Summary
Some manner of disaster has befallen the captive Sylvia, which has the prince and Melsa concerned for her welfare. Suddenly, a powerful for called a Storm Sentinel appears. Hoping to reach the village quickly, the party decides to battle it head-on.
Dialogue
Look, I wont deny that she's got some serious bow skills, but she also has a long way to go in the whole fighting department. For example, she's way too focused on what's in front of her. So if someone were to hit her with a surprise atta—
I mean, yeah, she's a little timid, but a little of that'll keep ya alove longer.
But maybe be happy about it, yeah? She's all grown up now!
Still... I guess it's nice she managed to make a friend. Good for her.
It's not far to my village now. Please follow me.
Without stopping for rest, Melsa and the rest of the group soldier on. Before long, the group draws near a clearing associated with Sylvia
Sylvia loves nature — she's an incredibly gentle dragon. I used to recline against her and gaze up at the clouds as they rolled past. Ah, how I miss those times... It is a relief that the Empire did not manage to occupy this area. But enough woolgathering. I must continue guiding all to the villa—
However, we've not the time left to continue bandying words. Hear me, Melsa. Hear me well... You must not attempt to rescue me.
Please... you must take Melsa and flee this place... Before it is too late...
SYLVIA!
We should learn said pattern, find an opening, and slip through when we can.
We don't have time to sneak about or memorize routes — we have to get to the village and save Sylvia now!
But hey, if my bestie is for it, then I am too! Let's do this thing!
All right, everyone. Get ready.
