel like someone is
missing?)

Finn

It's no use, I can't remember...

Finn

I just have to keep going. If I do that, I'll
find the answers.

Finn

I'm sure of it!

???

...

???

The voices... They've reached Finn.

???

Then I know what I must do.

Optional

Finn

Huh?

Alice

What's the matter, Finn? You didn't spot
a grin without a cat, did you?

Finn

There's something coming from the sky.
It's not a bird. What is that?

Alice

Aah! It's here!

Uncanny Beast

...

Finn

What is that thing?! A monster? Or is it a
Guardian?!

Alice

No... That's probably an Avatar!

Finn

An Avatar? Does it work for Hypnos, like
you?

Alice

No... I don't know whose it is. But I do
know one thing.

Finn

What's that?!

Uncanny Beast

Grrrrrrrrroaaaaaaaaaah!

Alice

It's here looking for a fight!

Finn

Yeah, I think I picked up on that myself!

[S-Mission 4-1-2]

Optional

Uncanny Beast

...

Finn

It's running away!

Alice

How dare you come in here and mess up
my playground!

Finn

Uh, you mean "Finn's dream," right?

Alice

Let's kick its butt, Finn! This dream world
doesn't need two Avatars in it!

Finn

Okay, okay, I'm coming.

Finn

(That Avatar was fighting like it was
testing us, or something...)

Finn

(What is it after, I wonder?)

Finn

Alice is probably still sleeping.

Finn

I'll go straight back once I find what I'm
looking for, but Alice will be mad for sure.

Finn

I can hear her now... "Why didn't you take
me?!"

Alice

Why didn't you take me?

Finn

Hah, yeah. Exactly like that.

Finn

Wait, what?!

Alice

"Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie..." I
found you.

Finn

You followed me?!

Tavun Rabbit

Leaving on an adventure without the
heroine Miss Alice? You traitor!

Tavun Rabbit

You, the Mock Turtle, and the Gryphon
should run in circles till the end of days!

Finn

I don't really know what you mean by that...
But I am sorry.

Finn

I just have to know the truth about this
place and about myself!

Alice

...

Finn

Alice, please go back to the village. If you
don't want to go alone, I'll walk you.

Finn

This search is something I need to do alone.

Alice

There's no point in me going back to the
village.

Alice

From the beginning, it's only ever been us
two living there.

Finn

Huh?

Alice

Finn. It's time to stop dreaming. You're
going to wake up back at the village.

Alice

It'll be just like any other day.

Finn

Alice! What are all these monsters?!

Alice

Poor little Robin...

[Mission 4-1-1]

Alice

Men whose grand words do not amount to
grand deeds are like weeds in a garden.

Alice

But you're different, Finn. I guess that's
why...

Finn

Alice, who are you?

Finn

You know something about me, about this
whole place, don't you?!

Alice

Oh, Finn. You don't even know how
dangerous you are, do you?

Finn

What do you mean?

Alice

"We " had been sealed away for so long.
When you defeated "it" and released us,

Alice

you made a rule that had never before
existed in Erden.

Finn

A rule? What does that mean? And what
did I defeat?

Alice

A god. It was not of this world, but what
you struck down was a god nonetheless.

Finn

What...

Alice

Ah.

???

"Finn! Please! Wake...up!"

???

" It's...dangerous..."

Alice

That voice is getting louder, isn't it?

Finn

You hear it too? What does it mean?
I keep hearing "Wake...up".

Alice

...

Alice

This is your dream, silly.

Alice

It's because of the power you made that
you were placed in such a deep sleep.

Finn

A dream... This world is all a dream?

Alice

It was made to heal the damage your soul
suffered making your new power.

Alice

But the more it was studied, the more it
like seemed like it could destroy Erden.

Finn

So I'm being made to sleep...?

Alice

That's right. That's what this world is for.

Alice

And they asked me to keep an eye on you.

Finn

You're saying if I wake up, something bad
will happen?

Alice

I don't really know.

Alice

No one knows anything about that power
of yours.

Alice

Although, they probably know more about
it than us.

Finn

Who's "they"? The person who told you to
watch me? The one who put me to sleep?

Alice

They know your memories. They know your
power. They alone can release you.

Alice

Then the destination of our grand adventure
is decided! Tee-hee♪

Finn

Alice, who are you?

Alice

Oh no, there's no time for chatter! We're
off to see my boss. Hypnos, the Primordial!

Finn

Hypnos the what?!

Finn

Alice! Wait! That means you've been trying
to shut me in here from the beginning?

Alice

And we're off!

Finn

H-Hey!!

Optional

Alice

Testing us? That Avatar?

Finn

Yeah. I didn't get the feeling it was
fighting seriously, somehow.

Alice

Hmm. Now that you mention it, you
could be right.

Finn

So it must want something, right? Maybe
we can talk to it when we catch up.

Alice

You mean after we kick its butt?

Finn

You sure are fast to pick fights, huh.

Alice

But—

Finn

I know it's kind of copying your power,
but shouldn't we be more understanding?

Alice

Even though it came to attack us first?
Hmm... It's really weird.

Finn

That it can enter dreams, you mean?

Alice

This is Hypnos's territory, after all.
Something like that shouldn't—

Alice

(Wait a minute. What if...)

Finn

H-Hey! Alice, look! Over on the south
shore of the lake!

Alice

There it is!

Finn

It's got friends. Looks like it's waiting
for us to come...

Alice

Let's go. And once we've kicked its butt,
we can ask what the big idea is!

Finn

You're really stuck on that, huh...

Finn

...

Alice

Finn, you've been staring at me for a while
now. Could this be love?

Finn

What? No, I was just thinking that you're
really strong.

Alice

Of course! I'm invincible as long as I'm in
my garden!

Finn

Your garden?

Alice

My Little Garden is the little dream that I
dream around me.

Finn

The power of dreams, huh?

Alice

That's right! That's why my dress is always
spotless and my juice bottle never empty.

Finn

You do drink from it a lot. I had no idea
it was endless. What about the rabbit?

Tavun Rabbit

Hmph. In any and every world, Rabbits
have always been half-made from dreams.

Tavun Rabbit

How many rabbit pies have you eaten not
knowing that? Such ignorance.

Finn

Right... Well, thanks for telling me.

Finn

Alice. Is this really okay?

Alice

Is what okay?

Finn

I'm happy to have you here, I really am. But
aren't you disobeying Hypnos by helping me?

Finn

If I get out of here and remember my past,
what does that mean for you?

Alice

Hmm... I never much liked the idea of
keeping you trapped here.

Alice

After living with you, I'm sure you'll do
good things with that power of yours.

Alice

Besides, Hypnos isn't that stubborn. If we
explain, they'll listen.

Alice

I think!

Finn

You think? But...

Finn

If it looks like things are going to get rough
you should say I threatened you! That way―

Tavun Rabbit

Impudent rube! Miss Alice and Hypnos
have been acquainted for 2 millennia!

Tavun Rabbit

The bonds between the Primordials and
their Avatars are deeper than you realize.

Tavun Rabbit

It's not something the likes of you could
possibly hope to understand!

Tavun Rabbit

Probably.

Finn

"Probably"?!

Alice

Don't worry your pretty little head about
Hypnos. Worry about the Guardians.

Finn

"Guardians"? You mean the monsters in
this dream? They certainly are a handful.

Alice

Those are Phantasms. The magic that lives
within all living things gives them form.

Alice

The form they take is influenced by the
dreamer's hopes, fears, and memories.

Alice

They usually wander aimlessly through
people's dreams.

Alice

But the little friends we've been meeting
are here at Hypnos' command.

Finn

Why?

Alice

To stop those with a soul from leaving the
village. In this case, that would be you.

Finn

So they're basically just dreams too? That
explains why they don't feel quite real.

Alice

But the Guardians are different. When they
come for you, they'll really try to hurt you.

Finn

Are you saying they might kill me? What
are they?

Alice

They're dreams, Finn.

Alice

To be precise, they're yours. They were
born from your dream.

Finn

My dream made them? What does that
mean?

Alice

You'll understand when you meet them. If
you don't meet them, you can't.

Alice

So let's go!

Finn

Guardians, huh...?

Optional

Uncanny Beast

...!

Finn

There it is.

Alice

There's something really weird about
it up close. Is it really an Avatar?

Finn

H-Hey, don't just call other people weird.

???

(We are...Fortune.)

Finn

Huh?! A voice...in my head?!

Alice

It didn't sound male or female, so... That
means it was this, right?

???

(Of the Four, an omen of prosperity.
We are known to some as Kirin.)

Finn

Kirin?

Alice

Huh? I feel like I've heard that name
somewhere before.

Kirin

(By the grace of the God of Death, we have
come to test thee. Draw!)

Finn

Hang on, what?! Aw, man, so we're
fighting after all?!

Alice

The God of Death... I knew it!

Finn

I guess we have no choice. Be careful,
Alice!

[S-Mission 4-1-3]

Optional

Kirin

(Oh...!)

Kirin

(Our shell, brimming with good fortune,
so easily removed.)

Finn

Hey, hello? Can you hear me? Why are
you testing us, huh?

Kirin

(We are Fortune, and Fortune We seek.
Thus were We by Our Creator made.)

Alice

Now I remember...

Alice

When a person of great power is born here,
a Kirin appears to test them, right?

Finn

To test them?

Alice

Yes. And if that person is found evil...
The Kirin kills them.

Finn

What...?

Kirin

(The test is over. In accordance with the
contract, We now leave this place.)

Finn

So, some other Primordial used that Kirin
to test me?

Alice

And Hypnos didn't want a fight, so they
just let it into my garden! Hmph!

Finn

I feel like the gods are having fun playing
with me...

Kirin

(Thou hast met Our test. As Our Creator
wills, We bestow thee a boon.)

Finn

What's this?

Alice

Wow! A present made with the power of
Fate! How generous ♪

Finn

Fate?

Alice

It's magically connected to you, so it'll
still be with you when you wake up!

Finn

Wow, really?! That's so cool! Huh? Hey,
the Kirin's gone...

Alice

I guess it left when it finished its work.
Without even a goodbye. How chilly.

Finn

Aw, that's a shame. I wanted to say
thank you for the present, at least.

Alice

Even after it attacked you? Well, I guess
that's part of what it liked about you!

Finn

Ha ha. Well, with rewards like this one,
I wouldn't mind a few more tests.

Alice

Watch what you wish for. Most Primordials
won't let you go with just "a few more."

Finn

L-Let's get going!

Alice

And then suddenly, another challenge
appeared before Finn, the brave hero!

Finn

No thank you...

[Mission 4-1-2]

Optional

Finn

Hey, what's this?

Finn

This village...

Alice

Something really tore this place apart.
Looks like the residents have fled.

Finn

I feel like I've seen this place before. The
smell is familiar too...

Alice

It's coming from that village. Alcohol?
Medicine?

Finn

Let's check it out.

Finn

This is...

Alice

Somewhere you remember?

Finn

I think so...

Finn

(This is the village where I...)

???

Hee-hee... I finally found you.

Finn

Y-You!

Demon

Trying to flee from the lab? Tsk-tsk. You
truly are a difficult test subject.

Alice

Do you know this lady? She smells like bad
medicine.

Finn

Urgh... It's no good, I can't remember!

Demon

Let's try this one out... My newest concoction
that will bind you to my will for life!

Finn

Alice, watch out!

Alice

Waaah!

Finn

Are you okay? Did she get any on you?

Alice

I'm okay. Thanks, Finn!

Alice

I could have dodged it easily on my own,
but it's nice being protected for once♪

Finn

Alice... Did you mean to say that out loud?

Demon

How dare you reject my brilliant invention?
Inferior life forms like you...

Demon

I guess I'll have to make some adjustments to
this particular batch of subjects.

[Mission 4-1-3]

Optional

Finn

I bet this will come in handy!

[Mission 4-1-4]

Finn

That building...

Alice

Is that what they call a fortress? I suppose
this came from your memories, too.

Finn

Probably. Hmm?

Girl

...

Alice

A girl? Looks like she went inside that
building.

Finn

Ah! That girl is...!

Alice

Finn? Finn! Wait, that girl is definitely―

Alice

Grr... Finn, come back here!

Girl

...

Finn

Hey, you! You're...umm...

Girl

Finn

(Damn, I can't remember her name for the
life of me.)

Finn

(But I know... I know she's important.)

Alice

Finn, watch out!

Finn

Girl

RAAARGH!!

Finn

She's attacking?!

???

Ugh... So close, man. I almost snagged
that face for myself.

Finn

A shape-shifter?! Are you a demon?!

Gyurelle

Yep! I'm Gyurelle∼ Here to steal your
looks and take your place.

Alice

Finn! She's the next Guardian!

Gyurelle

So, Finn. I'm gonna get rid of your reason
to live for you. And you just rest, 'kay?

Red Knight

Indeed! Your training only truly begins
when you enter the eternal sleep!

Boy

I think you've had enough soup, Finn.

Szi Warrior

Brother. You should rest...until the stars
fade and the planet dies. Rest...

Finn

How does she keep changing?! And all
these people... Are they...?

Alice

Likely the friends from your memories.
What a twisted creature!

Kud Warrior

You don't need to worry anymore. You can
just sleep. Just keep on sleeping. Forever.

Elven Rogue

You really don't have to do anything. This
is for the kids. You know that, right?

Kud Elder

Will you sleep forever, or shall I put you
at peace? Choose!

Finn

St-Stop...

Young Elf

Don't you understand? We did it! Erden is
saved. But if you wake up... You'll ruin it!

Red Knight

You are the threat to Erden now! Show a
little contrition!

Finn

Just...St-Sto...

Alice

Finn! This is just a bad dream. The more
you fear it, the worse it will get!

Finn

I know this is just that demon... But... I...

Bikki Warrior

Sir Finn! A minor request, if I may...

Bikki Warrior

Would you mind telling me the name of
the young woman next to you?

Finn

Alice

This one's kind of weird...

Finn

I won't give up!

Bikki Warrior

Urgh!!

Gyurelle

Like, I know it's really just me and all, but
you'd hit your own friend? That's so mean!

Finn

That's the thing about Nagi... He's always
the life of the party.

Finn

Always ready to throw himself into harm's
way if it's for a princess.

Finn

He's not the kind to lose heart over a
little wound like this!

Alice

I see! You mean he's always making a riot,
so he can take a little jab!

Gyurelle

What?!

Finn

It means you've lost, Gyurelle!

[Mission 4-1-5]

Gyurelle

Aaaagh... Which one is my face!? Not this
one... Not that one... Not that one...

Gyurelle

I can't remember...
I can't remember myseeeelf...!!

Finn

That's what you get for messing with my
memories!

Alice

You did it, Finn! I can hardly believe you've
already beaten two Guardians.

Finn

I could only do it because I had your help.
Thanks, Alice.

Finn

Seeing that imposter only made me more
fired up to meet my real friends!

Alice

Hmmm....

Alice

(I guess he really wants to meet them...)

Finn

By the way, Alice... That thing over there
in the distance. That's a gate, right?

Alice

Huh?

Alice

The Dream Gate! I had no idea we were so
close already!

Finn

The Dream Gate?

Alice

That's the border between the real world
and the dreams ruled by Hypnos.

Alice

By defeating the Guardians, you're getting
closer to awakening from this dream!

Finn

So, all I have to do is head there and....

Alice

You can wake up! And you can meet
Hypnos!

Finn

Alright! What are we waiting for!

Alice

Hmm...?

Finn

Alice? What's wrong?

Alice

It's strange... I can hear a voice...

Finn

No way... Does that mean...?

Voice

Why?

Voice

Finn's brain seems to be active and awake.

Voice

That's the results of both my investigation
and Sage Rei's diagnostic analysis.

Voice

And yet...

Callen

Rei, why is this happening?!

Rei

Be calm, Callen. Finn's soul is being
restrained by an unbelievably strong force.

Rei

The source of which is likely raw spiritual
energy. No being of Erden could possibly

Rei

harness the power that impedes our
treatment. Which leaves only one answer.

Rei

This is the power of the Spirit World.

Callen

The source of Erden's magical power...?
How? It has no will of its own.

Rei

It's said that the gods who made Erden
made their home in the Spirit World.

Callen

You speak of the Primordials?

Callen

Even assuming they exist, what would they
want with... Ah!

Rei

Callen

Rei

The battle's coming closer...

Callen

Nagi and the others are strong, but the
enemy numbers are too great!

Rei

We must abandon the laboratory, and carry
Finn into the Forest of the Fae!

Callen

Not now!

Callen

(With Kisenkyo's help we finally got the
Great Sage to the Elvenlent ley lines.)

Callen

(We had everything we needed, a treatment
was within our grasp!)

Rei

Callen. This is not the time to flounder.
We're not safe here.

Callen

Sage Rei, please. Let's continue Finn's
treatment.

Callen

His last reaction was the strongest yet.
There may not be another chance like this!

Callen

You can draw upon the full might of
Elvenlent! Please, just try again!

Rei

...

Rei

It was he and his friends who saved Erden
and every soul who resides here.

Rei

For his sake...let's try one more time!

Callen

Sage Rei...

Callen

Thank you!
