Volume 1 Epilogue Part 1 - Zack

The return journey was sombre. Pende didn't speak much, focusing on speed as he ran carrying the still unconscious Enea. As for Zack, he was still coming to terms with the entire Odania episode.

We overthrew a monarch!

The bigger effect on Zack particularly though was General Brunaulf's death, considering the very direct part he played in it. It was the first time he had ever directly killed a human, and Zack knew that the General's dying face would be etched in his memory forever.

But the bigger death of course was that of the longtime tyrant Fermi Ja. Zack had looked back several times towards the town of Odania as he and Pende made their return.

Will she be up for it? Does the Emperor Knight believe her?

From the little Zack knew of Isadora Ja, he was inclined towards the latter. But he couldn't forget the chills, the shiver, the casualness with which the Emperor Knight had approached and talked with them.
