You want me to be your accompanist? Sure thing.

Whether in harpistry or archery, my skill is second to none in all of Minos. Look, this is the medal I won in Hymnic archery. Beautiful, isn't it? Proof of my skills as a harpist? Several troupes have asked me to accompany them, you know~ Hmm... Actually, sit down. I'll play something for you.

Minos is a land of Romance. Day in and day out, you can see philosophers debating, warriors competing, and actors rehearsing grand epics. I will say though, our booze is some dangerous stuff. It's enough to drive one crazy, make one do fearsome things... How do I know? As if I'd tell you!

Tragedies are the most dazzling gems among our grand epics... or so I'd like to say, but Pallas's story is one of great disappointment. There is no greater humiliation than for a hero to remain unsung. 'There must be no flaws in a hero's mythos?' She said that? I simply cannot agree.

From Minos to Bolívar, from Columbia to Leithanien. Each place has its own scenery and its own romance, and it is precisely because of this uniqueness that endless enmity and conflict are inevitable. But just as roses do not lose their beauty simply because they have thorns, this great land is equally worthy of love.

Even the mightiest hero cannot win a war alone. Just as an epic must be passed down to be meaningful, a hero must stand with others to even become a hero. In the past, I always felt as if something was missing from my journey. That 'something' has been found since I came here.

The Supreme One spread an incurable disease across the land, and the Healer was banished for opposing Him. The Healer, stripped of the power of divinity, descended to alleviate humankind's suffering through knowledge... Oh, this isn't Minos mythology or anything, it's just a story I made up.

Is this instrument a bow or a harp? Both~ The techniques behind the two are similar, both requiring discipline and elegance. Like this, gently place your fingertips on the strings, and thoughtfully acquaint yourself with the vibration from your fingertips. Want to give it a try? No, no, not like that. Give me your hand, I'll teach you.

What am I reading? A volume of Victorian love poems. Shall I read some aloud for you? There's no need to be bashful; love and courage are one in the same – they should be red-hot and eye-catching, things that need not be concealed. Come, let's read some poetry together, Doctor.

Doctor, Doctor? Oh, you're asleep, huh? I was thinking about playing a little song for you, oh well...

So this is Rhodes Island, huh? At last, at long last... No, all of this was ordained by fate, so I should be saying, it's about time! You can call me Erato. Is Pallas here, may I ask?

I didn't realize there was still so much to learn when it comes to team combat...

Rankings? Promotions? No, no, heroes ought not focus their sights on such trivial things. But, I will accept this accolade as proof of our mutual trust.

Should I celebrate this occasion by playing a song, or no? Let me think about what to say... Hmm, in the name of the Twelve Heroes of Minos, I dedicate my bowstring to thee, and my harp shall accompany thee into the ages.

Witness the crown jewel of Minoan archery.

Leave everything to me.

My arrow points toward victory.

I shall witness your end.

As you wish.

I will not disappoint.

What wonderful scenery. A fine place for a battle.

Fate guides me here.

One shot, one kill.

Sleep to the sound of my harp. Sleep and death are of a kind.

Listen well to the requiem I play for thee.

Be scattered upon the wind!

Life must eventually end, but legends live on forever. We've done it, Doctor.

A victory worth celebrating. Let us sing! Doctor, did you witness my performance?

Chasing stragglers is scarcely fit for heroes of legend. Let them be.

Hurry, run...! Our story mustn't end here!

Can I play some music here?

Hm?

You seem to be in a good mood today, Doctor. Did you want to share a dance?

Arknights.

Another year, huh...? Though I am still unfamiliar with Rhodes Island's customs, the importance of ceremony cannot be understated. If there is no ceremoniousness to counterbalance the atmosphere of levity, the occasion is forgotten easily. Happy New Year, Doctor. As a present, I'll play a song for you. What would you like to hear?

Doctor, did you want to listen to me sing?

Rhodes Island is a unique place, where people from all over the world come together to fight for a common cause - it's practically something you can only find in mythology. I wish to continue to witness the story of Rhodes Island as it unfolds. Surely, we shall compose the most grand of epics together.
