Alastor grabbed Makoto as she slumped and gently lay her down on a nereby couch. "I'm afraid, child...That's not your decision to make...It's his...You must be sacrificed, as a Summoner, to destroy Raine, unless you can find that alternate way to avoid losing yourself and you friends...As for himself, Seifer...He lost his mother at a very young age, when he was 4 years old. She had gone to a backwater country, and was beaten and raped. When she came back, Seifer and Payne were devastated. It was then that Payne began teaching Seifer how to wield a sword..."
"I'm afraid the horrible-ness of it all was too much for Cecilia...She took her own life, and Seifer came home from school and was too late to stop her. He could only witness her do it. He told me and Payne that her last words were 'I'm coming to you, Sei.'...Sei was the petname she used for Seifer. The doctors took a look and discovered that her mind had caved. She had gone insane, and her mind made her think her husband and son were dead...So she wanted to join them...Seifer's been suffering with the guilt ever since...He never spoke, for 10 years. Then, at the age of 15, he and Payne moved to Asgard, to be closer to me and Kyoko, your mother. We were the best, and only friends that Payne had. He counted on us to babysit Seifer every now and then..."
"Then it happened...Kyoko was slected by the twins to become a Summoner, and Payne to be a Paladin...I was to accompany them...Sadly, our Summoner gave up her life without hesitation, saying that if her child died, they would meet in the Hall of Sanctuary, where the twins would watch over them forever. As for Payne, he merely regretted having not told his son more often that he loved him...I'm afraid there is no way to rid the world of Raine without sacrifice...That I know of..."
