Novio is always sitting somewhere quiet and reading a book. That's not unusual since many others in the Colossus loves reading as well. But what surprised me the most was his book preference... He seems to have a particular fondness for reading obscure and ancient texts, yet he still even manages to feed his rabbit with a carrot while reading intently! But on sunny days, Novio would become more outgoing. He would sit by the window with a smile on his face, drinking tea, and would even invite me for a cup. But after having the first sip, I decided then and there that I would never have another! I mean, this tea is really... really bitter... Oh, but maybe for Novio, it is the taste of history?

So this is the necessary process to join the Colossus? Then I shall change my attire to introduce myself properly. No need to be so formal? So you are just interested in my personal history? Alright, I will make it as casual as I can. I have no memories of my childhood, and when I awoke in that place, my appearance was the same as it is now. The Winter Palace sent someone to take me into the palace when they learned of my awakening. That's when I met Amelie, the first queen I served. In the many years since then, we worked together to resolve countless crises in Northland. No, it's not what you think. I have never had any authority. The only thing I possess and could offer is my wisdom.

I believe this land itself has given me the solution to my lifelong worry. I'm talking, of course, of my birthplace. Northland gave birth to me, so I should give back to it or its creations with the same kindness. You might say that this is a simple worry and wouldn't be an obsession for anyone else. But I am someone who is imprisoned by time, and no one has been able to see time's toll on my body. Thus, I could only watch as wrinkles gradually creep across Amelie's face before she herself was reclaimed by time. Talking to you now, I realize that it was so long ago... I could not accept this separation at that time, so I chose to run away and go back to my birthplace.

I was gripped with trying to figure out the origin and meaning of life at that time and was almost completely overwhelmed by it. But all my endless thinking gave me no answer. It was during this confused state of mind, I saw Amelie again. She was smiling, walking lightly towards me, and she was calling my name... No, it was an earnest request: "Safeguard Northland, and protect the people." The words were light and airy, but the weight they carried chiseled through my brain. I finally let go of my useless flailing against nothingness and returned to reality. This was the responsibility she entrusted to me. So I accepted the royal invitation and returned to the Winter Palace to serve the royal family. As for Her Majesty Bethlehem... She is of Amelie's bloodline, and I do not have any regrets about serving her. Clearly, she is an outstanding queen, and her ancestors must be proud of her.

When the war began, I joined the Coalition for Her Majesty Bethlehem. When I reached Northland, I found that my abilities had diminished, which was peculiar to me. But still, I find it hard to forgo the land scarred from Eclipsite attacks and the hearts of people corrupted with darkness. Lumopolis and Illumina, soldiers from both sides, fought over battle recognition and competed for resources, preventing the Coalition from becoming a true alliance. Thus, after the Darkover Crisis ended, I returned to Northland, for it is the last paradise for Aurorians, and it is my duty to protect this white and beautiful land. In order to safeguard Northland, I'm willing to pay any price. And I mean any price.
