You see, things had been a bit different in the Ever After lately. Tasked by the Blacksmith, they were given a somewhat ambiguous quest. "Find what feels wrong." When asked where to look, the Blacksmith simply replied, "Do what your heart desires."
Excuse me? Excuse me? Have you seen anything out of the ordinary?
もしもし、もしもし? 何か普通と違うものを見てませんか?

They were somewhat sad to be ignored, but also marveled at the Gem's concentration. You see, the Gem's once had a hero that helped them day in and day out, but because of that, they thought not of themselves.
"Oh, we do not mean to be rude." "We are just busy.", said nearby Gem. "The more that we help ourselves now, the more we can help others in the future." "I, however, am currently resting, an important part of physical activity, so I can assist you."
"It makes me happy to make you happy!" the Gem exclaimed. "It makes me less happy to tell you that we have seen no ordinary or out of ordinary things of late. Just ourselves."
Did something bad happen here? I hope everyone is okay.
何か悪いことが起きたのかな? みんな無事だといいけど。

"Yes", they reply, "But we've all come together. And because of that, we're stronger." Finding nothing wrong, they were somewhat discouraged. Their heart led them nowhere.
Guided not by their heart, but an Afteran in need, they entered the empty Crimson Keep. Typically ruled over by the loyal guards of the Red Prince, no such army appeared to be present.
The prince smiled. "I wonder..." "Please, sit. Let's play a game."
プリンスは笑顔で答えます。「どうなのだろうな。さあ、座ってくれたまえ。私とゲームをしよう」。

"As do I.", the Prince interrupted, "And if you beat me, I'll happily help you with yours."
その言葉を遮り、「私もだ」とプリンスは言いました。「もし君が勝てば、喜んで君の役目を手伝おう」。

Hmm. That doesn't seem very fair. What if my purpose was to win, too?
うーん、それってちょっとヘンじゃないかな。もし僕の役目も勝つことだったらどうするの?

What if it doesn't have to be? I'm still new here, but I've met loads of Afterans and people that have grown and found new things to do, even without going to the tree. Who knows, maybe you could teach others to win.
