Xepher blog ~ English blog about the famous song Xepher sung by Tatsh for the game DDR ! The artbook, the game, the music, the characters, gallery, download... Learn more about it on this blog ! (:
As noted in "The roots of Xepher", Maya, the creator of the characters of Xepher, published in Japan an artbook which is a short story about the universe of Xepher.
Here is a picture of the first two pages of it:
Unfortunately not found in our regions (even in Japan it is difficult to get it), I can't show you more. However, I can provide here the English translation of the entire artbook.
Rursus : Orologio, what are you doing?
Licht : Why does he look so unhappy?
Killer : The flowers.
Killer : Orologio goes there every day to give the flowers as a present.
Killer : To give to Eculmess, but...
Killer : Shouldn't it have reached by now?
Orologio (thought) : That day, you disappeared forever...
_______________
Orologio : ......Hey, why...?
Killer : A promise with Licht, so...
Killer : You will throw away your life for the woman?
Killer : And you... why are you asking me "why" ?
Killer : Do you want to die with Eculmess?
Orologio (most likely) : You.... I don't know....
Licht : Just give up, Orologio.
Licht : Prove to me that she'll come back to life.
Orologio : I don't need to.
Orologio : There is no substitute for Eculmess-sama.
Licht : ......Oh really?
Licht : Eculmess's role is over.
Licht : Come on, Rursus.
Orologio : It couldn't be...
Licht (most likely) : This child, Rursus...
Licht : ...Is someone who has the purest blood to inherit the next crown
Licht : Do you understand?
Rursus : I'm different from lowly things like you.
Orologio : The child.... just where did she come from...?
Licht : The past ...... The distant, distant past ......
Licht : You were born long ago.
Licht : Killer got the light that several hundred years ago, I searched for, but could not find.
Licht : I was confused about where the light was hiding, whether it had obtained existence.
Licht : You're starting to look sleepy, Orologio. [Licht means that Orologio looks like he's not paying attention]
Eligible : No...... Don't you understand?
Eligible : The earth is already harmed.
Eligible : There isn't a world where humans can live in, with time stopped and without light.
Eligible : Snow covered the earth and brought death with it.
Eligible : What if...... there aren't any people who are still alive now......
Eligible : In her comatose state, Eculmess could not use the sword in the sky's power to protect the earth.
Eligible : The clouds have all disappeared......
Orologio (thought) : I knew......
Eligible : How do you intend to deal with the world?
Eligible : Will you let it become extinct for Eculmess' sake?
Orologio (thought) : I knew!
Orologio : Eculmess-sama......
Rursus : I'm here now......
Eculmess : Come...... Rursus.
Eculmess : Good girl. [lit. Good child]
Orologio : Eculmess-sama......?
Licht : What are you...!?
Killer : Take a good look, Licht.
Licht : W......What......?
Orologio : Eculmess-sama!
Licht : How did this happen......?
Licht : What are you planning......Eculmess......
Eculmess : I made Rursus the next Queen.
Licht : hahahaha
[judging from the way its written, its Licht's "crazy" laugh]
Eculmess : Licht...... I'm sorry I didn't tell you......
Licht : ...... You did it without telling me, huh.... more like you tricked me......
Licht : Farewell, Eculmess.
Eculmess : I have to go to earth.
Eculmess : There is a child waiting for me when I come back to earth......
Orologio (thought) : Why?
Killer : Eculmess...... are you going to die?
Eculmess : No.
Orologio (thought) : That's enough...... I don't want to hurt this person......
Eculmess : Rursus, listen to what Licht says.
Eculmess : You must lead us well......
Eculmess : Killer, contact Licht and then leave.
Eculmess : As for Rursus...... this is my last request.
Rursus : Alright.
Orologio (thought) : Why?
Eculmess : Orologio...... please stop time for me.
Eculmess : It is your ability, I can't go down to earth without your help.
Orologio : N-no......
Orologio : I won't do it......
Eculmess (thought) : Why is your hand shaking?
Eculmess : Don't cry.
Eculmess : Orologio was always a crybaby.
Eculmess : You gave me flowers the first time we met.
Eculmess (thought) : The morning when I first became queen, that's when.
Eculmess : Are you sleepy?
Orologio : Yes.
Eculmess (though) : It was a true red color when ......
Eculmess (though) : ......you suddenly arrived, out of breath.
Orologio : Me! I became a knight!
Orologio : I became a knight to protect Eculmess-sama!
Eculmess (thought) : Always give me your protection.
Eculmess : This seems to be the rare "burohoozu"...... I'm so happy......
Eculmess : If Rursus becomes Queen, flowers will surely bloom in this sky again.
Eculmess (thought) : This person should be fiercer, too...
Orologio : Every day......!
Orologio : To give flowers as a present......
Orologio : Yes, of course......
Orologio : Definately, I'll give them to you for sure......
Eculmess : I'll been waiting.
Eculmess : Please do it now......
Orologio : On the earth, rest in peace for all of eternity......
(a really thanks to i2lovedeviantart for the traduction) : Orologio, what are you doing?
