Hah! Hiyaaaaah! Oh yeah, I'm in perfect form today. My axe feels light as a feather! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} ...... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, if it ain't Cleo! Time for lunch already? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} We need to talk. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Uh oh. Ya got yer serious face on. Did I eat all the ham again? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You were appointed as Saint Lotier's lieutenant by your father, yes? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} That's my understandin' of it, yeah. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} And the prince also asked you to be a commander in our forces. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Yep. Normally a serious job like that would get a big fat &quot;no way&quot; from me, but I said I'd do it, so I been trainin' and— <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Ranzal, listen to me. I know it's important to refine your combat skills, but I think you should focus on something else first. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Uh...like what? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Your appearance. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ya kiddin' me? Look at this bod! I'm hotter than two rats sleepin' in a wool sock! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I am referring to your ATTIRE, you cad. If you mean to take these positions, you need clothing suited to your rank. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I dunno. I'm pretty comfy in this getup. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} And yet there will be occasions where your current mode of dress is not...suitable. If you appeared at an official function dressed like that, for example? You wouldn't just be shaming yourself— you would be shaming your father and Euden as well. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Bluuurgh... <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Well, I have said my piece. I will let you decide how to proceed. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, hell. Probably can't be showin' up in front of a buncha blue-bloods in this. Thing is, I got nothin' else to wear. ...But I know just the guy to talk to! Hey, Malka! I need a favor! <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Let me guess: You want your armor repaired again. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nope. I actually need some NEW armor. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Do go on. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Well, if it isn't Ranzal! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Heya, Ramona! Didn't see ya there. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} I just popped by to get input on some materials. Couldn't help overhearing you're looking for new armor? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} You know it. I'm movin' up in the world, so I need me some better duds. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} If that's what you are looking for, you have come to the right man. So then! What kind of armor do you seek? I will take any and all requests. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Gimme somethin' sturdy AND flashy! Like a butterfly with nunchucks, yeah? I wanna be covered from head to toe in metal so thick it'll repel anything. But THEN I want ya to use five colors of dragon scales so shiny they blind anybody within, say, a mile radius. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} This new position of yours must be... quite something. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I just need all them fancy folks to think I know what the hell I'm doin'. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} You FOOL! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Did somebody else just walk in here, or were ya yellin' at me? <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Heed me well, Ranzal... I've repaired enough armor in my day; I know how people fight in it. You, for example, don't use heavy armor. Instead, you wear only a minimum amount of metal to cover particular areas. That allows you to approach enemies quickly and wield your heavy weapon with speed and grace. That's your fighting style, correct? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I knew ya knew about this stuff, but I didn't know ya KNEW knew. ...Ya know? <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Armor exists to be worn. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Indeed—and I would shame myself and all craftsman if I made armor that was inappropriate for its wearer. Even if said armor was purely ornamental and used for diplomatic purposes. Yet here you are asking for nonsense like head-to-toe armor and dragon scales. The materials are one thing, but I simply refuse to make anything that will hinder your movement. Would you really turn your back on everything you've stood for until now? Are you going to use your new position as an excuse to laze about in the rearguard and let others fight for you? Because I'd rather die than forge armor for a fighter like that. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} You shut yer damn mouth! I ain't some fancy noble what's gonna sit around eatin' fish egg sandwiches or whatever while my men fight'n die! <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} No, that doesn't sound like you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Yeah, well...sorry 'bout all the yellin'. Ya just got under my skin for a second. I don't blame ya for gettin' angry, Malka. I see where yer comin' from. Anyway, just forget I asked about any of this, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Hold on. I haven't finished. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Muh? <br /> {{ST|Malka}} If you AREN'T planning to turn your back on your style, that changes everything. You require armor beautiful enough to fit your new position, but functional enough not to limit your movement. Do I understand that correctly? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Yeah, I s'pose. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Then I will make you the finest armor I can that fits those requirements. My only condition is that you leave the specifics to me. Are we agreed? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hell yeah, we're agreed! I ain't much for thinkin' about stuff anyway. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Then please look forward to the results. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Oh, I'm gonna! <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Sounds like we have our work cut out for us. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} I take it I can count on you to help with the materials? <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Of course—but in return, I want a favor. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Go on. <br /> &lt;center&gt;''Some time later...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hey! Is my armor really done?! <br /> {{ST|Malka}} It certainly is. Take a look. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} This is even better than I thought! Can I try it on? <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Of course. Let me help you into it. Hmm... Looks like the size is just right. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Yeah, it don't feel tight at all. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Heh. I see you found it already. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Whatcha think, Ramona? Lookin' good? <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} It's not as flashy as your first request, but I think it really suits you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hey, I said I was sorry about that whole &quot;blindin' dragon scale&quot; thing. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} And I am only teasing you. Anyway, why don't you take this to go with it? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...Wait. A sword? <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Think of it as a congratulations gift from me for your new position. Don't worry—it is simple and elegant, and will fit your style of combat to a T. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Huh... Feels like it's almost an extension of my arm. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} I'm glad you like it. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} She helped me with all the materials needed to craft your armor. But she also proposed making that sword, which I helped her craft. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Man, I really owe ya both. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Oh, but we weren't the only ones who aided in your request. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ya weren't? <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} My sisters helped to forge the sword. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Also, your armor is based on a design from Alberia's founding. Nicolas and Althemia dug up the information on that front. Oh, and Francesca tracked down a rare metal used to fortify the armor. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I never would'a guessed... <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Just about everyone in the castle said they wanted to help. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Even Euden chipped in. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, I'll be damned... <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} That's how much everyone here trusts you. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} So you had better live up to those lofty expectations, sir. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ya know I will! Ya put yer hearts into makin' this stuff, and I'm gonna use it to open up a great future for New Alberia! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode2Title=Honest Strength<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Raaaagh! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} The heck is up with these guys?! Why do they keep targeting you?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Maybe my new armor just stands out! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} This is no time for jokes, idiot! You're surrounded! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Don't worry—my armor can handle it! Their attacks ain't even gonna scratch it! Have some'a this, chumps! ...See? Piece'a cake. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Crap, Ranzal. I can't believe how many of 'em you just took out. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} With this new sword and armor, they didn't stand a chance! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Is it just me, or are you moving faster than you did before? Is that armor lighter or something? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} If anything, it's a bit heavier. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Then why are you faster now? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Partially because this was specially crafted for me, I think. But also because of muscle power! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...Come again? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} When armor's heavy, ya gotta bulk up so ya don't get all sluggish, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I totally do not follow you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, I AM faster, right? So my muscles musta leveled-up! And I'm gonna keep trainin' until they're the most muscly muscles they can be! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Look, I know you've got new armor and all, but don't you think you're getting a bit TOO gung-ho here? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nah, this is how it should be. I'm gonna be reborn! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Re...born? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Before we met, I lived as a mercenary. I did whatever it took to win. I'm too ashamed to even talk about some'a the stuff what I done. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, but isn't that just what a mercenary has to do? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sure—but that kind of underhanded strength is somethin' I wanna get away from in my new life. There's only one way to get real strength, and that's to train like a madman. It's like bein' on a hill. If ya wanna reach the top, ya just gotta keep walkin'. So that's what I'm gonna do. And someday, I'll be reborn with good, honest strength that fits my new role in the world. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's really cool, man. You sound like a real leader! I always used to see you as my dumb pal, but now it's like you're...shining. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nothin' shines brighter than a guy workin' to better himself. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I wanna be just like you! How can I be the next Ranzal? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Train well, eat well, and sleep well. Those're the big three. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm gonna get on that right away! ...Speaking of, I'm kinda hungry. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} No surprise; we worked hard today. Let's get back to the castle, yeah? I bet Cleo's got grub waitin' for us. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I think the eating is going to be my favorite part of your big three. We're baaaack! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Two hungry guys, comin' through! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I'm sorry, but the food isn't ready. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nooooo! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Yes, I know it's terribly disappointing. If you are going to keel over, try not to do so on my clean floor. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hey, THIS looks ready! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} No snacking! I must ensure that everyone gets a fair and equal portion. So if you eat so much as a bite, that is ALL you will have today! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} But we been fightin' fiends all day! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I said no. Any further interruptions will simply delay everyone's food. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} C'mon! Just one bite! FEED ME NOOOW! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Oh, for the goddess's sake! Are you FIVE?! I thought you had grown up, Ranzal, but perhaps I was mistaken. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} What the heck, Ranzal...? What happened to the man dreaming of good, honest strength? What happened to the guy I wanted to be like? &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode3Title=Negotiatin'<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; ''Ranzal has led a small force to the border of the Dyrenell Empire. The prince sent them there in order to rescue a number of civilian refugees.''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Commander Ranzal, I have a report! The refugees are being held up at a Dyrenell checkpoint and can't reach us. Also, our scouts report that the enemy numbers eighty troops in all. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} They've got more men—but I'M here, which means we can still take 'em. Normally that's what I'd do, but... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} What's wrong, sir? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} The guys at the checkpoint ain't attackin' the civilians, which means we can't just go chargin' in there ourselves. Maybe this is a chance to show off my newfound diplomacy! <br /> {{ST|Man}} Let us through! We seek refuge with Prince Euden! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Stand down, all of you. The man you speak of is no longer a legitimate prince of this nation. He is a filthy traitor, nothing more. And if you run to him, you will be branded traitors also! <br /> {{ST|Man}} No! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Then go back to where you came from before I clap the lot of you in irons! <br /> {{ST|Man}} But our village is being taxed too heavily for us to make a living there! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Let none say I did not give fair warning. ...Men! Arrest this rabble! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} HALT! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Huh? Who the devil are you?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ho there! I am Commander Ranzal of the New Alberian Army, and I have come thence and yon to make with thee a parlay most heretofore! Thus and verily, His Highness the Prince did decree we hasten to save these wretches, therefore have we hither come to thee to grant forthwith succor! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} *blink* <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Uh oh. He's gone quiet. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} I, uh, don't think he understood you, sir. You sort of...mangled that. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Shut up! I ain't used to this kinda thing! Ah, hell with it. I'm just gonna talk like I always do. <br /> {{ST|Man}} Are you here to save us? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sure am, my man! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Fool! Do you think us so weak that we will hand these people over at your say-so? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} That's why we're gonna negotiate. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} I do not bandy words with traitors. To arms, men! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Should we do the same, sir? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} No. Keep yer weapons sheathed. C'mon, now. We got no need for weapons and fightin'. Let's talk this thing out. Ain't nobody wins if we all shut each other's eyes, yeah? ...But if ya won't negotiate, I'll beat ya senseless until ya DO! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} How can a man so vastly outnumbered project such confidence...? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Uh, sir? I thought you said we were going to negotiate peacefully. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nnngh! Sorry! Can't be losin' my cool like that when I'm representin' New Alberia. Look, these people wanna come to our country, and I think you should let 'em. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} You think we should hand over imperial citizens to an army of traitors? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, they clearly ain't happy to be in their current position. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} If they have quarrel with the Empire, I shall relay that to my superiors. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Look, this probably ain't somethin' a negotiator should be sayin'... But the Empire don't seem like a place what's gonna take complaints seriously. Ya REALLY wanna make 'em go back home when they clearly don't want to? <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Enough! I will not stand here and be lectured by the likes of you! The rebellion of you treasonous snakes is what divided the country in the first— <br /> {{ST|???}} Raaaaagh! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Wh-what was that?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Fiends—and they're close. <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Grrrr... <br /> {{ST|Man}} F-fiends! We've got fiends! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Looks like we were yellin' a little too loudly there. <br /> {{ST|Man}} Eeeek! Help! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} No way we can handle this many on our own. So the only way outta this... Hey, Imperials! Give us a hand! We'll beat these fiends back together! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} I take no orders from rebel scum! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Is that REALLY yer top priority right now?! We're talkin' about protectin' yer people, so drop the attitude and lend a hand. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} I will do no such thing, dog! My soldiers and I can handle these fiends unaided. Get into formation, men! We will defeat these beasts! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Sir! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Eh, all's well that ends well, I guess. But now that they're busy... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Understood, sir! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Good man. Meanwhile, I'm gonna help the imperials with these fiends. *pant* *pant* Whew! We did it. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Though I admit your assistance was welcome, I do not understand why you came to our aid. Regardless, you have my thanks for helping to save our countrymen. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Don't worry about it. Er, so where ARE those countrymen of yers, anyway? <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} They're not... Where did they go?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Guess they ran off durin' the battle. Which means we got nothin' else to talk about here. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} You... You deliberately allowed them to escape during the battle! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ain't sayin' I did...but ain't sayin' I didn't, neither. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} I suppose you unleashed those fiends upon us as well! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Usin' fiends is what YOU do, not us. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} ...... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Anyway, see ya. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Should we not have captured him, sir? <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} We were in no position for another fight after the casualties we took earlier. Besides, you saw how courageously he fought those fiends—I'm not certain we could have defeated him even if we all took him on as one. The sly devil knew just how to use the situation to get the result he wanted. He's obviously very experienced. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sorry for the wait. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Sir! You're all right! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Glad yer all alive and kickin', too. <br /> {{ST|Man}} Thank you for saving us, sir! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hell, we were just gonna keep goin' in circles if we kept talkin'. Looks like we actually owe a debt to the fiends for once. Bwa ha ha! All right, let's get back ta the castle. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Yes, sir! <br /> {{ST|Boy}} Wait! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} What is it, kid? <br /> {{ST|Boy}} You must be really strong to take on those fiends, mister. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sure, I'm strong. <br /> {{ST|Boy}} Then why didn't you just beat up those soldiers in the first place? Then we could've come back to your castle without all the trouble. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Because we had to prove somethin'. <br /> {{ST|Boy}} I don't understand. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} We had to prove that New Alberia is doin' the right thing. <br /> {{ST|Boy}} I still don't understand. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} We're fightin' for people's happiness. We do it because we believe it's the right thing to do. But ya need more than just strength to prove yer on the side of right. So that's why we try to talk to our enemies instead'a just crackin' skulls. We want everyone to know we ain't just gonna force folks to do what we want. <br /> {{ST|Boy}} Oh. ...Okay! <br /> {{ST|Man}} I want to live in your country all the more if it contains people like you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, yer welcome to do so. <br /> {{ST|Man}} Thank you so much! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I get the feelin' you ain't the only folks what are gonna want to come here. But don't worry... New Alberia will never turn its back on people in need! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode4Title=The Gallant Commander<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Fiend}} Roooooar! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} No matter how much we attack this thing, it doesn't slow him at all! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} This is a real tough one. Everyone, keep your distance! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} If we let up, it'll just start healin'. We need to strike now! Take THIS! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaaaagh! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} No! It's trying to run away! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Not on my watch! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} What are you doing, Ranzal?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} This thing ain't gettin' away! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaaagh! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Gah! My back! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Ranzal, you're hurt! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Are you all right?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Don't worry about me—just focus on our ugly friend over there! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} It's stopped moving! Everyone, NOW! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Take THIS! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Give up and die already! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Rghh... <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Goodness, that was quite the ordeal. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Whew! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Show me your back, Ranzal. You clearly are in need of healing. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Thanks, Cleo. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Ranzal, why do you always INSIST on charging in alone like that?! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} It always ends up with you almost getting killed! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} It would'a got away otherwise! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} That is no excuse to run off unaided. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, there's no need to be so harsh. I mean, we all know how strong he is. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That may be so—but we're still going to worry about him. It's what friends do. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sorry, guys. I just never wanna miss a chance when it shows itself. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's all well and good when you're fighting alongside us. But you're a commander now. A leader. If you run off alone like you just did, it's going to unsettle your troops. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Guess I didn't think of that. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You should learn how to work WITH your troops when you're out there with them. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Yeah, man. It's called COMMANDING. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} If you wish people to obey and respect you, you must be more composed. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} All right, all right! I get it. I'll work on improvin' as a commander. Although I got no idea how to start doin' that, if I'm honest... Is bein' a commander about orderin' people around all dignified? Take up your weapons! CHAAAARGE! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Yes, Commander! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Right away, Commander! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Charge! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...Nope. This ain't us. Maybe somethin' friendlier? Let's do this, guys! PARTY TIME! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Woohoo! I'm gonna fire at will! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Anyone in our way is gonna pay! Whoop-a-dee-doooooo! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nah, this ain't right either. I need to be more calculatin'. See the big picture, like. Soldiers on the right, stand by! Halt the enemy vanguard in its tracks! Soldiers on the left, flank the enemy! They won't see you coming while they deal with the troops in front of them! And once they're surrounded, we spring the ambush! <br /> {{ST|Adjutant}} We've cornered our enemies like rats, sir. What are your orders? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} We're gonna... Weee're gonnaaa... CHAAAAAARGE! <br /> {{ST|Adjutant}} C-Commander?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...Wait, no. That ain't a time for a charge. Damn it! No matter how much I think about this, I can't find the answer. I feel like I've thought about it too much and now nothin' makes sense. Damn it! What's the most &quot;commander&quot; thing for me to do here?! <br /> {{ST|Zacharias}} Think on it. Think on what you—and only you—can do in this situation. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Why do pops's words have to come into my head at a time like this? ...Wait a second. What can I do that no one else can? There HAS to be somethin'... ...... Hey, that's IT! Hate to admit I owe my pops for somethin', but I guess I do for this. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} We're movin' out, Ranzal! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} What is it? Fiends?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You know it. Sounds like it's a type like that one we took down earlier. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I'm on the way. Now I'm gonna show everyone how the new Ranzal commands! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Grrrr... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} This is the same kind of fiend as the one we fought last time. I know that you're all exhausted, but we need to strike right away. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hang on a sec, guys. I'm sorry for runnin' off on my own in that last fight. So that's why I'm gonna tell ya in advance what I'm doin' this time. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} All right. We're counting on you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Okay. *cough* Well, here's the plan... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Go on... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} We do the same thing as last time. I'm gonna charge in and grab 'em, then all of you attack! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} ...What? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I'm countin' on ya. Now let's move out! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} He's seriously just gonna do the exact same thing as last time? <br /> {{ST|Notte}} ...Yep. He is. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Never mind that now—just follow him! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Calling this a plan is an insult to the very concept of planning. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I don't have the faintest idea what that man is thinking anymore. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Whew! That takes care of that. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Ranzal! What were you thinking?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Thanks a million, everybody! That went off without a hitch. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You mean your &quot;plan&quot;? The one where you simply charge off like a madman? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} That's the one! See, I knew that if I charged, I'd draw all the attention. With my strength—and this armor—I can handle whatever a fiend throws at me. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} And how is this ANY different than what you were doing before? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Honestly? It ain't. I know I'm a commander now, but I gotta keep doin' what I do best. And that means usin' this bod like a giant battering ram. They look at me, then you guys wallop 'em while they're distracted. Perfect, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Do you honestly believe the job of a commander is to serve as cannon fodder? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} 'Course not! I got plenty of other skills I can bring to bear in a fight. I'm a former merc! I hear what's goin' on in villages all across the continent, I know about fiends and how they live, I can read the flow of battle... So who better to guide you guys on all this stuff than a seasoned pro like me? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I suppose we have been saved by your judgment a number of times. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, Ranzal's got us out of more pinches than a crab-claw buffet. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I know what I can do—I just had to work out how to use those skills for the good of everyone. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Still... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} If I put myself in harm's way, my troops will believe in me and stand by me. See? I ain't just doin' stuff without thinking—there's a reason for it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} So this is how you're going to command? ...All right. I'm good with it. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Thanks, Euden. Givin' orders from the back just don't suit me. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I suppose that means we're forever doomed to worry, but I can't say your arguments are unreasonable. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} So in the end, we are right back where we started. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} This is SO Ranzal. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Bwaa ha ha! Sorry if ya thought I was gonna make some huge change. But I want everyone at my back while I wallop chumps from the front. &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode5Title=Looking to the Future<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Today's yer birthday, right, Pops? When I was worryin' about how a leader should fight, it was yer words what first popped into my head. So...thanks for that. Still, bein' the big cheese is a lot of pressure, yeah? This has made me realize just how amazing you are for leadin' a whole city. Ya trained me hard since I was a kid, but it was so I could do the same thing. Too bad I ended up gettin' sick of it all and takin' off! But everything ya taught me stuck in my noggin all this time—and it's helpin' now. <br /> {{ST|Zacharias}} I'm impressed. I see you've broadened your horizons a little. You used to pay no attention to your surroundings, but it looks like those days are behind you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...Nah. I still got a long way to go. But I think I finally see where I need to be headin'. I know what I can do—and should do. And to do that, I'm gonna... Euden. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hey, Ranzal. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Heya! Cleo made cookies, so we were thinking of...having...some...and... Wow. You look REALLY serious. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Can I borrow ya for a second here, Euden? <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Okay, now you look SUPER serious. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Has something happened? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Just come with me. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ...All right. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Hang on just a hot minute, bub! What's going on here?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Draw yer sword. ...And I mean business. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Ranzal, I don't know what this is about, but I don't want to fight you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Enough talkin'! Fight! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Eeek! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Whoa! That was a serious blow! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Stop it! Stop it right now! What's WRONG with you, man?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Stay outta this, Notte—or you'll be next. We last fought back in the forest, yeah? On the day we met? Show me how much you've grown! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You're serious about this, aren't you? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ask my sword how serious I am! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hiyaaah! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} If that's the best ya can do, yer pactbound dragons must be nothin' more than dogs! An ancient kingdom falls, an empire takes its place, and a new kingdom rises to meet that challenge... We're livin' in some excitin' times! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} There's nothing exciting about people suffering at the hands of fiends and war. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Every man dreams of bein' king at least once in his life. But you? You might just have the power to make it happen for real. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ...... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} And if I use the chaos to my advantage, I could rise to power myself! Maybe I should march into Saint Lotier and take it from my pops... ...Or maybe I'll just overthrow you and steal THIS country instead! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} What?! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} DUDE! We built this country together, remember?! It's full of everyone's hopes and dreams! Are you just forgetting all that?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I won't hand this country over to you. I'm going to lead everyone here so we can defeat the Empire together. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} If you won't hand it over, maybe I'll just take it! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You can try! Haaaaaah! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} STOOOOP! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ...... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ...Heh. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...Hah. Bwaaaa ha ha ha! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Ha ha ha ha! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Bwa ha ha! Okay, what kinda idiot laughs in the middle of a deadly duel? <br /> {{ST|Notte}} I am SO confused right now. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You were holding back. Weren't you? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} You could tell? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Yep. Don't get me wrong—there was a lot of power behind your sword. But we've fought side by side, so I know you're capable of far more. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Soooooo...this WASN'T serious? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nah, not really. I thought I'd try to train up the prince here like my pops used to do with me. But I already ran away from that once— should'a known I wasn't cut out for it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} So that's why you were acting so strangely. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Fat lotta good it did, though. This'll teach me to think before I just run off and... do stuff. Sorry, Euden. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Grrrr! I was WORRIED, you dummy! You're just a big dumb stupidhead uglyface JERKSTORE! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sorry, Notte. I won't ever do it again. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} *sniff* Promise? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Yeah. I promise. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Fine. Then I guess I forgive you. ...But you're still a jerkstore. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Heh. Thanks. Guess I'm not cut out to be the great man my pops is. Hell, when I tried, all I ended up doin' was makin' Notte mad at me. The sons of Saint Lotier are meant to live by the sea and with it... It's a phrase everyone born in Saint Lotier knows. All of her citizens have a duty to protect their country and that sea—and it's a duty we're grateful to have. Guess I turned my back on that. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm not so sure. You may have left your people behind, but looking at you right now reminds me of the vast sea we saw from your home. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} So yer sayin' the spirit of the sea lives on in ol' Ranzal? Well, that's swell—but the country I'm gonna protect is the one with you in it! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I find that very reassuring. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} This land is full of sufferin' people, and you need to do somethin' about it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I know. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} But if you become king, I know you can turn all of that pain into happiness. Forget the sea—you can support the world! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I don't know about all that... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} It'll be fine so long as I'm with ya! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} And don't forget Notte— your bestest friend ever! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Everyone in this castle is pinnin' their hopes on you. Don't forget that. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I know—and I will work hard to meet their expectations. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} But before that... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Yes? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, I guess you and me still gotta work on surpassin' our pops. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You're right. Let's combine our strength to make a country both our fathers can be proud of! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Bwaaaa ha ha! Ain't that a thing! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> }}<br /> [[Category:To-Do Adventurer Voice Lines]]</div>

Time for lunch already? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} We need to talk. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Uh oh. Ya got yer serious face on. Did I eat all the ham again? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You were appointed as Saint Lotier's lieutenant by your father, yes? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} That's my understandin' of it, yeah. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} And the prince also asked you to be a commander in our forces. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Yep. Normally a serious job like that would get a big fat &quot;no way&quot; from me, but I said I'd do it, so I been trainin' and— <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Ranzal, listen to me. I know it's important to refine your combat skills, but I think you should focus on something else first. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Uh...like what? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Your appearance. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ya kiddin' me? Look at this bod! I'm hotter than two rats sleepin' in a wool sock! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I am referring to your ATTIRE, you cad. If you mean to take these positions, you need clothing suited to your rank. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I dunno. I'm pretty comfy in this getup. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} And yet there will be occasions where your current mode of dress is not...suitable. If you appeared at an official function dressed like that, for example? You wouldn't just be shaming yourself— you would be shaming your father and Euden as well. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Bluuurgh... <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Well, I have said my piece. I will let you decide how to proceed. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, hell. Probably can't be showin' up in front of a buncha blue-bloods in this. Thing is, I got nothin' else to wear. ...But I know just the guy to talk to! Hey, Malka! I need a favor! <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Let me guess: You want your armor repaired again. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nope. I actually need some NEW armor. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Do go on. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Well, if it isn't Ranzal! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Heya, Ramona! Didn't see ya there. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} I just popped by to get input on some materials. Couldn't help overhearing you're looking for new armor? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} You know it. I'm movin' up in the world, so I need me some better duds. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} If that's what you are looking for, you have come to the right man. So then! What kind of armor do you seek? I will take any and all requests. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Gimme somethin' sturdy AND flashy! Like a butterfly with nunchucks, yeah? I wanna be covered from head to toe in metal so thick it'll repel anything. But THEN I want ya to use five colors of dragon scales so shiny they blind anybody within, say, a mile radius. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} This new position of yours must be... quite something. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I just need all them fancy folks to think I know what the hell I'm doin'. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} You FOOL! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Did somebody else just walk in here, or were ya yellin' at me? <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Heed me well, Ranzal... I've repaired enough armor in my day; I know how people fight in it. You, for example, don't use heavy armor. Instead, you wear only a minimum amount of metal to cover particular areas. That allows you to approach enemies quickly and wield your heavy weapon with speed and grace. That's your fighting style, correct? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I knew ya knew about this stuff, but I didn't know ya KNEW knew. ...Ya know? <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Armor exists to be worn. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Indeed—and I would shame myself and all craftsman if I made armor that was inappropriate for its wearer. Even if said armor was purely ornamental and used for diplomatic purposes. Yet here you are asking for nonsense like head-to-toe armor and dragon scales. The materials are one thing, but I simply refuse to make anything that will hinder your movement. Would you really turn your back on everything you've stood for until now? Are you going to use your new position as an excuse to laze about in the rearguard and let others fight for you? Because I'd rather die than forge armor for a fighter like that. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} You shut yer damn mouth! I ain't some fancy noble what's gonna sit around eatin' fish egg sandwiches or whatever while my men fight'n die! <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} No, that doesn't sound like you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Yeah, well...sorry 'bout all the yellin'. Ya just got under my skin for a second. I don't blame ya for gettin' angry, Malka. I see where yer comin' from. Anyway, just forget I asked about any of this, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Hold on. I haven't finished. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Muh? <br /> {{ST|Malka}} If you AREN'T planning to turn your back on your style, that changes everything. You require armor beautiful enough to fit your new position, but functional enough not to limit your movement. Do I understand that correctly? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Yeah, I s'pose. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Then I will make you the finest armor I can that fits those requirements. My only condition is that you leave the specifics to me. Are we agreed? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hell yeah, we're agreed! I ain't much for thinkin' about stuff anyway. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Then please look forward to the results. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Oh, I'm gonna! <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Sounds like we have our work cut out for us. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} I take it I can count on you to help with the materials? <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Of course—but in return, I want a favor. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Go on. <br /> &lt;center&gt;''Some time later...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hey! Is my armor really done?! <br /> {{ST|Malka}} It certainly is. Take a look. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} This is even better than I thought! Can I try it on? <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Of course. Let me help you into it. Hmm... Looks like the size is just right. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Yeah, it don't feel tight at all. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Heh. I see you found it already. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Whatcha think, Ramona? Lookin' good? <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} It's not as flashy as your first request, but I think it really suits you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hey, I said I was sorry about that whole &quot;blindin' dragon scale&quot; thing. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} And I am only teasing you. Anyway, why don't you take this to go with it? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...Wait. A sword? <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Think of it as a congratulations gift from me for your new position. Don't worry—it is simple and elegant, and will fit your style of combat to a T. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Huh... Feels like it's almost an extension of my arm. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} I'm glad you like it. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} She helped me with all the materials needed to craft your armor. But she also proposed making that sword, which I helped her craft. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Man, I really owe ya both. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Oh, but we weren't the only ones who aided in your request. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ya weren't? <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} My sisters helped to forge the sword. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Also, your armor is based on a design from Alberia's founding. Nicolas and Althemia dug up the information on that front. Oh, and Francesca tracked down a rare metal used to fortify the armor. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I never would'a guessed... <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Just about everyone in the castle said they wanted to help. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Even Euden chipped in. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, I'll be damned... <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} That's how much everyone here trusts you. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} So you had better live up to those lofty expectations, sir. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ya know I will! Ya put yer hearts into makin' this stuff, and I'm gonna use it to open up a great future for New Alberia! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode2Title=Honest Strength<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Raaaagh! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} The heck is up with these guys?! Why do they keep targeting you?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Maybe my new armor just stands out! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} This is no time for jokes, idiot! You're surrounded! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Don't worry—my armor can handle it! Their attacks ain't even gonna scratch it! Have some'a this, chumps! ...See? Piece'a cake. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Crap, Ranzal. I can't believe how many of 'em you just took out. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} With this new sword and armor, they didn't stand a chance! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Is it just me, or are you moving faster than you did before? Is that armor lighter or something? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} If anything, it's a bit heavier. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Then why are you faster now? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Partially because this was specially crafted for me, I think. But also because of muscle power! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...Come again? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} When armor's heavy, ya gotta bulk up so ya don't get all sluggish, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I totally do not follow you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, I AM faster, right? So my muscles musta leveled-up! And I'm gonna keep trainin' until they're the most muscly muscles they can be! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Look, I know you've got new armor and all, but don't you think you're getting a bit TOO gung-ho here? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nah, this is how it should be. I'm gonna be reborn! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Re...born? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Before we met, I lived as a mercenary. I did whatever it took to win. I'm too ashamed to even talk about some'a the stuff what I done. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, but isn't that just what a mercenary has to do? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sure—but that kind of underhanded strength is somethin' I wanna get away from in my new life. There's only one way to get real strength, and that's to train like a madman. It's like bein' on a hill. If ya wanna reach the top, ya just gotta keep walkin'. So that's what I'm gonna do. And someday, I'll be reborn with good, honest strength that fits my new role in the world. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's really cool, man. You sound like a real leader! I always used to see you as my dumb pal, but now it's like you're...shining. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nothin' shines brighter than a guy workin' to better himself. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I wanna be just like you! How can I be the next Ranzal? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Train well, eat well, and sleep well. Those're the big three. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm gonna get on that right away! ...Speaking of, I'm kinda hungry. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} No surprise; we worked hard today. Let's get back to the castle, yeah? I bet Cleo's got grub waitin' for us. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I think the eating is going to be my favorite part of your big three. We're baaaack! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Two hungry guys, comin' through! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I'm sorry, but the food isn't ready. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nooooo! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Yes, I know it's terribly disappointing. If you are going to keel over, try not to do so on my clean floor. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hey, THIS looks ready! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} No snacking! I must ensure that everyone gets a fair and equal portion. So if you eat so much as a bite, that is ALL you will have today! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} But we been fightin' fiends all day! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I said no. Any further interruptions will simply delay everyone's food. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} C'mon! Just one bite! FEED ME NOOOW! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Oh, for the goddess's sake! Are you FIVE?! I thought you had grown up, Ranzal, but perhaps I was mistaken. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} What the heck, Ranzal...? What happened to the man dreaming of good, honest strength? What happened to the guy I wanted to be like? &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode3Title=Negotiatin'<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; ''Ranzal has led a small force to the border of the Dyrenell Empire. The prince sent them there in order to rescue a number of civilian refugees.''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Commander Ranzal, I have a report! The refugees are being held up at a Dyrenell checkpoint and can't reach us. Also, our scouts report that the enemy numbers eighty troops in all. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} They've got more men—but I'M here, which means we can still take 'em. Normally that's what I'd do, but... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} What's wrong, sir? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} The guys at the checkpoint ain't attackin' the civilians, which means we can't just go chargin' in there ourselves. Maybe this is a chance to show off my newfound diplomacy! <br /> {{ST|Man}} Let us through! We seek refuge with Prince Euden! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Stand down, all of you. The man you speak of is no longer a legitimate prince of this nation. He is a filthy traitor, nothing more. And if you run to him, you will be branded traitors also! <br /> {{ST|Man}} No! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Then go back to where you came from before I clap the lot of you in irons! <br /> {{ST|Man}} But our village is being taxed too heavily for us to make a living there! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Let none say I did not give fair warning. ...Men! Arrest this rabble! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} HALT! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Huh? Who the devil are you?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ho there! I am Commander Ranzal of the New Alberian Army, and I have come thence and yon to make with thee a parlay most heretofore! Thus and verily, His Highness the Prince did decree we hasten to save these wretches, therefore have we hither come to thee to grant forthwith succor! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} *blink* <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Uh oh. He's gone quiet. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} I, uh, don't think he understood you, sir. You sort of...mangled that. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Shut up! I ain't used to this kinda thing! Ah, hell with it. I'm just gonna talk like I always do. <br /> {{ST|Man}} Are you here to save us? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sure am, my man! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Fool! Do you think us so weak that we will hand these people over at your say-so? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} That's why we're gonna negotiate. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} I do not bandy words with traitors. To arms, men! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Should we do the same, sir? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} No. Keep yer weapons sheathed. C'mon, now. We got no need for weapons and fightin'. Let's talk this thing out. Ain't nobody wins if we all shut each other's eyes, yeah? ...But if ya won't negotiate, I'll beat ya senseless until ya DO! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} How can a man so vastly outnumbered project such confidence...? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Uh, sir? I thought you said we were going to negotiate peacefully. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nnngh! Sorry! Can't be losin' my cool like that when I'm representin' New Alberia. Look, these people wanna come to our country, and I think you should let 'em. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} You think we should hand over imperial citizens to an army of traitors? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, they clearly ain't happy to be in their current position. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} If they have quarrel with the Empire, I shall relay that to my superiors. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Look, this probably ain't somethin' a negotiator should be sayin'... But the Empire don't seem like a place what's gonna take complaints seriously. Ya REALLY wanna make 'em go back home when they clearly don't want to? <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Enough! I will not stand here and be lectured by the likes of you! The rebellion of you treasonous snakes is what divided the country in the first— <br /> {{ST|???}} Raaaaagh! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Wh-what was that?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Fiends—and they're close. <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Grrrr... <br /> {{ST|Man}} F-fiends! We've got fiends! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Looks like we were yellin' a little too loudly there. <br /> {{ST|Man}} Eeeek! Help! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} No way we can handle this many on our own. So the only way outta this... Hey, Imperials! Give us a hand! We'll beat these fiends back together! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} I take no orders from rebel scum! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Is that REALLY yer top priority right now?! We're talkin' about protectin' yer people, so drop the attitude and lend a hand. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} I will do no such thing, dog! My soldiers and I can handle these fiends unaided. Get into formation, men! We will defeat these beasts! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Sir! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Eh, all's well that ends well, I guess. But now that they're busy... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Understood, sir! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Good man. Meanwhile, I'm gonna help the imperials with these fiends. *pant* *pant* Whew! We did it. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Though I admit your assistance was welcome, I do not understand why you came to our aid. Regardless, you have my thanks for helping to save our countrymen. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Don't worry about it. Er, so where ARE those countrymen of yers, anyway? <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} They're not... Where did they go?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Guess they ran off durin' the battle. Which means we got nothin' else to talk about here. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} You... You deliberately allowed them to escape during the battle! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ain't sayin' I did...but ain't sayin' I didn't, neither. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} I suppose you unleashed those fiends upon us as well! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Usin' fiends is what YOU do, not us. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} ...... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Anyway, see ya. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Should we not have captured him, sir? <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} We were in no position for another fight after the casualties we took earlier. Besides, you saw how courageously he fought those fiends—I'm not certain we could have defeated him even if we all took him on as one. The sly devil knew just how to use the situation to get the result he wanted. He's obviously very experienced. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sorry for the wait. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Sir! You're all right! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Glad yer all alive and kickin', too. <br /> {{ST|Man}} Thank you for saving us, sir! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hell, we were just gonna keep goin' in circles if we kept talkin'. Looks like we actually owe a debt to the fiends for once. Bwa ha ha! All right, let's get back ta the castle. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Yes, sir! <br /> {{ST|Boy}} Wait! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} What is it, kid? <br /> {{ST|Boy}} You must be really strong to take on those fiends, mister. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sure, I'm strong. <br /> {{ST|Boy}} Then why didn't you just beat up those soldiers in the first place? Then we could've come back to your castle without all the trouble. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Because we had to prove somethin'. <br /> {{ST|Boy}} I don't understand. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} We had to prove that New Alberia is doin' the right thing. <br /> {{ST|Boy}} I still don't understand. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} We're fightin' for people's happiness. We do it because we believe it's the right thing to do. But ya need more than just strength to prove yer on the side of right. So that's why we try to talk to our enemies instead'a just crackin' skulls. We want everyone to know we ain't just gonna force folks to do what we want. <br /> {{ST|Boy}} Oh. ...Okay! <br /> {{ST|Man}} I want to live in your country all the more if it contains people like you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, yer welcome to do so. <br /> {{ST|Man}} Thank you so much! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I get the feelin' you ain't the only folks what are gonna want to come here. But don't worry... New Alberia will never turn its back on people in need! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode4Title=The Gallant Commander<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Fiend}} Roooooar! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} No matter how much we attack this thing, it doesn't slow him at all! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} This is a real tough one. Everyone, keep your distance! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} If we let up, it'll just start healin'. We need to strike now! Take THIS! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaaaagh! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} No! It's trying to run away! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Not on my watch! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} What are you doing, Ranzal?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} This thing ain't gettin' away! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaaagh! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Gah! My back! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Ranzal, you're hurt! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Are you all right?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Don't worry about me—just focus on our ugly friend over there! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} It's stopped moving! Everyone, NOW! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Take THIS! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Give up and die already! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Rghh... <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Goodness, that was quite the ordeal. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Whew! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Show me your back, Ranzal. You clearly are in need of healing. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Thanks, Cleo. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Ranzal, why do you always INSIST on charging in alone like that?! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} It always ends up with you almost getting killed! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} It would'a got away otherwise! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} That is no excuse to run off unaided. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, there's no need to be so harsh. I mean, we all know how strong he is. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That may be so—but we're still going to worry about him. It's what friends do. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sorry, guys. I just never wanna miss a chance when it shows itself. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's all well and good when you're fighting alongside us. But you're a commander now. A leader. If you run off alone like you just did, it's going to unsettle your troops. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Guess I didn't think of that. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You should learn how to work WITH your troops when you're out there with them. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Yeah, man. It's called COMMANDING. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} If you wish people to obey and respect you, you must be more composed. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} All right, all right! I get it. I'll work on improvin' as a commander. Although I got no idea how to start doin' that, if I'm honest... Is bein' a commander about orderin' people around all dignified? Take up your weapons! CHAAAARGE! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Yes, Commander! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Right away, Commander! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Charge! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...Nope. This ain't us. Maybe somethin' friendlier? Let's do this, guys! PARTY TIME! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Woohoo! I'm gonna fire at will! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Anyone in our way is gonna pay! Whoop-a-dee-doooooo! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nah, this ain't right either. I need to be more calculatin'. See the big picture, like. Soldiers on the right, stand by! Halt the enemy vanguard in its tracks! Soldiers on the left, flank the enemy! They won't see you coming while they deal with the troops in front of them! And once they're surrounded, we spring the ambush! <br /> {{ST|Adjutant}} We've cornered our enemies like rats, sir. What are your orders? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} We're gonna... Weee're gonnaaa... CHAAAAAARGE! <br /> {{ST|Adjutant}} C-Commander?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...Wait, no. That ain't a time for a charge. Damn it! No matter how much I think about this, I can't find the answer. I feel like I've thought about it too much and now nothin' makes sense. Damn it! What's the most &quot;commander&quot; thing for me to do here?! <br /> {{ST|Zacharias}} Think on it. Think on what you—and only you—can do in this situation. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Why do pops's words have to come into my head at a time like this? ...Wait a second. What can I do that no one else can? There HAS to be somethin'... ...... Hey, that's IT! Hate to admit I owe my pops for somethin', but I guess I do for this. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} We're movin' out, Ranzal! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} What is it? Fiends?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You know it. Sounds like it's a type like that one we took down earlier. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I'm on the way. Now I'm gonna show everyone how the new Ranzal commands! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Grrrr... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} This is the same kind of fiend as the one we fought last time. I know that you're all exhausted, but we need to strike right away. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hang on a sec, guys. I'm sorry for runnin' off on my own in that last fight. So that's why I'm gonna tell ya in advance what I'm doin' this time. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} All right. We're counting on you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Okay. *cough* Well, here's the plan... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Go on... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} We do the same thing as last time. I'm gonna charge in and grab 'em, then all of you attack! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} ...What? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I'm countin' on ya. Now let's move out! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} He's seriously just gonna do the exact same thing as last time? <br /> {{ST|Notte}} ...Yep. He is. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Never mind that now—just follow him! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Calling this a plan is an insult to the very concept of planning. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I don't have the faintest idea what that man is thinking anymore. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Whew! That takes care of that. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Ranzal! What were you thinking?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Thanks a million, everybody! That went off without a hitch. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You mean your &quot;plan&quot;? The one where you simply charge off like a madman? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} That's the one! See, I knew that if I charged, I'd draw all the attention. With my strength—and this armor—I can handle whatever a fiend throws at me. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} And how is this ANY different than what you were doing before? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Honestly? It ain't. I know I'm a commander now, but I gotta keep doin' what I do best. And that means usin' this bod like a giant battering ram. They look at me, then you guys wallop 'em while they're distracted. Perfect, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Do you honestly believe the job of a commander is to serve as cannon fodder? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} 'Course not! I got plenty of other skills I can bring to bear in a fight. I'm a former merc! I hear what's goin' on in villages all across the continent, I know about fiends and how they live, I can read the flow of battle... So who better to guide you guys on all this stuff than a seasoned pro like me? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I suppose we have been saved by your judgment a number of times. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, Ranzal's got us out of more pinches than a crab-claw buffet. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I know what I can do—I just had to work out how to use those skills for the good of everyone. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Still... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} If I put myself in harm's way, my troops will believe in me and stand by me. See? I ain't just doin' stuff without thinking—there's a reason for it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} So this is how you're going to command? ...All right. I'm good with it. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Thanks, Euden. Givin' orders from the back just don't suit me. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I suppose that means we're forever doomed to worry, but I can't say your arguments are unreasonable. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} So in the end, we are right back where we started. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} This is SO Ranzal. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Bwaa ha ha! Sorry if ya thought I was gonna make some huge change. But I want everyone at my back while I wallop chumps from the front. &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode5Title=Looking to the Future<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Today's yer birthday, right, Pops? When I was worryin' about how a leader should fight, it was yer words what first popped into my head. So...thanks for that. Still, bein' the big cheese is a lot of pressure, yeah? This has made me realize just how amazing you are for leadin' a whole city. Ya trained me hard since I was a kid, but it was so I could do the same thing. Too bad I ended up gettin' sick of it all and takin' off! But everything ya taught me stuck in my noggin all this time—and it's helpin' now. <br /> {{ST|Zacharias}} I'm impressed. I see you've broadened your horizons a little. You used to pay no attention to your surroundings, but it looks like those days are behind you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...Nah. I still got a long way to go. But I think I finally see where I need to be headin'. I know what I can do—and should do. And to do that, I'm gonna... Euden. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hey, Ranzal. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Heya! Cleo made cookies, so we were thinking of...having...some...and... Wow. You look REALLY serious. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Can I borrow ya for a second here, Euden? <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Okay, now you look SUPER serious. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Has something happened? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Just come with me. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ...All right. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Hang on just a hot minute, bub! What's going on here?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Draw yer sword. ...And I mean business. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Ranzal, I don't know what this is about, but I don't want to fight you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Enough talkin'! Fight! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Eeek! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Whoa! That was a serious blow! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Stop it! Stop it right now! What's WRONG with you, man?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Stay outta this, Notte—or you'll be next. We last fought back in the forest, yeah? On the day we met? Show me how much you've grown! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You're serious about this, aren't you? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ask my sword how serious I am! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hiyaaah! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} If that's the best ya can do, yer pactbound dragons must be nothin' more than dogs! An ancient kingdom falls, an empire takes its place, and a new kingdom rises to meet that challenge... We're livin' in some excitin' times! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} There's nothing exciting about people suffering at the hands of fiends and war. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Every man dreams of bein' king at least once in his life. But you? You might just have the power to make it happen for real. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ...... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} And if I use the chaos to my advantage, I could rise to power myself! Maybe I should march into Saint Lotier and take it from my pops... ...Or maybe I'll just overthrow you and steal THIS country instead! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} What?! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} DUDE! We built this country together, remember?! It's full of everyone's hopes and dreams! Are you just forgetting all that?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I won't hand this country over to you. I'm going to lead everyone here so we can defeat the Empire together. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} If you won't hand it over, maybe I'll just take it! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You can try! Haaaaaah! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} STOOOOP! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ...... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ...Heh. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...Hah. Bwaaaa ha ha ha! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Ha ha ha ha! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Bwa ha ha! Okay, what kinda idiot laughs in the middle of a deadly duel? <br /> {{ST|Notte}} I am SO confused right now. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You were holding back. Weren't you? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} You could tell? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Yep. Don't get me wrong—there was a lot of power behind your sword. But we've fought side by side, so I know you're capable of far more. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Soooooo...this WASN'T serious? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nah, not really. I thought I'd try to train up the prince here like my pops used to do with me. But I already ran away from that once— should'a known I wasn't cut out for it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} So that's why you were acting so strangely. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Fat lotta good it did, though. This'll teach me to think before I just run off and... do stuff. Sorry, Euden. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Grrrr! I was WORRIED, you dummy! You're just a big dumb stupidhead uglyface JERKSTORE! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sorry, Notte. I won't ever do it again. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} *sniff* Promise? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Yeah. I promise. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Fine. Then I guess I forgive you. ...But you're still a jerkstore. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Heh. Thanks. Guess I'm not cut out to be the great man my pops is. Hell, when I tried, all I ended up doin' was makin' Notte mad at me. The sons of Saint Lotier are meant to live by the sea and with it... It's a phrase everyone born in Saint Lotier knows. All of her citizens have a duty to protect their country and that sea—and it's a duty we're grateful to have. Guess I turned my back on that. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm not so sure. You may have left your people behind, but looking at you right now reminds me of the vast sea we saw from your home. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} So yer sayin' the spirit of the sea lives on in ol' Ranzal? Well, that's swell—but the country I'm gonna protect is the one with you in it! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I find that very reassuring. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} This land is full of sufferin' people, and you need to do somethin' about it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I know. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} But if you become king, I know you can turn all of that pain into happiness. Forget the sea—you can support the world! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I don't know about all that... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} It'll be fine so long as I'm with ya! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} And don't forget Notte— your bestest friend ever! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Everyone in this castle is pinnin' their hopes on you. Don't forget that. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I know—and I will work hard to meet their expectations. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} But before that... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Yes? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, I guess you and me still gotta work on surpassin' our pops. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You're right. Let's combine our strength to make a country both our fathers can be proud of! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Bwaaaa ha ha! Ain't that a thing! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> }}<br /> [[Category:To-Do Adventurer Voice Lines]]</div>

Hah! Hiyaaaaah! Oh yeah, I'm in perfect form today. My axe feels light as a feather! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} ...... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, if it ain't Cleo! Time for lunch already? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} We need to talk. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Uh oh. Ya got yer serious face on. Did I eat all the ham again? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You were appointed as Saint Lotier's lieutenant by your father, yes? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} That's my understandin' of it, yeah. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} And the prince also asked you to be a commander in our forces. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Yep. Normally a serious job like that would get a big fat &quot;no way&quot; from me, but I said I'd do it, so I been trainin' and— <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Ranzal, listen to me. I know it's important to refine your combat skills, but I think you should focus on something else first. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Uh...like what? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Your appearance. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ya kiddin' me? Look at this bod! I'm hotter than two rats sleepin' in a wool sock! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I am referring to your ATTIRE, you cad. If you mean to take these positions, you need clothing suited to your rank. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I dunno. I'm pretty comfy in this getup. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} And yet there will be occasions where your current mode of dress is not...suitable. If you appeared at an official function dressed like that, for example? You wouldn't just be shaming yourself— you would be shaming your father and Euden as well. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Bluuurgh... <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Well, I have said my piece. I will let you decide how to proceed. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, hell. Probably can't be showin' up in front of a buncha blue-bloods in this. Thing is, I got nothin' else to wear. ...But I know just the guy to talk to! Hey, Malka! I need a favor! <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Let me guess: You want your armor repaired again. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nope. I actually need some NEW armor. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Do go on. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Well, if it isn't Ranzal! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Heya, Ramona! Didn't see ya there. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} I just popped by to get input on some materials. Couldn't help overhearing you're looking for new armor? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} You know it. I'm movin' up in the world, so I need me some better duds. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} If that's what you are looking for, you have come to the right man. So then! What kind of armor do you seek? I will take any and all requests. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Gimme somethin' sturdy AND flashy! Like a butterfly with nunchucks, yeah? I wanna be covered from head to toe in metal so thick it'll repel anything. But THEN I want ya to use five colors of dragon scales so shiny they blind anybody within, say, a mile radius. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} This new position of yours must be... quite something. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I just need all them fancy folks to think I know what the hell I'm doin'. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} You FOOL! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Did somebody else just walk in here, or were ya yellin' at me? <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Heed me well, Ranzal... I've repaired enough armor in my day; I know how people fight in it. You, for example, don't use heavy armor. Instead, you wear only a minimum amount of metal to cover particular areas. That allows you to approach enemies quickly and wield your heavy weapon with speed and grace. That's your fighting style, correct? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I knew ya knew about this stuff, but I didn't know ya KNEW knew. ...Ya know? <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Armor exists to be worn. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Indeed—and I would shame myself and all craftsman if I made armor that was inappropriate for its wearer. Even if said armor was purely ornamental and used for diplomatic purposes. Yet here you are asking for nonsense like head-to-toe armor and dragon scales. The materials are one thing, but I simply refuse to make anything that will hinder your movement. Would you really turn your back on everything you've stood for until now? Are you going to use your new position as an excuse to laze about in the rearguard and let others fight for you? Because I'd rather die than forge armor for a fighter like that. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} You shut yer damn mouth! I ain't some fancy noble what's gonna sit around eatin' fish egg sandwiches or whatever while my men fight'n die! <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} No, that doesn't sound like you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Yeah, well...sorry 'bout all the yellin'. Ya just got under my skin for a second. I don't blame ya for gettin' angry, Malka. I see where yer comin' from. Anyway, just forget I asked about any of this, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Hold on. I haven't finished. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Muh? <br /> {{ST|Malka}} If you AREN'T planning to turn your back on your style, that changes everything. You require armor beautiful enough to fit your new position, but functional enough not to limit your movement. Do I understand that correctly? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Yeah, I s'pose. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Then I will make you the finest armor I can that fits those requirements. My only condition is that you leave the specifics to me. Are we agreed? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hell yeah, we're agreed! I ain't much for thinkin' about stuff anyway. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Then please look forward to the results. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Oh, I'm gonna! <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Sounds like we have our work cut out for us. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} I take it I can count on you to help with the materials? <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Of course—but in return, I want a favor. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Go on. <br /> &lt;center&gt;''Some time later...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hey! Is my armor really done?! <br /> {{ST|Malka}} It certainly is. Take a look. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} This is even better than I thought! Can I try it on? <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Of course. Let me help you into it. Hmm... Looks like the size is just right. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Yeah, it don't feel tight at all. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Heh. I see you found it already. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Whatcha think, Ramona? Lookin' good? <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} It's not as flashy as your first request, but I think it really suits you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hey, I said I was sorry about that whole &quot;blindin' dragon scale&quot; thing. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} And I am only teasing you. Anyway, why don't you take this to go with it? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...Wait. A sword? <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Think of it as a congratulations gift from me for your new position. Don't worry—it is simple and elegant, and will fit your style of combat to a T. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Huh... Feels like it's almost an extension of my arm. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} I'm glad you like it. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} She helped me with all the materials needed to craft your armor. But she also proposed making that sword, which I helped her craft. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Man, I really owe ya both. <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Oh, but we weren't the only ones who aided in your request. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ya weren't? <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} My sisters helped to forge the sword. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Also, your armor is based on a design from Alberia's founding. Nicolas and Althemia dug up the information on that front. Oh, and Francesca tracked down a rare metal used to fortify the armor. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I never would'a guessed... <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} Just about everyone in the castle said they wanted to help. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} Even Euden chipped in. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, I'll be damned... <br /> {{ST|Ramona}} That's how much everyone here trusts you. <br /> {{ST|Malka}} So you had better live up to those lofty expectations, sir. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ya know I will! Ya put yer hearts into makin' this stuff, and I'm gonna use it to open up a great future for New Alberia! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode2Title=Honest Strength<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Raaaagh! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} The heck is up with these guys?! Why do they keep targeting you?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Maybe my new armor just stands out! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} This is no time for jokes, idiot! You're surrounded! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Don't worry—my armor can handle it! Their attacks ain't even gonna scratch it! Have some'a this, chumps! ...See? Piece'a cake. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Crap, Ranzal. I can't believe how many of 'em you just took out. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} With this new sword and armor, they didn't stand a chance! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Is it just me, or are you moving faster than you did before? Is that armor lighter or something? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} If anything, it's a bit heavier. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Then why are you faster now? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Partially because this was specially crafted for me, I think. But also because of muscle power! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...Come again? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} When armor's heavy, ya gotta bulk up so ya don't get all sluggish, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I totally do not follow you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, I AM faster, right? So my muscles musta leveled-up! And I'm gonna keep trainin' until they're the most muscly muscles they can be! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Look, I know you've got new armor and all, but don't you think you're getting a bit TOO gung-ho here? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nah, this is how it should be. I'm gonna be reborn! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Re...born? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Before we met, I lived as a mercenary. I did whatever it took to win. I'm too ashamed to even talk about some'a the stuff what I done. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, but isn't that just what a mercenary has to do? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sure—but that kind of underhanded strength is somethin' I wanna get away from in my new life. There's only one way to get real strength, and that's to train like a madman. It's like bein' on a hill. If ya wanna reach the top, ya just gotta keep walkin'. So that's what I'm gonna do. And someday, I'll be reborn with good, honest strength that fits my new role in the world. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's really cool, man. You sound like a real leader! I always used to see you as my dumb pal, but now it's like you're...shining. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nothin' shines brighter than a guy workin' to better himself. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I wanna be just like you! How can I be the next Ranzal? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Train well, eat well, and sleep well. Those're the big three. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm gonna get on that right away! ...Speaking of, I'm kinda hungry. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} No surprise; we worked hard today. Let's get back to the castle, yeah? I bet Cleo's got grub waitin' for us. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I think the eating is going to be my favorite part of your big three. We're baaaack! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Two hungry guys, comin' through! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I'm sorry, but the food isn't ready. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nooooo! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Yes, I know it's terribly disappointing. If you are going to keel over, try not to do so on my clean floor. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hey, THIS looks ready! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} No snacking! I must ensure that everyone gets a fair and equal portion. So if you eat so much as a bite, that is ALL you will have today! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} But we been fightin' fiends all day! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I said no. Any further interruptions will simply delay everyone's food. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} C'mon! Just one bite! FEED ME NOOOW! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Oh, for the goddess's sake! Are you FIVE?! I thought you had grown up, Ranzal, but perhaps I was mistaken. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} What the heck, Ranzal...? What happened to the man dreaming of good, honest strength? What happened to the guy I wanted to be like? &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode3Title=Negotiatin'<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; ''Ranzal has led a small force to the border of the Dyrenell Empire. The prince sent them there in order to rescue a number of civilian refugees.''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Commander Ranzal, I have a report! The refugees are being held up at a Dyrenell checkpoint and can't reach us. Also, our scouts report that the enemy numbers eighty troops in all. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} They've got more men—but I'M here, which means we can still take 'em. Normally that's what I'd do, but... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} What's wrong, sir? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} The guys at the checkpoint ain't attackin' the civilians, which means we can't just go chargin' in there ourselves. Maybe this is a chance to show off my newfound diplomacy! <br /> {{ST|Man}} Let us through! We seek refuge with Prince Euden! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Stand down, all of you. The man you speak of is no longer a legitimate prince of this nation. He is a filthy traitor, nothing more. And if you run to him, you will be branded traitors also! <br /> {{ST|Man}} No! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Then go back to where you came from before I clap the lot of you in irons! <br /> {{ST|Man}} But our village is being taxed too heavily for us to make a living there! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Let none say I did not give fair warning. ...Men! Arrest this rabble! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} HALT! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Huh? Who the devil are you?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ho there! I am Commander Ranzal of the New Alberian Army, and I have come thence and yon to make with thee a parlay most heretofore! Thus and verily, His Highness the Prince did decree we hasten to save these wretches, therefore have we hither come to thee to grant forthwith succor! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} *blink* <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Uh oh. He's gone quiet. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} I, uh, don't think he understood you, sir. You sort of...mangled that. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Shut up! I ain't used to this kinda thing! Ah, hell with it. I'm just gonna talk like I always do. <br /> {{ST|Man}} Are you here to save us? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sure am, my man! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Fool! Do you think us so weak that we will hand these people over at your say-so? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} That's why we're gonna negotiate. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} I do not bandy words with traitors. To arms, men! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Should we do the same, sir? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} No. Keep yer weapons sheathed. C'mon, now. We got no need for weapons and fightin'. Let's talk this thing out. Ain't nobody wins if we all shut each other's eyes, yeah? ...But if ya won't negotiate, I'll beat ya senseless until ya DO! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} How can a man so vastly outnumbered project such confidence...? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Uh, sir? I thought you said we were going to negotiate peacefully. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nnngh! Sorry! Can't be losin' my cool like that when I'm representin' New Alberia. Look, these people wanna come to our country, and I think you should let 'em. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} You think we should hand over imperial citizens to an army of traitors? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, they clearly ain't happy to be in their current position. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} If they have quarrel with the Empire, I shall relay that to my superiors. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Look, this probably ain't somethin' a negotiator should be sayin'... But the Empire don't seem like a place what's gonna take complaints seriously. Ya REALLY wanna make 'em go back home when they clearly don't want to? <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Enough! I will not stand here and be lectured by the likes of you! The rebellion of you treasonous snakes is what divided the country in the first— <br /> {{ST|???}} Raaaaagh! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Wh-what was that?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Fiends—and they're close. <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Grrrr... <br /> {{ST|Man}} F-fiends! We've got fiends! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Looks like we were yellin' a little too loudly there. <br /> {{ST|Man}} Eeeek! Help! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} No way we can handle this many on our own. So the only way outta this... Hey, Imperials! Give us a hand! We'll beat these fiends back together! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} I take no orders from rebel scum! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Is that REALLY yer top priority right now?! We're talkin' about protectin' yer people, so drop the attitude and lend a hand. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} I will do no such thing, dog! My soldiers and I can handle these fiends unaided. Get into formation, men! We will defeat these beasts! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Sir! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Eh, all's well that ends well, I guess. But now that they're busy... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Understood, sir! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Good man. Meanwhile, I'm gonna help the imperials with these fiends. *pant* *pant* Whew! We did it. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} Though I admit your assistance was welcome, I do not understand why you came to our aid. Regardless, you have my thanks for helping to save our countrymen. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Don't worry about it. Er, so where ARE those countrymen of yers, anyway? <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} They're not... Where did they go?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Guess they ran off durin' the battle. Which means we got nothin' else to talk about here. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} You... You deliberately allowed them to escape during the battle! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ain't sayin' I did...but ain't sayin' I didn't, neither. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} I suppose you unleashed those fiends upon us as well! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Usin' fiends is what YOU do, not us. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} ...... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Anyway, see ya. <br /> {{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Should we not have captured him, sir? <br /> {{ST|Imperial Commander}} We were in no position for another fight after the casualties we took earlier. Besides, you saw how courageously he fought those fiends—I'm not certain we could have defeated him even if we all took him on as one. The sly devil knew just how to use the situation to get the result he wanted. He's obviously very experienced. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sorry for the wait. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Sir! You're all right! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Glad yer all alive and kickin', too. <br /> {{ST|Man}} Thank you for saving us, sir! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hell, we were just gonna keep goin' in circles if we kept talkin'. Looks like we actually owe a debt to the fiends for once. Bwa ha ha! All right, let's get back ta the castle. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal's Subordinate}} Yes, sir! <br /> {{ST|Boy}} Wait! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} What is it, kid? <br /> {{ST|Boy}} You must be really strong to take on those fiends, mister. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sure, I'm strong. <br /> {{ST|Boy}} Then why didn't you just beat up those soldiers in the first place? Then we could've come back to your castle without all the trouble. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Because we had to prove somethin'. <br /> {{ST|Boy}} I don't understand. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} We had to prove that New Alberia is doin' the right thing. <br /> {{ST|Boy}} I still don't understand. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} We're fightin' for people's happiness. We do it because we believe it's the right thing to do. But ya need more than just strength to prove yer on the side of right. So that's why we try to talk to our enemies instead'a just crackin' skulls. We want everyone to know we ain't just gonna force folks to do what we want. <br /> {{ST|Boy}} Oh. ...Okay! <br /> {{ST|Man}} I want to live in your country all the more if it contains people like you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, yer welcome to do so. <br /> {{ST|Man}} Thank you so much! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I get the feelin' you ain't the only folks what are gonna want to come here. But don't worry... New Alberia will never turn its back on people in need! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode4Title=The Gallant Commander<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Fiend}} Roooooar! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} No matter how much we attack this thing, it doesn't slow him at all! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} This is a real tough one. Everyone, keep your distance! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} If we let up, it'll just start healin'. We need to strike now! Take THIS! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaaaagh! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} No! It's trying to run away! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Not on my watch! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} What are you doing, Ranzal?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} This thing ain't gettin' away! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaaagh! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Gah! My back! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Ranzal, you're hurt! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Are you all right?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Don't worry about me—just focus on our ugly friend over there! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} It's stopped moving! Everyone, NOW! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Take THIS! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Give up and die already! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Rghh... <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Goodness, that was quite the ordeal. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Whew! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Show me your back, Ranzal. You clearly are in need of healing. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Thanks, Cleo. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Ranzal, why do you always INSIST on charging in alone like that?! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} It always ends up with you almost getting killed! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} It would'a got away otherwise! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} That is no excuse to run off unaided. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, there's no need to be so harsh. I mean, we all know how strong he is. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That may be so—but we're still going to worry about him. It's what friends do. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sorry, guys. I just never wanna miss a chance when it shows itself. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's all well and good when you're fighting alongside us. But you're a commander now. A leader. If you run off alone like you just did, it's going to unsettle your troops. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Guess I didn't think of that. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You should learn how to work WITH your troops when you're out there with them. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Yeah, man. It's called COMMANDING. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} If you wish people to obey and respect you, you must be more composed. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} All right, all right! I get it. I'll work on improvin' as a commander. Although I got no idea how to start doin' that, if I'm honest... Is bein' a commander about orderin' people around all dignified? Take up your weapons! CHAAAARGE! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Yes, Commander! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Right away, Commander! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Charge! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...Nope. This ain't us. Maybe somethin' friendlier? Let's do this, guys! PARTY TIME! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Woohoo! I'm gonna fire at will! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Anyone in our way is gonna pay! Whoop-a-dee-doooooo! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nah, this ain't right either. I need to be more calculatin'. See the big picture, like. Soldiers on the right, stand by! Halt the enemy vanguard in its tracks! Soldiers on the left, flank the enemy! They won't see you coming while they deal with the troops in front of them! And once they're surrounded, we spring the ambush! <br /> {{ST|Adjutant}} We've cornered our enemies like rats, sir. What are your orders? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} We're gonna... Weee're gonnaaa... CHAAAAAARGE! <br /> {{ST|Adjutant}} C-Commander?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...Wait, no. That ain't a time for a charge. Damn it! No matter how much I think about this, I can't find the answer. I feel like I've thought about it too much and now nothin' makes sense. Damn it! What's the most &quot;commander&quot; thing for me to do here?! <br /> {{ST|Zacharias}} Think on it. Think on what you—and only you—can do in this situation. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Why do pops's words have to come into my head at a time like this? ...Wait a second. What can I do that no one else can? There HAS to be somethin'... ...... Hey, that's IT! Hate to admit I owe my pops for somethin', but I guess I do for this. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} We're movin' out, Ranzal! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} What is it? Fiends?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You know it. Sounds like it's a type like that one we took down earlier. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I'm on the way. Now I'm gonna show everyone how the new Ranzal commands! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Grrrr... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} This is the same kind of fiend as the one we fought last time. I know that you're all exhausted, but we need to strike right away. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Hang on a sec, guys. I'm sorry for runnin' off on my own in that last fight. So that's why I'm gonna tell ya in advance what I'm doin' this time. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} All right. We're counting on you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Okay. *cough* Well, here's the plan... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Go on... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} We do the same thing as last time. I'm gonna charge in and grab 'em, then all of you attack! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} ...What? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I'm countin' on ya. Now let's move out! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} He's seriously just gonna do the exact same thing as last time? <br /> {{ST|Notte}} ...Yep. He is. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Never mind that now—just follow him! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Calling this a plan is an insult to the very concept of planning. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I don't have the faintest idea what that man is thinking anymore. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Whew! That takes care of that. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Ranzal! What were you thinking?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Thanks a million, everybody! That went off without a hitch. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You mean your &quot;plan&quot;? The one where you simply charge off like a madman? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} That's the one! See, I knew that if I charged, I'd draw all the attention. With my strength—and this armor—I can handle whatever a fiend throws at me. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} And how is this ANY different than what you were doing before? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Honestly? It ain't. I know I'm a commander now, but I gotta keep doin' what I do best. And that means usin' this bod like a giant battering ram. They look at me, then you guys wallop 'em while they're distracted. Perfect, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Do you honestly believe the job of a commander is to serve as cannon fodder? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} 'Course not! I got plenty of other skills I can bring to bear in a fight. I'm a former merc! I hear what's goin' on in villages all across the continent, I know about fiends and how they live, I can read the flow of battle... So who better to guide you guys on all this stuff than a seasoned pro like me? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I suppose we have been saved by your judgment a number of times. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, Ranzal's got us out of more pinches than a crab-claw buffet. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} I know what I can do—I just had to work out how to use those skills for the good of everyone. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Still... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} If I put myself in harm's way, my troops will believe in me and stand by me. See? I ain't just doin' stuff without thinking—there's a reason for it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} So this is how you're going to command? ...All right. I'm good with it. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Thanks, Euden. Givin' orders from the back just don't suit me. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I suppose that means we're forever doomed to worry, but I can't say your arguments are unreasonable. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} So in the end, we are right back where we started. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} This is SO Ranzal. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Bwaa ha ha! Sorry if ya thought I was gonna make some huge change. But I want everyone at my back while I wallop chumps from the front. &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode5Title=Looking to the Future<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Today's yer birthday, right, Pops? When I was worryin' about how a leader should fight, it was yer words what first popped into my head. So...thanks for that. Still, bein' the big cheese is a lot of pressure, yeah? This has made me realize just how amazing you are for leadin' a whole city. Ya trained me hard since I was a kid, but it was so I could do the same thing. Too bad I ended up gettin' sick of it all and takin' off! But everything ya taught me stuck in my noggin all this time—and it's helpin' now. <br /> {{ST|Zacharias}} I'm impressed. I see you've broadened your horizons a little. You used to pay no attention to your surroundings, but it looks like those days are behind you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...Nah. I still got a long way to go. But I think I finally see where I need to be headin'. I know what I can do—and should do. And to do that, I'm gonna... Euden. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hey, Ranzal. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Heya! Cleo made cookies, so we were thinking of...having...some...and... Wow. You look REALLY serious. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Can I borrow ya for a second here, Euden? <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Okay, now you look SUPER serious. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Has something happened? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Just come with me. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ...All right. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Hang on just a hot minute, bub! What's going on here?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Draw yer sword. ...And I mean business. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Ranzal, I don't know what this is about, but I don't want to fight you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Enough talkin'! Fight! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Eeek! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Whoa! That was a serious blow! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Stop it! Stop it right now! What's WRONG with you, man?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Stay outta this, Notte—or you'll be next. We last fought back in the forest, yeah? On the day we met? Show me how much you've grown! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You're serious about this, aren't you? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Ask my sword how serious I am! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hiyaaah! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} If that's the best ya can do, yer pactbound dragons must be nothin' more than dogs! An ancient kingdom falls, an empire takes its place, and a new kingdom rises to meet that challenge... We're livin' in some excitin' times! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} There's nothing exciting about people suffering at the hands of fiends and war. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Every man dreams of bein' king at least once in his life. But you? You might just have the power to make it happen for real. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ...... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} And if I use the chaos to my advantage, I could rise to power myself! Maybe I should march into Saint Lotier and take it from my pops... ...Or maybe I'll just overthrow you and steal THIS country instead! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} What?! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} DUDE! We built this country together, remember?! It's full of everyone's hopes and dreams! Are you just forgetting all that?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I won't hand this country over to you. I'm going to lead everyone here so we can defeat the Empire together. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} If you won't hand it over, maybe I'll just take it! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You can try! Haaaaaah! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} STOOOOP! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ...... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ...Heh. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} ...Hah. Bwaaaa ha ha ha! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Ha ha ha ha! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Bwa ha ha! Okay, what kinda idiot laughs in the middle of a deadly duel? <br /> {{ST|Notte}} I am SO confused right now. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You were holding back. Weren't you? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} You could tell? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Yep. Don't get me wrong—there was a lot of power behind your sword. But we've fought side by side, so I know you're capable of far more. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Soooooo...this WASN'T serious? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Nah, not really. I thought I'd try to train up the prince here like my pops used to do with me. But I already ran away from that once— should'a known I wasn't cut out for it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} So that's why you were acting so strangely. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Fat lotta good it did, though. This'll teach me to think before I just run off and... do stuff. Sorry, Euden. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Grrrr! I was WORRIED, you dummy! You're just a big dumb stupidhead uglyface JERKSTORE! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Sorry, Notte. I won't ever do it again. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} *sniff* Promise? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Yeah. I promise. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Fine. Then I guess I forgive you. ...But you're still a jerkstore. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Heh. Thanks. Guess I'm not cut out to be the great man my pops is. Hell, when I tried, all I ended up doin' was makin' Notte mad at me. The sons of Saint Lotier are meant to live by the sea and with it... It's a phrase everyone born in Saint Lotier knows. All of her citizens have a duty to protect their country and that sea—and it's a duty we're grateful to have. Guess I turned my back on that. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm not so sure. You may have left your people behind, but looking at you right now reminds me of the vast sea we saw from your home. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} So yer sayin' the spirit of the sea lives on in ol' Ranzal? Well, that's swell—but the country I'm gonna protect is the one with you in it! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I find that very reassuring. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} This land is full of sufferin' people, and you need to do somethin' about it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I know. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} But if you become king, I know you can turn all of that pain into happiness. Forget the sea—you can support the world! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I don't know about all that... <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} It'll be fine so long as I'm with ya! <br /> {{ST|Notte}} And don't forget Notte— your bestest friend ever! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Everyone in this castle is pinnin' their hopes on you. Don't forget that. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I know—and I will work hard to meet their expectations. <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} But before that... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Yes? <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Well, I guess you and me still gotta work on surpassin' our pops. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You're right. Let's combine our strength to make a country both our fathers can be proud of! <br /> {{ST|Gala Ranzal}} Bwaaaa ha ha! Ain't that a thing! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> }}<br /> [[Category:To-Do Adventurer Voice Lines]]</div>

There's no end to these things! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Keep fighting! We have to save the village! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Besides, ain't you the one what was struttin' around earlier talkin' about how easy this was gonna be? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, yeah, I know. ...Okay, then. I said I'd do it, so I'm gonna do it! Time for a Luca special. Eat this, fiends! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaaagh... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You took out two at once! Pretty impressive, Luca. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That wasn't me. My bow's still nocked. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Er, then who was it? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} No idea. But whoever they are, they have some SERIOUS bow skills. I don't think I could make a shot like that. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Oh, I don't know about that. I've seen you make some pretty impossible shots. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sure, but look at where the arrows pierced these two—straight through the heart, both of 'em. That's one in a million. I mean, yeah, I could probably make a shot like that, but not without a lot of luck. <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Raaargh! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Luca, watch out! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Aw, crap! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaargh! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, now I owe this mystery archer a HUGE thank you! <br /> {{ST|???}} You two all right over there? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} We're fine—but I think I owe you a dinner. Or maybe THREE dinners, considering how many fiends you just took out. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Not necessary; I'm just glad you're... Wait a second. LUCA?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} SARISSE?! What are YOU doing here?! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Wait. Ain't that...? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Luca's little sister, yes. We met her back at their village. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Euden! It's been a while. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} It's great to see you again, Sarisse, but what are you doing here? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Oh, I'm just out on a little fiend hunt. The same villagers who asked you for help also wanted me to pitch in. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Now THAT'S a piece of encouragin' news! Right, Euden? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} If she's as good as those last two shots, she'll be an incredible asset. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, everybody just slow your rolls! Don't I get a say in this? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Er, why would your say not be &quot;yes&quot;? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Because this is my little SISTER, man! Exterminating fiends is dangerous work. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yeah, but you were JUST goin' on and on about how skilled this mystery archer person was! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Was I, though? No, I don't think so. It was more of a head-nod, &quot;yeah, I guess that was okay&quot; kind of thing. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Luca called me skilled? Woohoo! You finally recognized my ability! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I said those things in the heat of the moment! Now, after careful reflection, it's clear that I was over-effusive. Regardless, there's no WAY I'm letting you chase around a bunch of fiends! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} But you said I was skilled! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I know you too well. You're looking at this like some game to test your skills. If you go into combat thinking like that... <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Now hold on! When did I say anything like that? I'm taking my fiend-hunting duties completely seriously! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Fiend-hunting...duties? Wait, what? What are you— <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Listen, I get that you guys have this sibling mind-meld thing goin' on, but— <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse}} WE DO NOT! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} But yer startin' to attract an audience! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Raaargh! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Uh oh. We're surrounded! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, fine. You can help us, Sarisse. But JUST this one time, got it?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You have to be kidding me. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} See? I knew she'd be thrilled! ...Wait, what did you say? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I said that you're an IDIOT, Luca! First you treat me like a useless kid, and now you want my HELP?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm just trying to keep you safe! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} And I'M just trying to help people! What's so wrong with that? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Well...okay, yeah that's not a bad reason... Look, all I'm saying is that you should have talked to me about this before you just ran off and started arrowing fiends. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I can decide how to live my own life, thank you very much! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sarisse, wait! Don't go running off! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I'm going to kill every last fiend here! Maybe THEN you'll admit I know what the heck I'm doing! Taaaaake THIS! Hiyaaaaa! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Raaargh.... <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Right then! Who's next?! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Rrrgh! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Attacking from behind? Not cool! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Stay the hell away from my sister! Haaah! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Luca! You saved meeeeeee...um...a tiny bit of trouble. Yep! That's all you did. Still, I SUPPOSE we can call it even for me saving you earlier—even though I did that, like, three times. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm sorry, Sarisse. This is all my fault. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Come again? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I owe you an apology. I totally disregarded your feelings, and that was wrong. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You mean it? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah. But I also wanna say one thing... PLEASE be more careful! It makes me CRAZY when you just go running off into danger like that! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You were that worried about me... I'm sorry, too. I shouldn't have just run off and started plunking fools like that. <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Raaargh! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Woah, look at the size of this fella. It must be their leader. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} C'mon, Luca! We'll take it down together! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You got it! Time to show 'em what we can do! <br /> {{ST|Sarisse &amp; Luca}} Sylvan Sibling Speciaaaaaaal! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaaaaarrrgh... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Told ya you two had a sibling mind-meld. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Agreed. That was impressive. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Heh. Thanks, Euden. But yeah, there was something different about that shot we did just now, right? Something amazing! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's what happens when you fight alongside someone. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Huh. Well, I'll be. Well, in that case, I'm coming with you, Euden! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We'd love your help! Er, but what do you think about all this, Luca? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, now that you've learned how to work with others, I'm fine with it. You're really growing up, Sis! Welcome to the team. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aw, thanks, you two. Those stupid fiends aren't gonna know what hit 'em! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode2Title=The Spice of Life<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Gala Sarisse}} La la laaa ♪ That was so fun! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You seem awfully happy, Sarisse. Did something nice happen? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yep! I bought some amazing thread for suuuuper cheap here in town. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Thread? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yeah, I'm kinda into embroidery. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That seems like a nice hobby. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} It's pretty great, all right. But yeah, I can't tell you how awesome that village shopping place was. It was full of these colorful outdoor stalls where everyone was yelling and arguing about prices. So great! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Oh! That's a flea market. It's where you go to sell old things you don't need anymore. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Do they sell fleas? Ah ha ha! Oh man, I slay me. ...Oh, but wait! There's more! I haggled with somebody! HAGGLED! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Bwa ha ha! Yeah, hagglin' is the best. The shopkeeps are usually reduced to tears when ol' Ranzal's done with 'em. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I KNOW, right? Every time they'd lower the price, I'd be like, &quot;That is an INSULT, sir! Don't you know who I am?!&quot; <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Bwaaa ha ha! I love it! Maybe we're more alike than I thought. I mean, I feel kinda bad for the shopkeeps, but that's just the flea-market game! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} It was a total blast—and I owe it all to you, Euden! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm not sure what I did here. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} If I hadn't joined you and your pals, I never would have come to a town this far from my home! THAT'S why I owe it all to you. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} In that case, you're welcome. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Shoppin' is all well and good, but it ain't the only fun thing about this town. There's also the food. Speakin' of which, I know a little place you just gotta try! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yessss! Take me, take me, take meeee! Pleeeeeeease? Wait, crap! Noooo! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} What's wrong? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I blew all my money at the flea market. *sniff* Guess I'll just have to go home and eat rocks tonight. Cheap, cheap rocks... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Aw, don't be like that. It'll be my treat! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Reeeeally?! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} 'Course! You and me got lots in common after all, yeah? Sharin' a meal is gonna be a blast. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Sarisse does have a certain way of brightening the air around her. Go ahead and enjoy your dinner, Sarisse. I'll let Luca know what's going on. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Ya hear that? We've been ordered to go eat by royalty. Got no choice now. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yaaaay! Thanks, you two! ...Ranzal, this menu is CRAZYPANTS! I've never heard of half this stuff! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Well then, order whatever sounds good. It's all on me! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aaaanything? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yep! Go hog-wild, kid. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Excuse me? Waiter? We'd like to order! Okay, so I want this...and this... Oh, and some of these... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} (Huh. She's orderin' a whole lot'a food for such a tiny kid.) <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} And a dozen of these... Oooo, and this! Oh, and can I get this in a trough? Is that a serving size you guys do? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} A trough?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} *BRRRP!* ...Oh my gosh, Ranzal, that was the best meal ever. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I didn't think there was any way ya'd eat all'a that, but ya did! Nice job, kid. Guess we should grab the bill now, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} The bill? Heck no! I'm just getting started! I still need to try the salad, and the fish, and that giant haunch of meat, and... You know what? Let's just go ahead and order one of everything! We'll make it a challenge to ourselves. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Nnngh! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You okay, Ranzal? You've gone all pale. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} *cough* D-don't worry 'bout me... <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Well, if you're sure... Okay, time to order! Excuse me! Waiter! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I'm gonna be a broke joker by the time this night's done...but a promise is a promise, so I gotta see it through! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Boy, there isn't a bad item on the menu. I can see why you love this place! Wait, what's this way down here? The &quot;Helltongue Spicy Special&quot;? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yeah, I dunno if yer gonna dig that one. It's more of an adult taste. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Then THIS adult is going to eat it all! Down the hatch! *chomp* HAAAAAAAAH! W-water! WATER! Everything buuuuurns! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Feel free to stop eatin' that whenever, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} *wheeeeze* Gonna...finish it... Gonna eat...every last bite... *nibble* The paaaaain! *nibble* Aaaaiiiieeeee! *nibble* Hmm... *chomp* You know what? I think I'm getting used to this. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Or else yer tongue's just gone numb. Either way, ya plowed through that like a real grown-up. Nice job! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} *munch* *horf* Oh man, I LOVE this! Woo-hoo! I did it, Ranzal! I ate everything on the menu! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Then it's time...for the bill. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} No! I want more spice! MORE! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yer killin' me here, kid! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode3Title=Finding a Dream<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; ''One day, Sarisse and Luca visited their parents for the first time in a long while...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Mom! Dad! We're here! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} Oh, thank heavens you're all right! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} 'Course we are! Neither of us is going down without a fight! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Mother}} Do you have ANY idea how worried your father and I have been, young man?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Ha ha! You two haven't changed a bit! Still, I'm surprised you guys are all still hiding out in the forest here. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, me too. I know the Empire leveled our village, but I thought you'd have rebuilt by now. <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} There's a reason for that, unfortunately. <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Mother}} You see, Imperial soldiers are still patrolling the area. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} But I thought the prince drove all those crumbums outta here! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} He did—for a while, at least. But a little after Sarisse left, they started causing trouble again. <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Mother}} Oh no! Invaders! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} Speak of the devil. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} C'mon, Sarisse! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} We'll take care of 'em! Take this! Haaah! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Who the hell are these guys?! Fall back! Fall baaack! <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Child}} Wow, Sarisse! You're super strong! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Well, I've been learning a lot fighting with Euden. <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Child}} You're the best, Luca. Thanks for saving us! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Heh. Just doing what's right. <br /> {{ST|Elder}} You really have grown since I last saw you. You took care of those soldiers as if they were children's playthings. If you were to stay here and protect us, we might even be able to rebuild. Would you perhaps consider this? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I wish I could. Really I do. But I made a promise to fight with Euden. <br /> {{ST|Elder}} Yes, I see. Pray forgive me for asking this of you. And you, Sarisse? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} ...Me? What about me? <br /> {{ST|Elder}} When you left our village, you said you did so in order to help us all. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} That's still how I feel. <br /> {{ST|Elder}} And would not staying in the village more readily allow you to do so? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Well, I suppose that's true, but... <br /> {{ST|Elder}} Please, Sarisse. We need you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I...I need some time to think about this. Can you wait until tomorrow? *sigh* What should I do...? I thought I knew what I wanted, but now... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You okay, Sarisse? I can lend you a big floppy ear if you want it. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aw, thanks, Bro... See, the more I think about it, the more I think the elder is right. If I want to help people, I should stay here and do that. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...But there's more to it than that, right? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I mean, I KNOW that makes sense, and yet... Deep down, I just want to keep fighting with Euden. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I think I get what you're saying. That's exactly how I felt when I decided to leave the village and join up with Euden's merry band. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Really? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yep. There's just something about him. The moment I met him, I felt like I could accomplish the thing I desired most. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Oh yeah? What's that? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} It's...I dunno. My dream, I guess. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yeah, but what IS your dream? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} No way I'm telling you that! It's too embarrassing. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aww, c'mon! I'm your sister! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I don't care who you are! These lips are zipped. All that matters here is that I understand where you're coming from, right? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yeah, but I don't really have a dream or...whatever. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} But you might find one if you stick with Euden long enough. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Hey, yeah! So THAT'S why I want to be with him! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Heh. Sounds like you've got your answer. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Thanks, Luca. I'm sorry, everyone. But I've thought about this a lot, and I'm going to keep fighting with Euden. <br /> {{ST|Elder}} No! You must reconsider! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I'm sorry. I can't. This is how I'm going to fight to bring peace to everyone. And it's also how I'm going to discover what I want to do with my life. <br /> {{ST|Elder}} But what about your people? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Please listen, Elder. Sarisse wants to find her dream, and you can bet whatever she comes up with is going to be way bigger and better than all of us here! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} Please, Elder. Let her go. <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Mother}} Supporting the dreams of children is the duty of parents—and of ALL adults. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Mom! Dad! <br /> {{ST|Elder}} But what will happen to us? What are we to do the next time the soldiers come back? <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Mother}} We'll have to learn to defend ourselves. We cannot keep placing that onerous task on the backs of our children. It's been a long time since I've had a good scrap; I'm looking forward to it! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} Let's go easy now, honey... <br /> {{ST|Elder}} *sigh* I suppose you are right. Go forth and live your life, Sarisse. We will keep your people safe. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aw, thanks, everybody! I won't let you down! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode4Title=A Path to Follow<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Whew! That was one exhausting journey. Good thing I've got a bed in the castle with my name on it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I hear you. Let's hurry up and get back. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Hey, you guys smell that? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} It smells like something is burning. ...Ah! Look there! Smoke! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} There's a village over there, right? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yeah, that one we used to trade with back in the day. Please tell me it's not actually on fire! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We'd better go check it out. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Oh no! It's been destroyed! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Could it be the work of fire-breathing fiends, perhaps? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} This ain't fiends. Look here—these prints are from military-issue boots. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Look! There's someone on the ground! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Easy, now. Let me heal you. <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Villager}} You...saved my life... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Who did this? <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Villager}} The Empire—they swept through without mercy. What did we ever do to them?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} They did the same to our own village some time back. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} And we're seeing similar things happening all over the continent now. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I'll never forgive them for this... I've got to take down the Empire! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I like yer spirit, but... Takin' on fiends and takin' on the entire Empire are two very different things. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} How? They're both just strong foes. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Think about it for just a minute. ...The answer's right in front of ya. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Elisanne! Luca! You two move the rubble! We're going to save the people trapped undeneath! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} On it! ...We're here to help! Answer if you can hear us! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You're gonna be okay! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Cleo, you heal the wounded. Try to prioritize the most heavily injured. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Understood. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} He's such a natural leader... Is this what you were talking about when you said there's a difference between fighting the Empire and fighting fiends? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yep. When ya fight a fiend, ya just gotta focus on what's in front of ya. But the Empire's bigger than any pack'a fiends. Even if ya beat the guy in front, yer gonna lose other battles somewhere down the line. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Then what should we do? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Think about the big picture. For example, ya gotta go back to places where ya lost and take care of who's left. If ya do that, maybe they turn into allies what can help out later on. The prince knows that better'n anyone. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Ranzal, can you give me a hand? We need to fashion some temporary huts for these people to live in. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} On it, boss! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} He's taking the time to build huts? I never would have thought of that... If it was up to me, we'd just be chasing down the soldiers who did this. This must be what Ranzal meant when he talked about &quot;the big picture.&quot; The prince wants to earn victory for everyone—with the HELP of everyone! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Sarisse! Over here! There might still be others who need our help; we have to save them all if we can. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I'll do my best! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You're going to be all right. Your mom is in that hut there. <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Child}} Mommy! <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Villager}} Oh, thank goodness you're all right! How can I possibly thank you for saving my child? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I know you two have been through a lot, but everything is going to be all right. Let's get back to looking, Sarisse. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Look at all the people you're saving, Euden! It's amazing! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm just a very small part of this. Without all of you at my side, none of it would be possible. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Bzzzzt! Wrong. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Huh? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} There's just something about you that makes others WANT to help you. I know, because I feel it myself. That's a special quality—there are very few people who have it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm honored that you think so. Thank you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yep! You're one in a million for sure. I wonder if I'll ever be like you? Wait a second... Ah-ha! That's IT! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Er, what's it? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I just thought of something! Something great! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Oh? Glad to hear it. Now, let's help those people! Attention, villagers! We're here to help, and we won't leave until the last one of you is safe! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} (I think I've finally found the path I should be following... If I make the prince my role model... I should be able to find my own dream!) &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode5Title=Sarisse's Grand Dream<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You have a sec, Ranzal? There's something I've been meaning to ask you. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Shoot. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} We're just here to gather up people who've lost their homes in the war, right? So is there really a need for Euden to go out of his way to come along? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Heh. Yer answer's right over there. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Please follow us, everyone. You can stay at our castle for as long as you like. <br /> {{ST|Elderly Refugee}} I can't believe the prince himself has come to our aid! <br /> {{ST|Female Refugee}} What an honor! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} These folks've been through hell and back, but he knows just how to put 'em at ease. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Heh. That is SO like him. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} *pant* *pant* <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Are you well, Euden? Your breathing is terribly uneven. Oh no! Your face is bright red! Do you have a fever?! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Please just...don't fuss over me... If others see me like this... they might lose heart... <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Euden! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I have returned from my patrol and am ready to give my repor—YOUR HIGHNESS! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} He collapsed from a fever—most likely caused by overwork. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Cleo, you must heal him right away! ...Wait, no! I have to give my report! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Has something happened, Elisanne? It's not like you to lose your composure. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I fear there are imperial soldiers waiting on the road ahead. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} So? Those chumps are a dime a dozen. We'll take 'em out and keep moving. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} That would be all well and good if we were unaccompanied, but we must protect the civilians who travel with us. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} And we got wounded and elderly with us, so we can't be divergin' off into the woods. <br /> {{ST|Refugee Child}} Um, guys? What's wrong? Why is everyone so serious? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Uh oh. Now the kids are worried... That's the very thing the prince was trying to avoid by coming with us. Well then, it's time to do what HE would do at a time like this! Everything's going to be fine, folks! You're all in good hands! <br /> {{ST|Refugee Child}} You're gonna protect us? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} That's right. We've protected plenty of villages that were attacked by the Empire. So don't you worry about a thing. You'll be safe with us! <br /> {{ST|Refugee Child}} Yay! Thanks, lady! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Right then! How many imperial soldiers are we talking about, Elisanne? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Not that many, but they appear formidable. It's likely a small, elite unit. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Well, at least they can't surround us. Can we force our way through? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Ordinarily, perhaps. But to attempt that while traveling with civilians... <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} In that case, I'll act as a decoy. Once I lead the soldiers away, you take these people and go. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} By yourself? That sounds like a very reckless plan. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} But at least it's only dangerous for me and not everyone else. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm opposed, too. It's just too dangerous alone. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} B-but... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, let me finish. I'm opposed, but... If Euden were here, I think he'd say the same thing you did. He'd say that we can't put those people in danger. ...So that's why I'm coming with you. Two decoys mean half the chance of something going wrong. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aw, thanks, Luca! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} It's a crazy plan—but if anybody can pull it off, it's these two. The moment ya pull them soldiers away, we'll take the civilians and push through. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} This is going to work. I know it! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I swear it on my honor as a Paladyn to keep these villagers safe. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} ...Be safe, Sarisse. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} We'll see each other again soon. All right, let's do this. Yaaaaaaaaah! <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''With the courageous efforts of Sarisse and Luca, everyone made it safely to the castle. And the next day...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Thank you so much, Sarisse. I don't know what we would have done without you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You sure you should be up and around there, Euden? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm a little woozy, but I'll be all right. I heard what happened yesterday; what you did was amazing. They say you took command in my place? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Oh, I dunno if I &quot;took command&quot; so much as I tried to do what I thought you'd do. Besides, everyone else did all the heavy lifting, so it's not really a big deal. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Do you remember what you said to me when we were helping the village that was attacked by the Empire? You said people who make you want to help others are special. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Sure, I remember. Er, but why are you bringing it up now? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Don't you see? Everyone helped you, which means YOU have this special talent. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Now that you mention it, we did simply do as she bade us without hesitation. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} She's thoughtful of others, has a strong sense of right and wrong, and takes charge of the situation. It was like watching a little Euden in action. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Okay, stop it! But if you really think I can be like Euden one day... That means I've found my dream! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's great news. I'm sure everyone back home will be happy to hear it. So are you gonna fill us in on this dream of yours or what? I bet it's a real whopper! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I'm gonna become chief of a new village! <br /> {{ST|Everyone}} WHAAAAT?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's a bit unrealistic, don't you think? I mean you've gotta find somewhere everyone can live, THEN bring people with completely different opinions together? Sounds impossible to me! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} But our village only existed because someone started it, right? There've been loads of chiefs ever since, but SOMEONE had to be the founder. So why can't I found my own? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, sure. But what made you come up with this crazy plan to begin with? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I want to be for sylvans what Euden is for all of us. Someone who fights alongside everyone for the good of all. And since the closest thing sylvans have to royalty is a chief, I'll just have to become one of those! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Heh, you make it sound like no big deal. Well, if you've made your mind up, it's not my job to change it—it's my job to stand back and cheer you on! But man, Sarisse. I figured you'd land on something big, but I didn't think it would be THIS big! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} If anyone can pull this off, it's her. No matter how tough the road ahead might be, her spirit will see her through. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aw, thanks, guys! Just you wait. This dream WILL happen! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}<br /> [[Category:To-Do Adventurer Voice Lines]]</div>

There's no end to these things! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Keep fighting! We have to save the village! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Besides, ain't you the one what was struttin' around earlier talkin' about how easy this was gonna be? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, yeah, I know. ...Okay, then. I said I'd do it, so I'm gonna do it! Time for a Luca special. Eat this, fiends! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaaagh... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You took out two at once! Pretty impressive, Luca. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That wasn't me. My bow's still nocked. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Er, then who was it? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} No idea. But whoever they are, they have some SERIOUS bow skills. I don't think I could make a shot like that. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Oh, I don't know about that. I've seen you make some pretty impossible shots. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sure, but look at where the arrows pierced these two—straight through the heart, both of 'em. That's one in a million. I mean, yeah, I could probably make a shot like that, but not without a lot of luck. <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Raaargh! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Luca, watch out! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Aw, crap! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaargh! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, now I owe this mystery archer a HUGE thank you! <br /> {{ST|???}} You two all right over there? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} We're fine—but I think I owe you a dinner. Or maybe THREE dinners, considering how many fiends you just took out. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Not necessary; I'm just glad you're... Wait a second. LUCA?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} SARISSE?! What are YOU doing here?! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Wait. Ain't that...? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Luca's little sister, yes. We met her back at their village. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Euden! It's been a while. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} It's great to see you again, Sarisse, but what are you doing here? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Oh, I'm just out on a little fiend hunt. The same villagers who asked you for help also wanted me to pitch in. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Now THAT'S a piece of encouragin' news! Right, Euden? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} If she's as good as those last two shots, she'll be an incredible asset. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, everybody just slow your rolls! Don't I get a say in this? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Er, why would your say not be &quot;yes&quot;? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Because this is my little SISTER, man! Exterminating fiends is dangerous work. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yeah, but you were JUST goin' on and on about how skilled this mystery archer person was! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Was I, though? No, I don't think so. It was more of a head-nod, &quot;yeah, I guess that was okay&quot; kind of thing. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Luca called me skilled? Woohoo! You finally recognized my ability! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I said those things in the heat of the moment! Now, after careful reflection, it's clear that I was over-effusive. Regardless, there's no WAY I'm letting you chase around a bunch of fiends! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} But you said I was skilled! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I know you too well. You're looking at this like some game to test your skills. If you go into combat thinking like that... <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Now hold on! When did I say anything like that? I'm taking my fiend-hunting duties completely seriously! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Fiend-hunting...duties? Wait, what? What are you— <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Listen, I get that you guys have this sibling mind-meld thing goin' on, but— <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse}} WE DO NOT! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} But yer startin' to attract an audience! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Raaargh! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Uh oh. We're surrounded! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, fine. You can help us, Sarisse. But JUST this one time, got it?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You have to be kidding me. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} See? I knew she'd be thrilled! ...Wait, what did you say? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I said that you're an IDIOT, Luca! First you treat me like a useless kid, and now you want my HELP?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm just trying to keep you safe! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} And I'M just trying to help people! What's so wrong with that? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Well...okay, yeah that's not a bad reason... Look, all I'm saying is that you should have talked to me about this before you just ran off and started arrowing fiends. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I can decide how to live my own life, thank you very much! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sarisse, wait! Don't go running off! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I'm going to kill every last fiend here! Maybe THEN you'll admit I know what the heck I'm doing! Taaaaake THIS! Hiyaaaaa! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Raaargh.... <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Right then! Who's next?! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Rrrgh! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Attacking from behind? Not cool! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Stay the hell away from my sister! Haaah! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Luca! You saved meeeeeee...um...a tiny bit of trouble. Yep! That's all you did. Still, I SUPPOSE we can call it even for me saving you earlier—even though I did that, like, three times. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm sorry, Sarisse. This is all my fault. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Come again? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I owe you an apology. I totally disregarded your feelings, and that was wrong. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You mean it? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah. But I also wanna say one thing... PLEASE be more careful! It makes me CRAZY when you just go running off into danger like that! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You were that worried about me... I'm sorry, too. I shouldn't have just run off and started plunking fools like that. <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Raaargh! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Woah, look at the size of this fella. It must be their leader. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} C'mon, Luca! We'll take it down together! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You got it! Time to show 'em what we can do! <br /> {{ST|Sarisse &amp; Luca}} Sylvan Sibling Speciaaaaaaal! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaaaaarrrgh... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Told ya you two had a sibling mind-meld. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Agreed. That was impressive. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Heh. Thanks, Euden. But yeah, there was something different about that shot we did just now, right? Something amazing! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's what happens when you fight alongside someone. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Huh. Well, I'll be. Well, in that case, I'm coming with you, Euden! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We'd love your help! Er, but what do you think about all this, Luca? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, now that you've learned how to work with others, I'm fine with it. You're really growing up, Sis! Welcome to the team. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aw, thanks, you two. Those stupid fiends aren't gonna know what hit 'em! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode2Title=The Spice of Life<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Gala Sarisse}} La la laaa ♪ That was so fun! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You seem awfully happy, Sarisse. Did something nice happen? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yep! I bought some amazing thread for suuuuper cheap here in town. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Thread? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yeah, I'm kinda into embroidery. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That seems like a nice hobby. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} It's pretty great, all right. But yeah, I can't tell you how awesome that village shopping place was. It was full of these colorful outdoor stalls where everyone was yelling and arguing about prices. So great! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Oh! That's a flea market. It's where you go to sell old things you don't need anymore. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Do they sell fleas? Ah ha ha! Oh man, I slay me. ...Oh, but wait! There's more! I haggled with somebody! HAGGLED! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Bwa ha ha! Yeah, hagglin' is the best. The shopkeeps are usually reduced to tears when ol' Ranzal's done with 'em. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I KNOW, right? Every time they'd lower the price, I'd be like, &quot;That is an INSULT, sir! Don't you know who I am?!&quot; <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Bwaaa ha ha! I love it! Maybe we're more alike than I thought. I mean, I feel kinda bad for the shopkeeps, but that's just the flea-market game! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} It was a total blast—and I owe it all to you, Euden! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm not sure what I did here. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} If I hadn't joined you and your pals, I never would have come to a town this far from my home! THAT'S why I owe it all to you. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} In that case, you're welcome. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Shoppin' is all well and good, but it ain't the only fun thing about this town. There's also the food. Speakin' of which, I know a little place you just gotta try! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yessss! Take me, take me, take meeee! Pleeeeeeease? Wait, crap! Noooo! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} What's wrong? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I blew all my money at the flea market. *sniff* Guess I'll just have to go home and eat rocks tonight. Cheap, cheap rocks... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Aw, don't be like that. It'll be my treat! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Reeeeally?! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} 'Course! You and me got lots in common after all, yeah? Sharin' a meal is gonna be a blast. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Sarisse does have a certain way of brightening the air around her. Go ahead and enjoy your dinner, Sarisse. I'll let Luca know what's going on. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Ya hear that? We've been ordered to go eat by royalty. Got no choice now. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yaaaay! Thanks, you two! ...Ranzal, this menu is CRAZYPANTS! I've never heard of half this stuff! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Well then, order whatever sounds good. It's all on me! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aaaanything? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yep! Go hog-wild, kid. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Excuse me? Waiter? We'd like to order! Okay, so I want this...and this... Oh, and some of these... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} (Huh. She's orderin' a whole lot'a food for such a tiny kid.) <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} And a dozen of these... Oooo, and this! Oh, and can I get this in a trough? Is that a serving size you guys do? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} A trough?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} *BRRRP!* ...Oh my gosh, Ranzal, that was the best meal ever. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I didn't think there was any way ya'd eat all'a that, but ya did! Nice job, kid. Guess we should grab the bill now, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} The bill? Heck no! I'm just getting started! I still need to try the salad, and the fish, and that giant haunch of meat, and... You know what? Let's just go ahead and order one of everything! We'll make it a challenge to ourselves. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Nnngh! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You okay, Ranzal? You've gone all pale. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} *cough* D-don't worry 'bout me... <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Well, if you're sure... Okay, time to order! Excuse me! Waiter! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I'm gonna be a broke joker by the time this night's done...but a promise is a promise, so I gotta see it through! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Boy, there isn't a bad item on the menu. I can see why you love this place! Wait, what's this way down here? The &quot;Helltongue Spicy Special&quot;? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yeah, I dunno if yer gonna dig that one. It's more of an adult taste. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Then THIS adult is going to eat it all! Down the hatch! *chomp* HAAAAAAAAH! W-water! WATER! Everything buuuuurns! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Feel free to stop eatin' that whenever, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} *wheeeeze* Gonna...finish it... Gonna eat...every last bite... *nibble* The paaaaain! *nibble* Aaaaiiiieeeee! *nibble* Hmm... *chomp* You know what? I think I'm getting used to this. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Or else yer tongue's just gone numb. Either way, ya plowed through that like a real grown-up. Nice job! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} *munch* *horf* Oh man, I LOVE this! Woo-hoo! I did it, Ranzal! I ate everything on the menu! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Then it's time...for the bill. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} No! I want more spice! MORE! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yer killin' me here, kid! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode3Title=Finding a Dream<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; ''One day, Sarisse and Luca visited their parents for the first time in a long while...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Mom! Dad! We're here! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} Oh, thank heavens you're all right! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} 'Course we are! Neither of us is going down without a fight! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Mother}} Do you have ANY idea how worried your father and I have been, young man?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Ha ha! You two haven't changed a bit! Still, I'm surprised you guys are all still hiding out in the forest here. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, me too. I know the Empire leveled our village, but I thought you'd have rebuilt by now. <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} There's a reason for that, unfortunately. <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Mother}} You see, Imperial soldiers are still patrolling the area. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} But I thought the prince drove all those crumbums outta here! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} He did—for a while, at least. But a little after Sarisse left, they started causing trouble again. <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Mother}} Oh no! Invaders! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} Speak of the devil. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} C'mon, Sarisse! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} We'll take care of 'em! Take this! Haaah! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Who the hell are these guys?! Fall back! Fall baaack! <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Child}} Wow, Sarisse! You're super strong! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Well, I've been learning a lot fighting with Euden. <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Child}} You're the best, Luca. Thanks for saving us! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Heh. Just doing what's right. <br /> {{ST|Elder}} You really have grown since I last saw you. You took care of those soldiers as if they were children's playthings. If you were to stay here and protect us, we might even be able to rebuild. Would you perhaps consider this? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I wish I could. Really I do. But I made a promise to fight with Euden. <br /> {{ST|Elder}} Yes, I see. Pray forgive me for asking this of you. And you, Sarisse? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} ...Me? What about me? <br /> {{ST|Elder}} When you left our village, you said you did so in order to help us all. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} That's still how I feel. <br /> {{ST|Elder}} And would not staying in the village more readily allow you to do so? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Well, I suppose that's true, but... <br /> {{ST|Elder}} Please, Sarisse. We need you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I...I need some time to think about this. Can you wait until tomorrow? *sigh* What should I do...? I thought I knew what I wanted, but now... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You okay, Sarisse? I can lend you a big floppy ear if you want it. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aw, thanks, Bro... See, the more I think about it, the more I think the elder is right. If I want to help people, I should stay here and do that. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...But there's more to it than that, right? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I mean, I KNOW that makes sense, and yet... Deep down, I just want to keep fighting with Euden. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I think I get what you're saying. That's exactly how I felt when I decided to leave the village and join up with Euden's merry band. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Really? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yep. There's just something about him. The moment I met him, I felt like I could accomplish the thing I desired most. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Oh yeah? What's that? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} It's...I dunno. My dream, I guess. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yeah, but what IS your dream? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} No way I'm telling you that! It's too embarrassing. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aww, c'mon! I'm your sister! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I don't care who you are! These lips are zipped. All that matters here is that I understand where you're coming from, right? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yeah, but I don't really have a dream or...whatever. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} But you might find one if you stick with Euden long enough. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Hey, yeah! So THAT'S why I want to be with him! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Heh. Sounds like you've got your answer. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Thanks, Luca. I'm sorry, everyone. But I've thought about this a lot, and I'm going to keep fighting with Euden. <br /> {{ST|Elder}} No! You must reconsider! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I'm sorry. I can't. This is how I'm going to fight to bring peace to everyone. And it's also how I'm going to discover what I want to do with my life. <br /> {{ST|Elder}} But what about your people? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Please listen, Elder. Sarisse wants to find her dream, and you can bet whatever she comes up with is going to be way bigger and better than all of us here! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} Please, Elder. Let her go. <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Mother}} Supporting the dreams of children is the duty of parents—and of ALL adults. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Mom! Dad! <br /> {{ST|Elder}} But what will happen to us? What are we to do the next time the soldiers come back? <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Mother}} We'll have to learn to defend ourselves. We cannot keep placing that onerous task on the backs of our children. It's been a long time since I've had a good scrap; I'm looking forward to it! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} Let's go easy now, honey... <br /> {{ST|Elder}} *sigh* I suppose you are right. Go forth and live your life, Sarisse. We will keep your people safe. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aw, thanks, everybody! I won't let you down! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode4Title=A Path to Follow<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Whew! That was one exhausting journey. Good thing I've got a bed in the castle with my name on it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I hear you. Let's hurry up and get back. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Hey, you guys smell that? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} It smells like something is burning. ...Ah! Look there! Smoke! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} There's a village over there, right? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yeah, that one we used to trade with back in the day. Please tell me it's not actually on fire! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We'd better go check it out. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Oh no! It's been destroyed! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Could it be the work of fire-breathing fiends, perhaps? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} This ain't fiends. Look here—these prints are from military-issue boots. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Look! There's someone on the ground! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Easy, now. Let me heal you. <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Villager}} You...saved my life... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Who did this? <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Villager}} The Empire—they swept through without mercy. What did we ever do to them?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} They did the same to our own village some time back. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} And we're seeing similar things happening all over the continent now. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I'll never forgive them for this... I've got to take down the Empire! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I like yer spirit, but... Takin' on fiends and takin' on the entire Empire are two very different things. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} How? They're both just strong foes. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Think about it for just a minute. ...The answer's right in front of ya. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Elisanne! Luca! You two move the rubble! We're going to save the people trapped undeneath! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} On it! ...We're here to help! Answer if you can hear us! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You're gonna be okay! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Cleo, you heal the wounded. Try to prioritize the most heavily injured. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Understood. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} He's such a natural leader... Is this what you were talking about when you said there's a difference between fighting the Empire and fighting fiends? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yep. When ya fight a fiend, ya just gotta focus on what's in front of ya. But the Empire's bigger than any pack'a fiends. Even if ya beat the guy in front, yer gonna lose other battles somewhere down the line. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Then what should we do? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Think about the big picture. For example, ya gotta go back to places where ya lost and take care of who's left. If ya do that, maybe they turn into allies what can help out later on. The prince knows that better'n anyone. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Ranzal, can you give me a hand? We need to fashion some temporary huts for these people to live in. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} On it, boss! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} He's taking the time to build huts? I never would have thought of that... If it was up to me, we'd just be chasing down the soldiers who did this. This must be what Ranzal meant when he talked about &quot;the big picture.&quot; The prince wants to earn victory for everyone—with the HELP of everyone! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Sarisse! Over here! There might still be others who need our help; we have to save them all if we can. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I'll do my best! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You're going to be all right. Your mom is in that hut there. <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Child}} Mommy! <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Villager}} Oh, thank goodness you're all right! How can I possibly thank you for saving my child? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I know you two have been through a lot, but everything is going to be all right. Let's get back to looking, Sarisse. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Look at all the people you're saving, Euden! It's amazing! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm just a very small part of this. Without all of you at my side, none of it would be possible. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Bzzzzt! Wrong. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Huh? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} There's just something about you that makes others WANT to help you. I know, because I feel it myself. That's a special quality—there are very few people who have it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm honored that you think so. Thank you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yep! You're one in a million for sure. I wonder if I'll ever be like you? Wait a second... Ah-ha! That's IT! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Er, what's it? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I just thought of something! Something great! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Oh? Glad to hear it. Now, let's help those people! Attention, villagers! We're here to help, and we won't leave until the last one of you is safe! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} (I think I've finally found the path I should be following... If I make the prince my role model... I should be able to find my own dream!) &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode5Title=Sarisse's Grand Dream<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You have a sec, Ranzal? There's something I've been meaning to ask you. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Shoot. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} We're just here to gather up people who've lost their homes in the war, right? So is there really a need for Euden to go out of his way to come along? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Heh. Yer answer's right over there. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Please follow us, everyone. You can stay at our castle for as long as you like. <br /> {{ST|Elderly Refugee}} I can't believe the prince himself has come to our aid! <br /> {{ST|Female Refugee}} What an honor! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} These folks've been through hell and back, but he knows just how to put 'em at ease. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Heh. That is SO like him. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} *pant* *pant* <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Are you well, Euden? Your breathing is terribly uneven. Oh no! Your face is bright red! Do you have a fever?! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Please just...don't fuss over me... If others see me like this... they might lose heart... <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Euden! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I have returned from my patrol and am ready to give my repor—YOUR HIGHNESS! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} He collapsed from a fever—most likely caused by overwork. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Cleo, you must heal him right away! ...Wait, no! I have to give my report! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Has something happened, Elisanne? It's not like you to lose your composure. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I fear there are imperial soldiers waiting on the road ahead. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} So? Those chumps are a dime a dozen. We'll take 'em out and keep moving. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} That would be all well and good if we were unaccompanied, but we must protect the civilians who travel with us. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} And we got wounded and elderly with us, so we can't be divergin' off into the woods. <br /> {{ST|Refugee Child}} Um, guys? What's wrong? Why is everyone so serious? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Uh oh. Now the kids are worried... That's the very thing the prince was trying to avoid by coming with us. Well then, it's time to do what HE would do at a time like this! Everything's going to be fine, folks! You're all in good hands! <br /> {{ST|Refugee Child}} You're gonna protect us? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} That's right. We've protected plenty of villages that were attacked by the Empire. So don't you worry about a thing. You'll be safe with us! <br /> {{ST|Refugee Child}} Yay! Thanks, lady! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Right then! How many imperial soldiers are we talking about, Elisanne? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Not that many, but they appear formidable. It's likely a small, elite unit. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Well, at least they can't surround us. Can we force our way through? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Ordinarily, perhaps. But to attempt that while traveling with civilians... <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} In that case, I'll act as a decoy. Once I lead the soldiers away, you take these people and go. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} By yourself? That sounds like a very reckless plan. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} But at least it's only dangerous for me and not everyone else. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm opposed, too. It's just too dangerous alone. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} B-but... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, let me finish. I'm opposed, but... If Euden were here, I think he'd say the same thing you did. He'd say that we can't put those people in danger. ...So that's why I'm coming with you. Two decoys mean half the chance of something going wrong. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aw, thanks, Luca! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} It's a crazy plan—but if anybody can pull it off, it's these two. The moment ya pull them soldiers away, we'll take the civilians and push through. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} This is going to work. I know it! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I swear it on my honor as a Paladyn to keep these villagers safe. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} ...Be safe, Sarisse. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} We'll see each other again soon. All right, let's do this. Yaaaaaaaaah! <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''With the courageous efforts of Sarisse and Luca, everyone made it safely to the castle. And the next day...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Thank you so much, Sarisse. I don't know what we would have done without you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You sure you should be up and around there, Euden? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm a little woozy, but I'll be all right. I heard what happened yesterday; what you did was amazing. They say you took command in my place? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Oh, I dunno if I &quot;took command&quot; so much as I tried to do what I thought you'd do. Besides, everyone else did all the heavy lifting, so it's not really a big deal. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Do you remember what you said to me when we were helping the village that was attacked by the Empire? You said people who make you want to help others are special. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Sure, I remember. Er, but why are you bringing it up now? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Don't you see? Everyone helped you, which means YOU have this special talent. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Now that you mention it, we did simply do as she bade us without hesitation. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} She's thoughtful of others, has a strong sense of right and wrong, and takes charge of the situation. It was like watching a little Euden in action. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Okay, stop it! But if you really think I can be like Euden one day... That means I've found my dream! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's great news. I'm sure everyone back home will be happy to hear it. So are you gonna fill us in on this dream of yours or what? I bet it's a real whopper! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I'm gonna become chief of a new village! <br /> {{ST|Everyone}} WHAAAAT?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's a bit unrealistic, don't you think? I mean you've gotta find somewhere everyone can live, THEN bring people with completely different opinions together? Sounds impossible to me! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} But our village only existed because someone started it, right? There've been loads of chiefs ever since, but SOMEONE had to be the founder. So why can't I found my own? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, sure. But what made you come up with this crazy plan to begin with? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I want to be for sylvans what Euden is for all of us. Someone who fights alongside everyone for the good of all. And since the closest thing sylvans have to royalty is a chief, I'll just have to become one of those! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Heh, you make it sound like no big deal. Well, if you've made your mind up, it's not my job to change it—it's my job to stand back and cheer you on! But man, Sarisse. I figured you'd land on something big, but I didn't think it would be THIS big! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} If anyone can pull this off, it's her. No matter how tough the road ahead might be, her spirit will see her through. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aw, thanks, guys! Just you wait. This dream WILL happen! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}<br /> [[Category:To-Do Adventurer Voice Lines]]</div>

There's no end to these things! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Keep fighting! We have to save the village! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Besides, ain't you the one what was struttin' around earlier talkin' about how easy this was gonna be? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, yeah, I know. ...Okay, then. I said I'd do it, so I'm gonna do it! Time for a Luca special. Eat this, fiends! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaaagh... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You took out two at once! Pretty impressive, Luca. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That wasn't me. My bow's still nocked. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Er, then who was it? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} No idea. But whoever they are, they have some SERIOUS bow skills. I don't think I could make a shot like that. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Oh, I don't know about that. I've seen you make some pretty impossible shots. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sure, but look at where the arrows pierced these two—straight through the heart, both of 'em. That's one in a million. I mean, yeah, I could probably make a shot like that, but not without a lot of luck. <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Raaargh! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Luca, watch out! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Aw, crap! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaargh! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, now I owe this mystery archer a HUGE thank you! <br /> {{ST|???}} You two all right over there? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} We're fine—but I think I owe you a dinner. Or maybe THREE dinners, considering how many fiends you just took out. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Not necessary; I'm just glad you're... Wait a second. LUCA?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} SARISSE?! What are YOU doing here?! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Wait. Ain't that...? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Luca's little sister, yes. We met her back at their village. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Euden! It's been a while. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} It's great to see you again, Sarisse, but what are you doing here? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Oh, I'm just out on a little fiend hunt. The same villagers who asked you for help also wanted me to pitch in. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Now THAT'S a piece of encouragin' news! Right, Euden? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} If she's as good as those last two shots, she'll be an incredible asset. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, everybody just slow your rolls! Don't I get a say in this? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Er, why would your say not be &quot;yes&quot;? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Because this is my little SISTER, man! Exterminating fiends is dangerous work. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yeah, but you were JUST goin' on and on about how skilled this mystery archer person was! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Was I, though? No, I don't think so. It was more of a head-nod, &quot;yeah, I guess that was okay&quot; kind of thing. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Luca called me skilled? Woohoo! You finally recognized my ability! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I said those things in the heat of the moment! Now, after careful reflection, it's clear that I was over-effusive. Regardless, there's no WAY I'm letting you chase around a bunch of fiends! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} But you said I was skilled! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I know you too well. You're looking at this like some game to test your skills. If you go into combat thinking like that... <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Now hold on! When did I say anything like that? I'm taking my fiend-hunting duties completely seriously! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Fiend-hunting...duties? Wait, what? What are you— <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Listen, I get that you guys have this sibling mind-meld thing goin' on, but— <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse}} WE DO NOT! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} But yer startin' to attract an audience! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Raaargh! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Uh oh. We're surrounded! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, fine. You can help us, Sarisse. But JUST this one time, got it?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You have to be kidding me. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} See? I knew she'd be thrilled! ...Wait, what did you say? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I said that you're an IDIOT, Luca! First you treat me like a useless kid, and now you want my HELP?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm just trying to keep you safe! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} And I'M just trying to help people! What's so wrong with that? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Well...okay, yeah that's not a bad reason... Look, all I'm saying is that you should have talked to me about this before you just ran off and started arrowing fiends. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I can decide how to live my own life, thank you very much! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sarisse, wait! Don't go running off! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I'm going to kill every last fiend here! Maybe THEN you'll admit I know what the heck I'm doing! Taaaaake THIS! Hiyaaaaa! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Raaargh.... <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Right then! Who's next?! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Rrrgh! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Attacking from behind? Not cool! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Stay the hell away from my sister! Haaah! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Luca! You saved meeeeeee...um...a tiny bit of trouble. Yep! That's all you did. Still, I SUPPOSE we can call it even for me saving you earlier—even though I did that, like, three times. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm sorry, Sarisse. This is all my fault. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Come again? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I owe you an apology. I totally disregarded your feelings, and that was wrong. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You mean it? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah. But I also wanna say one thing... PLEASE be more careful! It makes me CRAZY when you just go running off into danger like that! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You were that worried about me... I'm sorry, too. I shouldn't have just run off and started plunking fools like that. <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Raaargh! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Woah, look at the size of this fella. It must be their leader. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} C'mon, Luca! We'll take it down together! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You got it! Time to show 'em what we can do! <br /> {{ST|Sarisse &amp; Luca}} Sylvan Sibling Speciaaaaaaal! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaaaaarrrgh... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Told ya you two had a sibling mind-meld. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Agreed. That was impressive. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Heh. Thanks, Euden. But yeah, there was something different about that shot we did just now, right? Something amazing! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's what happens when you fight alongside someone. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Huh. Well, I'll be. Well, in that case, I'm coming with you, Euden! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We'd love your help! Er, but what do you think about all this, Luca? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, now that you've learned how to work with others, I'm fine with it. You're really growing up, Sis! Welcome to the team. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aw, thanks, you two. Those stupid fiends aren't gonna know what hit 'em! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode2Title=The Spice of Life<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Gala Sarisse}} La la laaa ♪ That was so fun! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You seem awfully happy, Sarisse. Did something nice happen? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yep! I bought some amazing thread for suuuuper cheap here in town. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Thread? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yeah, I'm kinda into embroidery. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That seems like a nice hobby. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} It's pretty great, all right. But yeah, I can't tell you how awesome that village shopping place was. It was full of these colorful outdoor stalls where everyone was yelling and arguing about prices. So great! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Oh! That's a flea market. It's where you go to sell old things you don't need anymore. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Do they sell fleas? Ah ha ha! Oh man, I slay me. ...Oh, but wait! There's more! I haggled with somebody! HAGGLED! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Bwa ha ha! Yeah, hagglin' is the best. The shopkeeps are usually reduced to tears when ol' Ranzal's done with 'em. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I KNOW, right? Every time they'd lower the price, I'd be like, &quot;That is an INSULT, sir! Don't you know who I am?!&quot; <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Bwaaa ha ha! I love it! Maybe we're more alike than I thought. I mean, I feel kinda bad for the shopkeeps, but that's just the flea-market game! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} It was a total blast—and I owe it all to you, Euden! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm not sure what I did here. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} If I hadn't joined you and your pals, I never would have come to a town this far from my home! THAT'S why I owe it all to you. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} In that case, you're welcome. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Shoppin' is all well and good, but it ain't the only fun thing about this town. There's also the food. Speakin' of which, I know a little place you just gotta try! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yessss! Take me, take me, take meeee! Pleeeeeeease? Wait, crap! Noooo! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} What's wrong? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I blew all my money at the flea market. *sniff* Guess I'll just have to go home and eat rocks tonight. Cheap, cheap rocks... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Aw, don't be like that. It'll be my treat! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Reeeeally?! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} 'Course! You and me got lots in common after all, yeah? Sharin' a meal is gonna be a blast. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Sarisse does have a certain way of brightening the air around her. Go ahead and enjoy your dinner, Sarisse. I'll let Luca know what's going on. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Ya hear that? We've been ordered to go eat by royalty. Got no choice now. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yaaaay! Thanks, you two! ...Ranzal, this menu is CRAZYPANTS! I've never heard of half this stuff! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Well then, order whatever sounds good. It's all on me! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aaaanything? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yep! Go hog-wild, kid. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Excuse me? Waiter? We'd like to order! Okay, so I want this...and this... Oh, and some of these... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} (Huh. She's orderin' a whole lot'a food for such a tiny kid.) <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} And a dozen of these... Oooo, and this! Oh, and can I get this in a trough? Is that a serving size you guys do? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} A trough?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} *BRRRP!* ...Oh my gosh, Ranzal, that was the best meal ever. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I didn't think there was any way ya'd eat all'a that, but ya did! Nice job, kid. Guess we should grab the bill now, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} The bill? Heck no! I'm just getting started! I still need to try the salad, and the fish, and that giant haunch of meat, and... You know what? Let's just go ahead and order one of everything! We'll make it a challenge to ourselves. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Nnngh! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You okay, Ranzal? You've gone all pale. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} *cough* D-don't worry 'bout me... <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Well, if you're sure... Okay, time to order! Excuse me! Waiter! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I'm gonna be a broke joker by the time this night's done...but a promise is a promise, so I gotta see it through! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Boy, there isn't a bad item on the menu. I can see why you love this place! Wait, what's this way down here? The &quot;Helltongue Spicy Special&quot;? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yeah, I dunno if yer gonna dig that one. It's more of an adult taste. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Then THIS adult is going to eat it all! Down the hatch! *chomp* HAAAAAAAAH! W-water! WATER! Everything buuuuurns! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Feel free to stop eatin' that whenever, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} *wheeeeze* Gonna...finish it... Gonna eat...every last bite... *nibble* The paaaaain! *nibble* Aaaaiiiieeeee! *nibble* Hmm... *chomp* You know what? I think I'm getting used to this. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Or else yer tongue's just gone numb. Either way, ya plowed through that like a real grown-up. Nice job! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} *munch* *horf* Oh man, I LOVE this! Woo-hoo! I did it, Ranzal! I ate everything on the menu! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Then it's time...for the bill. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} No! I want more spice! MORE! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yer killin' me here, kid! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode3Title=Finding a Dream<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; ''One day, Sarisse and Luca visited their parents for the first time in a long while...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Mom! Dad! We're here! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} Oh, thank heavens you're all right! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} 'Course we are! Neither of us is going down without a fight! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Mother}} Do you have ANY idea how worried your father and I have been, young man?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Ha ha! You two haven't changed a bit! Still, I'm surprised you guys are all still hiding out in the forest here. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, me too. I know the Empire leveled our village, but I thought you'd have rebuilt by now. <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} There's a reason for that, unfortunately. <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Mother}} You see, Imperial soldiers are still patrolling the area. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} But I thought the prince drove all those crumbums outta here! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} He did—for a while, at least. But a little after Sarisse left, they started causing trouble again. <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Mother}} Oh no! Invaders! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} Speak of the devil. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} C'mon, Sarisse! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} We'll take care of 'em! Take this! Haaah! <br /> {{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Who the hell are these guys?! Fall back! Fall baaack! <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Child}} Wow, Sarisse! You're super strong! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Well, I've been learning a lot fighting with Euden. <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Child}} You're the best, Luca. Thanks for saving us! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Heh. Just doing what's right. <br /> {{ST|Elder}} You really have grown since I last saw you. You took care of those soldiers as if they were children's playthings. If you were to stay here and protect us, we might even be able to rebuild. Would you perhaps consider this? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I wish I could. Really I do. But I made a promise to fight with Euden. <br /> {{ST|Elder}} Yes, I see. Pray forgive me for asking this of you. And you, Sarisse? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} ...Me? What about me? <br /> {{ST|Elder}} When you left our village, you said you did so in order to help us all. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} That's still how I feel. <br /> {{ST|Elder}} And would not staying in the village more readily allow you to do so? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Well, I suppose that's true, but... <br /> {{ST|Elder}} Please, Sarisse. We need you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I...I need some time to think about this. Can you wait until tomorrow? *sigh* What should I do...? I thought I knew what I wanted, but now... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You okay, Sarisse? I can lend you a big floppy ear if you want it. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aw, thanks, Bro... See, the more I think about it, the more I think the elder is right. If I want to help people, I should stay here and do that. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...But there's more to it than that, right? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I mean, I KNOW that makes sense, and yet... Deep down, I just want to keep fighting with Euden. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I think I get what you're saying. That's exactly how I felt when I decided to leave the village and join up with Euden's merry band. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Really? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yep. There's just something about him. The moment I met him, I felt like I could accomplish the thing I desired most. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Oh yeah? What's that? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} It's...I dunno. My dream, I guess. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yeah, but what IS your dream? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} No way I'm telling you that! It's too embarrassing. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aww, c'mon! I'm your sister! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I don't care who you are! These lips are zipped. All that matters here is that I understand where you're coming from, right? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yeah, but I don't really have a dream or...whatever. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} But you might find one if you stick with Euden long enough. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Hey, yeah! So THAT'S why I want to be with him! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Heh. Sounds like you've got your answer. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Thanks, Luca. I'm sorry, everyone. But I've thought about this a lot, and I'm going to keep fighting with Euden. <br /> {{ST|Elder}} No! You must reconsider! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I'm sorry. I can't. This is how I'm going to fight to bring peace to everyone. And it's also how I'm going to discover what I want to do with my life. <br /> {{ST|Elder}} But what about your people? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Please listen, Elder. Sarisse wants to find her dream, and you can bet whatever she comes up with is going to be way bigger and better than all of us here! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} Please, Elder. Let her go. <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Mother}} Supporting the dreams of children is the duty of parents—and of ALL adults. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Mom! Dad! <br /> {{ST|Elder}} But what will happen to us? What are we to do the next time the soldiers come back? <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Mother}} We'll have to learn to defend ourselves. We cannot keep placing that onerous task on the backs of our children. It's been a long time since I've had a good scrap; I'm looking forward to it! <br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Sarisse's Father}} Let's go easy now, honey... <br /> {{ST|Elder}} *sigh* I suppose you are right. Go forth and live your life, Sarisse. We will keep your people safe. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aw, thanks, everybody! I won't let you down! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode4Title=A Path to Follow<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Whew! That was one exhausting journey. Good thing I've got a bed in the castle with my name on it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I hear you. Let's hurry up and get back. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Hey, you guys smell that? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} It smells like something is burning. ...Ah! Look there! Smoke! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} There's a village over there, right? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yeah, that one we used to trade with back in the day. Please tell me it's not actually on fire! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We'd better go check it out. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Oh no! It's been destroyed! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Could it be the work of fire-breathing fiends, perhaps? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} This ain't fiends. Look here—these prints are from military-issue boots. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Look! There's someone on the ground! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Easy, now. Let me heal you. <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Villager}} You...saved my life... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Who did this? <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Villager}} The Empire—they swept through without mercy. What did we ever do to them?! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} They did the same to our own village some time back. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} And we're seeing similar things happening all over the continent now. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I'll never forgive them for this... I've got to take down the Empire! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I like yer spirit, but... Takin' on fiends and takin' on the entire Empire are two very different things. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} How? They're both just strong foes. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Think about it for just a minute. ...The answer's right in front of ya. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Elisanne! Luca! You two move the rubble! We're going to save the people trapped undeneath! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} On it! ...We're here to help! Answer if you can hear us! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You're gonna be okay! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Cleo, you heal the wounded. Try to prioritize the most heavily injured. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Understood. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} He's such a natural leader... Is this what you were talking about when you said there's a difference between fighting the Empire and fighting fiends? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yep. When ya fight a fiend, ya just gotta focus on what's in front of ya. But the Empire's bigger than any pack'a fiends. Even if ya beat the guy in front, yer gonna lose other battles somewhere down the line. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Then what should we do? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Think about the big picture. For example, ya gotta go back to places where ya lost and take care of who's left. If ya do that, maybe they turn into allies what can help out later on. The prince knows that better'n anyone. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Ranzal, can you give me a hand? We need to fashion some temporary huts for these people to live in. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} On it, boss! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} He's taking the time to build huts? I never would have thought of that... If it was up to me, we'd just be chasing down the soldiers who did this. This must be what Ranzal meant when he talked about &quot;the big picture.&quot; The prince wants to earn victory for everyone—with the HELP of everyone! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Sarisse! Over here! There might still be others who need our help; we have to save them all if we can. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I'll do my best! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You're going to be all right. Your mom is in that hut there. <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Child}} Mommy! <br /> {{ST|Sylvan Villager}} Oh, thank goodness you're all right! How can I possibly thank you for saving my child? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I know you two have been through a lot, but everything is going to be all right. Let's get back to looking, Sarisse. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Look at all the people you're saving, Euden! It's amazing! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm just a very small part of this. Without all of you at my side, none of it would be possible. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Bzzzzt! Wrong. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Huh? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} There's just something about you that makes others WANT to help you. I know, because I feel it myself. That's a special quality—there are very few people who have it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm honored that you think so. Thank you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Yep! You're one in a million for sure. I wonder if I'll ever be like you? Wait a second... Ah-ha! That's IT! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Er, what's it? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I just thought of something! Something great! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Oh? Glad to hear it. Now, let's help those people! Attention, villagers! We're here to help, and we won't leave until the last one of you is safe! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} (I think I've finally found the path I should be following... If I make the prince my role model... I should be able to find my own dream!) &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode5Title=Sarisse's Grand Dream<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You have a sec, Ranzal? There's something I've been meaning to ask you. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Shoot. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} We're just here to gather up people who've lost their homes in the war, right? So is there really a need for Euden to go out of his way to come along? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Heh. Yer answer's right over there. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Please follow us, everyone. You can stay at our castle for as long as you like. <br /> {{ST|Elderly Refugee}} I can't believe the prince himself has come to our aid! <br /> {{ST|Female Refugee}} What an honor! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} These folks've been through hell and back, but he knows just how to put 'em at ease. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Heh. That is SO like him. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} *pant* *pant* <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Are you well, Euden? Your breathing is terribly uneven. Oh no! Your face is bright red! Do you have a fever?! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Please just...don't fuss over me... If others see me like this... they might lose heart... <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Euden! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I have returned from my patrol and am ready to give my repor—YOUR HIGHNESS! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} He collapsed from a fever—most likely caused by overwork. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Cleo, you must heal him right away! ...Wait, no! I have to give my report! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Has something happened, Elisanne? It's not like you to lose your composure. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I fear there are imperial soldiers waiting on the road ahead. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} So? Those chumps are a dime a dozen. We'll take 'em out and keep moving. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} That would be all well and good if we were unaccompanied, but we must protect the civilians who travel with us. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} And we got wounded and elderly with us, so we can't be divergin' off into the woods. <br /> {{ST|Refugee Child}} Um, guys? What's wrong? Why is everyone so serious? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Uh oh. Now the kids are worried... That's the very thing the prince was trying to avoid by coming with us. Well then, it's time to do what HE would do at a time like this! Everything's going to be fine, folks! You're all in good hands! <br /> {{ST|Refugee Child}} You're gonna protect us? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} That's right. We've protected plenty of villages that were attacked by the Empire. So don't you worry about a thing. You'll be safe with us! <br /> {{ST|Refugee Child}} Yay! Thanks, lady! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Right then! How many imperial soldiers are we talking about, Elisanne? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Not that many, but they appear formidable. It's likely a small, elite unit. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Well, at least they can't surround us. Can we force our way through? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Ordinarily, perhaps. But to attempt that while traveling with civilians... <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} In that case, I'll act as a decoy. Once I lead the soldiers away, you take these people and go. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} By yourself? That sounds like a very reckless plan. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} But at least it's only dangerous for me and not everyone else. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm opposed, too. It's just too dangerous alone. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} B-but... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, let me finish. I'm opposed, but... If Euden were here, I think he'd say the same thing you did. He'd say that we can't put those people in danger. ...So that's why I'm coming with you. Two decoys mean half the chance of something going wrong. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aw, thanks, Luca! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} It's a crazy plan—but if anybody can pull it off, it's these two. The moment ya pull them soldiers away, we'll take the civilians and push through. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} This is going to work. I know it! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I swear it on my honor as a Paladyn to keep these villagers safe. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} ...Be safe, Sarisse. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} We'll see each other again soon. All right, let's do this. Yaaaaaaaaah! <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''With the courageous efforts of Sarisse and Luca, everyone made it safely to the castle. And the next day...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Thank you so much, Sarisse. I don't know what we would have done without you. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} You sure you should be up and around there, Euden? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm a little woozy, but I'll be all right. I heard what happened yesterday; what you did was amazing. They say you took command in my place? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Oh, I dunno if I &quot;took command&quot; so much as I tried to do what I thought you'd do. Besides, everyone else did all the heavy lifting, so it's not really a big deal. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Do you remember what you said to me when we were helping the village that was attacked by the Empire? You said people who make you want to help others are special. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Sure, I remember. Er, but why are you bringing it up now? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Don't you see? Everyone helped you, which means YOU have this special talent. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Now that you mention it, we did simply do as she bade us without hesitation. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} She's thoughtful of others, has a strong sense of right and wrong, and takes charge of the situation. It was like watching a little Euden in action. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Okay, stop it! But if you really think I can be like Euden one day... That means I've found my dream! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's great news. I'm sure everyone back home will be happy to hear it. So are you gonna fill us in on this dream of yours or what? I bet it's a real whopper! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I'm gonna become chief of a new village! <br /> {{ST|Everyone}} WHAAAAT?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's a bit unrealistic, don't you think? I mean you've gotta find somewhere everyone can live, THEN bring people with completely different opinions together? Sounds impossible to me! <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} But our village only existed because someone started it, right? There've been loads of chiefs ever since, but SOMEONE had to be the founder. So why can't I found my own? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, sure. But what made you come up with this crazy plan to begin with? <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} I want to be for sylvans what Euden is for all of us. Someone who fights alongside everyone for the good of all. And since the closest thing sylvans have to royalty is a chief, I'll just have to become one of those! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Heh, you make it sound like no big deal. Well, if you've made your mind up, it's not my job to change it—it's my job to stand back and cheer you on! But man, Sarisse. I figured you'd land on something big, but I didn't think it would be THIS big! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} If anyone can pull this off, it's her. No matter how tough the road ahead might be, her spirit will see her through. <br /> {{ST|Gala Sarisse}} Aw, thanks, guys! Just you wait. This dream WILL happen! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}<br /> [[Category:To-Do Adventurer Voice Lines]]</div>

You out here hunting fiends as well?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No, I live nearby.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wait, there's a sylvan village on this mountain?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Nope! I live on my own in a little hut. Like a hermit! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} With all these fiends around, it must be pretty dangerous. You should think about moving someplace safer.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Ohmigosh, you're worried about me?! Eeeee! You are SO kind!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I don't know where I'd go, though. I don't have any family...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Why don't you come stay in our castle, then?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} W-wait, are you saying we should live together? In a CASTLE?!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah! Everyone's welcome at the Halidom.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Plus, you're a heckuva shot with that bow. You'd be great to have around!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} This is all so sudden... I mean—*gasp*! Are you propo...propos—<br /> {{ST|Luca}} So, whaddya think? Wanna come to the castle with me?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oh, YES! I DO! I do I do I doooo!<br /> &lt;center&gt;''She seemed normal-ish at the time. But once we got back to the castle...''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Good work at training today, Luccy! I brought you a little pick-me-up.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Whoa, thanks! It looks delicious.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Tee hee! I poured aaaaall my love into it, just for you!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} The eggs were laid just this morning, the fish was caught at dawn, and the bread is still warm from the oven.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I even asked the butcher for his best cut of beef! And no, I totally did NOT spend too much time and/or money on this!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I want to give you everything I have, every minute, of every day, FOREVER. 'Cause you deserve it! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Now taste it.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er, okay...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Dust dust dust, all day long! Wipe wipe wipe, till it all shines!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Huh? Chelsea? What're you doing in my room?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Cleaning it up nice and tidy, so you can enjoy every second you spend in it!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Uh, thanks, but I usually do that myself. I'm pretty particular about where all my stuff goes.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oh, I know. I memorized all that DAYS ago.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} By the way, you were up far too late last night, mister!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er, how did you know that?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} While I was cleaning, I found hairs from you, the prince, and Ranzal.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} They weren't there when I came in to clean after dinner last night, so that MUST mean you three were up to some late-night shenanigans!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hold on—have you been cleaning my room every day?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Of course, Luccy! It's part of my daily routine.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ......<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Man, I'm wrecked. Time for a nice long soak, I think.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Might have the bath to myself, even... WAAAAH! Chelsea?! Why are you following me?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} It's bath time, right Luccy?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Want me to wash your back for you? Tee hee...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, come ON already!<br /> &lt;center&gt;''She just kept going, day after day after day. I guess she wanted to repay me for bringing her to the castle, but she's gone waaaay overboard. I'm lookin' over my shoulder constantly.''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...Hunh? I must've passed out.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} She said she'd wait till morning, but there's no way she actually...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Morning, Luccy!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...You've seriously been here all night?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} 'Course! I didn't even fall asleep once. Are you proud of me?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Look, Chelsea. I don't really know how to put this gently, but...could you maybe back off a little?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Huh?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I get that you're thankful, and you're definitely one of the most thoughtful people I know. But there's a limit, yeah?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oh, Luccy. You're such a jokester! I'm your WIFE—this is just what marriage looks like!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Uh.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} When did you become my WIFE?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} When you invited me to live with you, silly!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I was SO happy you just up and proposed like that.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Whoa, I did NOT propose to you!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Awww, you're embarrassed! You're such a cutie-pie.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelsea, listen to me!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Ah! I need to get your breakfast started. See you soon, my love! I'll miss youuuuu!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, wait! ...Damn.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I gotta clear this up pronto...<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Luca? What's with all the racket?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, hey Sarisse. What're you doin' up so early?<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} The folks back home wanted to deliver an engagement gift. I just got back with it.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh yeah? Who's tyin' the knot?<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Uh, you and your fiancée, Chelsea. You feeling okay?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} WHAT IS HAPPENING?!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode2Title=Undying Affection<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Open up and say aaah, Luccy!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Aaah.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Scrambled eggs, from my heart to your stomach! Yumtown, right?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, yeah. Totally &quot;yumtown.&quot;<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Hee! Okay, try the apple salad next. Heeeere comes the dragon! Nyoooom!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Can't a guy stuff his face in peace?<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} *ahem* Luca? Chelsea? We are all overcome with joy at your union, but perhaps you might pay some mind to your table manners.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Open up the cave, 'cause here comes the dragon!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} She's not even listening...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (*sigh* I'm in seriously deep here. Gotta do something, and fast...)<br /> &lt;center&gt;''You're probably wondering how I ended up in this mess, gettin' fed like a baby in front of all my pals. Well...''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Me and Chelsea? MARRIED?! Where the hell'd ya hear that?!<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} What, is it not true? Chelsea sent handmade cards to everyone in the village announcing your engagement.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Rrgh... No, it's NOT true! She's just doin' whatever the heck she wants!<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Yeah, I kinda figured. Who'd wanna marry you?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Look, can you please just go spread the word that this is all a big misunderstanding? I'll go talk to Chelsea.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Ba-da, ba-doo, mixin' in some love, it's my secret spice. Ba-doo, ba-dee, Luccy's gonna love it 'cause I cooked it twice!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, Chelsea.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy! Perfect timing. Breakfast is aaalmost ready.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh snap, that looks gr—wait, no!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Look, I gotta clear something up. When I asked you to come live at the Halidom, that was NOT a marriage proposal.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Awww, Luccy, you're so CUTE when you're joking.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'M NOT JOKING!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy...?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I might've given you the wrong idea, and I'm sorry about that. But I want to be very clear: I was NOT saying we should get married. At all.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...So you hate me.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What? No, I don't—<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You're my soul mate. We BELONG together. But I guess we can't be? Or we just won't be? I don't get it.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I feel weird. This world is weird. This is all so WEIRD.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Uh...Chelsea?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Maybe I'll just burn the whole thing down. Start all over. What's the point of a world where my Luccy hates me?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Burn it down. Burn it down, burn it DOWN, BURN IT DOWN BURN IT DOWN BURN IT DOWNBURNITDOWNBURNITDOWN...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...Yep. I'll burn it aaaaall down. Starting with this castle. Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} W-wait, Chelsea! I don't hate you!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} But you said you didn't propose, which means we're not getting married, which means you HATE me, which means I have to BURN—<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Nothing needs to burn. Let's forget about the burning, okay?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...Then can I keep feeding you?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I had a dream, you know. I was feeding you, just like Mama and Papa used to feed me...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *sigh* Sure. Fine. You can feed me.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Really?! Yaaaaaaay! Tee hee hee hee heeee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, ha ha. Yaaaaay...<br /> &lt;center&gt;''She was super unstable. There was no telling what she woulda done if I'd left her like that. So I just went along with her demands.''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Man, I'm exhausted...<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Hey, Luca. How're things with you'n Chelsea?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ranzal! So glad you asked. I need to unload, man! *blah blah blah*<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} That bad, huh? Want me to say something to her?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Sometimes all ya need is a third party to point somethin' out.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Would you really?! I'll take you out for... TEN dinners!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I woulda done it for free, but I'll take that deal! Bwaaa ha ha!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} So? How'd it go?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Er, well, I might actually owe YOU dinner at this point. She uh, didn't take it too well.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *sigh* I knew it...<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Only thing left is to take some time apart, I reckon. Here's what we're gonna do...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, we managed to slip outta the castle without her noticing. But what is this place?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} This is my secret hideout in the woods. Knocked it together a while back as an emergency base of sorts.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Chelsea won't find ya out here, and even if she does, she won't make it past the door. So all ya gotta do is lie low till her passion comes off the boil.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Gotcha. Hey, you wouldn't happen to have something to drink—<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Hot tea for my hottie!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, tha—CHELSEA?! Wha—whe—HOW are you here?!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} The hell happened to the door?! I triple-deadbolted it myself!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I always know where you are, Luccy. That's the power of love! Oh, and the power of love also lets me pick locks. Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Now, what are you doing all the way out here?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You weren't being NAUGHTY, were you?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Abort, abort!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I prepped this smokescreen in case something like this went down. Quick Luca, out the back door!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *pant* Did we lose her?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Looks that way. Let's hunker down at the village nearby.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} GWAH!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ranzal! Are you all right?!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} ...Zzz...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wait... This arrowhead is dull. Could it be a mana-laced sleeping arrow?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} LUUUUCCYYYYY!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Aw cripes! Gotta hide!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oh Luuuuuccyyyyy... I can smeeeeell youuuuuu...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Are you...here?!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Phew... I think I actually gave her the slip.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Found you!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} BWAH! B-but you went the other way!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Yeah, that was a fake out. Now, tell me why you keep running away, love of my life.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (There's no escaping her... Look's like I've got no choice.)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (If it goes badly, though, she'll torch the whole castle...)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} H-hey, can we talk some other time?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} What's wrong with right now?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ah, well, y'know, Ranzal's here, and I was really hoping we could talk...alone.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} *gasp* You mean a date?!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What? No, I'm not—<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} EEEEEEE! A DATE! Just me and my Luccy!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Where should we go? What should I wear? Should I get a haircut? Ooo, what about makeup? And...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er... Okay, I guess we'll call it a date for now.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (But can I even do it? Can I really clear up her misunderstanding?)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (Whatever. I have to settle this once and for all. I either get through to her, or die trying!)<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Hee. A date. Tee hee! With my LUCCY! TEE HEE HEE HEEEEEE!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode3Title=First Date<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Ohmigosh, the food at that cafe was to DIE for!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, it was pretty good.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (I need to find a way to clear things up while we're on this date.)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, about that thing you thought was a proposal...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Do you think that cafe will still be there when we have kids? Ooo, I wanna bring them there so bad!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} And then while we're eating, we can tell them how Mommy and Daddy had their FIRST DATE there! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (Urgh... She's making this so hard to bring up...)<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Hey Luccy, can we stop at the tailor next?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sure, no problem.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Huh? Weren't you gonna look at clothes?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Nope. I'm here for fabric to MAKE clothes.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, you like sewing?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Yep! Accessories, dolls, all kinds of things.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (I just realized I don't actually know that much about her.)<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I want to make some baby clothes. Which do you prefer: floral or plaid?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hmm. Personally, I'd go for something a little more exciting, like—wait, whose babies, exactly?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Tee hee! OURS, obviously!<br /> {{ST|Shopkeeper}} Oh, goodness me! Are you two expecting?<br /> {{ST|Shopkeeper}} Congratulations to you. Here, please take both, on the house!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Wow! Look, Luccy! Now I can make clothes for TWO little ones!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (I need to put my foot down, and fast!)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Listen up, Chelsea! We need to talk about our relationship, okay?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy, you silly boy. Don't make a scene.<br /> {{ST|Customers}} ......<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...Right. Sorry.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You know what? I should make new outfits for Mama and Papa, too. I'll take these fabrics as well, please!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Um, Luccy? I'm going to go pick some flowers.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *sigh* Failed again.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Tell you what though, she's unexpectedly devoted to her family. Makin' clothes for her parents and everything... Wait.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I don't know where I'd go, though. I don't have any family...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Who are Mama and Papa then...?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Nooooooo!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Was that Chelsea?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Let me go!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 1}} C'mon, gorgeous, don't be rude.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What the hell are you guys doing?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy, HEEELP!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 2}} What's it to ya? You her boyfriend or somethin'?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No, he's my HUSBAND!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I am NOT!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You're right. I meant FUTURE husband!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 1}} Jeez, shut up already. I dunno what's up with you two, but unless you wanna taste these hands, I'd get lost.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sorry, but we're actually in the middle of a date.<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 2}} Yeah? Well your face is about to be datin' these fists! Hraaagh!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Look out, Luccy! And you, let GO of me!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 3}} Quit yer strugglin', would ya?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Uwaaaaah! My arm!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelsea!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 1}} Watch your step, kid. If you're not careful, this pretty little bird's gonna have a broken wing. Capiche?<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 2}} Now take what's comin' to ya!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} LUCCY!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 3}} Look on the bright side, gorgeous. We just saved ya from marryin' a loser! Ha ha ha!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...How DARE you...<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 3}} What was that?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} YOU'RE IN FOR IT NOW! Let me GO!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 3}} Quit squirmin', dammit! You want both arms broken?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I have to save my Luccy...<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 3}} HURK! What the hell?!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 1}} You shook him off?! Wh—eyaaargh!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 2}} Where's this strength comin' from?! Uuuuurgh!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy! Are you okay?!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'll be fine. Man, you sure kicked the crap outta those goons.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Love can be dangerous when threatened. Hee!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 1}} Hey! You think you can just walk away?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Uh oh, Luccy, they're getting back up!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Guess we'll have to set 'em straight for good.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} We're gonna be great parents, huh? C'mon, Luccy!<br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Chelsea}} Haaaah!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm glad it all worked out, but still... Ow.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I got you some medicine, and bandages too. Gimme oooone second, and I'll have you all fixed up.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Thanks, Chelsea.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (She's an oddball, but she's got a good heart.)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (Which is exactly why I have to clear things up with her ASAP.)<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You know, you've saved me twice now.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Huh? When was the first time?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Back when we first met! I think about it every morning... And every night, too! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What? You saved ME when we first met. I was fightin' those fiends.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No, before that. You helped search for my Mama and Papa.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er, you lost me.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You really don't remember...?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} We met on a mountain, right? And you said you had no family...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...I see. I was sure our meeting was fate...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelsea?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} But for you, it was just... *sob*<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, wait up! ...Urk! My leg!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelseeea! ...Dammit. She's gone.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What was that all about? Did we meet before that...?<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode4Title=Her Only Ally<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Still no sign'a Chelsea, huh?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} No, and I've looked everywhere. Where could she have gone...?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Sounds like she was pretty shaken when she heard ya didn't remember how you two met.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Maybe there's some kinda clue in that?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Maaaybe...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} She mentioned me helping her look for her parents, but there's no way I'd forget something like that.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I had a look around Chelsea's room to see if there might be any clues.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} You find anythin'?<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Nothing that seemed like it might speak to her whereabouts. I did find these two dolls most curious, however.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} They look like sylvans... A man and a woman.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...Papa and Mama.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *gasp* Is that what she meant...?!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Mind fillin' us in there, pal?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Right. Back before I ever came to the Halidom, I was doing an errand for my village...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, you. Whatcha doin' out here?<br /> {{ST|Girl}} I... I'm looking for my dolls. They're of my Mama and Papa. I love them...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} It's gonna be hard in the dark. Let me help you.<br /> {{ST|Girl}} Huh? Really...?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} 'Course. You look around here, and I'll start searching over there.<br /> {{ST|Girl}} Th-thank you...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} THAT'S where we first met. And if I know Chelsea, that's probably where she's headed right now!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Sounds like ya better get movin'.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} (This is where we met, before fate brought us together again on that mountain.)<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} (I was so sure Luccy shared my feelings...)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *pant* Chelsea! *pant*<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} L-Luccy?! You're here! Does that mean you...?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yep, I remember. We found the dolls of your mom and dad right here.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sorry for letting it skip my mind all this time.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I'm just happy you remember. Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Still, I don't think it's fair to call our meeting &quot;fate.&quot; I just did what anyone woulda done.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No. What you said to me that day saved my life.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh? I don't really remember saying anything that profound...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} There's still so much you don't know...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy. Can I tell you a story about my past? About my family.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} When I was little, my parents and I left the woodland village we lived in and moved to a human town so they could work as apothecaries.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} &quot;We can better the world by spreading sylvan knowledge.&quot; They always used to say that.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I thought they were the coolest, chasing their dream so intently. I wanted to help however I could, so I worked in their store a lot.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} But the humans were not as supportive. They refused to accept us, and burned the shop to the ground. And my parents, they... They both...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...I getcha. I'm sorry.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I was taken in by some relatives in my old village, but since I'd already left once, I was branded a traitor to sylvan kind.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I was shunned, and people whispered behind my back. Eventually, I decided to leave again, this time for good.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} What point was there in staying? They couldn't understand my parents' dream, and they couldn't understand me, either.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelsea...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Living alone was hard.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} But then I met you, and my world suddenly became brighter.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} All thanks to what you said to me when you found Mama and Papa.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Whoa, so you modeled these dolls on your folks, huh? You guys must be really close.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Yes... I want to be just like them.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} They tried to use sylvan knowledge to better the world, but nobody understood their dream.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sounds like your folks and I would get along.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Huh?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I feel the same way about spreading sylvan knowledge—and my village was also pretty down on the idea.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I think everyone could benefit from sharing their discoveries with each other.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} That way, we all grow together. So I think what your parents were trying to do was really cool!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Hearing that brought me back from the brink.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I realized I wasn't alone. And that made me so, so happy.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} All right, I remember now. Still...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You're not going to take it back now, are you?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You're the only one who understands my feelings, Luccy.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} So our meeting MUST have been fate.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} If we don't get married, I...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelsea. Close your eyes for a second.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Huh? Why? Wait... A-are we gonna kiss?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} This is so sudden... But okay! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey. *flick*<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Huh?! You flicked me!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Did that snap you out of it?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} This has gone way too far already. You need to open your eyes and see what's really going on around you.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...What do you mean?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} You were hurt. Nobody around you understood you or your parents, so you felt alone. And I'm sure that was really hard.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} But the world is full of people who DO understand. You just stopped looking.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I might've been the first one you met, but the Halidom is full of people who will understand your feelings.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No... No way!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} The humans in town didn't accept us. The people in my village shunned me! NOBODY understands but YOU!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's just not true, Chelsea. But if you need me to prove that to you, then I will.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Come on, let's head back to the castle.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} W-we're holding hands?! EEEEEEEE!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode5Title=A Healing Heart<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:left&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;''I had to prove to Chelsea that I wasn't the only one who had her back, so I gathered up everyone in the Halidom.''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...Anyway, that's the plan. You guys up for helpin' out?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} We're with ya. And I'm sure we can find more people to join the cause.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} We'll send word to the sylvans in the woods. They're gonna come in DROVES!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} We shall ready the venue. It appears we will have quite a few guests.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Thanks, gang!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} What are you up to, Luccy?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Heh heh, it's a secret!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} But I promise you this: You're about to have a ton more friends.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy...<br /> &lt;center&gt;''A few days passed, and then I brought Chelsea to the courtyard.''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Wh-what's going on here?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Just a little mixer. Humans and sylvans alike, breakin' bread and hangin' out.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} We rounded up some humans who wanted to know more about sylvan customs, and some sylvans who were happy to teach.<br /> {{ST|Soldier}} So that's how y'all handle a bow, is it? Fascinatin'!<br /> {{ST|Weaver}} The dyework here is incredible... I've never seen such unique colors!<br /> {{ST|Dyer}} But you know, if you add mulberries to your dye, you can bring out even deeper shades.<br /> {{ST|Sylvan Artisan}} Is that so? Let's give it a try!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} They're all...getting along. And even LEARNING from each other! It's...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Just like what your mom and dad were striving for, yeah?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} All of us at the Halidom have realized something, traveling around so much.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} There are lots of humans that wanna know more about sylvan practices. Waaay more than you'd think!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} And on the flipside, there's a ton of sylvans that wanna learn from humans, too.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} You just happened to be surrounded by a pretty insular crowd, I guess.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} They all look so happy... Just like Mama and Papa did.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} THERE you two are!<br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} DOUBLE BODY SLAM!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oof!<br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Nya ha ha! That was a solid one!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Jeez, take it easy!<br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} C'mon, it's just a friendly hello! I bet the humans here would take to it pretty quick.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Hey Chelsea, we're all gonna play a game together. Wanna join us?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You want ME?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} 'Course they do! You're the guest of honor.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} And you've only really been talking to Luca, right?<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Everyone else wants to get to know you too! Plus, between you and me, you can do WAY better than my brother.<br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Everyone, gather round! We're gonna split into teams, and...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} *sniffle*<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What's wrong, Chelsea?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I... I don't know. My heart feels all warm and fluffy, but I'm crying...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Nobody's ever invited me to play before. What should I do, Luccy?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Well, I think step one is to smile. And step two is to get out there!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} We're all just gonna goof off and get to know each other better. That's how you make friends, you know?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...Okay. Count me in!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Thank you all for coming, everyone. Now, if you could all assist in the clean-up...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sorry Cleo, but I've gotta bounce. I owe Chelsea some one-on-one time.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Of course. Good luck, Luca.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Thanks for today, Luccy. I made a lot of new friends.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Heck yeah you did! Wasn't it easy?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} It was. I guess I've kind of just been in my own world ever since my parents died.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Nobody here had any problem with me; I just convinced myself otherwise.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} It sounds like you finally understand.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} And now that that's cleared up, we actually need to have another important discussion. You mind?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Sure. What is it?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I've thought a lot about how I wanna deepen and broaden the exchange between human and sylvan cultures.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} But to actually make it happen, we need this world to find peace first.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Okay...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm really honored that you care about me so much. But right now, I...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Right now I can't think of anything but fighting alongside the prince and everyone. We're fighting to save our whole world.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ......<br /> {{ST|Luca}} So I need you to understand that what I said to you on the mountain wasn't a proposal. I'm really sorry I gave you the wrong idea.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No, I should be the one apologizing. You tried to explain it multiple times, and I just didn't want to hear it.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I... I'm going to go help clean up. Bye!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Seemed like that went all right. Glad ya finally got through to her.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} She's lived a very unfortunate life. But I think it'll be different after today.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} For your sake, I hope so. Bwa ha ha!<br /> &lt;center&gt;''I thought that was the end of it, but...''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *yawn* Morning already?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Morning, Luccy!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Mornin' Chel—WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' IN MY ROOM?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I came to wake you up, silly! But you looked so cute all snuggled up, I ended up just staring for a while. Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Aw, man... Wait, I KNOW I locked the door last night!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I gave her a key. It's not good for a lock to be picked so frequently.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} But if you're gonna wake him up, ya gotta actually do it, Chelsea!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wh—Cleo? Sarisse?! What is going ON?!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I've tasked Chelsea with looking after you for a while.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} She'll keep you out of trouble. Riiight?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Yup! I'm gonna take the BEST care of you, Luccy. I'll prove to you that I'm prime wife material!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er, did we not JUST clear up the whole marriage thing?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oh, we did. But that doesn't mean I'm giving up on you. If anything, I like you even MORE now! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Besides, once you save the world and junk you'll be free to get married, right? That's where I come in.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *sigh* Two steps forward, one step back...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Remember that cloth I got on our date? I made some outfits for our future kids; one for a girl, and one for a boy.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Do you have any ideas for names? I'd love to name the boy Luccy, after my favorite person in the whole world!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I have girl names picked out too, of course, but we should probably lock in our wedding details before all that. Where do you want to have the ceremony?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hold on a secon—<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} We'll live happily ever after, one big happy family! Tee hee heeee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, come ooooooon!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}<br /> [[Category:To-Do Adventurer Voice Lines]]</div>

I'm pretty sure I locked the door.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Hah! As if some dumb lock could get between us.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...Sure. Well, I'm pretty beat, so if you don't mind, could you like...leave, please?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} B-b-but, Luccy...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} How are we ever gonna get closer if you keep pushing me away?!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Look, I wanna get some sleep, okay?! We can hang out later.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...Fine.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I'll just stand guard here then. You get your beauty sleep, and I'll be here aaaall night to make sure nobody disturbs you.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *sigh* This is gettin' outta hand.<br /> &lt;center&gt;''We've only known each other two weeks, for cryin' out loud. There I was, goin' toe to toe with some real tough fiends, when she showed up outta the blue to save my butt.''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Chelsea}} Haaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Phew! That got kinda dicey for a second. Thanks for the assist...Chelsea, was it?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Yup! And it was my pleasure.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Us meeting like this must be fate, huh? Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Uh, sure. You out here hunting fiends as well?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No, I live nearby.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wait, there's a sylvan village on this mountain?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Nope! I live on my own in a little hut. Like a hermit! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} With all these fiends around, it must be pretty dangerous. You should think about moving someplace safer.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Ohmigosh, you're worried about me?! Eeeee! You are SO kind!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I don't know where I'd go, though. I don't have any family...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Why don't you come stay in our castle, then?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} W-wait, are you saying we should live together? In a CASTLE?!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah! Everyone's welcome at the Halidom.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Plus, you're a heckuva shot with that bow. You'd be great to have around!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} This is all so sudden... I mean—*gasp*! Are you propo...propos—<br /> {{ST|Luca}} So, whaddya think? Wanna come to the castle with me?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oh, YES! I DO! I do I do I doooo!<br /> &lt;center&gt;''She seemed normal-ish at the time. But once we got back to the castle...''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Good work at training today, Luccy! I brought you a little pick-me-up.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Whoa, thanks! It looks delicious.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Tee hee! I poured aaaaall my love into it, just for you!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} The eggs were laid just this morning, the fish was caught at dawn, and the bread is still warm from the oven.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I even asked the butcher for his best cut of beef! And no, I totally did NOT spend too much time and/or money on this!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I want to give you everything I have, every minute, of every day, FOREVER. 'Cause you deserve it! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Now taste it.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er, okay...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Dust dust dust, all day long! Wipe wipe wipe, till it all shines!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Huh? Chelsea? What're you doing in my room?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Cleaning it up nice and tidy, so you can enjoy every second you spend in it!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Uh, thanks, but I usually do that myself. I'm pretty particular about where all my stuff goes.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oh, I know. I memorized all that DAYS ago.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} By the way, you were up far too late last night, mister!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er, how did you know that?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} While I was cleaning, I found hairs from you, the prince, and Ranzal.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} They weren't there when I came in to clean after dinner last night, so that MUST mean you three were up to some late-night shenanigans!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hold on—have you been cleaning my room every day?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Of course, Luccy! It's part of my daily routine.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ......<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Man, I'm wrecked. Time for a nice long soak, I think.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Might have the bath to myself, even... WAAAAH! Chelsea?! Why are you following me?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} It's bath time, right Luccy?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Want me to wash your back for you? Tee hee...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, come ON already!<br /> &lt;center&gt;''She just kept going, day after day after day. I guess she wanted to repay me for bringing her to the castle, but she's gone waaaay overboard. I'm lookin' over my shoulder constantly.''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...Hunh? I must've passed out.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} She said she'd wait till morning, but there's no way she actually...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Morning, Luccy!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...You've seriously been here all night?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} 'Course! I didn't even fall asleep once. Are you proud of me?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Look, Chelsea. I don't really know how to put this gently, but...could you maybe back off a little?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Huh?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I get that you're thankful, and you're definitely one of the most thoughtful people I know. But there's a limit, yeah?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oh, Luccy. You're such a jokester! I'm your WIFE—this is just what marriage looks like!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Uh.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} When did you become my WIFE?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} When you invited me to live with you, silly!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I was SO happy you just up and proposed like that.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Whoa, I did NOT propose to you!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Awww, you're embarrassed! You're such a cutie-pie.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelsea, listen to me!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Ah! I need to get your breakfast started. See you soon, my love! I'll miss youuuuu!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, wait! ...Damn.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I gotta clear this up pronto...<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Luca? What's with all the racket?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, hey Sarisse. What're you doin' up so early?<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} The folks back home wanted to deliver an engagement gift. I just got back with it.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh yeah? Who's tyin' the knot?<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Uh, you and your fiancée, Chelsea. You feeling okay?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} WHAT IS HAPPENING?!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode2Title=Undying Affection<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Open up and say aaah, Luccy!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Aaah.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Scrambled eggs, from my heart to your stomach! Yumtown, right?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, yeah. Totally &quot;yumtown.&quot;<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Hee! Okay, try the apple salad next. Heeeere comes the dragon! Nyoooom!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Can't a guy stuff his face in peace?<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} *ahem* Luca? Chelsea? We are all overcome with joy at your union, but perhaps you might pay some mind to your table manners.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Open up the cave, 'cause here comes the dragon!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} She's not even listening...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (*sigh* I'm in seriously deep here. Gotta do something, and fast...)<br /> &lt;center&gt;''You're probably wondering how I ended up in this mess, gettin' fed like a baby in front of all my pals. Well...''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Me and Chelsea? MARRIED?! Where the hell'd ya hear that?!<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} What, is it not true? Chelsea sent handmade cards to everyone in the village announcing your engagement.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Rrgh... No, it's NOT true! She's just doin' whatever the heck she wants!<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Yeah, I kinda figured. Who'd wanna marry you?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Look, can you please just go spread the word that this is all a big misunderstanding? I'll go talk to Chelsea.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Ba-da, ba-doo, mixin' in some love, it's my secret spice. Ba-doo, ba-dee, Luccy's gonna love it 'cause I cooked it twice!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, Chelsea.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy! Perfect timing. Breakfast is aaalmost ready.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh snap, that looks gr—wait, no!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Look, I gotta clear something up. When I asked you to come live at the Halidom, that was NOT a marriage proposal.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Awww, Luccy, you're so CUTE when you're joking.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'M NOT JOKING!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy...?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I might've given you the wrong idea, and I'm sorry about that. But I want to be very clear: I was NOT saying we should get married. At all.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...So you hate me.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What? No, I don't—<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You're my soul mate. We BELONG together. But I guess we can't be? Or we just won't be? I don't get it.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I feel weird. This world is weird. This is all so WEIRD.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Uh...Chelsea?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Maybe I'll just burn the whole thing down. Start all over. What's the point of a world where my Luccy hates me?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Burn it down. Burn it down, burn it DOWN, BURN IT DOWN BURN IT DOWN BURN IT DOWNBURNITDOWNBURNITDOWN...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...Yep. I'll burn it aaaaall down. Starting with this castle. Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} W-wait, Chelsea! I don't hate you!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} But you said you didn't propose, which means we're not getting married, which means you HATE me, which means I have to BURN—<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Nothing needs to burn. Let's forget about the burning, okay?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...Then can I keep feeding you?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I had a dream, you know. I was feeding you, just like Mama and Papa used to feed me...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *sigh* Sure. Fine. You can feed me.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Really?! Yaaaaaaay! Tee hee hee hee heeee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, ha ha. Yaaaaay...<br /> &lt;center&gt;''She was super unstable. There was no telling what she woulda done if I'd left her like that. So I just went along with her demands.''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Man, I'm exhausted...<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Hey, Luca. How're things with you'n Chelsea?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ranzal! So glad you asked. I need to unload, man! *blah blah blah*<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} That bad, huh? Want me to say something to her?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Sometimes all ya need is a third party to point somethin' out.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Would you really?! I'll take you out for... TEN dinners!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I woulda done it for free, but I'll take that deal! Bwaaa ha ha!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} So? How'd it go?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Er, well, I might actually owe YOU dinner at this point. She uh, didn't take it too well.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *sigh* I knew it...<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Only thing left is to take some time apart, I reckon. Here's what we're gonna do...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, we managed to slip outta the castle without her noticing. But what is this place?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} This is my secret hideout in the woods. Knocked it together a while back as an emergency base of sorts.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Chelsea won't find ya out here, and even if she does, she won't make it past the door. So all ya gotta do is lie low till her passion comes off the boil.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Gotcha. Hey, you wouldn't happen to have something to drink—<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Hot tea for my hottie!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, tha—CHELSEA?! Wha—whe—HOW are you here?!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} The hell happened to the door?! I triple-deadbolted it myself!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I always know where you are, Luccy. That's the power of love! Oh, and the power of love also lets me pick locks. Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Now, what are you doing all the way out here?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You weren't being NAUGHTY, were you?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Abort, abort!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I prepped this smokescreen in case something like this went down. Quick Luca, out the back door!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *pant* Did we lose her?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Looks that way. Let's hunker down at the village nearby.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} GWAH!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ranzal! Are you all right?!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} ...Zzz...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wait... This arrowhead is dull. Could it be a mana-laced sleeping arrow?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} LUUUUCCYYYYY!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Aw cripes! Gotta hide!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oh Luuuuuccyyyyy... I can smeeeeell youuuuuu...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Are you...here?!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Phew... I think I actually gave her the slip.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Found you!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} BWAH! B-but you went the other way!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Yeah, that was a fake out. Now, tell me why you keep running away, love of my life.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (There's no escaping her... Look's like I've got no choice.)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (If it goes badly, though, she'll torch the whole castle...)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} H-hey, can we talk some other time?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} What's wrong with right now?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ah, well, y'know, Ranzal's here, and I was really hoping we could talk...alone.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} *gasp* You mean a date?!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What? No, I'm not—<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} EEEEEEE! A DATE! Just me and my Luccy!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Where should we go? What should I wear? Should I get a haircut? Ooo, what about makeup? And...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er... Okay, I guess we'll call it a date for now.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (But can I even do it? Can I really clear up her misunderstanding?)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (Whatever. I have to settle this once and for all. I either get through to her, or die trying!)<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Hee. A date. Tee hee! With my LUCCY! TEE HEE HEE HEEEEEE!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode3Title=First Date<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Ohmigosh, the food at that cafe was to DIE for!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, it was pretty good.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (I need to find a way to clear things up while we're on this date.)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, about that thing you thought was a proposal...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Do you think that cafe will still be there when we have kids? Ooo, I wanna bring them there so bad!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} And then while we're eating, we can tell them how Mommy and Daddy had their FIRST DATE there! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (Urgh... She's making this so hard to bring up...)<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Hey Luccy, can we stop at the tailor next?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sure, no problem.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Huh? Weren't you gonna look at clothes?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Nope. I'm here for fabric to MAKE clothes.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, you like sewing?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Yep! Accessories, dolls, all kinds of things.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (I just realized I don't actually know that much about her.)<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I want to make some baby clothes. Which do you prefer: floral or plaid?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hmm. Personally, I'd go for something a little more exciting, like—wait, whose babies, exactly?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Tee hee! OURS, obviously!<br /> {{ST|Shopkeeper}} Oh, goodness me! Are you two expecting?<br /> {{ST|Shopkeeper}} Congratulations to you. Here, please take both, on the house!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Wow! Look, Luccy! Now I can make clothes for TWO little ones!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (I need to put my foot down, and fast!)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Listen up, Chelsea! We need to talk about our relationship, okay?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy, you silly boy. Don't make a scene.<br /> {{ST|Customers}} ......<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...Right. Sorry.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You know what? I should make new outfits for Mama and Papa, too. I'll take these fabrics as well, please!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Um, Luccy? I'm going to go pick some flowers.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *sigh* Failed again.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Tell you what though, she's unexpectedly devoted to her family. Makin' clothes for her parents and everything... Wait.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I don't know where I'd go, though. I don't have any family...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Who are Mama and Papa then...?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Nooooooo!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Was that Chelsea?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Let me go!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 1}} C'mon, gorgeous, don't be rude.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What the hell are you guys doing?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy, HEEELP!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 2}} What's it to ya? You her boyfriend or somethin'?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No, he's my HUSBAND!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I am NOT!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You're right. I meant FUTURE husband!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 1}} Jeez, shut up already. I dunno what's up with you two, but unless you wanna taste these hands, I'd get lost.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sorry, but we're actually in the middle of a date.<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 2}} Yeah? Well your face is about to be datin' these fists! Hraaagh!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Look out, Luccy! And you, let GO of me!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 3}} Quit yer strugglin', would ya?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Uwaaaaah! My arm!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelsea!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 1}} Watch your step, kid. If you're not careful, this pretty little bird's gonna have a broken wing. Capiche?<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 2}} Now take what's comin' to ya!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} LUCCY!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 3}} Look on the bright side, gorgeous. We just saved ya from marryin' a loser! Ha ha ha!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...How DARE you...<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 3}} What was that?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} YOU'RE IN FOR IT NOW! Let me GO!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 3}} Quit squirmin', dammit! You want both arms broken?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I have to save my Luccy...<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 3}} HURK! What the hell?!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 1}} You shook him off?! Wh—eyaaargh!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 2}} Where's this strength comin' from?! Uuuuurgh!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy! Are you okay?!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'll be fine. Man, you sure kicked the crap outta those goons.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Love can be dangerous when threatened. Hee!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 1}} Hey! You think you can just walk away?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Uh oh, Luccy, they're getting back up!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Guess we'll have to set 'em straight for good.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} We're gonna be great parents, huh? C'mon, Luccy!<br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Chelsea}} Haaaah!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm glad it all worked out, but still... Ow.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I got you some medicine, and bandages too. Gimme oooone second, and I'll have you all fixed up.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Thanks, Chelsea.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (She's an oddball, but she's got a good heart.)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (Which is exactly why I have to clear things up with her ASAP.)<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You know, you've saved me twice now.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Huh? When was the first time?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Back when we first met! I think about it every morning... And every night, too! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What? You saved ME when we first met. I was fightin' those fiends.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No, before that. You helped search for my Mama and Papa.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er, you lost me.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You really don't remember...?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} We met on a mountain, right? And you said you had no family...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...I see. I was sure our meeting was fate...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelsea?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} But for you, it was just... *sob*<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, wait up! ...Urk! My leg!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelseeea! ...Dammit. She's gone.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What was that all about? Did we meet before that...?<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode4Title=Her Only Ally<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Still no sign'a Chelsea, huh?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} No, and I've looked everywhere. Where could she have gone...?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Sounds like she was pretty shaken when she heard ya didn't remember how you two met.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Maybe there's some kinda clue in that?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Maaaybe...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} She mentioned me helping her look for her parents, but there's no way I'd forget something like that.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I had a look around Chelsea's room to see if there might be any clues.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} You find anythin'?<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Nothing that seemed like it might speak to her whereabouts. I did find these two dolls most curious, however.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} They look like sylvans... A man and a woman.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...Papa and Mama.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *gasp* Is that what she meant...?!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Mind fillin' us in there, pal?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Right. Back before I ever came to the Halidom, I was doing an errand for my village...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, you. Whatcha doin' out here?<br /> {{ST|Girl}} I... I'm looking for my dolls. They're of my Mama and Papa. I love them...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} It's gonna be hard in the dark. Let me help you.<br /> {{ST|Girl}} Huh? Really...?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} 'Course. You look around here, and I'll start searching over there.<br /> {{ST|Girl}} Th-thank you...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} THAT'S where we first met. And if I know Chelsea, that's probably where she's headed right now!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Sounds like ya better get movin'.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} (This is where we met, before fate brought us together again on that mountain.)<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} (I was so sure Luccy shared my feelings...)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *pant* Chelsea! *pant*<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} L-Luccy?! You're here! Does that mean you...?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yep, I remember. We found the dolls of your mom and dad right here.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sorry for letting it skip my mind all this time.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I'm just happy you remember. Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Still, I don't think it's fair to call our meeting &quot;fate.&quot; I just did what anyone woulda done.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No. What you said to me that day saved my life.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh? I don't really remember saying anything that profound...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} There's still so much you don't know...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy. Can I tell you a story about my past? About my family.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} When I was little, my parents and I left the woodland village we lived in and moved to a human town so they could work as apothecaries.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} &quot;We can better the world by spreading sylvan knowledge.&quot; They always used to say that.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I thought they were the coolest, chasing their dream so intently. I wanted to help however I could, so I worked in their store a lot.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} But the humans were not as supportive. They refused to accept us, and burned the shop to the ground. And my parents, they... They both...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...I getcha. I'm sorry.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I was taken in by some relatives in my old village, but since I'd already left once, I was branded a traitor to sylvan kind.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I was shunned, and people whispered behind my back. Eventually, I decided to leave again, this time for good.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} What point was there in staying? They couldn't understand my parents' dream, and they couldn't understand me, either.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelsea...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Living alone was hard.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} But then I met you, and my world suddenly became brighter.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} All thanks to what you said to me when you found Mama and Papa.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Whoa, so you modeled these dolls on your folks, huh? You guys must be really close.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Yes... I want to be just like them.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} They tried to use sylvan knowledge to better the world, but nobody understood their dream.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sounds like your folks and I would get along.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Huh?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I feel the same way about spreading sylvan knowledge—and my village was also pretty down on the idea.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I think everyone could benefit from sharing their discoveries with each other.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} That way, we all grow together. So I think what your parents were trying to do was really cool!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Hearing that brought me back from the brink.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I realized I wasn't alone. And that made me so, so happy.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} All right, I remember now. Still...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You're not going to take it back now, are you?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You're the only one who understands my feelings, Luccy.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} So our meeting MUST have been fate.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} If we don't get married, I...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelsea. Close your eyes for a second.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Huh? Why? Wait... A-are we gonna kiss?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} This is so sudden... But okay! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey. *flick*<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Huh?! You flicked me!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Did that snap you out of it?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} This has gone way too far already. You need to open your eyes and see what's really going on around you.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...What do you mean?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} You were hurt. Nobody around you understood you or your parents, so you felt alone. And I'm sure that was really hard.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} But the world is full of people who DO understand. You just stopped looking.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I might've been the first one you met, but the Halidom is full of people who will understand your feelings.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No... No way!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} The humans in town didn't accept us. The people in my village shunned me! NOBODY understands but YOU!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's just not true, Chelsea. But if you need me to prove that to you, then I will.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Come on, let's head back to the castle.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} W-we're holding hands?! EEEEEEEE!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode5Title=A Healing Heart<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:left&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;''I had to prove to Chelsea that I wasn't the only one who had her back, so I gathered up everyone in the Halidom.''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...Anyway, that's the plan. You guys up for helpin' out?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} We're with ya. And I'm sure we can find more people to join the cause.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} We'll send word to the sylvans in the woods. They're gonna come in DROVES!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} We shall ready the venue. It appears we will have quite a few guests.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Thanks, gang!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} What are you up to, Luccy?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Heh heh, it's a secret!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} But I promise you this: You're about to have a ton more friends.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy...<br /> &lt;center&gt;''A few days passed, and then I brought Chelsea to the courtyard.''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Wh-what's going on here?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Just a little mixer. Humans and sylvans alike, breakin' bread and hangin' out.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} We rounded up some humans who wanted to know more about sylvan customs, and some sylvans who were happy to teach.<br /> {{ST|Soldier}} So that's how y'all handle a bow, is it? Fascinatin'!<br /> {{ST|Weaver}} The dyework here is incredible... I've never seen such unique colors!<br /> {{ST|Dyer}} But you know, if you add mulberries to your dye, you can bring out even deeper shades.<br /> {{ST|Sylvan Artisan}} Is that so? Let's give it a try!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} They're all...getting along. And even LEARNING from each other! It's...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Just like what your mom and dad were striving for, yeah?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} All of us at the Halidom have realized something, traveling around so much.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} There are lots of humans that wanna know more about sylvan practices. Waaay more than you'd think!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} And on the flipside, there's a ton of sylvans that wanna learn from humans, too.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} You just happened to be surrounded by a pretty insular crowd, I guess.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} They all look so happy... Just like Mama and Papa did.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} THERE you two are!<br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} DOUBLE BODY SLAM!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oof!<br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Nya ha ha! That was a solid one!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Jeez, take it easy!<br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} C'mon, it's just a friendly hello! I bet the humans here would take to it pretty quick.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Hey Chelsea, we're all gonna play a game together. Wanna join us?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You want ME?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} 'Course they do! You're the guest of honor.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} And you've only really been talking to Luca, right?<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Everyone else wants to get to know you too! Plus, between you and me, you can do WAY better than my brother.<br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Everyone, gather round! We're gonna split into teams, and...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} *sniffle*<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What's wrong, Chelsea?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I... I don't know. My heart feels all warm and fluffy, but I'm crying...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Nobody's ever invited me to play before. What should I do, Luccy?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Well, I think step one is to smile. And step two is to get out there!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} We're all just gonna goof off and get to know each other better. That's how you make friends, you know?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...Okay. Count me in!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Thank you all for coming, everyone. Now, if you could all assist in the clean-up...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sorry Cleo, but I've gotta bounce. I owe Chelsea some one-on-one time.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Of course. Good luck, Luca.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Thanks for today, Luccy. I made a lot of new friends.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Heck yeah you did! Wasn't it easy?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} It was. I guess I've kind of just been in my own world ever since my parents died.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Nobody here had any problem with me; I just convinced myself otherwise.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} It sounds like you finally understand.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} And now that that's cleared up, we actually need to have another important discussion. You mind?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Sure. What is it?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I've thought a lot about how I wanna deepen and broaden the exchange between human and sylvan cultures.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} But to actually make it happen, we need this world to find peace first.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Okay...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm really honored that you care about me so much. But right now, I...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Right now I can't think of anything but fighting alongside the prince and everyone. We're fighting to save our whole world.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ......<br /> {{ST|Luca}} So I need you to understand that what I said to you on the mountain wasn't a proposal. I'm really sorry I gave you the wrong idea.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No, I should be the one apologizing. You tried to explain it multiple times, and I just didn't want to hear it.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I... I'm going to go help clean up. Bye!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Seemed like that went all right. Glad ya finally got through to her.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} She's lived a very unfortunate life. But I think it'll be different after today.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} For your sake, I hope so. Bwa ha ha!<br /> &lt;center&gt;''I thought that was the end of it, but...''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *yawn* Morning already?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Morning, Luccy!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Mornin' Chel—WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' IN MY ROOM?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I came to wake you up, silly! But you looked so cute all snuggled up, I ended up just staring for a while. Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Aw, man... Wait, I KNOW I locked the door last night!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I gave her a key. It's not good for a lock to be picked so frequently.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} But if you're gonna wake him up, ya gotta actually do it, Chelsea!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wh—Cleo? Sarisse?! What is going ON?!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I've tasked Chelsea with looking after you for a while.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} She'll keep you out of trouble. Riiight?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Yup! I'm gonna take the BEST care of you, Luccy. I'll prove to you that I'm prime wife material!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er, did we not JUST clear up the whole marriage thing?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oh, we did. But that doesn't mean I'm giving up on you. If anything, I like you even MORE now! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Besides, once you save the world and junk you'll be free to get married, right? That's where I come in.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *sigh* Two steps forward, one step back...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Remember that cloth I got on our date? I made some outfits for our future kids; one for a girl, and one for a boy.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Do you have any ideas for names? I'd love to name the boy Luccy, after my favorite person in the whole world!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I have girl names picked out too, of course, but we should probably lock in our wedding details before all that. Where do you want to have the ceremony?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hold on a secon—<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} We'll live happily ever after, one big happy family! Tee hee heeee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, come ooooooon!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}<br /> [[Category:To-Do Adventurer Voice Lines]]</div>

I'm pretty sure I locked the door.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Hah! As if some dumb lock could get between us.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...Sure. Well, I'm pretty beat, so if you don't mind, could you like...leave, please?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} B-b-but, Luccy...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} How are we ever gonna get closer if you keep pushing me away?!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Look, I wanna get some sleep, okay?! We can hang out later.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...Fine.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I'll just stand guard here then. You get your beauty sleep, and I'll be here aaaall night to make sure nobody disturbs you.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *sigh* This is gettin' outta hand.<br /> &lt;center&gt;''We've only known each other two weeks, for cryin' out loud. There I was, goin' toe to toe with some real tough fiends, when she showed up outta the blue to save my butt.''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Chelsea}} Haaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Phew! That got kinda dicey for a second. Thanks for the assist...Chelsea, was it?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Yup! And it was my pleasure.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Us meeting like this must be fate, huh? Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Uh, sure. You out here hunting fiends as well?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No, I live nearby.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wait, there's a sylvan village on this mountain?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Nope! I live on my own in a little hut. Like a hermit! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} With all these fiends around, it must be pretty dangerous. You should think about moving someplace safer.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Ohmigosh, you're worried about me?! Eeeee! You are SO kind!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I don't know where I'd go, though. I don't have any family...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Why don't you come stay in our castle, then?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} W-wait, are you saying we should live together? In a CASTLE?!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah! Everyone's welcome at the Halidom.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Plus, you're a heckuva shot with that bow. You'd be great to have around!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} This is all so sudden... I mean—*gasp*! Are you propo...propos—<br /> {{ST|Luca}} So, whaddya think? Wanna come to the castle with me?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oh, YES! I DO! I do I do I doooo!<br /> &lt;center&gt;''She seemed normal-ish at the time. But once we got back to the castle...''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Good work at training today, Luccy! I brought you a little pick-me-up.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Whoa, thanks! It looks delicious.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Tee hee! I poured aaaaall my love into it, just for you!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} The eggs were laid just this morning, the fish was caught at dawn, and the bread is still warm from the oven.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I even asked the butcher for his best cut of beef! And no, I totally did NOT spend too much time and/or money on this!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I want to give you everything I have, every minute, of every day, FOREVER. 'Cause you deserve it! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Now taste it.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er, okay...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Dust dust dust, all day long! Wipe wipe wipe, till it all shines!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Huh? Chelsea? What're you doing in my room?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Cleaning it up nice and tidy, so you can enjoy every second you spend in it!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Uh, thanks, but I usually do that myself. I'm pretty particular about where all my stuff goes.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oh, I know. I memorized all that DAYS ago.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} By the way, you were up far too late last night, mister!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er, how did you know that?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} While I was cleaning, I found hairs from you, the prince, and Ranzal.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} They weren't there when I came in to clean after dinner last night, so that MUST mean you three were up to some late-night shenanigans!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hold on—have you been cleaning my room every day?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Of course, Luccy! It's part of my daily routine.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ......<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Man, I'm wrecked. Time for a nice long soak, I think.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Might have the bath to myself, even... WAAAAH! Chelsea?! Why are you following me?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} It's bath time, right Luccy?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Want me to wash your back for you? Tee hee...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, come ON already!<br /> &lt;center&gt;''She just kept going, day after day after day. I guess she wanted to repay me for bringing her to the castle, but she's gone waaaay overboard. I'm lookin' over my shoulder constantly.''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...Hunh? I must've passed out.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} She said she'd wait till morning, but there's no way she actually...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Morning, Luccy!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...You've seriously been here all night?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} 'Course! I didn't even fall asleep once. Are you proud of me?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Look, Chelsea. I don't really know how to put this gently, but...could you maybe back off a little?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Huh?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I get that you're thankful, and you're definitely one of the most thoughtful people I know. But there's a limit, yeah?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oh, Luccy. You're such a jokester! I'm your WIFE—this is just what marriage looks like!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Uh.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} When did you become my WIFE?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} When you invited me to live with you, silly!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I was SO happy you just up and proposed like that.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Whoa, I did NOT propose to you!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Awww, you're embarrassed! You're such a cutie-pie.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelsea, listen to me!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Ah! I need to get your breakfast started. See you soon, my love! I'll miss youuuuu!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, wait! ...Damn.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I gotta clear this up pronto...<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Luca? What's with all the racket?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, hey Sarisse. What're you doin' up so early?<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} The folks back home wanted to deliver an engagement gift. I just got back with it.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh yeah? Who's tyin' the knot?<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Uh, you and your fiancée, Chelsea. You feeling okay?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} WHAT IS HAPPENING?!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode2Title=Undying Affection<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Open up and say aaah, Luccy!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Aaah.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Scrambled eggs, from my heart to your stomach! Yumtown, right?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, yeah. Totally &quot;yumtown.&quot;<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Hee! Okay, try the apple salad next. Heeeere comes the dragon! Nyoooom!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Can't a guy stuff his face in peace?<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} *ahem* Luca? Chelsea? We are all overcome with joy at your union, but perhaps you might pay some mind to your table manners.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Open up the cave, 'cause here comes the dragon!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} She's not even listening...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (*sigh* I'm in seriously deep here. Gotta do something, and fast...)<br /> &lt;center&gt;''You're probably wondering how I ended up in this mess, gettin' fed like a baby in front of all my pals. Well...''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Me and Chelsea? MARRIED?! Where the hell'd ya hear that?!<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} What, is it not true? Chelsea sent handmade cards to everyone in the village announcing your engagement.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Rrgh... No, it's NOT true! She's just doin' whatever the heck she wants!<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Yeah, I kinda figured. Who'd wanna marry you?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Look, can you please just go spread the word that this is all a big misunderstanding? I'll go talk to Chelsea.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Ba-da, ba-doo, mixin' in some love, it's my secret spice. Ba-doo, ba-dee, Luccy's gonna love it 'cause I cooked it twice!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, Chelsea.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy! Perfect timing. Breakfast is aaalmost ready.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh snap, that looks gr—wait, no!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Look, I gotta clear something up. When I asked you to come live at the Halidom, that was NOT a marriage proposal.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Awww, Luccy, you're so CUTE when you're joking.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'M NOT JOKING!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy...?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I might've given you the wrong idea, and I'm sorry about that. But I want to be very clear: I was NOT saying we should get married. At all.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...So you hate me.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What? No, I don't—<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You're my soul mate. We BELONG together. But I guess we can't be? Or we just won't be? I don't get it.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I feel weird. This world is weird. This is all so WEIRD.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Uh...Chelsea?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Maybe I'll just burn the whole thing down. Start all over. What's the point of a world where my Luccy hates me?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Burn it down. Burn it down, burn it DOWN, BURN IT DOWN BURN IT DOWN BURN IT DOWNBURNITDOWNBURNITDOWN...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...Yep. I'll burn it aaaaall down. Starting with this castle. Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} W-wait, Chelsea! I don't hate you!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} But you said you didn't propose, which means we're not getting married, which means you HATE me, which means I have to BURN—<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Nothing needs to burn. Let's forget about the burning, okay?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...Then can I keep feeding you?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I had a dream, you know. I was feeding you, just like Mama and Papa used to feed me...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *sigh* Sure. Fine. You can feed me.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Really?! Yaaaaaaay! Tee hee hee hee heeee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, ha ha. Yaaaaay...<br /> &lt;center&gt;''She was super unstable. There was no telling what she woulda done if I'd left her like that. So I just went along with her demands.''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Man, I'm exhausted...<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Hey, Luca. How're things with you'n Chelsea?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ranzal! So glad you asked. I need to unload, man! *blah blah blah*<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} That bad, huh? Want me to say something to her?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Sometimes all ya need is a third party to point somethin' out.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Would you really?! I'll take you out for... TEN dinners!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I woulda done it for free, but I'll take that deal! Bwaaa ha ha!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} So? How'd it go?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Er, well, I might actually owe YOU dinner at this point. She uh, didn't take it too well.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *sigh* I knew it...<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Only thing left is to take some time apart, I reckon. Here's what we're gonna do...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, we managed to slip outta the castle without her noticing. But what is this place?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} This is my secret hideout in the woods. Knocked it together a while back as an emergency base of sorts.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Chelsea won't find ya out here, and even if she does, she won't make it past the door. So all ya gotta do is lie low till her passion comes off the boil.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Gotcha. Hey, you wouldn't happen to have something to drink—<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Hot tea for my hottie!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, tha—CHELSEA?! Wha—whe—HOW are you here?!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} The hell happened to the door?! I triple-deadbolted it myself!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I always know where you are, Luccy. That's the power of love! Oh, and the power of love also lets me pick locks. Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Now, what are you doing all the way out here?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You weren't being NAUGHTY, were you?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Abort, abort!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I prepped this smokescreen in case something like this went down. Quick Luca, out the back door!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *pant* Did we lose her?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Looks that way. Let's hunker down at the village nearby.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} GWAH!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ranzal! Are you all right?!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} ...Zzz...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wait... This arrowhead is dull. Could it be a mana-laced sleeping arrow?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} LUUUUCCYYYYY!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Aw cripes! Gotta hide!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oh Luuuuuccyyyyy... I can smeeeeell youuuuuu...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Are you...here?!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Phew... I think I actually gave her the slip.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Found you!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} BWAH! B-but you went the other way!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Yeah, that was a fake out. Now, tell me why you keep running away, love of my life.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (There's no escaping her... Look's like I've got no choice.)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (If it goes badly, though, she'll torch the whole castle...)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} H-hey, can we talk some other time?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} What's wrong with right now?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ah, well, y'know, Ranzal's here, and I was really hoping we could talk...alone.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} *gasp* You mean a date?!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What? No, I'm not—<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} EEEEEEE! A DATE! Just me and my Luccy!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Where should we go? What should I wear? Should I get a haircut? Ooo, what about makeup? And...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er... Okay, I guess we'll call it a date for now.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (But can I even do it? Can I really clear up her misunderstanding?)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (Whatever. I have to settle this once and for all. I either get through to her, or die trying!)<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Hee. A date. Tee hee! With my LUCCY! TEE HEE HEE HEEEEEE!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode3Title=First Date<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Ohmigosh, the food at that cafe was to DIE for!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, it was pretty good.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (I need to find a way to clear things up while we're on this date.)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, about that thing you thought was a proposal...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Do you think that cafe will still be there when we have kids? Ooo, I wanna bring them there so bad!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} And then while we're eating, we can tell them how Mommy and Daddy had their FIRST DATE there! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (Urgh... She's making this so hard to bring up...)<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Hey Luccy, can we stop at the tailor next?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sure, no problem.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Huh? Weren't you gonna look at clothes?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Nope. I'm here for fabric to MAKE clothes.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, you like sewing?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Yep! Accessories, dolls, all kinds of things.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (I just realized I don't actually know that much about her.)<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I want to make some baby clothes. Which do you prefer: floral or plaid?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hmm. Personally, I'd go for something a little more exciting, like—wait, whose babies, exactly?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Tee hee! OURS, obviously!<br /> {{ST|Shopkeeper}} Oh, goodness me! Are you two expecting?<br /> {{ST|Shopkeeper}} Congratulations to you. Here, please take both, on the house!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Wow! Look, Luccy! Now I can make clothes for TWO little ones!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (I need to put my foot down, and fast!)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Listen up, Chelsea! We need to talk about our relationship, okay?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy, you silly boy. Don't make a scene.<br /> {{ST|Customers}} ......<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...Right. Sorry.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You know what? I should make new outfits for Mama and Papa, too. I'll take these fabrics as well, please!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Um, Luccy? I'm going to go pick some flowers.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *sigh* Failed again.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Tell you what though, she's unexpectedly devoted to her family. Makin' clothes for her parents and everything... Wait.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I don't know where I'd go, though. I don't have any family...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Who are Mama and Papa then...?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Nooooooo!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Was that Chelsea?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Let me go!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 1}} C'mon, gorgeous, don't be rude.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What the hell are you guys doing?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy, HEEELP!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 2}} What's it to ya? You her boyfriend or somethin'?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No, he's my HUSBAND!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I am NOT!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You're right. I meant FUTURE husband!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 1}} Jeez, shut up already. I dunno what's up with you two, but unless you wanna taste these hands, I'd get lost.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sorry, but we're actually in the middle of a date.<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 2}} Yeah? Well your face is about to be datin' these fists! Hraaagh!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Look out, Luccy! And you, let GO of me!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 3}} Quit yer strugglin', would ya?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Uwaaaaah! My arm!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelsea!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 1}} Watch your step, kid. If you're not careful, this pretty little bird's gonna have a broken wing. Capiche?<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 2}} Now take what's comin' to ya!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} LUCCY!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 3}} Look on the bright side, gorgeous. We just saved ya from marryin' a loser! Ha ha ha!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...How DARE you...<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 3}} What was that?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} YOU'RE IN FOR IT NOW! Let me GO!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 3}} Quit squirmin', dammit! You want both arms broken?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I have to save my Luccy...<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 3}} HURK! What the hell?!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 1}} You shook him off?! Wh—eyaaargh!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 2}} Where's this strength comin' from?! Uuuuurgh!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy! Are you okay?!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'll be fine. Man, you sure kicked the crap outta those goons.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Love can be dangerous when threatened. Hee!<br /> {{ST|Lowlife 1}} Hey! You think you can just walk away?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Uh oh, Luccy, they're getting back up!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Guess we'll have to set 'em straight for good.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} We're gonna be great parents, huh? C'mon, Luccy!<br /> {{ST|Luca &amp; Chelsea}} Haaaah!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm glad it all worked out, but still... Ow.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I got you some medicine, and bandages too. Gimme oooone second, and I'll have you all fixed up.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Thanks, Chelsea.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (She's an oddball, but she's got a good heart.)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} (Which is exactly why I have to clear things up with her ASAP.)<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You know, you've saved me twice now.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Huh? When was the first time?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Back when we first met! I think about it every morning... And every night, too! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What? You saved ME when we first met. I was fightin' those fiends.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No, before that. You helped search for my Mama and Papa.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er, you lost me.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You really don't remember...?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} We met on a mountain, right? And you said you had no family...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...I see. I was sure our meeting was fate...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelsea?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} But for you, it was just... *sob*<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, wait up! ...Urk! My leg!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelseeea! ...Dammit. She's gone.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What was that all about? Did we meet before that...?<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode4Title=Her Only Ally<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Still no sign'a Chelsea, huh?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} No, and I've looked everywhere. Where could she have gone...?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Sounds like she was pretty shaken when she heard ya didn't remember how you two met.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Maybe there's some kinda clue in that?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Maaaybe...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} She mentioned me helping her look for her parents, but there's no way I'd forget something like that.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I had a look around Chelsea's room to see if there might be any clues.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} You find anythin'?<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Nothing that seemed like it might speak to her whereabouts. I did find these two dolls most curious, however.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} They look like sylvans... A man and a woman.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...Papa and Mama.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *gasp* Is that what she meant...?!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Mind fillin' us in there, pal?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Right. Back before I ever came to the Halidom, I was doing an errand for my village...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, you. Whatcha doin' out here?<br /> {{ST|Girl}} I... I'm looking for my dolls. They're of my Mama and Papa. I love them...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} It's gonna be hard in the dark. Let me help you.<br /> {{ST|Girl}} Huh? Really...?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} 'Course. You look around here, and I'll start searching over there.<br /> {{ST|Girl}} Th-thank you...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} THAT'S where we first met. And if I know Chelsea, that's probably where she's headed right now!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Sounds like ya better get movin'.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} (This is where we met, before fate brought us together again on that mountain.)<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} (I was so sure Luccy shared my feelings...)<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *pant* Chelsea! *pant*<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} L-Luccy?! You're here! Does that mean you...?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yep, I remember. We found the dolls of your mom and dad right here.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sorry for letting it skip my mind all this time.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I'm just happy you remember. Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Still, I don't think it's fair to call our meeting &quot;fate.&quot; I just did what anyone woulda done.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No. What you said to me that day saved my life.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh? I don't really remember saying anything that profound...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} There's still so much you don't know...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy. Can I tell you a story about my past? About my family.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} When I was little, my parents and I left the woodland village we lived in and moved to a human town so they could work as apothecaries.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} &quot;We can better the world by spreading sylvan knowledge.&quot; They always used to say that.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I thought they were the coolest, chasing their dream so intently. I wanted to help however I could, so I worked in their store a lot.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} But the humans were not as supportive. They refused to accept us, and burned the shop to the ground. And my parents, they... They both...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...I getcha. I'm sorry.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I was taken in by some relatives in my old village, but since I'd already left once, I was branded a traitor to sylvan kind.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I was shunned, and people whispered behind my back. Eventually, I decided to leave again, this time for good.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} What point was there in staying? They couldn't understand my parents' dream, and they couldn't understand me, either.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelsea...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Living alone was hard.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} But then I met you, and my world suddenly became brighter.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} All thanks to what you said to me when you found Mama and Papa.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Whoa, so you modeled these dolls on your folks, huh? You guys must be really close.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Yes... I want to be just like them.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} They tried to use sylvan knowledge to better the world, but nobody understood their dream.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sounds like your folks and I would get along.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Huh?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I feel the same way about spreading sylvan knowledge—and my village was also pretty down on the idea.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I think everyone could benefit from sharing their discoveries with each other.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} That way, we all grow together. So I think what your parents were trying to do was really cool!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Hearing that brought me back from the brink.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I realized I wasn't alone. And that made me so, so happy.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} All right, I remember now. Still...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You're not going to take it back now, are you?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You're the only one who understands my feelings, Luccy.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} So our meeting MUST have been fate.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} If we don't get married, I...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Chelsea. Close your eyes for a second.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Huh? Why? Wait... A-are we gonna kiss?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} This is so sudden... But okay! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey. *flick*<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Huh?! You flicked me!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Did that snap you out of it?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} This has gone way too far already. You need to open your eyes and see what's really going on around you.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...What do you mean?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} You were hurt. Nobody around you understood you or your parents, so you felt alone. And I'm sure that was really hard.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} But the world is full of people who DO understand. You just stopped looking.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I might've been the first one you met, but the Halidom is full of people who will understand your feelings.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No... No way!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} The humans in town didn't accept us. The people in my village shunned me! NOBODY understands but YOU!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's just not true, Chelsea. But if you need me to prove that to you, then I will.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Come on, let's head back to the castle.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} W-we're holding hands?! EEEEEEEE!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode5Title=A Healing Heart<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:left&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;''I had to prove to Chelsea that I wasn't the only one who had her back, so I gathered up everyone in the Halidom.''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Luca}} ...Anyway, that's the plan. You guys up for helpin' out?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} We're with ya. And I'm sure we can find more people to join the cause.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} We'll send word to the sylvans in the woods. They're gonna come in DROVES!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} We shall ready the venue. It appears we will have quite a few guests.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Thanks, gang!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} What are you up to, Luccy?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Heh heh, it's a secret!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} But I promise you this: You're about to have a ton more friends.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Luccy...<br /> &lt;center&gt;''A few days passed, and then I brought Chelsea to the courtyard.''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Wh-what's going on here?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Just a little mixer. Humans and sylvans alike, breakin' bread and hangin' out.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} We rounded up some humans who wanted to know more about sylvan customs, and some sylvans who were happy to teach.<br /> {{ST|Soldier}} So that's how y'all handle a bow, is it? Fascinatin'!<br /> {{ST|Weaver}} The dyework here is incredible... I've never seen such unique colors!<br /> {{ST|Dyer}} But you know, if you add mulberries to your dye, you can bring out even deeper shades.<br /> {{ST|Sylvan Artisan}} Is that so? Let's give it a try!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} They're all...getting along. And even LEARNING from each other! It's...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Just like what your mom and dad were striving for, yeah?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} All of us at the Halidom have realized something, traveling around so much.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} There are lots of humans that wanna know more about sylvan practices. Waaay more than you'd think!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} And on the flipside, there's a ton of sylvans that wanna learn from humans, too.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} You just happened to be surrounded by a pretty insular crowd, I guess.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} They all look so happy... Just like Mama and Papa did.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} THERE you two are!<br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} DOUBLE BODY SLAM!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oof!<br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Nya ha ha! That was a solid one!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Jeez, take it easy!<br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} C'mon, it's just a friendly hello! I bet the humans here would take to it pretty quick.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Hey Chelsea, we're all gonna play a game together. Wanna join us?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} You want ME?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} 'Course they do! You're the guest of honor.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} And you've only really been talking to Luca, right?<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Everyone else wants to get to know you too! Plus, between you and me, you can do WAY better than my brother.<br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Everyone, gather round! We're gonna split into teams, and...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} *sniffle*<br /> {{ST|Luca}} What's wrong, Chelsea?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I... I don't know. My heart feels all warm and fluffy, but I'm crying...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Nobody's ever invited me to play before. What should I do, Luccy?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Well, I think step one is to smile. And step two is to get out there!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} We're all just gonna goof off and get to know each other better. That's how you make friends, you know?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ...Okay. Count me in!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Thank you all for coming, everyone. Now, if you could all assist in the clean-up...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sorry Cleo, but I've gotta bounce. I owe Chelsea some one-on-one time.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Of course. Good luck, Luca.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Thanks for today, Luccy. I made a lot of new friends.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Heck yeah you did! Wasn't it easy?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} It was. I guess I've kind of just been in my own world ever since my parents died.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Nobody here had any problem with me; I just convinced myself otherwise.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} It sounds like you finally understand.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} And now that that's cleared up, we actually need to have another important discussion. You mind?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Sure. What is it?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I've thought a lot about how I wanna deepen and broaden the exchange between human and sylvan cultures.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} But to actually make it happen, we need this world to find peace first.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Okay...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm really honored that you care about me so much. But right now, I...<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Right now I can't think of anything but fighting alongside the prince and everyone. We're fighting to save our whole world.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} ......<br /> {{ST|Luca}} So I need you to understand that what I said to you on the mountain wasn't a proposal. I'm really sorry I gave you the wrong idea.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} No, I should be the one apologizing. You tried to explain it multiple times, and I just didn't want to hear it.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I... I'm going to go help clean up. Bye!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Seemed like that went all right. Glad ya finally got through to her.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} She's lived a very unfortunate life. But I think it'll be different after today.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} For your sake, I hope so. Bwa ha ha!<br /> &lt;center&gt;''I thought that was the end of it, but...''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *yawn* Morning already?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Morning, Luccy!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Mornin' Chel—WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' IN MY ROOM?!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I came to wake you up, silly! But you looked so cute all snuggled up, I ended up just staring for a while. Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Aw, man... Wait, I KNOW I locked the door last night!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I gave her a key. It's not good for a lock to be picked so frequently.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} But if you're gonna wake him up, ya gotta actually do it, Chelsea!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wh—Cleo? Sarisse?! What is going ON?!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I've tasked Chelsea with looking after you for a while.<br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} She'll keep you out of trouble. Riiight?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Yup! I'm gonna take the BEST care of you, Luccy. I'll prove to you that I'm prime wife material!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er, did we not JUST clear up the whole marriage thing?<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Oh, we did. But that doesn't mean I'm giving up on you. If anything, I like you even MORE now! Tee hee!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Besides, once you save the world and junk you'll be free to get married, right? That's where I come in.<br /> {{ST|Luca}} *sigh* Two steps forward, one step back...<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Remember that cloth I got on our date? I made some outfits for our future kids; one for a girl, and one for a boy.<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} Do you have any ideas for names? I'd love to name the boy Luccy, after my favorite person in the whole world!<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} I have girl names picked out too, of course, but we should probably lock in our wedding details before all that. Where do you want to have the ceremony?<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hold on a secon—<br /> {{ST|Chelsea}} We'll live happily ever after, one big happy family! Tee hee heeee!<br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, come ooooooon!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}<br /> [[Category:To-Do Adventurer Voice Lines]]</div>

I swear we saw fiends out here just a second ago.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} What...happened?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} There are fiend corpses all over the place, and they've all been killed by arrows.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Whoever shot 'em knew EXACTLY where to aim, too. One arrow, one kill.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} We're dealin' with a real combat vet here.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} So someone killed these fiends in the time it took us to mobilize and get out here?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ...Hmm? Who's there?!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} The next one of you to flinch gets an arrow through the heart.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Easy, now. Who are you?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} You're the ones who should be making introductions, not me.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Are you Imperial soldiers? Do those fiends serve your will? If so, you will not leave this place alive.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We're not with the Empire.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We came here to defeat these fiends ourselves.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We saw them moving to attack the village from inside our castle and came here to stop that from happening.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} The only castle around here belongs to the traitor prince, Euden.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Er, yeah. That's me, actually.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Now can we please just talk about thi—<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} There is no need to explain yourself; if you are the royal turncoat, then you are not my enemy.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} For when fiends attacked my village, it was not you who led them.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Your village? What happened? Is everyone—<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} You need know nothing more than my hatred for the Empire.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Yet I hear you fight them as well?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's right.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I see.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Then permit me to join your ranks, Prince Euden.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We'd be lucky to have an archer as skilled as you on our side.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} But I'd like to know what led you to hate the Empire. Would you be willing to tell me more back at the castle?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} A castle full of humans...<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Very well. Let us hasten there.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh wow. You all LIVE here?!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Huh? Well, yeah, but—<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Eeeee! What's that on the ceiling?! Is it a decoration or whatever?!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Gya! So bright! ...Oooooh, I get it! It must be some kind of light.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Yeah, it's a...light. Can we finish our discussion from earlier now?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} What ARE these walls made from? It's too smooth to be stone... Oh!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} My apologies. I promised to tell you more when we arrived at the castle, did I not?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That was the plan, but it can wait until after you've looked around, if you want.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh, goody! Then show me where you sleep! No, wait! Where you eat!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I've always wondered how you humans eat your meals. Are you standing up, or sitting down, or lying on the floor, or...<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} The hell's up with this crazy lady here? It's like she's a totally different person.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I have no idea. Still, it's nice she's taken such a shine to the castle, I guess?<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode2Title=An Obligation to Fulfill<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh, wow... So you've fought in all kinds of different places, huh?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Like where?! Tell me, tell me!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Well, I guess I've sorta been all over the place...<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You look like you're having fun, Eleonora. What are you two talking about?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Hey, Euden! Perfect!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} You wanna talk to this guy, Eleonora. He's got way better stories than me.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Ain't many people who can tell ya about the life of royalty, after all!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Royalty, you say?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Ooo, I AM curious about how human royalty lives!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yer up, Euden!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Pssst! I was thinkin' I might not get away from this lady till nightfall—thanks for the assist, buddy!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} So then! What kind of life DID you live as a royal human?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I can hardly imagine how fanciful your meals must have been!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Oh, I don't know if they were THAT fancy.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Er, what kinds of questions have you been going around asking everyone, anyway?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh, just about who they are and what they like and how they think and when they eat and anything else they can tell me about human society in general.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I've heard all KINDS of interesting things!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} So you're interested in human society, eh?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Abso-LUTELY.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I finally have the chance to live with humans, and I need to make the most of it!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ...Ah, but I digress. Now is not the time for such folly.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hmm? Why not?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} There's nothing wrong with having an interest in something, after all.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Perhaps under ordinary circumstances— but I have a mission to complete.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Turning my back on that in favor of indulging my curiosity on trivial matters is no way to behave.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Why do you feel like you have to be so hard on yourself?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Because when I become interested in something, I prioritize it above all else.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It is a loathsome habit I have carried with me for as long as I can remember.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I grew up in a village of sylvans, the daughter of a chief.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I was raised to understand that I would eventually claim that title for myself.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But I was always more interested in the lives of humans than the cramped, restrictive lifestyle of the village.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} In fact, I often used to get into trouble for sneaking out of the village.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} After becoming chief, I did my best to suppress that curiosity and act the part, but it never truly went away.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} And this is the village you said was attacked by fiends?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} The same village I was sworn to lead—and to protect.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But the day the kingdom became an empire, the village was overrun by fiends and fell in a single night.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ...I am to blame for this.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That doesn't sound like it's your fault.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} If anyone is to blame, it's the Empire for sending the fiends in the first place.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Do not think to show me pity. It is my responsibility, and mine alone.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} And it is also my responsibility to avenge my people and see justice done.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} These arrows are from my village—arrows filled with the resentment of my people. <br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} And until each one has struck true into an Imperial soldier or fiend—until my vengeance is meted out—I cannot let myself become distracted by silly things.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode3Title=Arrow of Vengeance<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oooo! I've never SEEN a town so big! The human settlements I saw as a child all pale in comparison.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh! Oh! What's that giant building there?!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It doesn't look like something you'd want to live in. Does it have some kind of religious significance?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh my gosh, look at the clothes! They're so DIFFERENT! Why is that, huh?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Heh. I'm glad to see you're having fun.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh, I am!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Everything here is new and exciting and... Wait, what am I doing?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I swore I wouldn't let curiosity get the better of me until after I had exacted revenge against the Empire.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You can't be chasing revenge every waking moment. You need some downtime.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} The Empire will still be there when you're finished exploring the town.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But there are multiple ways I could spend my time more productively. Practicing my archery, for example.<br /> {{ST|Resident}} Eeeek! There's a horde'a fiends headin' toward town!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Fiends?!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} These people are all in danger. We have to hold them off until—<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I'll slaughter every last one of them!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Huh? Eleonora, wait!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We'd be better off staying here and fortifying the entrance than running out and attacking the fiends directly.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But then some might escape!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That doesn't matter! Our first priority has to be protecting the town.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Stay here and cower, then! I will keep this town safe by slaughtering those fiends!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Geez, and she looked so happy and excited before...<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We can't just let her go out on her own.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm going to back her up. The rest of you stay here and defend the town!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} You will die! Every last one of you!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Feel the suffering of my people as you draw your last breath!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Eleonora!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Whoa. They're all trying to run. I think...they're scared of her.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} *pant* *pant* You're late, Euden.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} If you came to help with the fiends, I just finished off the last of them.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm glad you're all right, Eleonora. Still, you shouldn't push yourself like that.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Are you referring to the fact that I went out to fight alone?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} That was not ＂pushing myself.＂ I'm more than strong enough to dispose of fiends like these unaided.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I understand that. But I was also referring to the way you're forcing yourself to obsess over revenge like this.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I force myself to do nothing!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You were so happy when we were in town, and so...sad when you were fighting.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I think the happy one is the real you.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} You can choose to believe what you like, but it doesn't make it true. The REAL me is the one who fights to avenge her people.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Now, if you are quite finished, I'm going back to town.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Are you really okay going on like this, Eleonora? CAN you be okay...?<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode4Title=Pride of the Bow<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} This is...a wasteland. What was it that you wanted to show me here, Eleonora?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} This is where I used to live. It is what's left of my village.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ...Though you'd be hard-pressed to guess that looking at it now.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} By the goddess...<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} A few of my people managed to survive the onslaught of the fiends.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But as you can see, no one could live here anymore, even if they wanted to.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} So now they have scattered to different sylvan settlements around the continent.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} What you see is exactly how it looked when the last of my people fled in terror on that day.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm so sorry...<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} But what was it that made you want to bring me here?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I thought it the fastest way to help you understand why I want revenge.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ......<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} After I was made this village's chief, I thought the title a burden.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ＂If I wasn't chief,＂ I thought, ＂I'd be able to spend so much more time engaging with human culture.＂<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} All it did was keep me from living the life I truly wanted.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But now...I think differently.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Now, I think of being this village's chief as an honor—a source of great pride.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Why the change?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It was the people around me. When I first became chief, I was just an inexperienced young girl—yet they accepted me and did all they could to support me.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It was only because of them that I was able to fulfill my duties at all.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} The title of chief isn't my personal property anymore. <br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It is our pride. It binds us all together as a symbol of our collective strength.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} That is why I have a duty to exact revenge on those who tore our village apart—and by the pride that my people lent to me, I will do exactly that.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ......<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} You once told me not to push myself too hard, and I appreciate the concern.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But as chief, I have no choice BUT to avenge my people—no matter how hard I have to push myself to do it.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} My tribe had great pride in their bows, and it is only fitting that I use mine to right the wrong they have suffered.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ...I understand you better now.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} But do you really think the villagers who lost their lives here want revenge?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} What are you saying?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I don't want you to sacrifice your own happiness or well-being for retribution, no matter how deeply felt.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Because you're a companion—a friend.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} If the people of your village valued you half as much as I do, I'm guessing they'd feel the same way.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} And how can you presume to know the feelings of my people?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I don't—I can only guess.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's why I can't tell you to stop.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I can say this, though:<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} After you've fired your final arrow, you have to keep living.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} If you can't quit seeking revenge, you should at least give some thought to what you'll do at that point.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Just think about what kind of a life you want to lead once your mission is done.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} And think about what kind of a life the people of your village would have wanted you to live.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ...Very well. I will consider it.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode5Title=Once All Arrows Are Loosed<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Cleo! Cleoooo! Were you the one who made that food we had earlier?!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} That's right. Did you not like it?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} No, I didn't like it—I LOVED IT!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} The seasoning was like nothing I've ever tasted! Was that another human dish?!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Yes. It's a favorite of Elisanne's—I learned how to make it after coming here.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Really?!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It was soooo good! I just assumed you'd been making it for a really long time.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I'm happy to hear that, considering how much time I spent working out the recipe.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} That's amazing!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I'm always stunned by how well you all get on here. You're a sylvan, but most of the others are humans, so there must be SOME cultural differences, right?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} That's easy to forget when I see how well you all interact.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It's like one big family.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You're part of that family too, Eleonora.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You seem to be fitting in just fine yourself, even though it's full of humans.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Well, that's just because this castle is especially comfy.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Wait a second. Then...<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} See? You really are happiest when you're interacting with human culture.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh, Euden! You couldn't have timed your appearance better. I have something to talk to you about.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I've been thinking about what you said— about what I should do once my revenge is finally complete.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} No matter how many days I spent thinking about it, I got no closer to an answer. But after speaking with Cleo, I think I have one at last.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'd love to hear it.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Once my revenge has been exacted, I want to rebuild my village and take on the role of chief once more.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ...Except that I want it to be a place where sylvans and humans can live in peace and harmony together.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Interesting. But why did you think of that while talking to Cleo?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} She reminded me how sylvans and humans all live together here.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} And I don't see why I can't make a village where that happens as well.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} If I do, I won't need to deny my curiosity— if anything, it will HELP the village.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I think that's a perfect idea.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Then I have a favor to ask of you...<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Will you help me?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I want my village to be a place just like this castle.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Everyone here lives happily with each other, no matter their background.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But if my village is to do that, I am going to need your help.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'll do whatever I can.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} You will? Thank you.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I hope you can start rebuilding soon.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} As do I—and the fastest way for it to come about is for me to fight by your side.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I hope that's all right with you, Euden.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I wouldn't have it any other way.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}</div>

Who are you?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} You're the ones who should be making introductions, not me.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Are you Imperial soldiers? Do those fiends serve your will? If so, you will not leave this place alive.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We're not with the Empire.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We came here to defeat these fiends ourselves.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We saw them moving to attack the village from inside our castle and came here to stop that from happening.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} The only castle around here belongs to the traitor prince, Euden.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Er, yeah. That's me, actually.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Now can we please just talk about thi—<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} There is no need to explain yourself; if you are the royal turncoat, then you are not my enemy.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} For when fiends attacked my village, it was not you who led them.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Your village?

Is everyone—<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} You need know nothing more than my hatred for the Empire.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Yet I hear you fight them as well?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's right.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I see.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Then permit me to join your ranks, Prince Euden.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We'd be lucky to have an archer as skilled as you on our side.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} But I'd like to know what led you to hate the Empire.

You all LIVE here?!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Huh? Well, yeah, but—<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Eeeee! What's that on the ceiling?! Is it a decoration or whatever?!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Gya!

Can we finish our discussion from earlier now?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} What ARE these walls made from? It's too smooth to be stone... Oh!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} My apologies. I promised to tell you more when we arrived at the castle, did I not?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That was the plan, but it can wait until after you've looked around, if you want.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh, goody! Then show me where you sleep! No, wait! Where you eat!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I've always wondered how you humans eat your meals. Are you standing up, or sitting down, or lying on the floor, or...<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} The hell's up with this crazy lady here? It's like she's a totally different person.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I have no idea. Still, it's nice she's taken such a shine to the castle, I guess?<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode2Title=An Obligation to Fulfill<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh, wow... So you've fought in all kinds of different places, huh?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Like where?! Tell me, tell me!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Well, I guess I've sorta been all over the place...<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You look like you're having fun, Eleonora. What are you two talking about?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Hey, Euden! Perfect!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} You wanna talk to this guy, Eleonora. He's got way better stories than me.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Ain't many people who can tell ya about the life of royalty, after all!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Royalty, you say?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Ooo, I AM curious about how human royalty lives!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yer up, Euden!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Pssst! I was thinkin' I might not get away from this lady till nightfall—thanks for the assist, buddy!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} So then! What kind of life DID you live as a royal human?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I can hardly imagine how fanciful your meals must have been!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Oh, I don't know if they were THAT fancy.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Er, what kinds of questions have you been going around asking everyone, anyway?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh, just about who they are and what they like and how they think and when they eat and anything else they can tell me about human society in general.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I've heard all KINDS of interesting things!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} So you're interested in human society, eh?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Abso-LUTELY.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I finally have the chance to live with humans, and I need to make the most of it!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ...Ah, but I digress. Now is not the time for such folly.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hmm? Why not?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} There's nothing wrong with having an interest in something, after all.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Perhaps under ordinary circumstances— but I have a mission to complete.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Turning my back on that in favor of indulging my curiosity on trivial matters is no way to behave.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Why do you feel like you have to be so hard on yourself?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Because when I become interested in something, I prioritize it above all else.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It is a loathsome habit I have carried with me for as long as I can remember.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I grew up in a village of sylvans, the daughter of a chief.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I was raised to understand that I would eventually claim that title for myself.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But I was always more interested in the lives of humans than the cramped, restrictive lifestyle of the village.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} In fact, I often used to get into trouble for sneaking out of the village.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} After becoming chief, I did my best to suppress that curiosity and act the part, but it never truly went away.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} And this is the village you said was attacked by fiends?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} The same village I was sworn to lead—and to protect.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But the day the kingdom became an empire, the village was overrun by fiends and fell in a single night.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ...I am to blame for this.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That doesn't sound like it's your fault.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} If anyone is to blame, it's the Empire for sending the fiends in the first place.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Do not think to show me pity. It is my responsibility, and mine alone.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} And it is also my responsibility to avenge my people and see justice done.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} These arrows are from my village—arrows filled with the resentment of my people. <br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} And until each one has struck true into an Imperial soldier or fiend—until my vengeance is meted out—I cannot let myself become distracted by silly things.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode3Title=Arrow of Vengeance<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oooo! I've never SEEN a town so big! The human settlements I saw as a child all pale in comparison.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh! Oh! What's that giant building there?!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It doesn't look like something you'd want to live in. Does it have some kind of religious significance?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh my gosh, look at the clothes! They're so DIFFERENT! Why is that, huh?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Heh. I'm glad to see you're having fun.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh, I am!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Everything here is new and exciting and... Wait, what am I doing?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I swore I wouldn't let curiosity get the better of me until after I had exacted revenge against the Empire.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You can't be chasing revenge every waking moment. You need some downtime.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} The Empire will still be there when you're finished exploring the town.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But there are multiple ways I could spend my time more productively. Practicing my archery, for example.<br /> {{ST|Resident}} Eeeek! There's a horde'a fiends headin' toward town!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Fiends?!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} These people are all in danger. We have to hold them off until—<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I'll slaughter every last one of them!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Huh? Eleonora, wait!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We'd be better off staying here and fortifying the entrance than running out and attacking the fiends directly.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But then some might escape!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That doesn't matter! Our first priority has to be protecting the town.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Stay here and cower, then! I will keep this town safe by slaughtering those fiends!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Geez, and she looked so happy and excited before...<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We can't just let her go out on her own.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm going to back her up. The rest of you stay here and defend the town!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} You will die! Every last one of you!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Feel the suffering of my people as you draw your last breath!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Eleonora!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Whoa. They're all trying to run. I think...they're scared of her.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} *pant* *pant* You're late, Euden.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} If you came to help with the fiends, I just finished off the last of them.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm glad you're all right, Eleonora. Still, you shouldn't push yourself like that.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Are you referring to the fact that I went out to fight alone?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} That was not ＂pushing myself.＂ I'm more than strong enough to dispose of fiends like these unaided.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I understand that. But I was also referring to the way you're forcing yourself to obsess over revenge like this.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I force myself to do nothing!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You were so happy when we were in town, and so...sad when you were fighting.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I think the happy one is the real you.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} You can choose to believe what you like, but it doesn't make it true. The REAL me is the one who fights to avenge her people.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Now, if you are quite finished, I'm going back to town.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Are you really okay going on like this, Eleonora? CAN you be okay...?<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode4Title=Pride of the Bow<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} This is...a wasteland. What was it that you wanted to show me here, Eleonora?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} This is where I used to live. It is what's left of my village.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ...Though you'd be hard-pressed to guess that looking at it now.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} By the goddess...<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} A few of my people managed to survive the onslaught of the fiends.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But as you can see, no one could live here anymore, even if they wanted to.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} So now they have scattered to different sylvan settlements around the continent.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} What you see is exactly how it looked when the last of my people fled in terror on that day.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm so sorry...<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} But what was it that made you want to bring me here?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I thought it the fastest way to help you understand why I want revenge.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ......<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} After I was made this village's chief, I thought the title a burden.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ＂If I wasn't chief,＂ I thought, ＂I'd be able to spend so much more time engaging with human culture.＂<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} All it did was keep me from living the life I truly wanted.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But now...I think differently.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Now, I think of being this village's chief as an honor—a source of great pride.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Why the change?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It was the people around me. When I first became chief, I was just an inexperienced young girl—yet they accepted me and did all they could to support me.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It was only because of them that I was able to fulfill my duties at all.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} The title of chief isn't my personal property anymore. <br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It is our pride. It binds us all together as a symbol of our collective strength.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} That is why I have a duty to exact revenge on those who tore our village apart—and by the pride that my people lent to me, I will do exactly that.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ......<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} You once told me not to push myself too hard, and I appreciate the concern.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But as chief, I have no choice BUT to avenge my people—no matter how hard I have to push myself to do it.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} My tribe had great pride in their bows, and it is only fitting that I use mine to right the wrong they have suffered.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ...I understand you better now.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} But do you really think the villagers who lost their lives here want revenge?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} What are you saying?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I don't want you to sacrifice your own happiness or well-being for retribution, no matter how deeply felt.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Because you're a companion—a friend.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} If the people of your village valued you half as much as I do, I'm guessing they'd feel the same way.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} And how can you presume to know the feelings of my people?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I don't—I can only guess.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's why I can't tell you to stop.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I can say this, though:<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} After you've fired your final arrow, you have to keep living.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} If you can't quit seeking revenge, you should at least give some thought to what you'll do at that point.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Just think about what kind of a life you want to lead once your mission is done.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} And think about what kind of a life the people of your village would have wanted you to live.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ...Very well. I will consider it.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode5Title=Once All Arrows Are Loosed<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Cleo! Cleoooo! Were you the one who made that food we had earlier?!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} That's right. Did you not like it?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} No, I didn't like it—I LOVED IT!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} The seasoning was like nothing I've ever tasted! Was that another human dish?!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Yes. It's a favorite of Elisanne's—I learned how to make it after coming here.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Really?!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It was soooo good! I just assumed you'd been making it for a really long time.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I'm happy to hear that, considering how much time I spent working out the recipe.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} That's amazing!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I'm always stunned by how well you all get on here. You're a sylvan, but most of the others are humans, so there must be SOME cultural differences, right?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} That's easy to forget when I see how well you all interact.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It's like one big family.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You're part of that family too, Eleonora.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You seem to be fitting in just fine yourself, even though it's full of humans.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Well, that's just because this castle is especially comfy.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Wait a second. Then...<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} See? You really are happiest when you're interacting with human culture.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh, Euden! You couldn't have timed your appearance better. I have something to talk to you about.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I've been thinking about what you said— about what I should do once my revenge is finally complete.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} No matter how many days I spent thinking about it, I got no closer to an answer. But after speaking with Cleo, I think I have one at last.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'd love to hear it.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Once my revenge has been exacted, I want to rebuild my village and take on the role of chief once more.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ...Except that I want it to be a place where sylvans and humans can live in peace and harmony together.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Interesting. But why did you think of that while talking to Cleo?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} She reminded me how sylvans and humans all live together here.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} And I don't see why I can't make a village where that happens as well.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} If I do, I won't need to deny my curiosity— if anything, it will HELP the village.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I think that's a perfect idea.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Then I have a favor to ask of you...<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Will you help me?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I want my village to be a place just like this castle.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Everyone here lives happily with each other, no matter their background.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But if my village is to do that, I am going to need your help.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'll do whatever I can.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} You will? Thank you.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I hope you can start rebuilding soon.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} As do I—and the fastest way for it to come about is for me to fight by your side.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I hope that's all right with you, Euden.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I wouldn't have it any other way.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}</div>

Still, it's nice she's taken such a shine to the castle, I guess?<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode2Title=An Obligation to Fulfill<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh, wow... So you've fought in all kinds of different places, huh?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Like where?! Tell me, tell me!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Well, I guess I've sorta been all over the place...<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You look like you're having fun, Eleonora. What are you two talking about?<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Hey, Euden! Perfect!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} You wanna talk to this guy, Eleonora. He's got way better stories than me.<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Ain't many people who can tell ya about the life of royalty, after all!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Royalty, you say?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Ooo, I AM curious about how human royalty lives!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Yer up, Euden!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Pssst! I was thinkin' I might not get away from this lady till nightfall—thanks for the assist, buddy!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} So then! What kind of life DID you live as a royal human?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I can hardly imagine how fanciful your meals must have been!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Oh, I don't know if they were THAT fancy.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Er, what kinds of questions have you been going around asking everyone, anyway?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh, just about who they are and what they like and how they think and when they eat and anything else they can tell me about human society in general.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I've heard all KINDS of interesting things!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} So you're interested in human society, eh?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Abso-LUTELY.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I finally have the chance to live with humans, and I need to make the most of it!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ...Ah, but I digress. Now is not the time for such folly.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hmm? Why not?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} There's nothing wrong with having an interest in something, after all.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Perhaps under ordinary circumstances— but I have a mission to complete.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Turning my back on that in favor of indulging my curiosity on trivial matters is no way to behave.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Why do you feel like you have to be so hard on yourself?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Because when I become interested in something, I prioritize it above all else.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It is a loathsome habit I have carried with me for as long as I can remember.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I grew up in a village of sylvans, the daughter of a chief.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I was raised to understand that I would eventually claim that title for myself.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But I was always more interested in the lives of humans than the cramped, restrictive lifestyle of the village.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} In fact, I often used to get into trouble for sneaking out of the village.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} After becoming chief, I did my best to suppress that curiosity and act the part, but it never truly went away.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} And this is the village you said was attacked by fiends?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} The same village I was sworn to lead—and to protect.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But the day the kingdom became an empire, the village was overrun by fiends and fell in a single night.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ...I am to blame for this.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That doesn't sound like it's your fault.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} If anyone is to blame, it's the Empire for sending the fiends in the first place.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Do not think to show me pity. It is my responsibility, and mine alone.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} And it is also my responsibility to avenge my people and see justice done.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} These arrows are from my village—arrows filled with the resentment of my people. <br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} And until each one has struck true into an Imperial soldier or fiend—until my vengeance is meted out—I cannot let myself become distracted by silly things.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode3Title=Arrow of Vengeance<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oooo! I've never SEEN a town so big! The human settlements I saw as a child all pale in comparison.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh! Oh! What's that giant building there?!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It doesn't look like something you'd want to live in. Does it have some kind of religious significance?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh my gosh, look at the clothes! They're so DIFFERENT! Why is that, huh?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Heh. I'm glad to see you're having fun.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh, I am!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Everything here is new and exciting and... Wait, what am I doing?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I swore I wouldn't let curiosity get the better of me until after I had exacted revenge against the Empire.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You can't be chasing revenge every waking moment. You need some downtime.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} The Empire will still be there when you're finished exploring the town.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But there are multiple ways I could spend my time more productively. Practicing my archery, for example.<br /> {{ST|Resident}} Eeeek! There's a horde'a fiends headin' toward town!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Fiends?!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} These people are all in danger. We have to hold them off until—<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I'll slaughter every last one of them!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Huh? Eleonora, wait!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We'd be better off staying here and fortifying the entrance than running out and attacking the fiends directly.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But then some might escape!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That doesn't matter! Our first priority has to be protecting the town.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Stay here and cower, then! I will keep this town safe by slaughtering those fiends!<br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Geez, and she looked so happy and excited before...<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We can't just let her go out on her own.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm going to back her up. The rest of you stay here and defend the town!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} You will die! Every last one of you!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Feel the suffering of my people as you draw your last breath!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Eleonora!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Whoa. They're all trying to run. I think...they're scared of her.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} *pant* *pant* You're late, Euden.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} If you came to help with the fiends, I just finished off the last of them.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm glad you're all right, Eleonora. Still, you shouldn't push yourself like that.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Are you referring to the fact that I went out to fight alone?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} That was not ＂pushing myself.＂ I'm more than strong enough to dispose of fiends like these unaided.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I understand that. But I was also referring to the way you're forcing yourself to obsess over revenge like this.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I force myself to do nothing!<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You were so happy when we were in town, and so...sad when you were fighting.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I think the happy one is the real you.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} You can choose to believe what you like, but it doesn't make it true. The REAL me is the one who fights to avenge her people.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Now, if you are quite finished, I'm going back to town.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Are you really okay going on like this, Eleonora? CAN you be okay...?<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode4Title=Pride of the Bow<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} This is...a wasteland. What was it that you wanted to show me here, Eleonora?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} This is where I used to live. It is what's left of my village.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ...Though you'd be hard-pressed to guess that looking at it now.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} By the goddess...<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} A few of my people managed to survive the onslaught of the fiends.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But as you can see, no one could live here anymore, even if they wanted to.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} So now they have scattered to different sylvan settlements around the continent.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} What you see is exactly how it looked when the last of my people fled in terror on that day.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm so sorry...<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} But what was it that made you want to bring me here?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I thought it the fastest way to help you understand why I want revenge.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ......<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} After I was made this village's chief, I thought the title a burden.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ＂If I wasn't chief,＂ I thought, ＂I'd be able to spend so much more time engaging with human culture.＂<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} All it did was keep me from living the life I truly wanted.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But now...I think differently.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Now, I think of being this village's chief as an honor—a source of great pride.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Why the change?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It was the people around me. When I first became chief, I was just an inexperienced young girl—yet they accepted me and did all they could to support me.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It was only because of them that I was able to fulfill my duties at all.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} The title of chief isn't my personal property anymore. <br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It is our pride. It binds us all together as a symbol of our collective strength.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} That is why I have a duty to exact revenge on those who tore our village apart—and by the pride that my people lent to me, I will do exactly that.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ......<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} You once told me not to push myself too hard, and I appreciate the concern.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But as chief, I have no choice BUT to avenge my people—no matter how hard I have to push myself to do it.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} My tribe had great pride in their bows, and it is only fitting that I use mine to right the wrong they have suffered.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} ...I understand you better now.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} But do you really think the villagers who lost their lives here want revenge?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} What are you saying?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I don't want you to sacrifice your own happiness or well-being for retribution, no matter how deeply felt.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Because you're a companion—a friend.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} If the people of your village valued you half as much as I do, I'm guessing they'd feel the same way.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} And how can you presume to know the feelings of my people?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I don't—I can only guess.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's why I can't tell you to stop.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I can say this, though:<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} After you've fired your final arrow, you have to keep living.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} If you can't quit seeking revenge, you should at least give some thought to what you'll do at that point.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Just think about what kind of a life you want to lead once your mission is done.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} And think about what kind of a life the people of your village would have wanted you to live.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ...Very well. I will consider it.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode5Title=Once All Arrows Are Loosed<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Cleo! Cleoooo! Were you the one who made that food we had earlier?!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} That's right. Did you not like it?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} No, I didn't like it—I LOVED IT!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} The seasoning was like nothing I've ever tasted! Was that another human dish?!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Yes. It's a favorite of Elisanne's—I learned how to make it after coming here.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Really?!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It was soooo good! I just assumed you'd been making it for a really long time.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I'm happy to hear that, considering how much time I spent working out the recipe.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} That's amazing!<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I'm always stunned by how well you all get on here. You're a sylvan, but most of the others are humans, so there must be SOME cultural differences, right?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} That's easy to forget when I see how well you all interact.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} It's like one big family.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You're part of that family too, Eleonora.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You seem to be fitting in just fine yourself, even though it's full of humans.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Well, that's just because this castle is especially comfy.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Wait a second. Then...<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} See? You really are happiest when you're interacting with human culture.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Oh, Euden! You couldn't have timed your appearance better. I have something to talk to you about.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I've been thinking about what you said— about what I should do once my revenge is finally complete.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} No matter how many days I spent thinking about it, I got no closer to an answer. But after speaking with Cleo, I think I have one at last.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'd love to hear it.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Once my revenge has been exacted, I want to rebuild my village and take on the role of chief once more.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} ...Except that I want it to be a place where sylvans and humans can live in peace and harmony together.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Interesting. But why did you think of that while talking to Cleo?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} She reminded me how sylvans and humans all live together here.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} And I don't see why I can't make a village where that happens as well.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} If I do, I won't need to deny my curiosity— if anything, it will HELP the village.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I think that's a perfect idea.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Then I have a favor to ask of you...<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Will you help me?<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I want my village to be a place just like this castle.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} Everyone here lives happily with each other, no matter their background.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} But if my village is to do that, I am going to need your help.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'll do whatever I can.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} You will? Thank you.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I hope you can start rebuilding soon.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} As do I—and the fastest way for it to come about is for me to fight by your side.<br /> {{ST|Eleonora}} I hope that's all right with you, Euden.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I wouldn't have it any other way.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}</div>

I stayed up all night sewing you these new clothes. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Um, okay. Thanks. <br /> &lt;center&gt;'' Lowen's older sister had always done her best to raise him with care. And yet... ''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Louise}} We're going to be living separately from now on, but I still want you to keep a good head on your shoulders, okay? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Don't worry, Sis. I'll be a total adult, and I'll do it for you! <br /> &lt;center&gt;'' The decision has been made for Lowen to live an independent life separate from his sister. However... ''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Lowen, I've folded your laundry for you. I'll just put it here. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} You did my laundry again? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} It's quite all right—I was already doing the rest of the wash anyway. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Er, but doesn't everyone else help out with the chores around here? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I suppose the proper adults do, yes. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Then I should too! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Heh. There's no need to worry about it. Ah, I just remembered that today's afternoon snack is apple pie. You like pie, yes? When you're ready, wash your hands and come to the dining hall. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Um...thanks? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Lucaaa! ...He's not here either?! Honestly, where HAS he run off to? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Luca? He went to the woods, I think. Do you need something? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I TOLD him we were going out to cull fiends today! We don't have enough people without him. Just what are we supposed to do now? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Oh! Oh! Let me come! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Er...you? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Is that a no? It sounds like a no. You don't think I'm strong enough, huh? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Perish the thought, Lowen. I'm merely worried, is all. You're still so young and cute, and... Ahem! Yes, well, there's no need for you to rush onto the battlefield. Please wait in the castle. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} ...... Ugh. What's even the point of me having separated from my sister? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Everything okay, Lowen? You look down. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Everyone keeps treating me like their baby brother, and I'm sick of it! I started living in a separate room from my sister because I wanted to get away from all that, but nothing's changed! I'm never gonna be able to become an adult like this. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hmm. I see. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Take it easy, kid, yeah? Bein' an adult ain't nothin' ya wanna rush into—trust the old man on this one. Yer gonna be grown up before ya know it— and probably before ya want to, if I'm bein' totally honest. So for now, just kick back and enjoy lettin' everybody spoil ya. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} No! I want to change! I want to become an adult that my sister and everyone else can rely on! And I want to help protect people the way everyone else does. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's a fine goal. And if you're set on it, we'll be happy to support you. If there's something you need, just say the word, okay? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hey, really? Thanks! Just you wait—I'm gonna be the best adult who ever adulted! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode2Title=Who I Want to Become<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Ranzal}} Hey, Lowen! I wanna bend yer ear a sec about all that growin' up business. What kinda adult do ya even wanna be? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hmm... That's a good question. Well, I guess I wanna be able to do everything myself. Oh, but still be nice. And strong! And big. Oh, and— <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Hold up a tick, kid. Ya wanna be ripped? Then yer talkin' to the right guy! I'll let ya in on a secret method I keep in the back'a my head for just this kinda thing. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} A...secret method? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Ka-pow! Feast yer eyeballs on this here table! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Whoooa... Soooo much foooood... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Um, Ranzal? Please tell me you're not going to eat all of that. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Not just me—the kid's gonna help pack all this away! Ya wanna be big and strong like Ranzal, yeah? WHO WANTS THAT?! WHO WANTS TO BE BIG AND STRONG?! YOU DO! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} W-well, yeah, but...this is a lot of food. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} *sigh* Don't listen to him, Lowen. He just wants an excuse to stuff his face like he always does. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Hey, that ain't even remotely true! I'm looking out for the kid here. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Well, SOMEONE needs to eat this before it gets cold. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} C'mon, kid! Today...we FEAST! All right, food! I got a nice bit of stomach real estate with your name on it! *chomp* *horf* *slarrrfffp* <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Holy cow! I've never SEEN someone eat so fast. It's almost hypnotic... Er, I mean, I better start eating, and fast! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Lowen? I just want to point out that there are many large, fit adults in the world aside from Ranzal. You don't necessarily have to go about bulking up in the same way he does. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Indeed, who's to say that such a physique is even appropriate for you? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} But Ranzal's an adult, and he's REALLY strong! He's everything I'm not, you know? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} If you ask me, you possess any number of fine qualities that Ranzal lacks. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} She's right. True adults grow by building on their own strengths, not by pushing themselves to be something they aren't. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Yeah, but I dunno what my own strengths even ARE. But I do know I wanna be able to do anything—and also be super ripped just like Ranzal. So now I'm gonna EAT like he does, too! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Well, if you've made up your mind, I won't stop you. Oh and there's plenty more where that came from, so have all you like. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Thanks, Cleo! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Zzzzzz... Sandwiches... <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Get up, you massive sack of suet! We have cleaning to do. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} C'mon, Ranzal! It's gonna be a pain for everyone else if you just eat and pass out like that! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Zzzzz... Honey-baked ham... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Um...Ranzal? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Lowen? I want you to promise me that you won't grow into an adult like...him. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Oh man. Ranzal seems really cool, but I guess he's also kinda uncool in some ways, huh? I'm gonna have to think a little more about what strengths I really want to have. Zzzz... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Ha ha! Did Ranzal really get Lowen to eat until he passed out? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Indeed—though he at least kept it together long enough to help with the cleaning. He even took on Ranzal's share of the work, so I imagine he's exhausted. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} He may be young, but he has quite the head on his shoulders. And compared to THIS one... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Zzzzzz... Gravy boats... <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} *sigh* How can two sleeping faces look so different from each other? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Unlike Ranzal, being adorable is certainly one of Lowen's strengths. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I think I can appreciate how Louise feels about him. Eat lots, sleep more, see the world, and learn at every step. Grow big and strong, Lowen. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Zzzz... &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode3Title=Admiration<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Lowen}} What do you think of THIS?! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You've gotten really good, Lowen. I'm impressed. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} It's all thanks to your training. I'm strong enough to take on any enemies that come my way now! I'm not afraid of anything anymore. Not afraid...of anything... Oh man, I've gotta go to the bathroom. And I've come this far, but... Aaaugh! I can't do this on my own! Wait, no... I'm strong now! You can do this, Lowen. You can do this! Okay, here I go! Uh oh. Where's this? Am I...lost? AAAUUGH! Wait, no. That's just the wind. Stupid wind! That's not nice! Wait, footsteps? At this hour? <br /> {{ST|???}} Must...feed... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Wh-what was that voice?! <br /> {{ST|???}} Muuust...feeeeed! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I sure hope that isn't talking about me... Okay, this is all super weird, but I don't have a choice... I have to fight! <br /> {{ST|???}} GWAAAAAH! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} AAAAAAAAAAAGH! Wait. RANZAL? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} So...hungry... Must...feed... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Oh my gosh. He's SLEEPWALKING. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Haaaaaam... Piiiiiie... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Okay, he's gone now. Boy, I sure hope he doesn't catch a cold. He gave me a heck of a shock, though. Glad he wasn't some kind of monster. ...Huh? I can hear footsteps again. Is that you, Ranzal? Wait, that's not Ranzal. But then, who IS it? A fiend? A ghost? How should I attack it? ...H-hey! You! Stop right there! Eeeek! I can't take it any moooore! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Er, Lowen? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Euden?! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Yes, it's me. I heard someone yelling out here and came to see what was going on. What're you doing out here at this hour? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Ummmmm... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Were you scared of something? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I...um...had to use the bathroom. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Uh oh. Did you get lost? You know what? Never mind. Let me just take you there right now. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Thank you. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You're welcome. Honestly, I'm glad I made it in time. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Yeah. But still, I can't believe I couldn't even go to the bathroom by myself... I thought I was stronger, but I'm still just as weak as ever. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's not true at all, Lowen. You're absolutely getting stronger. But strength comes in many forms. Such as the strength to fight, or the strength to not give in to our fears. And I think it's good for a person to learn many different strengths. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Is that what you did? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You bet. No one just starts out not being afraid of anything, after all. So you should just work hard and get stronger a little bit at a time. If you do that, the number of things that frighten you will decrease, and you'll be able to protect the people you love. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} You know what? You can leave me here. I think I'm gonna be fine. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm off, then. Have a good night, Lowen. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} You too! Oh man, he's SOOO cool! I wanna be like him someday. I'm gonna work even harder to not just be the little brother anymore! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode4Title=Growing Pains<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Lowen}} Hooo boy! I'm really tired. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You trained pretty hard today, Lowen. Make sure to wipe off all your sweat so you don't catch cold. Now then, are you hungry? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Now that you mention it, I might be a little hungry—but I think I'd like to try and make something myself. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} No, don't trouble yourself. Stay here and I'll whip something up. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} (It's happening slowly, but everyone is starting to rely on me more—except for Cleo, that is. At this rate, I'll never get her to stop treating me like a baby brother. I have to get her to recognize that I've grown, but how do I DO that?) <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Aha! Cleo! Cleeeo! Did you already start making the food? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I was just about to get started. Is something the matter? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} No! I just need you to let me take care of it. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} But... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Take a load off, Cleo! Rest those dogs! I've got lunch handled today. Come oooon! You gotta trust me with this stuff sometime! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} V-very well. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} All right! Lemme start by whipping up some soup. I think I remember Louise's recipe pretty well... So I cut the potatoes liiiike...this, right? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Curl your fingers! CURL YOUR FINGERS! You'll lop them off otherwise! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Right! Curled fingers, okay. Now then, everything is diced up, so we throw the veggies into the boiling water. Oh man, that water's hot! And there's steam everywhere. Maybe I'll just stand way back here and toss the veggies into— <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You will most certainly NOT do that! The boiling water could splash out and scald the flesh right off your bones! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I, uh, don't know if it's THAT hot, but sure. Lemme just drop them in real gently... Yeowch! Hot! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Be careful, for the love of the goddess!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} (He's going to kill himself right in my own kitchen. Someone save me...) <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Ta-daaah! Soup's up! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You finished, but... Urgh... I feel dizzy... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Are you okay, Cleo? You look completely exhausted! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I think...I may have worried about you overmuch... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Oh. I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I just wanted to help you out, Cleo. Then you could see how much I've grown and maybe you'd— <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I know, Lowen. It's all right. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} But I made you totally exhausted because I was so wrapped up in myself. I'm really sorry. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Come now, chin up. Accepting the ways in which we might be wanting is all part of maturing. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Heh. I guess I'm still pretty uncool, huh? I thought I had everything figured out, but I just ended up making trouble for you. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Even grown-ups have their flaws, Lowen. We make unsound decisions, panic, and let our emotions get the best of us. We're often more like children than children in that respect. But the difference is that we recognize our mistakes and fight through them. Becoming an adult doesn't mean that your problems all suddenly disappear. Still, I imagine none of this will dissuade you from attempting to grow up as fast as you possibly can. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Not really, no. I wanna become a strong adult who can protect the people that are important to him. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Heh. But you're plenty strong enough already, Lowen. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Er, but weren't you just super worried about how I'd kill myself while making a pot of soup? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You're able to pursue your aspirations with genuine fervor. And that comes from your own strength. Nothing else. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} So I have strength even though I'm still growing up? Hmm... Hey, Cleo? Do you think it's possible to be an adult AND a little brother? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} The only person who can answer that question is you, Lowen. But before we continue this conversation, let's try your soup. I'm simply famished. Oh, and now that you've proven yourself in my kitchen, I'll be assigning you meal prep duties. I assume you're all right with this arrangement? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Of course! Er, but there might still be SOME things I can't do. But I know you'll teach me how to do 'em when the time comes, right, Cleo?! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode5Title=Always a Little Brother<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Lowen}} So I think I have to leave the Halidom for a bit, Prince Euden. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Oh? Where are you headed? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I'm going to visit my mother's grave. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I see. Is Louise coming? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} No. We used to go together every year, but I decided to go on my own this time. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hmm. I imagine you might run into fiends on the way. How about I come with you? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Can you let me go on my own? Please? Louise said it was okay and everything! It's a great chance for me to see if my training has been paying off. Don't worry! I'll be back home safe and sound before anyone even knows I'm gone. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Well, if you're decided, I won't stop you. Be safe, Lowen. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I will! Byeeee! Oh man, I don't feel like things took quite this long when I came here with Louise. I think I'm lost—and that isn't good at ALL. Maybe I should go back... Wait, no! I can't! I have to get stronger! The prince would never turn back! Think, Lowen! Okay, at a time like this, Ranzal would tell a really funny joke or something to lighten the mood. AAAUGH! Those bushes MOOOOVED! Wh-who's there?! ...Oh, it's just a little bird. Aw, it's hurt! I don't think it can fly right now. But if it stays here, some fiend is gonna find it and eat it for a snack! <br /> {{ST|???}} GRRRR! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Eek! Th-that was... <br /> {{ST|???}} RRRRAAAAAARRRGH! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} (It's a fiend! And man, is it ever BIG... I can still get away if I go now, but I'd have to leave that little bird behind. Louise never ran away when she had to protect me. No matter how badly she was hurt, she always stuck it out. And if I want to become an adult who can protect people like she did... I don't have a choice!) <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hey, you stupid fiend! If you're gonna fight someone, have a piece of ME! I'm way braver than you—my sister taught me that! And the prince taught me how to fight! I'm strong now, and I'm not gonna lose. SO COME AT ME, BRO! YAAAAAAAH! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} GRAAAAAAAGH! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I'm worried about Lowen—I do hope that he's all right. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} It's only been three days since he set off, yeah? Ain't no reason to panic yet. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Three days is already far longer than such a trip should take. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I TOLD ya, yer worrying too much! Have a little faith in the kid already. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I agree. We need to believe in Lowen. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hey, everybody! I'm baaaack! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Lowen! You're all right! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} We were so worried about you. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Heh. I figured as much. But hey, I did it, right?! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's very admirable of you. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Thanks! Oh, and I also realized something on this trip. Until now, I thought that if I was still a little brother, I couldn't be an adult. But I was wrong. Even if I separate from my sister and become independent, it won't change the fact I'm her little bro. In fact, that's the whole reason I want to be strong in the first place! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's very wise of you. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I guess even little brothers can get strong, huh? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} They certainly can. And furthermore, you and Louise have an exceptionally powerful bond. That bond drives both of you to be the best people you can be. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hey, that's right! ...Although I didn't do this ALL just for her. I did it for you guys as well, because you've all helped me out so much. Even though we were apart, we were still connected. I was never really alone. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} That is a fascinating way to look at it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I think I understand. I've often had times where the face of someone I care about has come to me in a time of crisis. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Oh man, this kid is blowin' my MIND right now. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hee hee! Yeah, but I still have a long way to go. So I'm gonna bust my butt to become an even cooler adult! Er, along with all of you, of course. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That sounds like a plan. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Oh, by the way, I brought back some meat from my trip. How about I try cooking it up into something we can all enjoy? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Are you certain that's a good idea? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} You're the one who taught me how to do kitchen stuff, Cleo. Believe in your student! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} A jest only, I assure you. I can't wait to try whatever you make. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Then get ready, because I'm gonna be the best at cooking and housework AND fighting! I'm gonna grow in a ton of ways and be the little brother everyone can count on! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}</div>

I stayed up all night sewing you these new clothes. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Um, okay. Thanks. <br /> &lt;center&gt;'' Lowen's older sister had always done her best to raise him with care. And yet... ''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Louise}} We're going to be living separately from now on, but I still want you to keep a good head on your shoulders, okay? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Don't worry, Sis. I'll be a total adult, and I'll do it for you! <br /> &lt;center&gt;'' The decision has been made for Lowen to live an independent life separate from his sister. However... ''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Lowen, I've folded your laundry for you. I'll just put it here. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} You did my laundry again? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} It's quite all right—I was already doing the rest of the wash anyway. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Er, but doesn't everyone else help out with the chores around here? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I suppose the proper adults do, yes. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Then I should too! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Heh. There's no need to worry about it. Ah, I just remembered that today's afternoon snack is apple pie. You like pie, yes? When you're ready, wash your hands and come to the dining hall. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Um...thanks? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Lucaaa! ...He's not here either?! Honestly, where HAS he run off to? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Luca? He went to the woods, I think. Do you need something? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I TOLD him we were going out to cull fiends today! We don't have enough people without him. Just what are we supposed to do now? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Oh! Oh! Let me come! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Er...you? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Is that a no? It sounds like a no. You don't think I'm strong enough, huh? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Perish the thought, Lowen. I'm merely worried, is all. You're still so young and cute, and... Ahem! Yes, well, there's no need for you to rush onto the battlefield. Please wait in the castle. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} ...... Ugh. What's even the point of me having separated from my sister? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Everything okay, Lowen? You look down. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Everyone keeps treating me like their baby brother, and I'm sick of it! I started living in a separate room from my sister because I wanted to get away from all that, but nothing's changed! I'm never gonna be able to become an adult like this. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hmm. I see. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Take it easy, kid, yeah? Bein' an adult ain't nothin' ya wanna rush into—trust the old man on this one. Yer gonna be grown up before ya know it— and probably before ya want to, if I'm bein' totally honest. So for now, just kick back and enjoy lettin' everybody spoil ya. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} No! I want to change! I want to become an adult that my sister and everyone else can rely on! And I want to help protect people the way everyone else does. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's a fine goal. And if you're set on it, we'll be happy to support you. If there's something you need, just say the word, okay? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hey, really? Thanks! Just you wait—I'm gonna be the best adult who ever adulted! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode2Title=Who I Want to Become<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Ranzal}} Hey, Lowen! I wanna bend yer ear a sec about all that growin' up business. What kinda adult do ya even wanna be? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hmm... That's a good question. Well, I guess I wanna be able to do everything myself. Oh, but still be nice. And strong! And big. Oh, and— <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Hold up a tick, kid. Ya wanna be ripped? Then yer talkin' to the right guy! I'll let ya in on a secret method I keep in the back'a my head for just this kinda thing. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} A...secret method? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Ka-pow! Feast yer eyeballs on this here table! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Whoooa... Soooo much foooood... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Um, Ranzal? Please tell me you're not going to eat all of that. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Not just me—the kid's gonna help pack all this away! Ya wanna be big and strong like Ranzal, yeah? WHO WANTS THAT?! WHO WANTS TO BE BIG AND STRONG?! YOU DO! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} W-well, yeah, but...this is a lot of food. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} *sigh* Don't listen to him, Lowen. He just wants an excuse to stuff his face like he always does. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Hey, that ain't even remotely true! I'm looking out for the kid here. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Well, SOMEONE needs to eat this before it gets cold. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} C'mon, kid! Today...we FEAST! All right, food! I got a nice bit of stomach real estate with your name on it! *chomp* *horf* *slarrrfffp* <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Holy cow! I've never SEEN someone eat so fast. It's almost hypnotic... Er, I mean, I better start eating, and fast! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Lowen? I just want to point out that there are many large, fit adults in the world aside from Ranzal. You don't necessarily have to go about bulking up in the same way he does. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Indeed, who's to say that such a physique is even appropriate for you? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} But Ranzal's an adult, and he's REALLY strong! He's everything I'm not, you know? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} If you ask me, you possess any number of fine qualities that Ranzal lacks. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} She's right. True adults grow by building on their own strengths, not by pushing themselves to be something they aren't. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Yeah, but I dunno what my own strengths even ARE. But I do know I wanna be able to do anything—and also be super ripped just like Ranzal. So now I'm gonna EAT like he does, too! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Well, if you've made up your mind, I won't stop you. Oh and there's plenty more where that came from, so have all you like. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Thanks, Cleo! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Zzzzzz... Sandwiches... <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Get up, you massive sack of suet! We have cleaning to do. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} C'mon, Ranzal! It's gonna be a pain for everyone else if you just eat and pass out like that! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Zzzzz... Honey-baked ham... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Um...Ranzal? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Lowen? I want you to promise me that you won't grow into an adult like...him. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Oh man. Ranzal seems really cool, but I guess he's also kinda uncool in some ways, huh? I'm gonna have to think a little more about what strengths I really want to have. Zzzz... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Ha ha! Did Ranzal really get Lowen to eat until he passed out? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Indeed—though he at least kept it together long enough to help with the cleaning. He even took on Ranzal's share of the work, so I imagine he's exhausted. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} He may be young, but he has quite the head on his shoulders. And compared to THIS one... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Zzzzzz... Gravy boats... <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} *sigh* How can two sleeping faces look so different from each other? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Unlike Ranzal, being adorable is certainly one of Lowen's strengths. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I think I can appreciate how Louise feels about him. Eat lots, sleep more, see the world, and learn at every step. Grow big and strong, Lowen. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Zzzz... &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode3Title=Admiration<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Lowen}} What do you think of THIS?! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You've gotten really good, Lowen. I'm impressed. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} It's all thanks to your training. I'm strong enough to take on any enemies that come my way now! I'm not afraid of anything anymore. Not afraid...of anything... Oh man, I've gotta go to the bathroom. And I've come this far, but... Aaaugh! I can't do this on my own! Wait, no... I'm strong now! You can do this, Lowen. You can do this! Okay, here I go! Uh oh. Where's this? Am I...lost? AAAUUGH! Wait, no. That's just the wind. Stupid wind! That's not nice! Wait, footsteps? At this hour? <br /> {{ST|???}} Must...feed... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Wh-what was that voice?! <br /> {{ST|???}} Muuust...feeeeed! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I sure hope that isn't talking about me... Okay, this is all super weird, but I don't have a choice... I have to fight! <br /> {{ST|???}} GWAAAAAH! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} AAAAAAAAAAAGH! Wait. RANZAL? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} So...hungry... Must...feed... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Oh my gosh. He's SLEEPWALKING. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Haaaaaam... Piiiiiie... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Okay, he's gone now. Boy, I sure hope he doesn't catch a cold. He gave me a heck of a shock, though. Glad he wasn't some kind of monster. ...Huh? I can hear footsteps again. Is that you, Ranzal? Wait, that's not Ranzal. But then, who IS it? A fiend? A ghost? How should I attack it? ...H-hey! You! Stop right there! Eeeek! I can't take it any moooore! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Er, Lowen? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Euden?! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Yes, it's me. I heard someone yelling out here and came to see what was going on. What're you doing out here at this hour? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Ummmmm... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Were you scared of something? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I...um...had to use the bathroom. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Uh oh. Did you get lost? You know what? Never mind. Let me just take you there right now. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Thank you. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You're welcome. Honestly, I'm glad I made it in time. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Yeah. But still, I can't believe I couldn't even go to the bathroom by myself... I thought I was stronger, but I'm still just as weak as ever. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's not true at all, Lowen. You're absolutely getting stronger. But strength comes in many forms. Such as the strength to fight, or the strength to not give in to our fears. And I think it's good for a person to learn many different strengths. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Is that what you did? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You bet. No one just starts out not being afraid of anything, after all. So you should just work hard and get stronger a little bit at a time. If you do that, the number of things that frighten you will decrease, and you'll be able to protect the people you love. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} You know what? You can leave me here. I think I'm gonna be fine. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm off, then. Have a good night, Lowen. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} You too! Oh man, he's SOOO cool! I wanna be like him someday. I'm gonna work even harder to not just be the little brother anymore! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode4Title=Growing Pains<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Lowen}} Hooo boy! I'm really tired. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You trained pretty hard today, Lowen. Make sure to wipe off all your sweat so you don't catch cold. Now then, are you hungry? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Now that you mention it, I might be a little hungry—but I think I'd like to try and make something myself. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} No, don't trouble yourself. Stay here and I'll whip something up. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} (It's happening slowly, but everyone is starting to rely on me more—except for Cleo, that is. At this rate, I'll never get her to stop treating me like a baby brother. I have to get her to recognize that I've grown, but how do I DO that?) <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Aha! Cleo! Cleeeo! Did you already start making the food? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I was just about to get started. Is something the matter? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} No! I just need you to let me take care of it. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} But... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Take a load off, Cleo! Rest those dogs! I've got lunch handled today. Come oooon! You gotta trust me with this stuff sometime! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} V-very well. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} All right! Lemme start by whipping up some soup. I think I remember Louise's recipe pretty well... So I cut the potatoes liiiike...this, right? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Curl your fingers! CURL YOUR FINGERS! You'll lop them off otherwise! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Right! Curled fingers, okay. Now then, everything is diced up, so we throw the veggies into the boiling water. Oh man, that water's hot! And there's steam everywhere. Maybe I'll just stand way back here and toss the veggies into— <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You will most certainly NOT do that! The boiling water could splash out and scald the flesh right off your bones! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I, uh, don't know if it's THAT hot, but sure. Lemme just drop them in real gently... Yeowch! Hot! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Be careful, for the love of the goddess!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} (He's going to kill himself right in my own kitchen. Someone save me...) <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Ta-daaah! Soup's up! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You finished, but... Urgh... I feel dizzy... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Are you okay, Cleo? You look completely exhausted! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I think...I may have worried about you overmuch... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Oh. I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I just wanted to help you out, Cleo. Then you could see how much I've grown and maybe you'd— <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I know, Lowen. It's all right. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} But I made you totally exhausted because I was so wrapped up in myself. I'm really sorry. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Come now, chin up. Accepting the ways in which we might be wanting is all part of maturing. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Heh. I guess I'm still pretty uncool, huh? I thought I had everything figured out, but I just ended up making trouble for you. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Even grown-ups have their flaws, Lowen. We make unsound decisions, panic, and let our emotions get the best of us. We're often more like children than children in that respect. But the difference is that we recognize our mistakes and fight through them. Becoming an adult doesn't mean that your problems all suddenly disappear. Still, I imagine none of this will dissuade you from attempting to grow up as fast as you possibly can. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Not really, no. I wanna become a strong adult who can protect the people that are important to him. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Heh. But you're plenty strong enough already, Lowen. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Er, but weren't you just super worried about how I'd kill myself while making a pot of soup? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You're able to pursue your aspirations with genuine fervor. And that comes from your own strength. Nothing else. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} So I have strength even though I'm still growing up? Hmm... Hey, Cleo? Do you think it's possible to be an adult AND a little brother? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} The only person who can answer that question is you, Lowen. But before we continue this conversation, let's try your soup. I'm simply famished. Oh, and now that you've proven yourself in my kitchen, I'll be assigning you meal prep duties. I assume you're all right with this arrangement? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Of course! Er, but there might still be SOME things I can't do. But I know you'll teach me how to do 'em when the time comes, right, Cleo?! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode5Title=Always a Little Brother<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Lowen}} So I think I have to leave the Halidom for a bit, Prince Euden. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Oh? Where are you headed? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I'm going to visit my mother's grave. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I see. Is Louise coming? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} No. We used to go together every year, but I decided to go on my own this time. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hmm. I imagine you might run into fiends on the way. How about I come with you? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Can you let me go on my own? Please? Louise said it was okay and everything! It's a great chance for me to see if my training has been paying off. Don't worry! I'll be back home safe and sound before anyone even knows I'm gone. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Well, if you're decided, I won't stop you. Be safe, Lowen. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I will! Byeeee! Oh man, I don't feel like things took quite this long when I came here with Louise. I think I'm lost—and that isn't good at ALL. Maybe I should go back... Wait, no! I can't! I have to get stronger! The prince would never turn back! Think, Lowen! Okay, at a time like this, Ranzal would tell a really funny joke or something to lighten the mood. AAAUGH! Those bushes MOOOOVED! Wh-who's there?! ...Oh, it's just a little bird. Aw, it's hurt! I don't think it can fly right now. But if it stays here, some fiend is gonna find it and eat it for a snack! <br /> {{ST|???}} GRRRR! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Eek! Th-that was... <br /> {{ST|???}} RRRRAAAAAARRRGH! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} (It's a fiend! And man, is it ever BIG... I can still get away if I go now, but I'd have to leave that little bird behind. Louise never ran away when she had to protect me. No matter how badly she was hurt, she always stuck it out. And if I want to become an adult who can protect people like she did... I don't have a choice!) <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hey, you stupid fiend! If you're gonna fight someone, have a piece of ME! I'm way braver than you—my sister taught me that! And the prince taught me how to fight! I'm strong now, and I'm not gonna lose. SO COME AT ME, BRO! YAAAAAAAH! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} GRAAAAAAAGH! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I'm worried about Lowen—I do hope that he's all right. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} It's only been three days since he set off, yeah? Ain't no reason to panic yet. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Three days is already far longer than such a trip should take. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I TOLD ya, yer worrying too much! Have a little faith in the kid already. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I agree. We need to believe in Lowen. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hey, everybody! I'm baaaack! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Lowen! You're all right! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} We were so worried about you. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Heh. I figured as much. But hey, I did it, right?! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's very admirable of you. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Thanks! Oh, and I also realized something on this trip. Until now, I thought that if I was still a little brother, I couldn't be an adult. But I was wrong. Even if I separate from my sister and become independent, it won't change the fact I'm her little bro. In fact, that's the whole reason I want to be strong in the first place! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's very wise of you. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I guess even little brothers can get strong, huh? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} They certainly can. And furthermore, you and Louise have an exceptionally powerful bond. That bond drives both of you to be the best people you can be. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hey, that's right! ...Although I didn't do this ALL just for her. I did it for you guys as well, because you've all helped me out so much. Even though we were apart, we were still connected. I was never really alone. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} That is a fascinating way to look at it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I think I understand. I've often had times where the face of someone I care about has come to me in a time of crisis. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Oh man, this kid is blowin' my MIND right now. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hee hee! Yeah, but I still have a long way to go. So I'm gonna bust my butt to become an even cooler adult! Er, along with all of you, of course. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That sounds like a plan. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Oh, by the way, I brought back some meat from my trip. How about I try cooking it up into something we can all enjoy? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Are you certain that's a good idea? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} You're the one who taught me how to do kitchen stuff, Cleo. Believe in your student! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} A jest only, I assure you. I can't wait to try whatever you make. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Then get ready, because I'm gonna be the best at cooking and housework AND fighting! I'm gonna grow in a ton of ways and be the little brother everyone can count on! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}</div>

I stayed up all night sewing you these new clothes. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Um, okay. Thanks. <br /> &lt;center&gt;'' Lowen's older sister had always done her best to raise him with care. And yet... ''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Louise}} We're going to be living separately from now on, but I still want you to keep a good head on your shoulders, okay? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Don't worry, Sis. I'll be a total adult, and I'll do it for you! <br /> &lt;center&gt;'' The decision has been made for Lowen to live an independent life separate from his sister. However... ''&lt;/center&gt;<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Lowen, I've folded your laundry for you. I'll just put it here. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} You did my laundry again? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} It's quite all right—I was already doing the rest of the wash anyway. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Er, but doesn't everyone else help out with the chores around here? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I suppose the proper adults do, yes. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Then I should too! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Heh. There's no need to worry about it. Ah, I just remembered that today's afternoon snack is apple pie. You like pie, yes? When you're ready, wash your hands and come to the dining hall. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Um...thanks? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Lucaaa! ...He's not here either?! Honestly, where HAS he run off to? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Luca? He went to the woods, I think. Do you need something? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I TOLD him we were going out to cull fiends today! We don't have enough people without him. Just what are we supposed to do now? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Oh! Oh! Let me come! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Er...you? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Is that a no? It sounds like a no. You don't think I'm strong enough, huh? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Perish the thought, Lowen. I'm merely worried, is all. You're still so young and cute, and... Ahem! Yes, well, there's no need for you to rush onto the battlefield. Please wait in the castle. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} ...... Ugh. What's even the point of me having separated from my sister? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Everything okay, Lowen? You look down. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Everyone keeps treating me like their baby brother, and I'm sick of it! I started living in a separate room from my sister because I wanted to get away from all that, but nothing's changed! I'm never gonna be able to become an adult like this. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hmm. I see. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Take it easy, kid, yeah? Bein' an adult ain't nothin' ya wanna rush into—trust the old man on this one. Yer gonna be grown up before ya know it— and probably before ya want to, if I'm bein' totally honest. So for now, just kick back and enjoy lettin' everybody spoil ya. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} No! I want to change! I want to become an adult that my sister and everyone else can rely on! And I want to help protect people the way everyone else does. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's a fine goal. And if you're set on it, we'll be happy to support you. If there's something you need, just say the word, okay? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hey, really? Thanks! Just you wait—I'm gonna be the best adult who ever adulted! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode2Title=Who I Want to Become<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Ranzal}} Hey, Lowen! I wanna bend yer ear a sec about all that growin' up business. What kinda adult do ya even wanna be? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hmm... That's a good question. Well, I guess I wanna be able to do everything myself. Oh, but still be nice. And strong! And big. Oh, and— <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Hold up a tick, kid. Ya wanna be ripped? Then yer talkin' to the right guy! I'll let ya in on a secret method I keep in the back'a my head for just this kinda thing. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} A...secret method? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Ka-pow! Feast yer eyeballs on this here table! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Whoooa... Soooo much foooood... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Um, Ranzal? Please tell me you're not going to eat all of that. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Not just me—the kid's gonna help pack all this away! Ya wanna be big and strong like Ranzal, yeah? WHO WANTS THAT?! WHO WANTS TO BE BIG AND STRONG?! YOU DO! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} W-well, yeah, but...this is a lot of food. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} *sigh* Don't listen to him, Lowen. He just wants an excuse to stuff his face like he always does. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Hey, that ain't even remotely true! I'm looking out for the kid here. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Well, SOMEONE needs to eat this before it gets cold. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} C'mon, kid! Today...we FEAST! All right, food! I got a nice bit of stomach real estate with your name on it! *chomp* *horf* *slarrrfffp* <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Holy cow! I've never SEEN someone eat so fast. It's almost hypnotic... Er, I mean, I better start eating, and fast! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Lowen? I just want to point out that there are many large, fit adults in the world aside from Ranzal. You don't necessarily have to go about bulking up in the same way he does. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Indeed, who's to say that such a physique is even appropriate for you? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} But Ranzal's an adult, and he's REALLY strong! He's everything I'm not, you know? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} If you ask me, you possess any number of fine qualities that Ranzal lacks. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} She's right. True adults grow by building on their own strengths, not by pushing themselves to be something they aren't. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Yeah, but I dunno what my own strengths even ARE. But I do know I wanna be able to do anything—and also be super ripped just like Ranzal. So now I'm gonna EAT like he does, too! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Well, if you've made up your mind, I won't stop you. Oh and there's plenty more where that came from, so have all you like. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Thanks, Cleo! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Zzzzzz... Sandwiches... <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Get up, you massive sack of suet! We have cleaning to do. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} C'mon, Ranzal! It's gonna be a pain for everyone else if you just eat and pass out like that! <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Zzzzz... Honey-baked ham... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Um...Ranzal? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Lowen? I want you to promise me that you won't grow into an adult like...him. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Oh man. Ranzal seems really cool, but I guess he's also kinda uncool in some ways, huh? I'm gonna have to think a little more about what strengths I really want to have. Zzzz... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Ha ha! Did Ranzal really get Lowen to eat until he passed out? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Indeed—though he at least kept it together long enough to help with the cleaning. He even took on Ranzal's share of the work, so I imagine he's exhausted. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} He may be young, but he has quite the head on his shoulders. And compared to THIS one... <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Zzzzzz... Gravy boats... <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} *sigh* How can two sleeping faces look so different from each other? <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Unlike Ranzal, being adorable is certainly one of Lowen's strengths. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I think I can appreciate how Louise feels about him. Eat lots, sleep more, see the world, and learn at every step. Grow big and strong, Lowen. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Zzzz... &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode3Title=Admiration<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Lowen}} What do you think of THIS?! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You've gotten really good, Lowen. I'm impressed. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} It's all thanks to your training. I'm strong enough to take on any enemies that come my way now! I'm not afraid of anything anymore. Not afraid...of anything... Oh man, I've gotta go to the bathroom. And I've come this far, but... Aaaugh! I can't do this on my own! Wait, no... I'm strong now! You can do this, Lowen. You can do this! Okay, here I go! Uh oh. Where's this? Am I...lost? AAAUUGH! Wait, no. That's just the wind. Stupid wind! That's not nice! Wait, footsteps? At this hour? <br /> {{ST|???}} Must...feed... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Wh-what was that voice?! <br /> {{ST|???}} Muuust...feeeeed! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I sure hope that isn't talking about me... Okay, this is all super weird, but I don't have a choice... I have to fight! <br /> {{ST|???}} GWAAAAAH! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} AAAAAAAAAAAGH! Wait. RANZAL? <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} So...hungry... Must...feed... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Oh my gosh. He's SLEEPWALKING. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Haaaaaam... Piiiiiie... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Okay, he's gone now. Boy, I sure hope he doesn't catch a cold. He gave me a heck of a shock, though. Glad he wasn't some kind of monster. ...Huh? I can hear footsteps again. Is that you, Ranzal? Wait, that's not Ranzal. But then, who IS it? A fiend? A ghost? How should I attack it? ...H-hey! You! Stop right there! Eeeek! I can't take it any moooore! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Er, Lowen? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Euden?! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Yes, it's me. I heard someone yelling out here and came to see what was going on. What're you doing out here at this hour? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Ummmmm... <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Were you scared of something? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I...um...had to use the bathroom. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Uh oh. Did you get lost? You know what? Never mind. Let me just take you there right now. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Thank you. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You're welcome. Honestly, I'm glad I made it in time. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Yeah. But still, I can't believe I couldn't even go to the bathroom by myself... I thought I was stronger, but I'm still just as weak as ever. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's not true at all, Lowen. You're absolutely getting stronger. But strength comes in many forms. Such as the strength to fight, or the strength to not give in to our fears. And I think it's good for a person to learn many different strengths. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Is that what you did? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You bet. No one just starts out not being afraid of anything, after all. So you should just work hard and get stronger a little bit at a time. If you do that, the number of things that frighten you will decrease, and you'll be able to protect the people you love. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} You know what? You can leave me here. I think I'm gonna be fine. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm off, then. Have a good night, Lowen. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} You too! Oh man, he's SOOO cool! I wanna be like him someday. I'm gonna work even harder to not just be the little brother anymore! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode4Title=Growing Pains<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Lowen}} Hooo boy! I'm really tired. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You trained pretty hard today, Lowen. Make sure to wipe off all your sweat so you don't catch cold. Now then, are you hungry? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Now that you mention it, I might be a little hungry—but I think I'd like to try and make something myself. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} No, don't trouble yourself. Stay here and I'll whip something up. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} (It's happening slowly, but everyone is starting to rely on me more—except for Cleo, that is. At this rate, I'll never get her to stop treating me like a baby brother. I have to get her to recognize that I've grown, but how do I DO that?) <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Aha! Cleo! Cleeeo! Did you already start making the food? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I was just about to get started. Is something the matter? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} No! I just need you to let me take care of it. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} But... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Take a load off, Cleo! Rest those dogs! I've got lunch handled today. Come oooon! You gotta trust me with this stuff sometime! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} V-very well. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} All right! Lemme start by whipping up some soup. I think I remember Louise's recipe pretty well... So I cut the potatoes liiiike...this, right? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Curl your fingers! CURL YOUR FINGERS! You'll lop them off otherwise! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Right! Curled fingers, okay. Now then, everything is diced up, so we throw the veggies into the boiling water. Oh man, that water's hot! And there's steam everywhere. Maybe I'll just stand way back here and toss the veggies into— <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You will most certainly NOT do that! The boiling water could splash out and scald the flesh right off your bones! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I, uh, don't know if it's THAT hot, but sure. Lemme just drop them in real gently... Yeowch! Hot! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Be careful, for the love of the goddess!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} (He's going to kill himself right in my own kitchen. Someone save me...) <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Ta-daaah! Soup's up! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You finished, but... Urgh... I feel dizzy... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Are you okay, Cleo? You look completely exhausted! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I think...I may have worried about you overmuch... <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Oh. I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I just wanted to help you out, Cleo. Then you could see how much I've grown and maybe you'd— <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I know, Lowen. It's all right. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} But I made you totally exhausted because I was so wrapped up in myself. I'm really sorry. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Come now, chin up. Accepting the ways in which we might be wanting is all part of maturing. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Heh. I guess I'm still pretty uncool, huh? I thought I had everything figured out, but I just ended up making trouble for you. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Even grown-ups have their flaws, Lowen. We make unsound decisions, panic, and let our emotions get the best of us. We're often more like children than children in that respect. But the difference is that we recognize our mistakes and fight through them. Becoming an adult doesn't mean that your problems all suddenly disappear. Still, I imagine none of this will dissuade you from attempting to grow up as fast as you possibly can. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Not really, no. I wanna become a strong adult who can protect the people that are important to him. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Heh. But you're plenty strong enough already, Lowen. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Er, but weren't you just super worried about how I'd kill myself while making a pot of soup? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} You're able to pursue your aspirations with genuine fervor. And that comes from your own strength. Nothing else. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} So I have strength even though I'm still growing up? Hmm... Hey, Cleo? Do you think it's possible to be an adult AND a little brother? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} The only person who can answer that question is you, Lowen. But before we continue this conversation, let's try your soup. I'm simply famished. Oh, and now that you've proven yourself in my kitchen, I'll be assigning you meal prep duties. I assume you're all right with this arrangement? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Of course! Er, but there might still be SOME things I can't do. But I know you'll teach me how to do 'em when the time comes, right, Cleo?! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode5Title=Always a Little Brother<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Lowen}} So I think I have to leave the Halidom for a bit, Prince Euden. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Oh? Where are you headed? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I'm going to visit my mother's grave. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I see. Is Louise coming? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} No. We used to go together every year, but I decided to go on my own this time. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hmm. I imagine you might run into fiends on the way. How about I come with you? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Can you let me go on my own? Please? Louise said it was okay and everything! It's a great chance for me to see if my training has been paying off. Don't worry! I'll be back home safe and sound before anyone even knows I'm gone. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Well, if you're decided, I won't stop you. Be safe, Lowen. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I will! Byeeee! Oh man, I don't feel like things took quite this long when I came here with Louise. I think I'm lost—and that isn't good at ALL. Maybe I should go back... Wait, no! I can't! I have to get stronger! The prince would never turn back! Think, Lowen! Okay, at a time like this, Ranzal would tell a really funny joke or something to lighten the mood. AAAUGH! Those bushes MOOOOVED! Wh-who's there?! ...Oh, it's just a little bird. Aw, it's hurt! I don't think it can fly right now. But if it stays here, some fiend is gonna find it and eat it for a snack! <br /> {{ST|???}} GRRRR! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Eek! Th-that was... <br /> {{ST|???}} RRRRAAAAAARRRGH! <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} (It's a fiend! And man, is it ever BIG... I can still get away if I go now, but I'd have to leave that little bird behind. Louise never ran away when she had to protect me. No matter how badly she was hurt, she always stuck it out. And if I want to become an adult who can protect people like she did... I don't have a choice!) <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hey, you stupid fiend! If you're gonna fight someone, have a piece of ME! I'm way braver than you—my sister taught me that! And the prince taught me how to fight! I'm strong now, and I'm not gonna lose. SO COME AT ME, BRO! YAAAAAAAH! <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} GRAAAAAAAGH! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I'm worried about Lowen—I do hope that he's all right. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} It's only been three days since he set off, yeah? Ain't no reason to panic yet. <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Three days is already far longer than such a trip should take. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} I TOLD ya, yer worrying too much! Have a little faith in the kid already. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I agree. We need to believe in Lowen. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hey, everybody! I'm baaaack! <br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Lowen! You're all right! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} We were so worried about you. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Heh. I figured as much. But hey, I did it, right?! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's very admirable of you. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Thanks! Oh, and I also realized something on this trip. Until now, I thought that if I was still a little brother, I couldn't be an adult. But I was wrong. Even if I separate from my sister and become independent, it won't change the fact I'm her little bro. In fact, that's the whole reason I want to be strong in the first place! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's very wise of you. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} I guess even little brothers can get strong, huh? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} They certainly can. And furthermore, you and Louise have an exceptionally powerful bond. That bond drives both of you to be the best people you can be. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hey, that's right! ...Although I didn't do this ALL just for her. I did it for you guys as well, because you've all helped me out so much. Even though we were apart, we were still connected. I was never really alone. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} That is a fascinating way to look at it. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I think I understand. I've often had times where the face of someone I care about has come to me in a time of crisis. <br /> {{ST|Ranzal}} Oh man, this kid is blowin' my MIND right now. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Hee hee! Yeah, but I still have a long way to go. So I'm gonna bust my butt to become an even cooler adult! Er, along with all of you, of course. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That sounds like a plan. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Oh, by the way, I brought back some meat from my trip. How about I try cooking it up into something we can all enjoy? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Are you certain that's a good idea? <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} You're the one who taught me how to do kitchen stuff, Cleo. Believe in your student! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} A jest only, I assure you. I can't wait to try whatever you make. <br /> {{ST|Lowen}} Then get ready, because I'm gonna be the best at cooking and housework AND fighting! I'm gonna grow in a ton of ways and be the little brother everyone can count on! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}</div>

I can scarce believe so many rare plants grow here. It's a veritable treasure trove of herbs and the like; I'm truly jealous that Luca gets to live here. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Crap! Crap crap craaaaap! Gotta hide, gotta... Muh? Sylas? Is that you? *poke* Hey, it IS you! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I will thank you not to poke me, Luca. And I see you are the same as ever. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, so long story short here, I'm gonna hide up in that tree while you try to trick my sister. Okay? Okay! Hnnngh! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I'm certain I have no idea what you are talking about. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Where are you, you blockhead?! ...Whoa! Sylas! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Hello, Sarisse. Do you need something? <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Just to find and murder my brick-stupid brother for eating all my apples again. I went to teach him a lesson but good, and the jerk took off on me! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} *sigh* I see. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Do you know where he scuttled off to? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I'm afraid I haven't seen him. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Rrrr! So annoying! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} By the way, Sarisse, are you familiar with the method used for catching an Alberian beetle? <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Err...no? Can't say I do. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} If one wants to capture an Alberian beetle, one needs merely to kick the tree it resides in as hard as possible to have it come tumbling to the ground. Observe! *kick* <br /> {{ST|Luca}} WAAAAAUUUGH! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Now THIS is a rarity! Instead of a beetle, we had a Luca fall out. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Gah, Sylas! BETRAYAL! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I tricked her once, which seemed enough. Now then, don't you think you owe your dear sister an apology? <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} I guess it makes sense you'd be hiding in the same place as a stupid bug. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, uh, Sarisse! Heeeeey, girl! Fancy running into you here! <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} You are the biggest butthead of a brother a girl could ask for. Hiiiii-YA! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm...s-sorry... *thud* <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} So now that I've dealt with that little issue, what are you doing here, Sylas? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I've been curious for some time as to what manner of plants grow in this area. It also seemed like a chance to visit some familiar faces. Speaking of which, I brought this aromatic as a souvenir. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Ooh, is this a new one you made? Exciting! I'm gonna light it up the minute I get home. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Isn't that nice, Luca? Sarisse seems to be in a much better mood. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I would've been happier if you just tricked her. Uuurgh... Buuuut since you're here, you're more than welcome to come kick it at the castle. We'll have Cleo make you some tea as thanks for the aromatic. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Well, assuming Cleo is all right with the arrangement, that sounds lovely. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'll lead the way. Follow me! <br /> <br /> <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...So this is the Halidom, eh? The rumors do not do it justice. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, we're pretty great. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Don't strut around like you had anything to do with it, dope! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Regardless, I know a little something you're just gonna LOVE. Come with me! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Is this...a vegetable garden?! In the castle courtyard?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sure is! Veggies, fruits, weird plants— you name it, we grow it. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Hello, Luca. And you as well, Sarisse. If I'm not mistaken, the person currently accompanying you is... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's my buddy, Sylas. What're you two up to? <br /> {{ST|Aeleen}} Picking rosemary for herbal tea. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} You cultivate edible herbs? Delightful! If it's acceptable, I'd like to take a look. <br /> {{ST|Aeleen}} Fine by me. I'm also cultivating other rare medicinal herbs, if that's something that holds your interest. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It does indeed! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sooo...rain check on the tea, then? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Yes, yes. We'll do that later. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} He's gone gaga for gardening. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ha! He's just as tunnel-visioned about that stuff as he was back in the day. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I had him pegged as a level-headed type, but he might have more Luca in him than I first suspected. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Huh, you think so? Oh, say, can you bring tea for three to my room later? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Very well. I'll brew something excellent with the herbs we're picking. <br /> <br /> <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...This herbal tea was made with the rosemary from your garden, yes? I can taste and smell the quality of the herb, as well as the care and skill that went into tending the garden. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hahaha! Yeah, we're pretty amazing. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Again, why are YOU bragging about this? Nevertheless...*sniff* Oh man, your aromatic smells sooo good, Sylas! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, your smelly dealies have always made me feel oddly relaxed. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Aromatics aren't just about enjoying the scent. The natural powers of plants often have a rejuvenating effect on tired bodies. However, I'd someday like to produce an aromatic that heals not only fatigue, but also the ravages of illne... Good heavens! Was that an explosion?! <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Oh, don't worry about that. Happens all the time around here. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Probably Kleimann's lab going out of control again, or maybe one of Sinoa's experiments getting all 'splody. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} You have researchers here? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sure do. You're always walkin' into rooms filled with one egghead or another. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Research and a garden within the walls, and a jungle of rare plants without... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} How's that, buddy? You kinda did a weird mumble, trail-off thing there. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Luca, where is the lord of this castle now? The one called Euden. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} He's out exterminating fiends. Oughta be back soon, though. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Well, when he returns, I would very much like to make a request of him. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm back, everyone! ...Oh, hello, Luca. Er, did you need something? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sorry to jump on you the second you walk across the moat, but my buddy here needs to pick your brain for a few. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hey, this is your childhood friend Sylas! I'm glad you came to see us. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} My thanks again for your recent help, Prince, but I fear I have a rather impudent request to foist upon you. May I stay here? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You want to stay in the Halidom? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I have a scientific objective, you see. I aim to create a healing aromatic that cures illness as well as fatigue. To that end, I require a great number of components, including aromatic herbs, medicinal herbs, and various vegetable oils for compounding. I've been conducting my research in my village thus far, but have been unable to obtain all the components I require. However, your castle is surrounded by the Mistholt—which contains a trove of wild herbs—and your garden also boasts a rather exceptional bounty. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} In other words, the Halidom is the perfect environment for your research. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I don't mean to lodge here free of charge, of course. Poor though it may be, I shall offer the full extent of my aid in battle. So I implore you, please allow me to conduct my research here. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I, uh, implore you as well! I mean, this guy may not be as tough as me, but he's as skilled as they come. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} That's enough help from you, Luca. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Heh. Well, you've all convinced me—not that I needed a great deal of convincing. You're more than welcome here, Sylas. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I owe you my gratitude, Prince. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} And hey, if you need a science lackey to help out with the beakers or whatever, I'm your man! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Thank you, Luca. This may open new paths forward, and even save countless lives. &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode2Title=A Phantom Scent<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|The Prince}} Sylas, can you use this flower? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Yes, please collect that one as well. *sigh* I'm sorry for dragging you along just to pick plants. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Actually, it's kind of fun. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I appreciate you saying that, Prince. Luca, you ought follow your liege's example and work hard. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey! I AM working hard! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And yet, I recall a time long ago when you merely pretended to help while gathering mushrooms for use in some prank. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You mean back when we were kids and I came to stay in your village? Aaah ha ha! Yeah, I remember that. Good times. Say, speaking of the old days, how's your grandpa doin'? He was the one who taught you all about aromatic stuff, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I fear my grandfather fell victim to a grave illness and passed on some time ago. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, man. Sorry to hear that. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It's all right. He lived a good... Hmm? <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Urgh... *sniffle* Wh-where am I? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} What's wrong, little girl? Are you all alone out here? <br /> {{ST|Girl}} I was picking flowers, and then... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Got lost, huh? Well, she's gotta be from one of the nearby villages, so let's figure out which one and get her home. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Everything's going to be all right. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} *sniff* Thanks, mister. I'll give you one of my yellow flowers. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Why, thank you. Is it your favorite kind? <br /> {{ST|Girl}} My gramma likes 'em, so I'm gonna bring her a whoooole bunch! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's a very kind thought, but walking around the woods alone is dangerous. From now on, you should only gather flowers with your gramma. All right? <br /> {{ST|Girl}} But she can't go out in the woods 'cause she's really sick. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} So were these flowers a get-well present, then? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} What is it, Sylas? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...Nothing. Let us see the child home. <br /> {{ST|Mother}} Oh, thank you so much for bringing my daughter home safe! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We only did what anyone would do. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Mama, I went to pick flowers for gramma! Did I get it right this time? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er, get it right? <br /> {{ST|Mother}} My mother has a treasured memory of a field of yellow flowers. I fear it's made quite the impression on my daughter. She keeps bringing her all manner of yellow flowers, but can't seem to find the exact right ones. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} I know gramma will feel better if she sees her special flower! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And where exactly was this field located? <br /> {{ST|Mother}} Hmm. I believe she was traveling across the southern part of the continent... Maybe in a forest somewhere? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Yellow flowers in a forest to the south... (If that's true, the child will never find the flower she seeks in this climate.) <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} Uurgh... W-water... Please... <br /> {{ST|Mother}} I'm sorry, but my mother has awakened and I need to attend to her. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Of course. We'll be going now. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Thanks for helping me, misters! Oh, and please come tell me if you find the flower my gramma likes, okay? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} We shall do so at once. <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''Later that night...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh man, I'm so hungry I can't even sleep! Think I'll just grab me some munchies from the ol' kitchen and... Um... Why is the light on in Sylas's room? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} All right, that's all the essential oils. Now to carefully begin compounding... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} This have something to do with that flower kid we met this afternoon? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Gya! Luca! Are your knuckles broken, or were you merely too rude to knock?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I did knock! A lot, actually. You were just so wrapped up in that kid's flower business you didn't notice. Make any progress? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} We don't have a lot to go on, but I would surmise the flower she seeks does not bloom in this area at all. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} So gramma won't get to see her flower? Man, that's rough. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Worry not; I have a plan that will let her experience it again all the same. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Well, so long as you're burnin' the midnight oil, you might as well take this. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} An apple? You know I prefer strawberries. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Don't push it, bud. This was all I could find in the pantry. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And yet you thought to sneak off with it! Honestly, you ARE a troublemaker. However, seeing as how I am a bit peckish, I will accept your offer. <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''The next day, Luca and Sylas once again pay a visit to the young girl's home.''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Oh! Did you find gramma's flower?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sorry, kid, but no dice. However, we DID bring somethin' else good... <br /> {{ST|Mother}} Mother? You have guests—and they've brought you a little surprise. <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} *cough* Whatever could it be...? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I know you seek a flower you once saw long ago, madam. Alas, though I tried, I fear I cannot provide that for you. However, I believe this aromatic could at least permit you to enjoy their scent. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} *sniff* Woooow! That smells goooood! <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} Oh my! This...this smell is... <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I had a rough idea of the flower you saw, and replicated its scent with an aromatic. How do you find it? <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} I can see exactly how the field looked that day... Even my husband is there! He asked for my hand in that field, and I gladly gave it to him. Oh ho ho! <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Yaaaay! Gramma smiled! <br /> {{ST|Mother}} It's been ages since I've seen my mother so lively and full of energy! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I am pleased to have brought her this small joy. And with that, we will be off. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Thanks, mister! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wow, Sylas. Your aromatics really helped that lady perk up. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And yet, while it may have given her the strength to face her illness for a short while, it cured nothing. I must finish my healing aromatic for that poor woman's sake! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, so what's the deal with this healing aromatic of yours anyway? Why are you so freakin' obsessed with it? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Because of my grandfather. He battled against his illness until his absolute final moment, and in doing so, suffered as no man should. Only the smell of my aromatics could grant him a moment's respite. That's when I started thinking about improving my craft. Think how much better it would be if my art could heal as well as soothe! Then no one would have to suffer as my grandfather did. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wow, man. That's some heavy stuff. But now that I've heard it, I'm gonna do whatever I can to see your dream become a reality! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Oh, this is no mere dream, Luca. It is an act I will absolutely accomplish. &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode3Title=Child's Play<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Sylas}} Rrrr! It's no use. I've tried and I've tried, but nothing produces the desired effect. How in blazes am I to create my healing aromatic? Does the problem lay in the materials? Or perhaps the ratios used during the compounding process? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, Sylas? We're having a fiend-slayin' meeting in the great hall. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} What if I were to add a medicinal herb that improves blood circulation? But no, that might cause side effects... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Uh, Sylas? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Tch! What am I to DO?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Knock knock! You got dirt in your ears or somethin'? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Cease your senseless prattling and stop interrupting me, you fool! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Uh, right. Well, we're having a meeting, and Euden wants you. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Ah. Apologies. I'll be along presently. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Man, he's really been on edge lately. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} He also dropped the ball a bunch during that fight the other day. <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''Laranoa: childhood friend of Luca and Sylas.''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> <br /> <br /> {{ST|Luca}} He must be impatient 'cause his research isn't goin' so hot. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Yeah, he's never exactly been good at &quot;chilling out.&quot; It's gotta be driving him mega-bonkers to run up against a problem he can't solve. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That guy really is somethin' else. But on that note, I wanted to run an idea past you, Laranoa. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Funny you should say that, Luca; I've been thinking up an idea of my own. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Grrrrrr! Another failure! What is the cause, damn it?! Where have I gone wrong?! I'll never be able to create my healing aromatic at this rate! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sylas, we're goin' crayfishing! C'mon! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I beg your pardon? <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Remember how we used to compete to see which of us could haul in the biggest catch back in the day? Well, I was chattin' with Luca and got a sudden urge to try my luck again. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} C'mon, let's reclaim a little childish innocence and have some fun! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Did you ever actually LOSE any of your childishness? And in any case, I'm quite busy with my research at the moment. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Laranoa, go right! I'll grab from the left! <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Roger that, bud! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Remove your hands from me at once! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You're comin' to the lake with us, pal. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Hands off, I say! ...Urggaaaahh! <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} I'm bagging crayfish hand over fist! Nya ha ha! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} And you're the ONLY one catchin' any! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} *sigh* How did I get dragged into this? I haven't the time to be wasting fishing, and yet here I sit... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Whoa, Sylas! Pull your line up! Gently, now! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Hmm? Oh, yes... Gently, then... Ah. I caught one. Even so, it's nothing worth celebrating. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Whoa, Sylas's crayfish is waaaay bigger than mine! That's awesome! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I suppose it is, now that you mention it. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Gah, crap! I'm dead last here! Hey, wait... I got a bite! Nice! Now I'm just gonna... AAAAGH! <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Nyaaaa ha ha! It totally pinched your finger! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Honestly, what ARE you doing? ...Heh. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Man, Sylas caught the biggest crayfish, which makes me Queen Loser. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Are you satisfied now? Might I finally return to my research? <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Heeeey, look what the dragon dragged in! Say, now that you're here, what say all of us play a little game? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} The prince is in on this too, now? *sigh* What manner of game? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} While you all were out fishing, we hid a treasure somewhere in the castle. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} And it's a DOOZY, so the three of you need to work together and hunt it down! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} But...my research. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, you can't just run off after all the trouble they went to setting this up. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Only a super-jerk would just toss all their planning aside like that. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Yeah, I worked SUPER hard to hide it, so you better make with the searching! Chop chop, bub! Get on it! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} *sigh* Very well. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Then a'treasure huntin' we will go! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, THERE'S that darn chest! Finally! Now to crack it open and see the sweet, sweet riches contained withi.... Huh? It's just a piece of paper. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} There are a bunch of random letters and numbers on this thing. Unless... Oh, WAIT! It's a CODE! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh man, I am NOT good at stuff like this. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} This cypher could not be more insipid. Just let me... Yes, there we have it. It tells us to &quot;go to the kitchen.&quot; <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Holy snot, you solved it ALREADY?! You really are way smarter than ol' Luca over here. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I must have missed the part where you solved the code and didn't tell us. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Can we please just go to the kitchen? I grow weary of this nonsense. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} This treasure chest better actually have some treasure in it, I tell you what. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm opening it! What the?! Smoke's coming out! WAAAAA-CHOOO! <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Oh no! It's one of your sneezebombs! WAAAAA-CHOOOO! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I fell for one'a my own traps! WAAAAA-CHOOOO! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Good thing I was standing over here out of distance from the smoke. I must say, though, the two of you made quite the faces while sneezing. Ha! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, is this guy LAUGHING at us?! Laranoa, you know what to do! <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} I sure do! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Wh-what do you think you're doing?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I think there's enough smoke left for ALL of us to enjoy this little party! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} What?! Stop! Unhand me! Don't bring me near that smo...smo... WAAAAA-CHOO! <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''And so, the three friends zipped around the castle, getting stumped by secret codes and tricked by traps. Until finally...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Okay, I think we've cracked it for real. According to that last code, the treasure should be right here in Sylas's room. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Seeing as how I solved every clue, I'm not certain your &quot;we&quot; is accurate. Still, why is the treasure in MY room? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} We'll never know until we lift the lid and do the whole &quot;Da da da daaaaa!&quot; thing, so let's get to it! ...Hnnnnngh! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Hmm... There is a potion for alleviating fatigue, a poultice for stiff shoulders, and a cushion to reduce back strain. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Stress-relieving goodies up the wazoo! You need any of this, Luca? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Pffft! I'm bursting with energy all the time! Someone who works hard and gets bushed should take all this stuff. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} I'm full of pep and vinegar myself, so I gueeeeess that means... <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} You can both dispense with the act. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Dammit! ...He caught us. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It could not have been more obvious. Did the two of you plan this whole thing? <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Okay, so we didn't know where the treasure was—that search was legit. But we did know WHAT it was. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Do I really seem so tired that you tried to trick me into accepting these baubles? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} SEEM tired? You've been dead on your feet almost since you got here! And when that happens, it's up to your friends to give you a sensible gift. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I'd like to tell you it's none of your business, but I suppose I have been rather at the end of my rope. And today's adventure—no matter how absurd—seems to have lifted the fog from my mind a little. So please allow me to express my gratitude. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sounds like Operation Sylas Chill Pill was a rousing success. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Oh, but we have only BEGUN to fun! C'mon, what's next? Hide-and-seek? Tag? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} There is no need for further chicanery. Also, in the future, you don't need to worry yourselves unduly about me. ...Heh. &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode4Title=Looking Back<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; ''After a physician informs Sylas and Luca about a particular type of medicinal herb, they find themselves climbing a tall mountain in search of it.''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, this one's GOTTA be it. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And if it reacts as we were told it does, I should finally be able to finish my healing aromatic! I thought myself well-versed in wild herbs and the like, but here we are finding one I wasn't even aware of. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Then let's snatch it up and beat feet home. <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaarruugh! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Luca, watch out! Fiends! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Gaaaaaah! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} How dare you! Haaaaah! Luca, are you all right?! Here, let me administer treatment for that wound. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Can't believe I let a chump sneak up on me like tha—YEEEOOOOWWCH! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} This wound is much deeper than I thought. And we'll surely lose the sun should we attempt to go back down the mountain while you're injured like this. We'll just have to make camp here and wait for morning. Here, I found water at a nearby spring. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Thanks, pal. ...Ow. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} If your wound pains you, I suggest rest. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Love to, but I'm way too worked up to hit the hay right now. How's about we talk about old times until I finally nod off? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Yes, that sounds agreeable. What should we talk about? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} How about that time you entered an archery competition with me and Laranoa and ended up all teary-eyed? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Next. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, how about when the three of us went into that dark cave and you were basically on the verge of tears the entire time? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Also no. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Well then, how about when you and me and Laranoa met? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I find that acceptable. Let me see... Goodness, how long ago was that? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I know we were about half as tall as we are now. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And I think it was the first time either of us attended the Vernal Banquet. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I slipped off when my mom wasn't looking to check out festival stuff on my own. And that's when I met Laranoa! She'd given her folks the slip, too. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I, however, had become accidentally separated from my parents and had no idea what to do with myself. But then you and Laranoa found me and decided to help. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I think we just played for a few hours until our parents finally tracked us down. Man, were they ever sore... Anyway, that's what started our friendship! Every year, we'd meet up at the banquet to play and come up with pranks or whatever. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} The pranks were only because you two troublemakers tempted me into it. But in time, I became busy with my research and I was no longer able to leave the village. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} And with Laranoa working on becoming the next chief, the three of us weren't able to hang together anymore. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And just when I thought that would be the end of our relationship, here we find ourselves huddled around a fire. It has been quite the fellowship. *sniff* <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, are you tearing up? Ha ha! I guess some things never change. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...It's time for you to sleep. I shall keep watch. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Well, I'm actually getting tired, so I think I'll take you up on that. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Honestly. ...Heh. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Urgh... Urrrrrgh! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Oh dear, I fear I fell asleep on my watch. Seems there's still some time left until daybreak, so I'll just... Huh? Luca, your wound! It's worse! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I-it's nothin' I can't... Urk! Gaaah! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It is NOT nothing—you're also running an incredibly high fever! I don't have the medicine to treat this; we have to get you down the mountain. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Just...leave me. Save yourself. We'll both end up dead if you try to drag me all the way down this thing. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I will do no such thing. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} C'mon, a guy as smart as you has gotta know the score. Just get out of here and leave me for the worms already. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} This is uncharacteristically weak-willed of you to say that. Nevertheless, the answer is still a very firm &quot;no.&quot; You took command the day we met and dragged me into your life. Now it is MY turn to do the dragging! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} But Sylas, you're...not strong... <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I am no longer the child you seem to think I am. Now be quiet already! <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''Early morning, in the village at the foot of the mountains...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Resident}} *yawn* Huh? Who's knockin' on m'door at this fool hour? ...Huh?! Land sakes, you can barely stand! Who are you?! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} *wheeze* P-please... My companion... needs medical treatment... <br /> {{ST|Resident}} Sweet mother of mercy, lookit that wound! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Please send word to the Halidom as soon as you can... <br /> {{ST|Resident}} I'm on it, pal! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} You see, Luca...? I'm...no longer the child you think I am... <br /> {{ST|Resident}} Hey! You all right, kid? I brought the doc! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Urgh... Wh-where am I? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Thank heavens you're awake, Sylas. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} C-Cleo? Am I back at the castle? Did you heal me? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Thankfully, yes. One of the villagers came to us just in time. The rest looked after you until we arrived. Perhaps you should thank them? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Indeed. But what of Luca? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Er, about that... <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} You bonehead! Injured people should shut up and ACT like injured people! Hiiii-ya! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Gaaah! Sarisse, it ain't fair to attack the wounded! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} His wound was grave, but after I applied healing magic, he recovered all of his strength and then some. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Heh. I see. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} What's up, sleepyhead? Awake at last? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} You look fit to pass back out yourself after those hits from Sarisse. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, let's just leave that one alone. Anyway, I think you forgot somethin'. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} The herbs from the mountain... I tossed everything I was carrying in order to move you. Did you pick these up? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You need 'em for your healing aromatic, yeah? I had to make sure they got home. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Thank you, Luca. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I should be the one thanking you. I take it you'll be gettin' back to your research the second you're recovered? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And I take it you'll be assisting me? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} 'Course I will! We're gonna crack this nut if it's the last thing I do! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode5Title=Onwards, Undeterred<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; ''Sylas aims to crack the secret of a healing aromatic that can also cure any illness. And one day, at long last...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} *pant* *pant* There you are, Luca! You must listen to me! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Whoa! Why are you so out of breath? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I've done it! I've finally done it! I've created my healing aromatic! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wait, seriously? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It finally came together a short while ago thanks to those herbs we picked. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ha ha! That's awesome, Sylas! You're gonna save tons of lives! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It is a bit soon to go that far. While it is done in theory, there is still an extended period of trials to run through. Before it can reliably cure illnesses, I must subject it to a battery of tests to ensure the effects are both reproducible and based on sound science. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Sylas? You have a guest. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I'm not expecting anyone... Ah! It's the girl that was lost in the woods. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Mister, you gotta help my gramma! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Did somethin' happen? <br /> {{ST|Girl}} She's sick and getting sicker, and she's hurting real bad! She's been groaning a bunch, and I'm worried she's going... Going to... Waaaaaah! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} If she's that far gone, I'm not certain there is anything I can do for her. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Why not go see her and bring your new healing aromatic? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I told you, I've yet to confirm its efficacy— to say nothing of any unforeseen side effects that might occur. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} But there's no guarantee it WON'T work. Plus, if what this kid is saying is true, it probably can't hurt to try. Better to try and fail in a case like this than to just stand around and not do anything at all. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} But if it doesn't work... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Tsk! You still get hesitant when things get down to the nitty-gritty, don't you? Why'd you bother doing all this work if you aren't even going to use it? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Why did I bother...? I did this so I could cure people who suffer in the way my grandfather did. And to make sure no one would have to face the same sadness I felt. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Then forget all this hesitation and just DO something already! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I see. For all my worry of sadness, a crying little girl stands before me. Come, Luca! We must make haste! How are you feeling, ma'am? <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} That wonderful scent made my breath come a bit easier. <br /> {{ST|Mother}} I'm stunned. The village healer told us she'd probably be gone by now. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Does it hurt anymore, Gramma? <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} You don't need to worry, child. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sylas, your healing aromatic worked! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} The effects do seem to be more reliable than I allowed myself to hope... In theory, if she smells the aromatic daily, it should eventually cure her illness. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Gramma, did you hear that? You'll be able to go outside! <br /> {{ST|Mother}} I don't know how to repay you. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Aw, don't worry about it. Helpin' folks is just what we do. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I see you're again taking credit for the hard work of others, Luca. ...Heh. I've brought a quantity of aromatic oil. If you run low, please come to the castle for more at any time. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Thanks, mister! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Your grandfather would be proud of you. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I hope so.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''That night, the two friends held a modest celebration to honor Sylas's research.''&lt;/center&gt; A few days later... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} What're you researchin' now, bud? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I'm trying to broaden the range of scents in my healing aromatic. I'd like for a person to select the scent they like best—citrus, floral, or so on. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You really mean business with this. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Sylas? That young girl is back, and she's brought her mother. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} They must be low on aromatic oil. I'll be out straightaway. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Misters... <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Thank you for waiting. I have more oil right here. <br /> {{ST|Mother}} No, that's all right. My mother... Well, she's passed. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} What?! But how could...? <br /> {{ST|Mother}} Your medicine gave her the strength to go outside and play with my daughter one final time, and I will never be able to thank you sufficiently for this. However, a few days ago, we discovered that she had passed on in her sleep. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I...I couldn't save her. <br /> {{ST|Mother}} You mustn't think of it like that, sir. Thanks to your medicine, my mother's final days were ones of great tranquility. Without you, they would have been agony. That's why we came here to thank you. We are truly grateful for your kindness. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Here, mister. I picked you this flower with my gramma. She really liked being able to go outside with me like we used to do. It was great! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I see... ...... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Can't sleep either, Sylas? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} No. As soon as I close my eyes, that girl's face floats into my mind. She seemed so smiling and accepting, and yet also so very lonely. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sylas, you know your aromatic was a success, right? It's because of you that the girl and her gramma got to spend a few happy hours together in the end. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} If you're trying to comfort me, you can save your words. I will not lose heart over this. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Good. Then take that attitude and keep plugging away at your work. ...But hey, Sylas? If you're gonna throw yourself into whatever's next...just don't overdo it. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} C'mon, spit it out. Lemme hear how you're really feeling. If you don't, you're gonna end up overdoing it like before. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} What I really think? I think I regret how I was unable to save that woman. I did not wish her granddaughter to suffer, even if that suffering was lessened. Furthermore, I also wished to help my grandfather, and mourn his loss even now. *sniff* I told myself I was done crying after he passed, and yet look at me now. I still can't save the people I want to save. I can't stand it! I feel pathetic! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay. It's true you still haven't completed your goal. So take this moment to swear what you're gonna do. I'll be your witness. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I...I will create an aromatic that can heal people! And that is no mere dream—it is an act I will absolutely accomplish! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ha ha! That's the spirit! And if things ever get you down, I'll be right here to keep cheerin' you on. So chin up, chum! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Indeed. Right here, in this castle, I will find a way to save everyone! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}</div>

I can scarce believe so many rare plants grow here. It's a veritable treasure trove of herbs and the like; I'm truly jealous that Luca gets to live here. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Crap! Crap crap craaaaap! Gotta hide, gotta... Muh? Sylas? Is that you? *poke* Hey, it IS you! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I will thank you not to poke me, Luca. And I see you are the same as ever. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, so long story short here, I'm gonna hide up in that tree while you try to trick my sister. Okay? Okay! Hnnngh! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I'm certain I have no idea what you are talking about. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Where are you, you blockhead?! ...Whoa! Sylas! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Hello, Sarisse. Do you need something? <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Just to find and murder my brick-stupid brother for eating all my apples again. I went to teach him a lesson but good, and the jerk took off on me! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} *sigh* I see. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Do you know where he scuttled off to? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I'm afraid I haven't seen him. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Rrrr! So annoying! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} By the way, Sarisse, are you familiar with the method used for catching an Alberian beetle? <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Err...no? Can't say I do. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} If one wants to capture an Alberian beetle, one needs merely to kick the tree it resides in as hard as possible to have it come tumbling to the ground. Observe! *kick* <br /> {{ST|Luca}} WAAAAAUUUGH! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Now THIS is a rarity! Instead of a beetle, we had a Luca fall out. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Gah, Sylas! BETRAYAL! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I tricked her once, which seemed enough. Now then, don't you think you owe your dear sister an apology? <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} I guess it makes sense you'd be hiding in the same place as a stupid bug. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, uh, Sarisse! Heeeeey, girl! Fancy running into you here! <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} You are the biggest butthead of a brother a girl could ask for. Hiiiii-YA! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm...s-sorry... *thud* <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} So now that I've dealt with that little issue, what are you doing here, Sylas? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I've been curious for some time as to what manner of plants grow in this area. It also seemed like a chance to visit some familiar faces. Speaking of which, I brought this aromatic as a souvenir. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Ooh, is this a new one you made? Exciting! I'm gonna light it up the minute I get home. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Isn't that nice, Luca? Sarisse seems to be in a much better mood. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I would've been happier if you just tricked her. Uuurgh... Buuuut since you're here, you're more than welcome to come kick it at the castle. We'll have Cleo make you some tea as thanks for the aromatic. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Well, assuming Cleo is all right with the arrangement, that sounds lovely. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'll lead the way. Follow me! <br /> <br /> <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...So this is the Halidom, eh? The rumors do not do it justice. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, we're pretty great. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Don't strut around like you had anything to do with it, dope! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Regardless, I know a little something you're just gonna LOVE. Come with me! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Is this...a vegetable garden?! In the castle courtyard?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sure is! Veggies, fruits, weird plants— you name it, we grow it. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Hello, Luca. And you as well, Sarisse. If I'm not mistaken, the person currently accompanying you is... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's my buddy, Sylas. What're you two up to? <br /> {{ST|Aeleen}} Picking rosemary for herbal tea. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} You cultivate edible herbs? Delightful! If it's acceptable, I'd like to take a look. <br /> {{ST|Aeleen}} Fine by me. I'm also cultivating other rare medicinal herbs, if that's something that holds your interest. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It does indeed! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sooo...rain check on the tea, then? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Yes, yes. We'll do that later. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} He's gone gaga for gardening. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ha! He's just as tunnel-visioned about that stuff as he was back in the day. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I had him pegged as a level-headed type, but he might have more Luca in him than I first suspected. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Huh, you think so? Oh, say, can you bring tea for three to my room later? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Very well. I'll brew something excellent with the herbs we're picking. <br /> <br /> <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...This herbal tea was made with the rosemary from your garden, yes? I can taste and smell the quality of the herb, as well as the care and skill that went into tending the garden. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hahaha! Yeah, we're pretty amazing. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Again, why are YOU bragging about this? Nevertheless...*sniff* Oh man, your aromatic smells sooo good, Sylas! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, your smelly dealies have always made me feel oddly relaxed. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Aromatics aren't just about enjoying the scent. The natural powers of plants often have a rejuvenating effect on tired bodies. However, I'd someday like to produce an aromatic that heals not only fatigue, but also the ravages of illne... Good heavens! Was that an explosion?! <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Oh, don't worry about that. Happens all the time around here. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Probably Kleimann's lab going out of control again, or maybe one of Sinoa's experiments getting all 'splody. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} You have researchers here? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sure do. You're always walkin' into rooms filled with one egghead or another. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Research and a garden within the walls, and a jungle of rare plants without... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} How's that, buddy? You kinda did a weird mumble, trail-off thing there. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Luca, where is the lord of this castle now? The one called Euden. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} He's out exterminating fiends. Oughta be back soon, though. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Well, when he returns, I would very much like to make a request of him. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm back, everyone! ...Oh, hello, Luca. Er, did you need something? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sorry to jump on you the second you walk across the moat, but my buddy here needs to pick your brain for a few. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hey, this is your childhood friend Sylas! I'm glad you came to see us. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} My thanks again for your recent help, Prince, but I fear I have a rather impudent request to foist upon you. May I stay here? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You want to stay in the Halidom? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I have a scientific objective, you see. I aim to create a healing aromatic that cures illness as well as fatigue. To that end, I require a great number of components, including aromatic herbs, medicinal herbs, and various vegetable oils for compounding. I've been conducting my research in my village thus far, but have been unable to obtain all the components I require. However, your castle is surrounded by the Mistholt—which contains a trove of wild herbs—and your garden also boasts a rather exceptional bounty. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} In other words, the Halidom is the perfect environment for your research. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I don't mean to lodge here free of charge, of course. Poor though it may be, I shall offer the full extent of my aid in battle. So I implore you, please allow me to conduct my research here. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I, uh, implore you as well! I mean, this guy may not be as tough as me, but he's as skilled as they come. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} That's enough help from you, Luca. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Heh. Well, you've all convinced me—not that I needed a great deal of convincing. You're more than welcome here, Sylas. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I owe you my gratitude, Prince. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} And hey, if you need a science lackey to help out with the beakers or whatever, I'm your man! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Thank you, Luca. This may open new paths forward, and even save countless lives. &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode2Title=A Phantom Scent<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|The Prince}} Sylas, can you use this flower? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Yes, please collect that one as well. *sigh* I'm sorry for dragging you along just to pick plants. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Actually, it's kind of fun. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I appreciate you saying that, Prince. Luca, you ought follow your liege's example and work hard. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey! I AM working hard! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And yet, I recall a time long ago when you merely pretended to help while gathering mushrooms for use in some prank. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You mean back when we were kids and I came to stay in your village? Aaah ha ha! Yeah, I remember that. Good times. Say, speaking of the old days, how's your grandpa doin'? He was the one who taught you all about aromatic stuff, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I fear my grandfather fell victim to a grave illness and passed on some time ago. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, man. Sorry to hear that. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It's all right. He lived a good... Hmm? <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Urgh... *sniffle* Wh-where am I? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} What's wrong, little girl? Are you all alone out here? <br /> {{ST|Girl}} I was picking flowers, and then... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Got lost, huh? Well, she's gotta be from one of the nearby villages, so let's figure out which one and get her home. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Everything's going to be all right. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} *sniff* Thanks, mister. I'll give you one of my yellow flowers. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Why, thank you. Is it your favorite kind? <br /> {{ST|Girl}} My gramma likes 'em, so I'm gonna bring her a whoooole bunch! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's a very kind thought, but walking around the woods alone is dangerous. From now on, you should only gather flowers with your gramma. All right? <br /> {{ST|Girl}} But she can't go out in the woods 'cause she's really sick. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} So were these flowers a get-well present, then? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} What is it, Sylas? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...Nothing. Let us see the child home. <br /> {{ST|Mother}} Oh, thank you so much for bringing my daughter home safe! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We only did what anyone would do. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Mama, I went to pick flowers for gramma! Did I get it right this time? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er, get it right? <br /> {{ST|Mother}} My mother has a treasured memory of a field of yellow flowers. I fear it's made quite the impression on my daughter. She keeps bringing her all manner of yellow flowers, but can't seem to find the exact right ones. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} I know gramma will feel better if she sees her special flower! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And where exactly was this field located? <br /> {{ST|Mother}} Hmm. I believe she was traveling across the southern part of the continent... Maybe in a forest somewhere? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Yellow flowers in a forest to the south... (If that's true, the child will never find the flower she seeks in this climate.) <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} Uurgh... W-water... Please... <br /> {{ST|Mother}} I'm sorry, but my mother has awakened and I need to attend to her. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Of course. We'll be going now. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Thanks for helping me, misters! Oh, and please come tell me if you find the flower my gramma likes, okay? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} We shall do so at once. <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''Later that night...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh man, I'm so hungry I can't even sleep! Think I'll just grab me some munchies from the ol' kitchen and... Um... Why is the light on in Sylas's room? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} All right, that's all the essential oils. Now to carefully begin compounding... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} This have something to do with that flower kid we met this afternoon? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Gya! Luca! Are your knuckles broken, or were you merely too rude to knock?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I did knock! A lot, actually. You were just so wrapped up in that kid's flower business you didn't notice. Make any progress? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} We don't have a lot to go on, but I would surmise the flower she seeks does not bloom in this area at all. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} So gramma won't get to see her flower? Man, that's rough. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Worry not; I have a plan that will let her experience it again all the same. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Well, so long as you're burnin' the midnight oil, you might as well take this. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} An apple? You know I prefer strawberries. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Don't push it, bud. This was all I could find in the pantry. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And yet you thought to sneak off with it! Honestly, you ARE a troublemaker. However, seeing as how I am a bit peckish, I will accept your offer. <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''The next day, Luca and Sylas once again pay a visit to the young girl's home.''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Oh! Did you find gramma's flower?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sorry, kid, but no dice. However, we DID bring somethin' else good... <br /> {{ST|Mother}} Mother? You have guests—and they've brought you a little surprise. <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} *cough* Whatever could it be...? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I know you seek a flower you once saw long ago, madam. Alas, though I tried, I fear I cannot provide that for you. However, I believe this aromatic could at least permit you to enjoy their scent. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} *sniff* Woooow! That smells goooood! <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} Oh my! This...this smell is... <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I had a rough idea of the flower you saw, and replicated its scent with an aromatic. How do you find it? <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} I can see exactly how the field looked that day... Even my husband is there! He asked for my hand in that field, and I gladly gave it to him. Oh ho ho! <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Yaaaay! Gramma smiled! <br /> {{ST|Mother}} It's been ages since I've seen my mother so lively and full of energy! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I am pleased to have brought her this small joy. And with that, we will be off. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Thanks, mister! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wow, Sylas. Your aromatics really helped that lady perk up. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And yet, while it may have given her the strength to face her illness for a short while, it cured nothing. I must finish my healing aromatic for that poor woman's sake! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, so what's the deal with this healing aromatic of yours anyway? Why are you so freakin' obsessed with it? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Because of my grandfather. He battled against his illness until his absolute final moment, and in doing so, suffered as no man should. Only the smell of my aromatics could grant him a moment's respite. That's when I started thinking about improving my craft. Think how much better it would be if my art could heal as well as soothe! Then no one would have to suffer as my grandfather did. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wow, man. That's some heavy stuff. But now that I've heard it, I'm gonna do whatever I can to see your dream become a reality! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Oh, this is no mere dream, Luca. It is an act I will absolutely accomplish. &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode3Title=Child's Play<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Sylas}} Rrrr! It's no use. I've tried and I've tried, but nothing produces the desired effect. How in blazes am I to create my healing aromatic? Does the problem lay in the materials? Or perhaps the ratios used during the compounding process? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, Sylas? We're having a fiend-slayin' meeting in the great hall. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} What if I were to add a medicinal herb that improves blood circulation? But no, that might cause side effects... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Uh, Sylas? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Tch! What am I to DO?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Knock knock! You got dirt in your ears or somethin'? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Cease your senseless prattling and stop interrupting me, you fool! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Uh, right. Well, we're having a meeting, and Euden wants you. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Ah. Apologies. I'll be along presently. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Man, he's really been on edge lately. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} He also dropped the ball a bunch during that fight the other day. <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''Laranoa: childhood friend of Luca and Sylas.''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> <br /> <br /> {{ST|Luca}} He must be impatient 'cause his research isn't goin' so hot. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Yeah, he's never exactly been good at &quot;chilling out.&quot; It's gotta be driving him mega-bonkers to run up against a problem he can't solve. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That guy really is somethin' else. But on that note, I wanted to run an idea past you, Laranoa. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Funny you should say that, Luca; I've been thinking up an idea of my own. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Grrrrrr! Another failure! What is the cause, damn it?! Where have I gone wrong?! I'll never be able to create my healing aromatic at this rate! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sylas, we're goin' crayfishing! C'mon! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I beg your pardon? <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Remember how we used to compete to see which of us could haul in the biggest catch back in the day? Well, I was chattin' with Luca and got a sudden urge to try my luck again. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} C'mon, let's reclaim a little childish innocence and have some fun! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Did you ever actually LOSE any of your childishness? And in any case, I'm quite busy with my research at the moment. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Laranoa, go right! I'll grab from the left! <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Roger that, bud! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Remove your hands from me at once! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You're comin' to the lake with us, pal. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Hands off, I say! ...Urggaaaahh! <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} I'm bagging crayfish hand over fist! Nya ha ha! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} And you're the ONLY one catchin' any! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} *sigh* How did I get dragged into this? I haven't the time to be wasting fishing, and yet here I sit... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Whoa, Sylas! Pull your line up! Gently, now! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Hmm? Oh, yes... Gently, then... Ah. I caught one. Even so, it's nothing worth celebrating. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Whoa, Sylas's crayfish is waaaay bigger than mine! That's awesome! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I suppose it is, now that you mention it. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Gah, crap! I'm dead last here! Hey, wait... I got a bite! Nice! Now I'm just gonna... AAAAGH! <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Nyaaaa ha ha! It totally pinched your finger! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Honestly, what ARE you doing? ...Heh. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Man, Sylas caught the biggest crayfish, which makes me Queen Loser. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Are you satisfied now? Might I finally return to my research? <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Heeeey, look what the dragon dragged in! Say, now that you're here, what say all of us play a little game? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} The prince is in on this too, now? *sigh* What manner of game? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} While you all were out fishing, we hid a treasure somewhere in the castle. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} And it's a DOOZY, so the three of you need to work together and hunt it down! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} But...my research. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, you can't just run off after all the trouble they went to setting this up. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Only a super-jerk would just toss all their planning aside like that. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Yeah, I worked SUPER hard to hide it, so you better make with the searching! Chop chop, bub! Get on it! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} *sigh* Very well. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Then a'treasure huntin' we will go! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, THERE'S that darn chest! Finally! Now to crack it open and see the sweet, sweet riches contained withi.... Huh? It's just a piece of paper. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} There are a bunch of random letters and numbers on this thing. Unless... Oh, WAIT! It's a CODE! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh man, I am NOT good at stuff like this. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} This cypher could not be more insipid. Just let me... Yes, there we have it. It tells us to &quot;go to the kitchen.&quot; <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Holy snot, you solved it ALREADY?! You really are way smarter than ol' Luca over here. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I must have missed the part where you solved the code and didn't tell us. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Can we please just go to the kitchen? I grow weary of this nonsense. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} This treasure chest better actually have some treasure in it, I tell you what. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm opening it! What the?! Smoke's coming out! WAAAAA-CHOOO! <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Oh no! It's one of your sneezebombs! WAAAAA-CHOOOO! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I fell for one'a my own traps! WAAAAA-CHOOOO! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Good thing I was standing over here out of distance from the smoke. I must say, though, the two of you made quite the faces while sneezing. Ha! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, is this guy LAUGHING at us?! Laranoa, you know what to do! <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} I sure do! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Wh-what do you think you're doing?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I think there's enough smoke left for ALL of us to enjoy this little party! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} What?! Stop! Unhand me! Don't bring me near that smo...smo... WAAAAA-CHOO! <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''And so, the three friends zipped around the castle, getting stumped by secret codes and tricked by traps. Until finally...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Okay, I think we've cracked it for real. According to that last code, the treasure should be right here in Sylas's room. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Seeing as how I solved every clue, I'm not certain your &quot;we&quot; is accurate. Still, why is the treasure in MY room? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} We'll never know until we lift the lid and do the whole &quot;Da da da daaaaa!&quot; thing, so let's get to it! ...Hnnnnngh! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Hmm... There is a potion for alleviating fatigue, a poultice for stiff shoulders, and a cushion to reduce back strain. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Stress-relieving goodies up the wazoo! You need any of this, Luca? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Pffft! I'm bursting with energy all the time! Someone who works hard and gets bushed should take all this stuff. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} I'm full of pep and vinegar myself, so I gueeeeess that means... <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} You can both dispense with the act. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Dammit! ...He caught us. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It could not have been more obvious. Did the two of you plan this whole thing? <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Okay, so we didn't know where the treasure was—that search was legit. But we did know WHAT it was. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Do I really seem so tired that you tried to trick me into accepting these baubles? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} SEEM tired? You've been dead on your feet almost since you got here! And when that happens, it's up to your friends to give you a sensible gift. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I'd like to tell you it's none of your business, but I suppose I have been rather at the end of my rope. And today's adventure—no matter how absurd—seems to have lifted the fog from my mind a little. So please allow me to express my gratitude. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sounds like Operation Sylas Chill Pill was a rousing success. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Oh, but we have only BEGUN to fun! C'mon, what's next? Hide-and-seek? Tag? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} There is no need for further chicanery. Also, in the future, you don't need to worry yourselves unduly about me. ...Heh. &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode4Title=Looking Back<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; ''After a physician informs Sylas and Luca about a particular type of medicinal herb, they find themselves climbing a tall mountain in search of it.''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, this one's GOTTA be it. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And if it reacts as we were told it does, I should finally be able to finish my healing aromatic! I thought myself well-versed in wild herbs and the like, but here we are finding one I wasn't even aware of. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Then let's snatch it up and beat feet home. <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaarruugh! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Luca, watch out! Fiends! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Gaaaaaah! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} How dare you! Haaaaah! Luca, are you all right?! Here, let me administer treatment for that wound. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Can't believe I let a chump sneak up on me like tha—YEEEOOOOWWCH! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} This wound is much deeper than I thought. And we'll surely lose the sun should we attempt to go back down the mountain while you're injured like this. We'll just have to make camp here and wait for morning. Here, I found water at a nearby spring. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Thanks, pal. ...Ow. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} If your wound pains you, I suggest rest. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Love to, but I'm way too worked up to hit the hay right now. How's about we talk about old times until I finally nod off? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Yes, that sounds agreeable. What should we talk about? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} How about that time you entered an archery competition with me and Laranoa and ended up all teary-eyed? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Next. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, how about when the three of us went into that dark cave and you were basically on the verge of tears the entire time? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Also no. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Well then, how about when you and me and Laranoa met? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I find that acceptable. Let me see... Goodness, how long ago was that? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I know we were about half as tall as we are now. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And I think it was the first time either of us attended the Vernal Banquet. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I slipped off when my mom wasn't looking to check out festival stuff on my own. And that's when I met Laranoa! She'd given her folks the slip, too. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I, however, had become accidentally separated from my parents and had no idea what to do with myself. But then you and Laranoa found me and decided to help. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I think we just played for a few hours until our parents finally tracked us down. Man, were they ever sore... Anyway, that's what started our friendship! Every year, we'd meet up at the banquet to play and come up with pranks or whatever. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} The pranks were only because you two troublemakers tempted me into it. But in time, I became busy with my research and I was no longer able to leave the village. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} And with Laranoa working on becoming the next chief, the three of us weren't able to hang together anymore. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And just when I thought that would be the end of our relationship, here we find ourselves huddled around a fire. It has been quite the fellowship. *sniff* <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, are you tearing up? Ha ha! I guess some things never change. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...It's time for you to sleep. I shall keep watch. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Well, I'm actually getting tired, so I think I'll take you up on that. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Honestly. ...Heh. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Urgh... Urrrrrgh! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Oh dear, I fear I fell asleep on my watch. Seems there's still some time left until daybreak, so I'll just... Huh? Luca, your wound! It's worse! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I-it's nothin' I can't... Urk! Gaaah! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It is NOT nothing—you're also running an incredibly high fever! I don't have the medicine to treat this; we have to get you down the mountain. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Just...leave me. Save yourself. We'll both end up dead if you try to drag me all the way down this thing. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I will do no such thing. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} C'mon, a guy as smart as you has gotta know the score. Just get out of here and leave me for the worms already. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} This is uncharacteristically weak-willed of you to say that. Nevertheless, the answer is still a very firm &quot;no.&quot; You took command the day we met and dragged me into your life. Now it is MY turn to do the dragging! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} But Sylas, you're...not strong... <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I am no longer the child you seem to think I am. Now be quiet already! <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''Early morning, in the village at the foot of the mountains...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Resident}} *yawn* Huh? Who's knockin' on m'door at this fool hour? ...Huh?! Land sakes, you can barely stand! Who are you?! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} *wheeze* P-please... My companion... needs medical treatment... <br /> {{ST|Resident}} Sweet mother of mercy, lookit that wound! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Please send word to the Halidom as soon as you can... <br /> {{ST|Resident}} I'm on it, pal! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} You see, Luca...? I'm...no longer the child you think I am... <br /> {{ST|Resident}} Hey! You all right, kid? I brought the doc! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Urgh... Wh-where am I? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Thank heavens you're awake, Sylas. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} C-Cleo? Am I back at the castle? Did you heal me? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Thankfully, yes. One of the villagers came to us just in time. The rest looked after you until we arrived. Perhaps you should thank them? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Indeed. But what of Luca? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Er, about that... <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} You bonehead! Injured people should shut up and ACT like injured people! Hiiii-ya! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Gaaah! Sarisse, it ain't fair to attack the wounded! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} His wound was grave, but after I applied healing magic, he recovered all of his strength and then some. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Heh. I see. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} What's up, sleepyhead? Awake at last? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} You look fit to pass back out yourself after those hits from Sarisse. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, let's just leave that one alone. Anyway, I think you forgot somethin'. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} The herbs from the mountain... I tossed everything I was carrying in order to move you. Did you pick these up? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You need 'em for your healing aromatic, yeah? I had to make sure they got home. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Thank you, Luca. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I should be the one thanking you. I take it you'll be gettin' back to your research the second you're recovered? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And I take it you'll be assisting me? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} 'Course I will! We're gonna crack this nut if it's the last thing I do! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode5Title=Onwards, Undeterred<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; ''Sylas aims to crack the secret of a healing aromatic that can also cure any illness. And one day, at long last...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} *pant* *pant* There you are, Luca! You must listen to me! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Whoa! Why are you so out of breath? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I've done it! I've finally done it! I've created my healing aromatic! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wait, seriously? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It finally came together a short while ago thanks to those herbs we picked. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ha ha! That's awesome, Sylas! You're gonna save tons of lives! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It is a bit soon to go that far. While it is done in theory, there is still an extended period of trials to run through. Before it can reliably cure illnesses, I must subject it to a battery of tests to ensure the effects are both reproducible and based on sound science. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Sylas? You have a guest. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I'm not expecting anyone... Ah! It's the girl that was lost in the woods. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Mister, you gotta help my gramma! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Did somethin' happen? <br /> {{ST|Girl}} She's sick and getting sicker, and she's hurting real bad! She's been groaning a bunch, and I'm worried she's going... Going to... Waaaaaah! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} If she's that far gone, I'm not certain there is anything I can do for her. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Why not go see her and bring your new healing aromatic? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I told you, I've yet to confirm its efficacy— to say nothing of any unforeseen side effects that might occur. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} But there's no guarantee it WON'T work. Plus, if what this kid is saying is true, it probably can't hurt to try. Better to try and fail in a case like this than to just stand around and not do anything at all. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} But if it doesn't work... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Tsk! You still get hesitant when things get down to the nitty-gritty, don't you? Why'd you bother doing all this work if you aren't even going to use it? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Why did I bother...? I did this so I could cure people who suffer in the way my grandfather did. And to make sure no one would have to face the same sadness I felt. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Then forget all this hesitation and just DO something already! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I see. For all my worry of sadness, a crying little girl stands before me. Come, Luca! We must make haste! How are you feeling, ma'am? <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} That wonderful scent made my breath come a bit easier. <br /> {{ST|Mother}} I'm stunned. The village healer told us she'd probably be gone by now. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Does it hurt anymore, Gramma? <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} You don't need to worry, child. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sylas, your healing aromatic worked! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} The effects do seem to be more reliable than I allowed myself to hope... In theory, if she smells the aromatic daily, it should eventually cure her illness. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Gramma, did you hear that? You'll be able to go outside! <br /> {{ST|Mother}} I don't know how to repay you. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Aw, don't worry about it. Helpin' folks is just what we do. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I see you're again taking credit for the hard work of others, Luca. ...Heh. I've brought a quantity of aromatic oil. If you run low, please come to the castle for more at any time. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Thanks, mister! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Your grandfather would be proud of you. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I hope so.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''That night, the two friends held a modest celebration to honor Sylas's research.''&lt;/center&gt; A few days later... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} What're you researchin' now, bud? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I'm trying to broaden the range of scents in my healing aromatic. I'd like for a person to select the scent they like best—citrus, floral, or so on. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You really mean business with this. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Sylas? That young girl is back, and she's brought her mother. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} They must be low on aromatic oil. I'll be out straightaway. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Misters... <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Thank you for waiting. I have more oil right here. <br /> {{ST|Mother}} No, that's all right. My mother... Well, she's passed. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} What?! But how could...? <br /> {{ST|Mother}} Your medicine gave her the strength to go outside and play with my daughter one final time, and I will never be able to thank you sufficiently for this. However, a few days ago, we discovered that she had passed on in her sleep. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I...I couldn't save her. <br /> {{ST|Mother}} You mustn't think of it like that, sir. Thanks to your medicine, my mother's final days were ones of great tranquility. Without you, they would have been agony. That's why we came here to thank you. We are truly grateful for your kindness. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Here, mister. I picked you this flower with my gramma. She really liked being able to go outside with me like we used to do. It was great! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I see... ...... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Can't sleep either, Sylas? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} No. As soon as I close my eyes, that girl's face floats into my mind. She seemed so smiling and accepting, and yet also so very lonely. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sylas, you know your aromatic was a success, right? It's because of you that the girl and her gramma got to spend a few happy hours together in the end. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} If you're trying to comfort me, you can save your words. I will not lose heart over this. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Good. Then take that attitude and keep plugging away at your work. ...But hey, Sylas? If you're gonna throw yourself into whatever's next...just don't overdo it. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} C'mon, spit it out. Lemme hear how you're really feeling. If you don't, you're gonna end up overdoing it like before. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} What I really think? I think I regret how I was unable to save that woman. I did not wish her granddaughter to suffer, even if that suffering was lessened. Furthermore, I also wished to help my grandfather, and mourn his loss even now. *sniff* I told myself I was done crying after he passed, and yet look at me now. I still can't save the people I want to save. I can't stand it! I feel pathetic! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay. It's true you still haven't completed your goal. So take this moment to swear what you're gonna do. I'll be your witness. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I...I will create an aromatic that can heal people! And that is no mere dream—it is an act I will absolutely accomplish! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ha ha! That's the spirit! And if things ever get you down, I'll be right here to keep cheerin' you on. So chin up, chum! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Indeed. Right here, in this castle, I will find a way to save everyone! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}</div>

I can scarce believe so many rare plants grow here. It's a veritable treasure trove of herbs and the like; I'm truly jealous that Luca gets to live here. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Crap! Crap crap craaaaap! Gotta hide, gotta... Muh? Sylas? Is that you? *poke* Hey, it IS you! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I will thank you not to poke me, Luca. And I see you are the same as ever. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, so long story short here, I'm gonna hide up in that tree while you try to trick my sister. Okay? Okay! Hnnngh! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I'm certain I have no idea what you are talking about. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Where are you, you blockhead?! ...Whoa! Sylas! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Hello, Sarisse. Do you need something? <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Just to find and murder my brick-stupid brother for eating all my apples again. I went to teach him a lesson but good, and the jerk took off on me! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} *sigh* I see. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Do you know where he scuttled off to? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I'm afraid I haven't seen him. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Rrrr! So annoying! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} By the way, Sarisse, are you familiar with the method used for catching an Alberian beetle? <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Err...no? Can't say I do. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} If one wants to capture an Alberian beetle, one needs merely to kick the tree it resides in as hard as possible to have it come tumbling to the ground. Observe! *kick* <br /> {{ST|Luca}} WAAAAAUUUGH! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Now THIS is a rarity! Instead of a beetle, we had a Luca fall out. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Gah, Sylas! BETRAYAL! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I tricked her once, which seemed enough. Now then, don't you think you owe your dear sister an apology? <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} I guess it makes sense you'd be hiding in the same place as a stupid bug. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, uh, Sarisse! Heeeeey, girl! Fancy running into you here! <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} You are the biggest butthead of a brother a girl could ask for. Hiiiii-YA! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm...s-sorry... *thud* <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} So now that I've dealt with that little issue, what are you doing here, Sylas? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I've been curious for some time as to what manner of plants grow in this area. It also seemed like a chance to visit some familiar faces. Speaking of which, I brought this aromatic as a souvenir. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Ooh, is this a new one you made? Exciting! I'm gonna light it up the minute I get home. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Isn't that nice, Luca? Sarisse seems to be in a much better mood. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I would've been happier if you just tricked her. Uuurgh... Buuuut since you're here, you're more than welcome to come kick it at the castle. We'll have Cleo make you some tea as thanks for the aromatic. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Well, assuming Cleo is all right with the arrangement, that sounds lovely. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'll lead the way. Follow me! <br /> <br /> <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...So this is the Halidom, eh? The rumors do not do it justice. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, we're pretty great. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Don't strut around like you had anything to do with it, dope! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Regardless, I know a little something you're just gonna LOVE. Come with me! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Is this...a vegetable garden?! In the castle courtyard?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sure is! Veggies, fruits, weird plants— you name it, we grow it. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Hello, Luca. And you as well, Sarisse. If I'm not mistaken, the person currently accompanying you is... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That's my buddy, Sylas. What're you two up to? <br /> {{ST|Aeleen}} Picking rosemary for herbal tea. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} You cultivate edible herbs? Delightful! If it's acceptable, I'd like to take a look. <br /> {{ST|Aeleen}} Fine by me. I'm also cultivating other rare medicinal herbs, if that's something that holds your interest. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It does indeed! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sooo...rain check on the tea, then? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Yes, yes. We'll do that later. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} He's gone gaga for gardening. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ha! He's just as tunnel-visioned about that stuff as he was back in the day. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} I had him pegged as a level-headed type, but he might have more Luca in him than I first suspected. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Huh, you think so? Oh, say, can you bring tea for three to my room later? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Very well. I'll brew something excellent with the herbs we're picking. <br /> <br /> <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...This herbal tea was made with the rosemary from your garden, yes? I can taste and smell the quality of the herb, as well as the care and skill that went into tending the garden. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hahaha! Yeah, we're pretty amazing. <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Again, why are YOU bragging about this? Nevertheless...*sniff* Oh man, your aromatic smells sooo good, Sylas! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, your smelly dealies have always made me feel oddly relaxed. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Aromatics aren't just about enjoying the scent. The natural powers of plants often have a rejuvenating effect on tired bodies. However, I'd someday like to produce an aromatic that heals not only fatigue, but also the ravages of illne... Good heavens! Was that an explosion?! <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} Oh, don't worry about that. Happens all the time around here. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Probably Kleimann's lab going out of control again, or maybe one of Sinoa's experiments getting all 'splody. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} You have researchers here? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sure do. You're always walkin' into rooms filled with one egghead or another. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Research and a garden within the walls, and a jungle of rare plants without... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} How's that, buddy? You kinda did a weird mumble, trail-off thing there. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Luca, where is the lord of this castle now? The one called Euden. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} He's out exterminating fiends. Oughta be back soon, though. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Well, when he returns, I would very much like to make a request of him. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'm back, everyone! ...Oh, hello, Luca. Er, did you need something? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sorry to jump on you the second you walk across the moat, but my buddy here needs to pick your brain for a few. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Hey, this is your childhood friend Sylas! I'm glad you came to see us. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} My thanks again for your recent help, Prince, but I fear I have a rather impudent request to foist upon you. May I stay here? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} You want to stay in the Halidom? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I have a scientific objective, you see. I aim to create a healing aromatic that cures illness as well as fatigue. To that end, I require a great number of components, including aromatic herbs, medicinal herbs, and various vegetable oils for compounding. I've been conducting my research in my village thus far, but have been unable to obtain all the components I require. However, your castle is surrounded by the Mistholt—which contains a trove of wild herbs—and your garden also boasts a rather exceptional bounty. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} In other words, the Halidom is the perfect environment for your research. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I don't mean to lodge here free of charge, of course. Poor though it may be, I shall offer the full extent of my aid in battle. So I implore you, please allow me to conduct my research here. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I, uh, implore you as well! I mean, this guy may not be as tough as me, but he's as skilled as they come. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} That's enough help from you, Luca. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Heh. Well, you've all convinced me—not that I needed a great deal of convincing. You're more than welcome here, Sylas. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I owe you my gratitude, Prince. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} And hey, if you need a science lackey to help out with the beakers or whatever, I'm your man! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Thank you, Luca. This may open new paths forward, and even save countless lives. &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode2Title=A Phantom Scent<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|The Prince}} Sylas, can you use this flower? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Yes, please collect that one as well. *sigh* I'm sorry for dragging you along just to pick plants. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Actually, it's kind of fun. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I appreciate you saying that, Prince. Luca, you ought follow your liege's example and work hard. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey! I AM working hard! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And yet, I recall a time long ago when you merely pretended to help while gathering mushrooms for use in some prank. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You mean back when we were kids and I came to stay in your village? Aaah ha ha! Yeah, I remember that. Good times. Say, speaking of the old days, how's your grandpa doin'? He was the one who taught you all about aromatic stuff, yeah? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I fear my grandfather fell victim to a grave illness and passed on some time ago. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh, man. Sorry to hear that. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It's all right. He lived a good... Hmm? <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Urgh... *sniffle* Wh-where am I? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} What's wrong, little girl? Are you all alone out here? <br /> {{ST|Girl}} I was picking flowers, and then... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Got lost, huh? Well, she's gotta be from one of the nearby villages, so let's figure out which one and get her home. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Everything's going to be all right. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} *sniff* Thanks, mister. I'll give you one of my yellow flowers. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Why, thank you. Is it your favorite kind? <br /> {{ST|Girl}} My gramma likes 'em, so I'm gonna bring her a whoooole bunch! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} That's a very kind thought, but walking around the woods alone is dangerous. From now on, you should only gather flowers with your gramma. All right? <br /> {{ST|Girl}} But she can't go out in the woods 'cause she's really sick. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} So were these flowers a get-well present, then? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} What is it, Sylas? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...Nothing. Let us see the child home. <br /> {{ST|Mother}} Oh, thank you so much for bringing my daughter home safe! <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} We only did what anyone would do. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Mama, I went to pick flowers for gramma! Did I get it right this time? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Er, get it right? <br /> {{ST|Mother}} My mother has a treasured memory of a field of yellow flowers. I fear it's made quite the impression on my daughter. She keeps bringing her all manner of yellow flowers, but can't seem to find the exact right ones. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} I know gramma will feel better if she sees her special flower! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And where exactly was this field located? <br /> {{ST|Mother}} Hmm. I believe she was traveling across the southern part of the continent... Maybe in a forest somewhere? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Yellow flowers in a forest to the south... (If that's true, the child will never find the flower she seeks in this climate.) <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} Uurgh... W-water... Please... <br /> {{ST|Mother}} I'm sorry, but my mother has awakened and I need to attend to her. <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Of course. We'll be going now. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Thanks for helping me, misters! Oh, and please come tell me if you find the flower my gramma likes, okay? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} We shall do so at once. <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''Later that night...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh man, I'm so hungry I can't even sleep! Think I'll just grab me some munchies from the ol' kitchen and... Um... Why is the light on in Sylas's room? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} All right, that's all the essential oils. Now to carefully begin compounding... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} This have something to do with that flower kid we met this afternoon? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Gya! Luca! Are your knuckles broken, or were you merely too rude to knock?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I did knock! A lot, actually. You were just so wrapped up in that kid's flower business you didn't notice. Make any progress? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} We don't have a lot to go on, but I would surmise the flower she seeks does not bloom in this area at all. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} So gramma won't get to see her flower? Man, that's rough. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Worry not; I have a plan that will let her experience it again all the same. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Well, so long as you're burnin' the midnight oil, you might as well take this. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} An apple? You know I prefer strawberries. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Don't push it, bud. This was all I could find in the pantry. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And yet you thought to sneak off with it! Honestly, you ARE a troublemaker. However, seeing as how I am a bit peckish, I will accept your offer. <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''The next day, Luca and Sylas once again pay a visit to the young girl's home.''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Oh! Did you find gramma's flower?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sorry, kid, but no dice. However, we DID bring somethin' else good... <br /> {{ST|Mother}} Mother? You have guests—and they've brought you a little surprise. <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} *cough* Whatever could it be...? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I know you seek a flower you once saw long ago, madam. Alas, though I tried, I fear I cannot provide that for you. However, I believe this aromatic could at least permit you to enjoy their scent. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} *sniff* Woooow! That smells goooood! <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} Oh my! This...this smell is... <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I had a rough idea of the flower you saw, and replicated its scent with an aromatic. How do you find it? <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} I can see exactly how the field looked that day... Even my husband is there! He asked for my hand in that field, and I gladly gave it to him. Oh ho ho! <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Yaaaay! Gramma smiled! <br /> {{ST|Mother}} It's been ages since I've seen my mother so lively and full of energy! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I am pleased to have brought her this small joy. And with that, we will be off. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Thanks, mister! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wow, Sylas. Your aromatics really helped that lady perk up. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And yet, while it may have given her the strength to face her illness for a short while, it cured nothing. I must finish my healing aromatic for that poor woman's sake! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, so what's the deal with this healing aromatic of yours anyway? Why are you so freakin' obsessed with it? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Because of my grandfather. He battled against his illness until his absolute final moment, and in doing so, suffered as no man should. Only the smell of my aromatics could grant him a moment's respite. That's when I started thinking about improving my craft. Think how much better it would be if my art could heal as well as soothe! Then no one would have to suffer as my grandfather did. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wow, man. That's some heavy stuff. But now that I've heard it, I'm gonna do whatever I can to see your dream become a reality! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Oh, this is no mere dream, Luca. It is an act I will absolutely accomplish. &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode3Title=Child's Play<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;{{ST|Sylas}} Rrrr! It's no use. I've tried and I've tried, but nothing produces the desired effect. How in blazes am I to create my healing aromatic? Does the problem lay in the materials? Or perhaps the ratios used during the compounding process? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, Sylas? We're having a fiend-slayin' meeting in the great hall. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} What if I were to add a medicinal herb that improves blood circulation? But no, that might cause side effects... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Uh, Sylas? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Tch! What am I to DO?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Knock knock! You got dirt in your ears or somethin'? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Cease your senseless prattling and stop interrupting me, you fool! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Uh, right. Well, we're having a meeting, and Euden wants you. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Ah. Apologies. I'll be along presently. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Man, he's really been on edge lately. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} He also dropped the ball a bunch during that fight the other day. <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''Laranoa: childhood friend of Luca and Sylas.''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> <br /> <br /> {{ST|Luca}} He must be impatient 'cause his research isn't goin' so hot. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Yeah, he's never exactly been good at &quot;chilling out.&quot; It's gotta be driving him mega-bonkers to run up against a problem he can't solve. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} That guy really is somethin' else. But on that note, I wanted to run an idea past you, Laranoa. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Funny you should say that, Luca; I've been thinking up an idea of my own. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Grrrrrr! Another failure! What is the cause, damn it?! Where have I gone wrong?! I'll never be able to create my healing aromatic at this rate! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sylas, we're goin' crayfishing! C'mon! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I beg your pardon? <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Remember how we used to compete to see which of us could haul in the biggest catch back in the day? Well, I was chattin' with Luca and got a sudden urge to try my luck again. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} C'mon, let's reclaim a little childish innocence and have some fun! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Did you ever actually LOSE any of your childishness? And in any case, I'm quite busy with my research at the moment. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Laranoa, go right! I'll grab from the left! <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Roger that, bud! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Remove your hands from me at once! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You're comin' to the lake with us, pal. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Hands off, I say! ...Urggaaaahh! <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} I'm bagging crayfish hand over fist! Nya ha ha! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} And you're the ONLY one catchin' any! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} *sigh* How did I get dragged into this? I haven't the time to be wasting fishing, and yet here I sit... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Whoa, Sylas! Pull your line up! Gently, now! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Hmm? Oh, yes... Gently, then... Ah. I caught one. Even so, it's nothing worth celebrating. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Whoa, Sylas's crayfish is waaaay bigger than mine! That's awesome! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I suppose it is, now that you mention it. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Gah, crap! I'm dead last here! Hey, wait... I got a bite! Nice! Now I'm just gonna... AAAAGH! <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Nyaaaa ha ha! It totally pinched your finger! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Honestly, what ARE you doing? ...Heh. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Man, Sylas caught the biggest crayfish, which makes me Queen Loser. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Are you satisfied now? Might I finally return to my research? <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Heeeey, look what the dragon dragged in! Say, now that you're here, what say all of us play a little game? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} The prince is in on this too, now? *sigh* What manner of game? <br /> {{ST|The Prince}} While you all were out fishing, we hid a treasure somewhere in the castle. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} And it's a DOOZY, so the three of you need to work together and hunt it down! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} But...my research. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, you can't just run off after all the trouble they went to setting this up. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Only a super-jerk would just toss all their planning aside like that. <br /> {{ST|Notte}} Yeah, I worked SUPER hard to hide it, so you better make with the searching! Chop chop, bub! Get on it! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} *sigh* Very well. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Then a'treasure huntin' we will go! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, THERE'S that darn chest! Finally! Now to crack it open and see the sweet, sweet riches contained withi.... Huh? It's just a piece of paper. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} There are a bunch of random letters and numbers on this thing. Unless... Oh, WAIT! It's a CODE! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Oh man, I am NOT good at stuff like this. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} This cypher could not be more insipid. Just let me... Yes, there we have it. It tells us to &quot;go to the kitchen.&quot; <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Holy snot, you solved it ALREADY?! You really are way smarter than ol' Luca over here. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I must have missed the part where you solved the code and didn't tell us. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Can we please just go to the kitchen? I grow weary of this nonsense. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} This treasure chest better actually have some treasure in it, I tell you what. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I'm opening it! What the?! Smoke's coming out! WAAAAA-CHOOO! <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Oh no! It's one of your sneezebombs! WAAAAA-CHOOOO! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I fell for one'a my own traps! WAAAAA-CHOOOO! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Good thing I was standing over here out of distance from the smoke. I must say, though, the two of you made quite the faces while sneezing. Ha! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, is this guy LAUGHING at us?! Laranoa, you know what to do! <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} I sure do! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Wh-what do you think you're doing?! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I think there's enough smoke left for ALL of us to enjoy this little party! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} What?! Stop! Unhand me! Don't bring me near that smo...smo... WAAAAA-CHOO! <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''And so, the three friends zipped around the castle, getting stumped by secret codes and tricked by traps. Until finally...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Okay, I think we've cracked it for real. According to that last code, the treasure should be right here in Sylas's room. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Seeing as how I solved every clue, I'm not certain your &quot;we&quot; is accurate. Still, why is the treasure in MY room? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} We'll never know until we lift the lid and do the whole &quot;Da da da daaaaa!&quot; thing, so let's get to it! ...Hnnnnngh! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Hmm... There is a potion for alleviating fatigue, a poultice for stiff shoulders, and a cushion to reduce back strain. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Stress-relieving goodies up the wazoo! You need any of this, Luca? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Pffft! I'm bursting with energy all the time! Someone who works hard and gets bushed should take all this stuff. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} I'm full of pep and vinegar myself, so I gueeeeess that means... <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} You can both dispense with the act. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Dammit! ...He caught us. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It could not have been more obvious. Did the two of you plan this whole thing? <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Okay, so we didn't know where the treasure was—that search was legit. But we did know WHAT it was. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Do I really seem so tired that you tried to trick me into accepting these baubles? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} SEEM tired? You've been dead on your feet almost since you got here! And when that happens, it's up to your friends to give you a sensible gift. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I'd like to tell you it's none of your business, but I suppose I have been rather at the end of my rope. And today's adventure—no matter how absurd—seems to have lifted the fog from my mind a little. So please allow me to express my gratitude. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sounds like Operation Sylas Chill Pill was a rousing success. <br /> {{ST|Laranoa}} Oh, but we have only BEGUN to fun! C'mon, what's next? Hide-and-seek? Tag? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} There is no need for further chicanery. Also, in the future, you don't need to worry yourselves unduly about me. ...Heh. &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode4Title=Looking Back<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; ''After a physician informs Sylas and Luca about a particular type of medicinal herb, they find themselves climbing a tall mountain in search of it.''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, this one's GOTTA be it. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And if it reacts as we were told it does, I should finally be able to finish my healing aromatic! I thought myself well-versed in wild herbs and the like, but here we are finding one I wasn't even aware of. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Then let's snatch it up and beat feet home. <br /> {{ST|Fiend}} Graaarruugh! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Luca, watch out! Fiends! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Gaaaaaah! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} How dare you! Haaaaah! Luca, are you all right?! Here, let me administer treatment for that wound. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Can't believe I let a chump sneak up on me like tha—YEEEOOOOWWCH! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} This wound is much deeper than I thought. And we'll surely lose the sun should we attempt to go back down the mountain while you're injured like this. We'll just have to make camp here and wait for morning. Here, I found water at a nearby spring. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Thanks, pal. ...Ow. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} If your wound pains you, I suggest rest. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Love to, but I'm way too worked up to hit the hay right now. How's about we talk about old times until I finally nod off? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Yes, that sounds agreeable. What should we talk about? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} How about that time you entered an archery competition with me and Laranoa and ended up all teary-eyed? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Next. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay, how about when the three of us went into that dark cave and you were basically on the verge of tears the entire time? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Also no. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Well then, how about when you and me and Laranoa met? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I find that acceptable. Let me see... Goodness, how long ago was that? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I know we were about half as tall as we are now. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And I think it was the first time either of us attended the Vernal Banquet. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I slipped off when my mom wasn't looking to check out festival stuff on my own. And that's when I met Laranoa! She'd given her folks the slip, too. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I, however, had become accidentally separated from my parents and had no idea what to do with myself. But then you and Laranoa found me and decided to help. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I think we just played for a few hours until our parents finally tracked us down. Man, were they ever sore... Anyway, that's what started our friendship! Every year, we'd meet up at the banquet to play and come up with pranks or whatever. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} The pranks were only because you two troublemakers tempted me into it. But in time, I became busy with my research and I was no longer able to leave the village. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} And with Laranoa working on becoming the next chief, the three of us weren't able to hang together anymore. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And just when I thought that would be the end of our relationship, here we find ourselves huddled around a fire. It has been quite the fellowship. *sniff* <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Hey, are you tearing up? Ha ha! I guess some things never change. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...It's time for you to sleep. I shall keep watch. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Well, I'm actually getting tired, so I think I'll take you up on that. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Honestly. ...Heh. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Urgh... Urrrrrgh! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Oh dear, I fear I fell asleep on my watch. Seems there's still some time left until daybreak, so I'll just... Huh? Luca, your wound! It's worse! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I-it's nothin' I can't... Urk! Gaaah! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It is NOT nothing—you're also running an incredibly high fever! I don't have the medicine to treat this; we have to get you down the mountain. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Just...leave me. Save yourself. We'll both end up dead if you try to drag me all the way down this thing. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I will do no such thing. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} C'mon, a guy as smart as you has gotta know the score. Just get out of here and leave me for the worms already. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} This is uncharacteristically weak-willed of you to say that. Nevertheless, the answer is still a very firm &quot;no.&quot; You took command the day we met and dragged me into your life. Now it is MY turn to do the dragging! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} But Sylas, you're...not strong... <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I am no longer the child you seem to think I am. Now be quiet already! <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''Early morning, in the village at the foot of the mountains...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Resident}} *yawn* Huh? Who's knockin' on m'door at this fool hour? ...Huh?! Land sakes, you can barely stand! Who are you?! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} *wheeze* P-please... My companion... needs medical treatment... <br /> {{ST|Resident}} Sweet mother of mercy, lookit that wound! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Please send word to the Halidom as soon as you can... <br /> {{ST|Resident}} I'm on it, pal! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} You see, Luca...? I'm...no longer the child you think I am... <br /> {{ST|Resident}} Hey! You all right, kid? I brought the doc! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Urgh... Wh-where am I? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Thank heavens you're awake, Sylas. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} C-Cleo? Am I back at the castle? Did you heal me? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Thankfully, yes. One of the villagers came to us just in time. The rest looked after you until we arrived. Perhaps you should thank them? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Indeed. But what of Luca? <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Er, about that... <br /> {{ST|Sarisse}} You bonehead! Injured people should shut up and ACT like injured people! Hiiii-ya! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Gaaah! Sarisse, it ain't fair to attack the wounded! <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} His wound was grave, but after I applied healing magic, he recovered all of his strength and then some. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Heh. I see. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} What's up, sleepyhead? Awake at last? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} You look fit to pass back out yourself after those hits from Sarisse. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Yeah, let's just leave that one alone. Anyway, I think you forgot somethin'. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} The herbs from the mountain... I tossed everything I was carrying in order to move you. Did you pick these up? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You need 'em for your healing aromatic, yeah? I had to make sure they got home. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Thank you, Luca. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} I should be the one thanking you. I take it you'll be gettin' back to your research the second you're recovered? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} And I take it you'll be assisting me? <br /> {{ST|Luca}} 'Course I will! We're gonna crack this nut if it's the last thing I do! &lt;/div&gt; <br /> |episode5Title=Onwards, Undeterred<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; ''Sylas aims to crack the secret of a healing aromatic that can also cure any illness. And one day, at long last...''&lt;/center&gt; <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} *pant* *pant* There you are, Luca! You must listen to me! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Whoa! Why are you so out of breath? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I've done it! I've finally done it! I've created my healing aromatic! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Wait, seriously? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It finally came together a short while ago thanks to those herbs we picked. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ha ha! That's awesome, Sylas! You're gonna save tons of lives! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} It is a bit soon to go that far. While it is done in theory, there is still an extended period of trials to run through. Before it can reliably cure illnesses, I must subject it to a battery of tests to ensure the effects are both reproducible and based on sound science. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Sylas? You have a guest. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I'm not expecting anyone... Ah! It's the girl that was lost in the woods. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Mister, you gotta help my gramma! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Did somethin' happen? <br /> {{ST|Girl}} She's sick and getting sicker, and she's hurting real bad! She's been groaning a bunch, and I'm worried she's going... Going to... Waaaaaah! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} If she's that far gone, I'm not certain there is anything I can do for her. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Why not go see her and bring your new healing aromatic? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I told you, I've yet to confirm its efficacy— to say nothing of any unforeseen side effects that might occur. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} But there's no guarantee it WON'T work. Plus, if what this kid is saying is true, it probably can't hurt to try. Better to try and fail in a case like this than to just stand around and not do anything at all. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} But if it doesn't work... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Tsk! You still get hesitant when things get down to the nitty-gritty, don't you? Why'd you bother doing all this work if you aren't even going to use it? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Why did I bother...? I did this so I could cure people who suffer in the way my grandfather did. And to make sure no one would have to face the same sadness I felt. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Then forget all this hesitation and just DO something already! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I see. For all my worry of sadness, a crying little girl stands before me. Come, Luca! We must make haste! How are you feeling, ma'am? <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} That wonderful scent made my breath come a bit easier. <br /> {{ST|Mother}} I'm stunned. The village healer told us she'd probably be gone by now. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Does it hurt anymore, Gramma? <br /> {{ST|Grandmother}} You don't need to worry, child. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sylas, your healing aromatic worked! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} The effects do seem to be more reliable than I allowed myself to hope... In theory, if she smells the aromatic daily, it should eventually cure her illness. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Gramma, did you hear that? You'll be able to go outside! <br /> {{ST|Mother}} I don't know how to repay you. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Aw, don't worry about it. Helpin' folks is just what we do. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I see you're again taking credit for the hard work of others, Luca. ...Heh. I've brought a quantity of aromatic oil. If you run low, please come to the castle for more at any time. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Thanks, mister! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Your grandfather would be proud of you. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I hope so.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''That night, the two friends held a modest celebration to honor Sylas's research.''&lt;/center&gt; A few days later... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} What're you researchin' now, bud? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I'm trying to broaden the range of scents in my healing aromatic. I'd like for a person to select the scent they like best—citrus, floral, or so on. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} You really mean business with this. <br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Sylas? That young girl is back, and she's brought her mother. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} They must be low on aromatic oil. I'll be out straightaway. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Misters... <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Thank you for waiting. I have more oil right here. <br /> {{ST|Mother}} No, that's all right. My mother... Well, she's passed. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} What?! But how could...? <br /> {{ST|Mother}} Your medicine gave her the strength to go outside and play with my daughter one final time, and I will never be able to thank you sufficiently for this. However, a few days ago, we discovered that she had passed on in her sleep. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I...I couldn't save her. <br /> {{ST|Mother}} You mustn't think of it like that, sir. Thanks to your medicine, my mother's final days were ones of great tranquility. Without you, they would have been agony. That's why we came here to thank you. We are truly grateful for your kindness. <br /> {{ST|Girl}} Here, mister. I picked you this flower with my gramma. She really liked being able to go outside with me like we used to do. It was great! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I see... ...... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Can't sleep either, Sylas? <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} No. As soon as I close my eyes, that girl's face floats into my mind. She seemed so smiling and accepting, and yet also so very lonely. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Sylas, you know your aromatic was a success, right? It's because of you that the girl and her gramma got to spend a few happy hours together in the end. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} If you're trying to comfort me, you can save your words. I will not lose heart over this. <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Good. Then take that attitude and keep plugging away at your work. ...But hey, Sylas? If you're gonna throw yourself into whatever's next...just don't overdo it. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} ...... <br /> {{ST|Luca}} C'mon, spit it out. Lemme hear how you're really feeling. If you don't, you're gonna end up overdoing it like before. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} What I really think? I think I regret how I was unable to save that woman. I did not wish her granddaughter to suffer, even if that suffering was lessened. Furthermore, I also wished to help my grandfather, and mourn his loss even now. *sniff* I told myself I was done crying after he passed, and yet look at me now. I still can't save the people I want to save. I can't stand it! I feel pathetic! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Okay. It's true you still haven't completed your goal. So take this moment to swear what you're gonna do. I'll be your witness. <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} I...I will create an aromatic that can heal people! And that is no mere dream—it is an act I will absolutely accomplish! <br /> {{ST|Luca}} Ha ha! That's the spirit! And if things ever get you down, I'll be right here to keep cheerin' you on. So chin up, chum! <br /> {{ST|Sylas}} Indeed. Right here, in this castle, I will find a way to save everyone! &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}</div>
