He returns to the Kingdom of Huther and discovers that the princess is still unconscious even though she's free from the ice. Haunted by doubt over his last battle, Elliot sets off on a new journey with nothing but hope to guide him.

After dealing the final blow, Elliot wonders if it was the right thing to do.
His fear turned out to be right. Back at the Castle, Princess Heuria is free from the ice but still won't wake up. Euygene suggests there may have been an error in their methods, another hint that there are other routes to take in the game.
Without any leads now that the sorcerer is eliminated, Elliot sets off from the Kingdom of Huther once more to find another way to lift the curse on the princess and save everyone. This conclusion is marked as the Bronze Ending.
