Dialogue

Please be all right... How does he move so fast through all this brush? Gotta hand it to the sylvans: they know how to make nature work for 'em.

Right, Cleo?

*pant* *pant* Don't talk to me... right now...

How I loathe exercise...

I see some buildings ahead... That must be the village.

Myriage Lake -The Village of Woodhaven-

*gasp* By the goddess... What did Emile do...? No! I'm too late! Ah, this is all my fault... Everything has been laid to ruin. I've never seen anything so terrible. But I don't see any bodies, which means the people here may have escaped. Is anyone out there? Sarisse? ...Someone answer me!

The company wastes no time in searching for survivors. But the village is completely deserted. They find no one at all—dead or alive.

This is just weird. Where is everyone?

Were they all taken or somethin'?

There's no blood, nor signs of a struggle.

I can think of but one possibility...

Wait! Someone's coming! Hide! Let go of me, you pompous jerk! Not until you tell me where the villagers have hidden, you animal! I don't know! And even if I did, I'd never tell you! Now take THIS! Ow! ...You DARE strike a prince?

G-get her away from me!

Yes yes, of COURSE, Prince Emile. Please do calm yourself.

Remember that our objective is to capture the prince and his retinue of traitors. Pay these animals no mind. They belong in cages. You there! Lock her in the carriage!

Yes, sir! Ah! Get your hands off me! That's Sarisse! You know her? She's my little sister.

She might know where the others are. We have to help her!

We will. Come on!
