OLDERION FEDERATION - THE RIGHT CHOICE - AQUATIC COVE ENDING

(Fina is walking alone in the Aquatic Cove. She overheard Nichol and Luka talking.)

Nichol: Luka... So you truly intend to...

Luka: Please do not look at me that way, brother. It isn't like you. As the Water Priestess, all I can do is my duty. As for what that duty entails... I have no intention to do anything unless it is completely necessary.

Nichol(!): Eavesdropping, are you? Not a very admirable habit.

Fina: I... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to eavesdrop...

(Nichol turns his back to Fina, nods, and walks away.)

Luka: It's all right, Fina. What is it you came for?

Fina: Oh, um... Lasswell sent me. He wanted me to tell you that we are stopping for the night here.

Luka: Thank you for letting us know. I'll be sure to pass the message along to my brother.

Fina: Um... And I won't tell anyone what I heard, either! Not that I heard anything!

Luka(...): Fina, may I ask you a question?

Fina: What?

Luka: This is a favorite of my brother's. If you could save only one life, or one hundred lives... which would you choose? As for me.. I admire the kind of people who would choose a single life over all others. Those who live here among the waters all feel duty bound to protect our family... which is perhaps the reason I feel so strongly about it. If I had to give up all that I had for the sake of another... I would rather do so for a single special person than for the all the other people in the world. Do you have anyone like that? A special someone?

Fina: A special someone?

Luka: Yes. Someone you love that much.

Fina(!): L-love!? I, um.... I don't really know anything about that. I mean. H-how do you know for sure if you love someone?

Luka: Hee hee.. Don't worry. When it happens, you will know. And it will surely happen, Fina. Someday...

Fina: D-do you really think so? (Someone.... I love...)
