As Raphtalia's village was desolated beyond recognition, the villagers desperately tried to escape.
Unfortunately, the monsters were merciless; they murdered everyone as if it was the greatest sport in the world.

Knowing that escape was futile, both parents faced Raphtalia and smiled.
They didn't use that time to escape, but to gently stroke her frightened head instead.
