METHOD ALTERNATION

This song serves as the program that will link a Lv. 9 IPD with Infel Phira, transforming her into the new Queen or Maiden of Mio, which will bestow upon her all of the access permissions and authorizations required to control said Song Server. However, this song also requires the previous Queen to converse with the singer to ascertain if she is fit to become a new Queen, and unless her predecessor acknowledges her as worthy, the song will end in failure.

Cloche sang this Song around 3 years prior to the events of Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica. She was pressured to do it because Alfman and Laude told her that unless she was successful, Metafalica would be impossible to realize, so she was extremely nervous during the entire process. While she sang, she heard Infel's voice asking her why she sought the powers of the Queen, to which Cloche answered she wanted it to save Metafalss. Infel didn't really like to go along with her, but upon sensing her strong and pure feelings, she decided to give her a chance, acknowledging her as her successor Maiden of Mio while at the same time warning her of the responsibilities and duties she would have as the Queen of Infel Phira: that her true power came from the people of Metafalss, and therefore, she should never take it lightly.

Feelings Contained In This Song
Rhaplanca's soul was summoned to the Heavens. So far, she had been reincarnated several times, and each time, she saved the people with powers that exceeded the knowledge of men; but a certain time, she died unable to accomplish anything. And this endlessly repeated, until this time came at last.

The time in which she saved the land that would later on be known as Metafalss from the punishment of the Gods, which also was her final action. And getting recognized by the Lord for these actions, the virtues of Rhaplanca's clean soul raised one step higher. Said Lord was what we know as EXA_PICO.

The Lord talked to Rhaplanca: "Right now, there is no further need for you to purify yourself from the karma you had as a human. Your soul has ascended to a level beyond of the humans. Therefore, you have been bestowed authority to take a decision: how do you intend to live from now on?" Rhaplanca then replied: "I want to be rooted in this land, and to keep its peace, I want to continue watching over it until this world ends" The Lord pondered this for a short instant, but he would consent to this under a condition: "Rhaplanca, you must gain the approval of the lead God of this Planet: Juklizda. And then, you must become one of the Gods that rule over this Planet. Once you do, your soul will be able to transcend from a pure human soul to a soul of the Planet"

Rhaplanca gave her thanks to the Lord, and left for the place where the God of Ar Ciel, Juklizda, lived. There, many of the Gods were gathered.� All of them had their own places where they should be and tasks they should accomplish, but at that moment, they had gathered to see Rhaplanca. Juklizda then spoke to Rhaplanca: "Well then, try to turn the land you love so much: Metafalss, into an abundant and wonderful paradise. If you manage accomplish it, you will be able to walk alongside us."

Rhaplanca then descend upon the land once again. This was the new land of Metafalss, which was now governed by Maoh. As Metafalss was located on a mountain range of great altitude, it was a place in which tall trees couldn't grow and in which no crops could prosper. Rhaplanca planted a tree and tried her best at making it grow. However, due to the harsh weather, it was impossible to raise it and it ended dying away. After several years of trial and error, she finally managed to find a way to raise trees in these high altitudes. Rhaplanca was able to create a forest in them, but said forest perished shortly afterwards. The people began cutting the trees for their lumber. Rhaplanca was greatly dejected, and thus she went to protest about this to the king at the time, Maoh. However, he didn't do anything to compensate her at all.

Although Rhaplanca was greatly saddened by this, she next made an abundant grass field. Then, she dug out a well in it from which it clean water could be drawn. However, that field soon became barren once again, and its water well became dry, all because the people began reaping everything they could find in it. Even the water itself was drawn and taken back to the city until not even a single drop remained. Rhaplanca went once again to protest about this to Maoh, but once again he didn't even bother paying attention to her�

On her way back home, Rhaplanca noticed something while she saw the situation in the city. While before everyone seemed to be extremely tired, now something seemed different. Everyone was exuding feelings of happiness and fulfillment. Upon watching this scene, Rhaplanca was filled with feelings of happiness herself too. At that time, a single feeling had sprouted in her heart.

After this, Rhaplanca continued creating forests, cultivating the land and digging wells. Although they were reaped by the people until nothing was left of them, she still continued making forests in the following years. However, from a certain year on some changes began gradually coming to the people. While so far they had only come to reap the forest, grass field and well, they began coming to the place to give their thanks. They began saying words of gratitude, praying in signal of thankfulness, and they even went and made a cave and deposited offerings on it. Upon seeing this, Rhaplanca was so overjoyed that she began crying.

However, this soon changed to sadness. An small quarrel between the town ended developing into a conflict, and soon their people began waging war against each other. A lot of people began taking part on the war, and thus the forest and the field became battlefields. In order to bring out the enemies from the forest, the people began setting fire to its trees. And then, to kill the people at town, they began putting poison into the well. At once, the forest was turned into a barren area, the well's water became undrinkable, and both the grass field and everything in it withered and died away.

This greatly saddened Rhaplanca. However, she changed her mind immediately and began creating another forest. She purified the water and planted the grass on the field once again, blade by blade. Although it took several years, the land returned to the abundance it used to have long ago. However, the people repeated their wars again. And likewise, they completely burned the forest again. The very forest that Rhaplanca had put all her efforts into making.

The single feeling that had planted itself into Rhaplanca's heart back then had filled it like a large tree. Said feeling was to accept everything, treasure everything, and love everything. No matter what happened, she would accept it. That someone else bared their fangs was a consequence of they going against their own way of action, and that they only loved themselves. These feelings would never waver inside Rhaplanca's heart, and decided to make all her efforts for the sake of this world and the people.

And after several wars, the people ended becoming able to live in peace with each other. They learned from all the wars and famines they went through, and thanks to this, they were able to create a way in which they all would be able to live in peace and happiness. Thus, the king at the time, Maoh, abdicated from his position while at the same time abolishing the monarchical system, establishing the system in which a group of twelve sages who loved peace would rule the land, called the Twelve Sages.

This greatly filled Rhaplanca with happiness. Although she wasn't able to directly thank the people for these feelings, and this meant that she couldn't give anything them in return, the very fact they would continue making this place into a peaceful and abundant land satisfied her enough.

Then, a certain day, the former king Maoh came to ask her something. And then, to give her his gratitude, Maoh spoke honestly the truth to her.� "This was your final test. I am Maoh, and I am also know by the name Buten. Although I went through the cycle of reincarnation several times, I was always alongside you. You have grown a lot, and thus, your soul has become capable of rising to the next rank. Therefore, we have agreed on allowing you to become one of us: one of our colleagues. I am Buten, one of the Wills that preserve and sustain this world."

Rhaplanca then ascended to the Heavens alongside Maoh to become one of the Wills of the World. And thus, Rhaplanca became one of the Gods that rule this world.

Precious light of life.

You have accepted everything, and thus you became one with everything.
