Version 1.0:
First version. Have the first disc finished. There is a few lines I missed
along the way. Only a few though.. during those times when they say something
with no pause inbetween...
=======
Opening
=======
Old Man: You're up early.
Girl: I couldn't sleep very well.
Old Man: Have you packed?
Old Man: Are you ready for your voyage?
Girl: I'm packed and ready to go.
Old Man: Please be careful.
Girl: I will... but I must succeed.
Old Man: I understand... Good luck.
Girl: Thank you! It's time for me to go.
[Girl gets in object and it takes off.]
Old Man: Ah...
Old Man: We are in grave trouble...
Old Man: Please be safe...
[Shows the object taking off and soaring through the sky. Then it switches to a
scene of somebody walking.]
Reid: Hmm?
[Reid continues walking and comes to a wooden watch tower where somebody is.]
Reid: Huh? Is that...
Farah: Reid!!!
Reid: ...Farah?
[Reid climbs up the tower.]
Farah: Hey! Long time no see! How's it going? Did your hunt go well?
Reid: I just took what I need for today. Nothing hard about that.
Farah: Wow! I have to admit it. You sure are handy with your sword.
Reid: Farah, it sure is a surprise to see you here.
Farah: Yeah. Lately I've been busy in the fields. Reid, do you still come here
every day?
Reid: Yeah.
Farah: You've liked this place, ever since we were small.
Reid: ...So what's up today? Playing hooky?
Farah: Of course not! There's something different about the sky, so I came to
take a look.
Reid: The sky?
[They both start looking at the sky.]
Farah: Don't the colors look different?
Reid: ...Do they? Can't say I've noticed.
Farah: It's definitely weird!! I think something's going to happen...
Reid: Yeah, like what?
Farah: I don't know...! Maybe something is about to come falling from
Celestia?!
Reid: Don't sound so thrilled. Anything coming from there is bound to be bad
news.
Farah: How would you know? There hasn't been contact between our worlds for
2000 years.
Reid: ANYWAY! Life is meant to be simple. When things stay the way they are,
THAT'S true happiness.
Farah: Here we go again! Reid's philosophy! You never change.
Reid: Oh yeah? Well maybe I'm just that way cause of all the trouble that a
certain somebody caused!
Reid: ...Farah?
Farah: Hey, over there!
Farah: What's that?!
Reid: Uh-oh!
Reid: Farah run!
Farah: Reid!
[Something crashes into the area the two were conversing in.]
Reid: ...Whew! Farah, you okay?
Farah: Yeah, I'm okay! But something came down, didn't it? I'm gonna have a
look!
[Farah walks off.]
Reid: Hey, Farah! Wait! It's too dangerous!!
Reid: ...Argh! She's always like this!
[Reid comes upon a strange creature.]
Creature: Kuweeekeee!!
Reid: Huh? What are you? You're a peculiar looking thing...
Creature: Kwekee!
Reid: You want me to follow, is that it?
[Creature runs off.]
[Reid comes upon Farah who is kneeling by a girl and the strange creature.]
Reid: Farah!
Farah: Reid? Over here!
[Reid walks over to them.]
Reid: What... is this?
Reid: Who's... that?
[Girl starts to speak in some foreign language.]
Reid: ...What?
Farah: I can't understand a single word. What do we do?
[Girl stands up and starts talking again.]
Farah: Um... I... er... aah...
[Object near by starts to fizzle and make strange noises.]
Reid: A... anyway, it's dangerous here. Let's get her out of here.
Farah: Why?
Reid: Because!
[They all run off and the thing explodes.]
Reid: Ouuccch. Farah, you okay?
Farah: Yeah, I'm fine. What about her?
[Girl sits up and something glows between her and Reid.]
Reid: What is this? This... rainbow light?
Girl: Feeebreee!!
[Girl pushes herself right close to Reid and it glows again.]
Creature: Ku... ku... kwee... kwekeee!
Reid: Ow! Ow!!
[Girl starts to speak in some strange language again.]
Reid: I... I got it, I got it. Can you let go of me now?
[Girl lets go of Reid.]
Farah: Hmmm... We don't know who she is, but one thing's for sure.
Reid: And what would that be?
Farah: She likes you.
Reid: D... don't be stupid. That's silly! She wants help... from BOTH OF US!
[Girl speaks in strange language. Farah looks the girl over.]
Farah: Help? Oh, I see! We can't understand her, but we sure can help!!!
Reid: How?
Farah: Hmmm, I wonder...
==========================
Far Away Village, Rasheans
==========================
**Elder's House**
Farah: And so that's what happened. We wanted to ask for you advice...
Khamran: ...We'll search the site of the explosion immediately. It might still
be dangerous.
Farah: Right! And umm... What about her...?
Khamran: She must be cast out.
Khamran: It might seem cruel, but it is my duty to protect this village.
Farah: That's no excuse! You're saying we just turn our backs on a girl in
trouble?
Reid: Farah!
Khamran: Look at the color of her skin. Strange clothes, unintelligible
speech... She could be the seed of disaster!
[Reid and Farah turn around and look at the girl.]
Creature: Kuwekee!!!
[The creature walks a few steps and stars looking at the wall.]
Reid: Huh? ...What's wrong?
[They all walk over to where the creature is standing and somebody breaks
through the wall.]
Khamran: Wh... what's going on?!
[The girl and the person who busted through the wall, start conversing in some
strange language. He then knocks the girl down.]
Farah: Aaah!
Reid: Stop!
[The person says something in the strange language and a battle ensues. After
the battle, the person says something again and runs off.]
Reid: What was that?
Farah: Are you okay?!
[Girl says something in the strange language.]
Farah: That man... Was he after her?
Reid: It didn't look like a father greeting his lost child, that's for sure.
Khamran: Ugh...
Farah: Ah... Elder! Are you all right?
[Everybody walks over to where Khamran is.]
Farah: ...Are you all right?
Khamran: You two... again?
Khamran: Are you two bringing disaster upon us...?! ...Just like before?!
Farah: You're wrong!
Reid: Elder! This has nothing to do with back then!
Khamran: Cast the girl out! Banish her!
Farah: ...I understand. We'll do as you order.
Farah: However...!
Farah: I'm going with her as well.
Khamran: ...Do as you wish.
Farah: Goodbye!
[Farah, the girl and the strange creature walk out the door.]
Reid: H...hey!
**Farah's House**
Farah: Thanks for waiting. Tada!
[Girl walks in from other room and says something in the strange language.]
Farah: She's wearing my old clothes. Whaddya think? Now when we leave the
village, we won't attract attention.
[The girl runs over to Reid and says something. Farah walks off into the other
room.]
Reid: Do you really plan to leave the village?
Farah: Yeah! I've decided! First, I need to find someone who can understand
her.
Reid: ...Any ideas?
Farah: Ummm... Ah, got one! How about Keele?
Reid: Keele? By Keele, you mean that crybaby good-for-nothing Keele Zeibel?
Farah: That was when he was small! He's become a student at Mintche University!
Farah: Aren't the students there well respected? He might be able to understand
her!!
Reid: But it's Keele we're talking about. I wonder...
[Farah runs in from the other room.]
Farah: No problem! It's decided! Our destination is the Town of Academia,
Mintche!
Farah: Well, let's go! My little lost bird.
[The girl runs over to Reid and something starts glowing again. She says
something as well.]
Farah: Umm... We need to leave now.
Farah: We... leave... this village. But he stays here... Understand?
Girl: Feebureel! Feebureel!
[The girl grabs onto Reid and something glows again.]
Reid: Ow ow ow!
Reid: ...My name isn't Feebureel.
Farah: Hmmm... what now?
Farah: Reid, what do we do? It looks like she wants to stay with you.
Reid: What do you mean, what do we do?
Farah: Well, she needs to leave the village, but she doesn't want to be
seperated from you... That's all I'm saying!
Reid: ...Just as I thought.
Reid: I knew this would happen. I had a bad feeling all along.
Farah: Here we go again.
Farah: It isn't that bad being needed by such a cute girl, is it?
Reid: ...Whatever. Don't forget that it's dangerous out there. We'll need to be
well prepared.
Farah: Right!
**Village exit**
Farah: It's finally here... ...the day we leave the village.
Reid: Don't sound so happy about it. Mintche is far to the south. We've got
some distance to cover.
Farah: No problem! Especially with your help... Right?
Reid: Whatever...
Farah: Let's go!!
==================
World Map - Bridge
==================
Farah: Hey, you know... We haven't introduced ourselves yet.
Reid: It's too bad we can't communicate.
Farah: My name is Farah. Understand? Farah... Farah.
Girl: [says something in a strange language] Farah?
Farah: yes, Farah! And this is Reid. Reid... Reid.
[Girl says something in a strange language.]
Reid: It's Reid... Reid!
Girl: Reid!
Farah: Yeah! She said it! She said it!!
Girl: Meredy, Meredy, Meredy!
Farah: Meredy?
[Girl says something in a strange language.]
Meredy: Kuweeeky... kuweeeky... Kuweeeky!
Reid: I guess its name is Quickie, huh.
Quickie: Kuweeekeee!
Reid: Well, that's an easy name.
Farah: Hey! This is working fine!!
Farah: Understanding Meredy might be a lot easier than I thought. Maybe we
won't have to go to Mintche!
[Meredy says something in a strange language.]
Farah: ...Guess we'd better go see Keele after all.
Reid: Good idea.
===================
Rasheans River Pier
===================
[Farah approaches a bunch of people moving rocks and hammering away.]
Farah: Excuse me. Could you tell us how to get to Mintche?
Worker: You have to take this road to get to Mintche, but as you can see,
there's been a landslide...
[Reid, Meredy and Quickie walk in.]
Reid: There isn't much we can do, Farah. Let's just rest here for today.
[Meredy says something in a strange language.]
Farah: Even if the path is a little rough, it's not impossible to travel
across, is it? We'll give it a try!
Worker: B... but...
Farah: Let's go!
Reid: Hey, Farah! Hang on a second!!
Farah: No problem!
Farah: It might be a bit rugged, but we can do it!
[A landslide happens. Meredy says something that isn't understandable.]
Worker: There it goes again...
Worker: I wonder what's happening to the Orbus Barrier...?
Farah: Ummm... Maybe this is... ...a little dangerous...
Reid: What did I tell you?!
Worker: If you're in a hurry, why don't you try our Dojo? The Master might know
a different way to get to Mintche.
Farah: Really?!
Worker: Yes. The Dojo is only a little ways back from here.
Farah: Regulus Dojo? I know where it is. I used to be a student there.
Worker: Oh, is that right?! Well, take care...
Farah: Thanks for helping us! Okay, let's go!
[The party walks off.]
Worker: A cute girl like her... ...a martial artist?
Worker: I wonder if she's strong?
Paollo: Sh... she's really strong! She's an amazing girl...
[The group is walking then stops and starts to converse.]
Farah: This girl... Who exactly is she?
Reid: Strange-colored hair. Clothes I've never seen. And a weird stone on her
forehead.
Reid: ...Maybe a traveling performer?
[Meredy earns the title of 'Traveling Performer?']
Farah: Ummm, ahhh... Meredy, where did you come from? Why did you come here?
[Meredy says something that they can't understand.]
Farah: Well... If we can't understand her, we'll never get anywhere.
Meredy: Reid...
[Meredy grabs onto Reid and something glows.]
Meredy: Feebureel... feebureel!
Reid: Ow ow ow!
Reid: What's this light? What's a feebureel?
Farah: I don't know, but it's obvious she wants your help.
Reid: Is she afraid that the one who attacked us will return?
Farah: Maybe...
Reid: Well... No point in worrying. We'll let Keele figure it out.
Farah: I guess so. It's been so long since we saw Keele! I bet he's bcome a
great scholar!
Reid: I wonder...
============
Regulus Dojo
============
Farah: This place hasn't changed at all.
Reid: Weren't you a student here not long ago? Of course it hasn't changed.
Reid: So this is the Great Dojo.
Farah: Let's go in.
Quickie: Kwekeee, kwek kwek, kwekeee!!!
[Meredy says something that isn't understandable.]
Farah: Wh... what's wrong?
Reid: Maybe it's hungry.
Farah: We'll eat after we see my teacher, okay?
[The group enters the Dojo.]
Reid: Excuse me. Anybody...
[Eight people jump down and surround Reid.]
Reid: Whoa!
Farah: Reid!
People surrounding Reid: Surrender!!
[Battle takes place. After the battle Franco comes in the room.]
Franco: Ho ho ho... enough! That was quite impressive!
[The people that attacked Reid get up and leave.]
Reid: What... what?
Franco: You have great skills for one so young. The decision has been made.
Welcome to our dojo!
Reid: J... just wait a second. I don't want to join any dojo.
Franco: Then why did you fight?
Reid: I was just defending myself!
[Farah hits Reid.]
Farah: It's been so long, Master Franco!
Franco: Ahhh, Farah!
Franco: What brings you here? Do you wish to train with us again?
Farah: Well... no. Actually, we wish to go to Mintche as soon as possible.
Farah: But the path has been blocked by a rockslide, so...
Franco: So that is your reason...
Farah: Yes... one of many.
Franco: ...Very well. Let us talk in my room.
Franco: And you young man, what is your name?
Reid: Me? ...Reid Hershel.
Franco: Ahem... Reid. Perhaps you wish to join my dojo?
Reid: Well, actually, I...
Franco: No need to hurry. Join us after your business is settled.
Reid: Well, I'm really not interested.
Franco: I see...
Franco: Ahem... right.
[Franco exits the room.]
Franco: Let us talk in my room.
**Franco's Room**
Farah: Ah, she is... Umm...
Franco: Hmm. I know you not, but your eyes do not lie. Follow your heart's
path. That is best.
Farah: ...Yes!
Franco: Hmm. And Reid...
Franco: Your swordplay is quite impressive. Where did you learn it?
Reid: Where? Well, I just go out and hunt every day for food, that's all...
[Paollo comes barging in.]
Paollo: E... excuse me!
Franco: Ah, Paollo. I'd like you to use your Craymel Artes to help them get to
Mintche.
Franco: After all, you're the only one in this dojo who knows the Water Craymel
Artes.
Paollo: G... gladly!
Franco: Then I'll leave the rest to you. Now if you'll excuse me, it's time for
training.
Franco: If you want to learn more about fighting or wish to learn higher level
skills, go next door.
Farah: Thank you for everything.
Franco: Hmm... and Reid. Are you sure you don't want to join my dojo?
Franco: Uh... forget I mentioned it.
[Franco exits the room.]
Reid: So, what do we do now?
Paollo: W... w... w... well...
Paollo: W... will you come with me to the Craymel Artes training room? I need
to make preparations.
**Craymel Artes Training Room**
Paollo: The Rasheans River is a shortcut to Mintche.
Farah: But... isn't that river pretty rough?
Paollo: No problem. We can borrow the strengths of the Water Craymels.
Reid: Cray... mel?
Farah: Reid, don't tell me you don't know what a Craymel is?
Reid: I don't have interest in anything that doesn't fill my stomach.
Paollo: Craymels are not material beings. Fire, wind, water, light... They
reside within all things and have many manifestations.
Farah: And like Paollo, those who have the ability to control Craymels and
their phenomena are call Craymel Mages. Right?
Paollo: Uh, well... With a little training, anybody with a Craymel Cage can
learn...
Reid: Is that thing in your hand a Craymel Cage?
Paollo: Ye... yes. That's right.
Paollo: By sealing Craymels within this Craymel Crystal, you can perform
various Craymel Artes.
Reid: Ahh... I see. Just stick the Craymels in there...
Farah: ...Many ages ago, it is said there were many Craymel Cages and many knew
how to use Craymel Artes.
Reid: Wow...
Paollo: W... well then. I'll be waiting for you at Rasheans River Pier.
Paollo: Please come when you're ready.
===================
Rasheans River Pier
===================
Paollo: Are you ready?
Paollo: I will call on the Craymels to calm the waters of Rasheans River.
Paollo: While it's calm, take the raft down the river.
[Paollo says something that isn't understandable.]
Reid: Wow!
[Meredy says something that isn't understandable.]
Paollo: Y... y... yes?
Reid: P... please! Don't mind her.
Paollo: May Seyfert protect you along the way...
Farah: Thank you, Paollo. Good luck to you, too!
Paollo: Um... uh... thanks.
Farah: Paollo and I studied together at the dojo.
Paollo: You... remember me...!
[Paollo walks off.]
Farah: Well, let's go.
=========================
Town of Academia, Mintche
=========================
Farah: Mintche sure is a lively place!
[Meredy says something that isn't understandable.]
Reid: They all look the same to me...
Reid: How are we ever going to find Keele?
Farah: He's our childhood friend! We'll recognize him in an instant!
Farah: Hopefully...
Farah: Well, first...
Farah: ...Let's try Mintche University!
**Mintche University Entrance**
Reciptionist: Can I help you?
Reid: Um... ah...
Farah: Could you tell us where Keele Zeibel is, please? He should be a student
here.
Reciptionist: Pardon me, but what is your relationship with the student?
Reid: We're childhood fr...
Farah: We're his family!! Our father is sick, and we have to get in touch with
him right away...!
Reciptionist: Just a moment, please.
Reciptionist: ID Number 34604, Keele Zeibel. Light Craymel Department.
Farah: Light Craymel Department... Where is that?
[Meredy jumps on the counter and starts dancing.]
Reciptionist: Eeek!
Reid: Uh-oh!
Reciptionist: What do you think you're doing?!
Farah: Th... Thanks for everything!
[The group runs off.]
Farah: So this must be the Light Craymel Laboratory.
Farah: Wait, okay? We'll be right back.
[Meredy says something and dances.]
Farah: Let's go in.
[Reid and Farah enter the room.]
**Laboratory**
Reid: They look quite busy...
Farah: Let's look for someone who's willing to talk to us.
Farah: Um, excuse me. Do you know Keele Zeibel?
Student: Keele? Are you friends of his?
Farah: Yes! So you must know Keele!
Zank: My name is Zank. I'm a research assistant, just as he was.
Reid: And where is Keele now?
Zank: Well...
[Meredy comes in and stuff in the room starts to fizzle and whatnot.]
Reid: What's happening?
Farah: Meredy!
Quickie: Kweke, kwekeee!
[A big explosion happens.]
Farah: Meredy, did you do that?
[Meredy says something. Then the Dean comes running in.]
Zank: Oh, Dean Carlyle...
Carlyle: Are you responsible for this?!
Reid: Well, not exactly... You could say it was our fault, but, then again...
Carlyle: I don't want to hear any excuses! What are you going to do about this
damage?
Farah: Well, we... I don't know...
Carlyle: Zank! Show these outsiders to the exit! Kick them out of school
grounds!
Zank: Y... yes, sir.
[Zank and the group walk off.]
Zank: Don't worry about what the dean says. Carlyle has a short temper, but
he'll forget all about it soon...
Farah: I'm sorry.
Zank: Can I ask you a question? Was that the Melnics language she spoke?
[Meredy says something.]
Farah: The Melnics language?!
Zank: I'm sure of it! All of the Craymel Mage spells are in the same ancient
language she was using! I'm studying about it in school now.
Reid: Does that mean you can understand what Meredy says?
Zank: I'm afraid I can't...
Zank: Your average Craymel Mages shouldn't be able to speak such pure Melnics
language...
Zank: I... is she a...?!
Zank: Excuse me... I hope my question isn't rude, but might you be an Imperial
Craymel Mage?
Reid: An Imperial Craymel Mage? Her...?
Zank: But why would an Imperial Craymel Mage come here? Does she have some
connection with Keele?
Reid: Well, you see...
[Meredy gets excited and says something.]
Farah: Oh no! The Imperial Craymel Mage has divine messages for us!
Zank: Huh? What? Divine messages...?
Farah: We must find Keele now! Where do you suppose he is?
Zank: He's at the Mt. Mintche Observatory.
Farah: Mt. Mintche is the mountain southwest of Mintche, isn't it? Thank you!
[The group starts to walk off.]
Farah: Oops! I almost forgot...
[Farah runs up to Zank.]
Farah: Why isn't Keele at the university?
Zank: Oh, that's because he's been suspended from school...
Zank: He started shouting about the theory of World Chain Destruction, and
turned Carlyle and everyone else in the school against him.
Farah: World destruction...? Why would Keele think of such a thing?
Zank: Even if you do go find him, he might refuse to see you. He's even turned
me away a few times.
Farah: Anyway, we've got to meet him in person! Thanks for all your help.
[Farah walks back to the group.]
Farah: Thanks for waiting.
[Meredy says something.]
Reid: Her... an Imperial Craymel Mage? I can't imagine...
[Meredy earns the title of 'Craymel Mage?']
Farah: Well, it's certainly a big step forward for us to learn that she speaks
Melnics! No problem!
Farah: What we have to do now is head for Mt. Mintche Observatory to the
southwest from here!
=======================
Mt. Mintche Observatory
=======================
Reid: It looks like nobody is here.
Farah: HELLO!!
Farah: Keele!!
[Keele walks in.]
Keele: It's useless I tell you!!
Farah: Aaah!
Keele: Craymel movements are causing a buildup in the Grobule distortion field.
Keele: And if you're saying that the Orbus Wave has no relationship to the
Doctark Effect, you need to rethink the basics of Craymelology.
Farah: ...Keele?
Keele: Huh? You're not from Mintche University?
Farah: It's me, Farah Oersted! Farah, your childhood friend! It's been a long
time. How are you?
Keele: Farah...?
Farah: You've really grown! For a minute, I didn't recognize you.
Reid: Well, it's been 10 years. Of course he's changed.
Keele: Is that you, Reid?
Reid: Hey there.
Farah: Yippee! The old gang is back together again!!
[Meredy goes up to Keele and says something.]
Keele: Who's this?!
Farah: Her name is Meredy. We came to see you because we want to help her.
Reid: She only speaks Melnics. Can you help?
Keele: Melnics language? Who is she anyway?!
Reid: We don't know. That's why we're here.
Keele: Melnics language, huh... Okay!
[Keele leads Meredy to the next room.]
Farah: Keele has really made something of himself. I'm so proud of him...
Farah: Don't you think so too, Reid?
Reid: Let's catch up to them.
Farah: Umm, okay.
[In the next room, Keele is looking through a book and trying to communicate
with Meredy.]
Keele: <<My name... Keele Zeibel.>>
Keele: <<You... who?>>
[Meredy says something.]
Keele: Ah, ahem!
Keele: <<You... Who? Where?>>
[Meredy says something again.]
Keele: <<Come... from... Come from?>>
Reid: Hey, hey. Are you getting anywhere?
Keele: No... You can't be!!
Farah: You understood?! I knew you could do it!
Reid: What is it, Keele?
Keele: She said... She's from Celestia...
Farah: Celestia?!
Reid: Celestia?!
Farah: You mean she's from that world hanging in the sky upside down?!
Reid: Oh, come on, now! Meredy is a little weird, but she's obviously a regular
person...!
Farah: That's right! Celestians are supposed to be...
Keele: Volume 2, Chapter 2 of the Leonoa Encyclopedia says that Celestians are
a ferocious, man-eating race...
Farah: She couldn't possibly...
Keele: Well, true or not, that's what she said.
[Meredy looks at them and says something.]
Keele: What's that thing on her head? It looks like... a stone.
[Meredy says something and knocks Keele down.]
Keele: Ow!!
Farah: Keele!
Reid: I think I know what she just said. She just called you a pervert.
Quickie: Kwek... kwek!
Keele: Anyway... We have to find out what she wants.
Keele: Hmm... Oh, here it is.
Keele: <<Why Meredy come?>>
Keele: <<Why... come?>>
[Meredy says something.]
Keele: Um...
Reid: He's lost...
Farah: It's an ancient language. Even Keele can't get it all at once...
Keele: I... I can do it! This is no different than all the research that I've
done!
[Meredy says something and runs off into the next room. She looks at a map on
the wall.]
Keele: Yes, that's right! On the bottom is Inferia, and on the top is Celestia.
In the middle is the Orbus Barrier.
Keele: All of this collectively is called Eternia. This is the world we live
in.
Meredy: In-fe-ri-a!
Meredy: Ce-les-ti-a!
Meredy: Boom!!
Farah: An explosion?
Reid: ...No way.
Meredy: In-fe-ri-a!
Meredy: Ce-les-ti-a!
Meredy: Boom!!
Reid: Hey, Keele. Explain for us.
Keele: Come over here.
[They all walk over to the telescope.]
Keele: Look through here.
Reid: What does this have to do with anything?
Keele: Just look!
[Reid looks into it.]
Keele: Can you see the Orbus Barrier?
Reid: ...Yeah. So?
Keele: I'll enlarge it. Wait.
Reid: What's this?
Keele: The dark matter... It seems to be growing bigger by the day.
Farah: ...And that must be why the color of the sky is different.
Reid: So, what's that dark matter...?
Keele: A sign of world destruction.
Keele: It's possible that Meredy is here to warn us of the danger. We should
look into this further.
Reid: Look into it? How?
Keele: We've got to go see Professor Mazet.
Keele: He's an authority on the Melnics language. He left Mintche University,
and he's currently living in Morle Village.
Reid: You're kidding, right...?
Reid: Morle is on a whole different continent! This is getting ridiculous!
Farah: I'm going with Keele! I can't just ignore Meredy.
Meredy: Reid, [says something in Melnics.]
Keele: We're leaving! Are you ready?
Reid: Keele, you're not much of a traveler. Are you sure you're going to be
okay?
Keele: That was when I was a little kid! I... I'm fine, now!
Reid: We'll see...
Farah: Well, let's go!
Keele: Hmph!
Reid: This is going to be one long trip...
Farah: Don't worry! It'll work out somehow. No problem!
[Farah and Meredy walk out the door.]
Keele: Farah. To get to Morle, you have to go through Nostos Cave located to
the east of here.
[Keele exits.]
Reid: I dunno about this...
===========
Mt. Mintche
===========
Keele: W... wait...
Reid: What? Out of breath? Heh... as weak as ever.
Keele: Gimme a break! I've had insufficent sleep lately.
Farah: Why don't we camp here? We still have long ways to go...
[The group camps out. Meredy goes up to Keele and says something.]
Keele: Don't touch me!
Farah: Keele, you don't need to speak like that!
Keele: You can't be too careful around people you don't know.
Keele: But she could be useful. At the very least, I hope to build a solid
bridge of communication.
Reid: Useful?
Keele: Once I gather enough evidence about the dangers of dark matter, I can
return to Mintch University.
Keele: Better yet, I might even be invited to join the Royal Observatory of
Astronomy.
Reid: So the only reason why you're so cooperative is for you own benefit...
You've become quite the opportunist.
Keele: You've wrong! I'm simply searching for the truth. And for that, I need
the best environment possible!
[Meredy goes up to Keele and says something.]
Keele: Don't touch me!
[Keele shoves Meredy away.]
Reid: Is that a Craymel Cage? You have one, too?
Keele: D... don't be stupid! I'm not like those rogue Craymel students! Unlike
them, I've actually studied the Light Craymels.
Keele: Grobule distortion and Kaloric flow fundamentals suggest a practical
scientific application.
Keele: For instance...
Reid: I got it, I got it. You're something else!
Keele: Hmph.
Farah: No problem...?
===========
Nostos Cave
===========
**Entrance**
[Person comes walking out of the cave holding 2 eggs.]
Reid: Wow! Those eggs look good...
Person holding eggs: I won't sell these even for ten thousand Gald! Yes, even
that! They came at the cost of my partner's life...
Farah: What kind of eggs are those?
Person holding eggs: Egg Bear's. Egg Bear eggs fetch a high price as miracle
cures.
Person holding eggs: I got them from the mountain, but we were spotted by the
Egg Bear parents...
Reid: You weren't very lucky.
Person holding eggs: But my merchant spirit won't die here. For my partner, I
will earn, earn, and earn some more!
Merchant: ...Are you interested in anything besides Egg Bear eggs?
**Part way through the cave**
Keele: It seems that the tidal movement here is affected by time.
Farah: Hey, Keele. Are you okay? Should we camp?
Keele: N... no... I'll be fine...
Farah: Hee hee hee.
Farah: We've grown and learned to say complicated stuff. But when you get right
down to it, we never really change, do we?
Reid: You can say that again. Nothing at all.
[Switches to a flashback when Reid, Farah and Keele were little. Shows an Egg
Bear attacking the group.]
Keele: Waaahhh!
Farah: I'll fight you!
[The Egg Bear gets scared off.]
Farah: It's all right now, Keele.
Keele: Waaaahhh...
Farah: I said it's all right... Um, ah, waaaahhhh!
[Switches back to the cave.]
Farah: Well, at least it looks like he doesn't cry anymore.
[Keele starts to walk and trips.]
Farah: Keele! Are you all right?
Keele: Of... of course!
[Keele stands up.]
Reid: But his adolescent charm sure is gone...
**When the Egg Bear attacks**
Keele: An Egg Bear!!
Farah: Aaah!
Reid: Leave it to me! An Egg Bear should be an easy kill!!
**After the Egg Bear is defeated**
Keele: Huff... ha... hah. An... easy fight.
Reid: Then why do you look so tired?
Farah: Why don't we camp here?
Reid: ...Yeah. I'm starved!
Keele: What are you doing?
Reid: Huh? I'm making jerky. If you dry Egg Bear meat, it makes good emergency
rations.
Keele: I'm afraid I can't agree. Over time, Eggbear meat undergoes a chemical
transformation and loses much of its nutrients.
Reid: What're you talking about, Keele? You've never even eaten it!
Keele: I don't need to eat it to know. It's explained in the detail in Volume
3, Chapter 21 of the Leonoa Encyclopedia.
Reid: Humph! I don't care what it says. I eat it all the time and I know I'm
right!
Farah: Boys! Calm down. Does it matter either way?
Reid: Keele, don't even think I'm sharing this with you!
Keele: Fine. I could care less.
Farah: ...Boys will be boys.
======================
Treetop Village, Morle
======================
Keele: This is certain to be it. The domicile of Professor Mazet.
Reid: ...How long has it been since you've seen this professor of yours?
Keele: About three years.
Reid: Why does he have to live way out here like this?
Keele: I'm not certain. But if I know the Professor, I'll bet he's got some
sort of good reason.
**Mazet's House**
Keele: Professor Mazet!
Mazet: Why, if it isn't Keele!
Keele: How have you been? I've come with a favor to ask of you!
Mazet: Calm down, now...!
Mazet: You haven't changed at all, Keele! Whenever you discovered something
new, you never could contain your excitement.
Reid: Heh, heh. He knows you pretty well.
Farah: Leave it to the professor!
Keele: I... I apologize for my rudeness. Ummm... have you been well?
Mazet: Ha ha ha! That's quite all right. So tell me what brings you here.
Keele: Thank you! Well, the reason why...
[Meredy says something in Melnics.]
Mazet: I see... So she says she's a Celestian?
Keele: Of course, I don't believe everything she says...
Keele: But I would like your advice on how we may be able to communicate with
her.
[Mazet grabs something from a drawer.]
Mazet: I would like all of you to have one of these.
[Mazet gives each person in the group one of the earrings.]
Farah: They're pretty!
Mazet: It is called an Orz Earring.
Keele: Orz Earring...
Reid: Have you heard of it?
Keele: All high-level Craymel Mages wear it. They say that putting it on your
ears allows you to communicate with Craymels.
Farah: Communicate? With... Craymels?!
Reid: Okay... But what does the Orz Earring have to do with Meredy?
Keele: I get it! Craymels speak the Melnics language, too!!
Mazet: Correct. The concept might be applicable to this instance as well.
Reid: But we aren't Craymel Mages...
Mazet: Try putting them on. Then listen carefully to what Meredy says.
Farah: It sounds easy! Let's try it!
[They all put the earring on.]
Farah: Okay, I'm ready!
Farah: Meredy, can you understand me? Answer me if you do!
[Meredy says something in Melnics.]
Farah: Reid! Keele! Did you understand what she said?
Reid: Not a thing. It's not working at all.
Farah: Meredy, say something again. Tell me if you understand me!
[Meredy says something in Melnics.]
Mazet: It may take some time. The Orz Earring will not work unless you are all
on the same psychic wave...
Farah: Psychic... wave?
Reid: Doesn't sound easy...
[Meredy gets up and starts running around the room.]
Reid: Did you eat something bad?
Farah: What's the matter? Calm down...
[Meredy says something in Melnics, then runs out the door.]
Reid: Hey, what do we do?
Farah: We can't let her go off by herself!
[Farah runs out the door.]
Reid: I guess not.
[Reid walks outside.]
Keele: I don't understand! What's the matter with her?
Mazet: Keele.
Mazet: Listen... She's human, just like you. Remember... Okay?
Keele: Y... yes. I understand.
Reid: Where could Meredy have gone?
**Backwoods**
Farah: Look, over there!
Reid: Meredy!
[There's a big plant thing cornering Quickie.]
Quickie: Kweekeeeeee!!
[Meredy runs over in front of Quickie and says something.]
Farah: There's Quickie! Meredy's trying to save Quickie!
Reid: She was looking for Quickie...
Farah: We've got to save them!
[After the fight.]
Farah: Meredy! Everything's fine now.
Farah: Meredy, I'm sorry. I didn't realize Quickie was gone.
[Keele walks over to Meredy.]
Keele: Hey, do you understand?! Monsters are vicious and dangerous! You put us
in danger, too!
Keele: As part of the group, you don't go off alone like that! Got it?!
Farah: C'mon that's enough! After all, we're all fine.
Meredy: ...Sorry.
Keele: Hmph. Anyways, next time...
Meredy: Okay!
Meredy: You saved Meredy and Quickie. Thank you!
Reid: No need to thank us. Let's get back to Professor Mazet's house.
Meredy: You bet!
Farah: Reid?
Reid: What?
Keele: The earrings? Are you wearing them?
Reid: Yeah.
[Meredy walks over to Reid.]
Meredy: Pretty!
Reid: Hey, stop that! Th... that tickles!
Meredy: Same as Meredy!
Reid: Well, yeah. We put these on so that we can communicate.
Farah: ...Reid?
Keele: Not a very sharp one.
Reid: Huh?
Reid: I... I'm talking to Meredy???
Meredy: Hwee!! Yes you are talking! It's Meredy. Reid, not too sharp.
[Meredy grabs Reid.]
Reid: Ow ow ow!
Keele: Tell me! Have you really come from Celesita?
Meredy: You bet.
Keele: Let me see some evidence.
Meredy: What's eveedensh?
Keele: Then, is it true the world is in danger?
Keele: What kind of technology does Celestia possess?
Keele: What exactly is that stone attached to your forehead? Do all Celestians
wear such a ston?!
Keele: C'mon, tell me!
[Meredy hits Keele.]
Meredy: Keele, ruuuuude!
Keele: Wh...who's the rude one?!
Farah: Come on, cool down.
Farah: Say Meredy. Can you tell us the reason you came to Inferia?
Meredy: You bet!
Meredy: Ummm... Meredy... wanna stop the Grand Fall. Need help...
Keele: Grand Fall? ...That's something not found even in the Leonoa
Encyclopedia.
Meredy: The Grand Fall is when Celestia and Inferia come closer together... and
then...
Meredy: BOOOM!
Keele: Inferia and Celestia, colliding?!
Meredy: You bet. Going to collide. Collide is very bad.
Farah: Th... that can't be...
Reid: Th... there and here, colliding?! Are you serious? What's gonna happen?
Are we all gonna be flattened?!
Keele: Why had the balance collapsed? Was it a side effect of the raised
Craymel pressure caused by Grobule distortion?
Keele: Or is it that the localized stress from the Craymel Zone has caused a
Doctark Effect in the Orbus Barrier?
Farah: Meredy, are you here because you know how to prevent the Grand Fall?
Meredy: You bet! Gather the Greater Craymels in Inferia. If we do that, the
collisio. will stop.
Keele: From a pact with the Greater Craymels? What nonsense! It's impossible!
Keele: Craymels and people live in different worlds. That's especially true for
Greater Craymels. Making contact is hard enough. A pact? Forget it!
Meredy: No problem!
Meredy: Celestian Craymel Cage! Greater Craymels enter from here.
Keele: Are you suggesting that Greater Craymels can be captured in a
Celestia-made Craymel Cage?
Meredy: No, no! Craymel Cages work the same way as Inferian ones do.
Meredy: But Parasol is different! With this, Greater Craymels can enter the
Craymel Cage!
Keele: So... if I use this, even my Craymel Cage will work?
Meredy: You bet! Greater Craymel can enter.
Farah: In other words... We can save the world!
Meredy: You bet!
Farah: Maybe we can become heroes! Yeah, no problem!
Reid: Keele, can you bring them back to reality?
Keele: We'll ask Professor Mazet the whereabouts of the Greater Craymels.
Reid: Hey, you can't be serious... Go seek the Greater Craymels?
Keele: If we can meet the Greater Craymels, the truth about the Grand Fall may
come to light.
Keele: After all, the Greater Craymels do not lie.
Meredy: Keele! Help Meredy. Will you help? Please, please?!
Keele: Let me make this clear that this does not mean I believe all that stuff
you've said!
Keele: I only do this to discover the truth!!
Farah: How stubborn can you get?
Farah: Come on, let's go!
**Mazet's House**
Keele: As far as I know, this thing she calls a Parasol...
Keele: ...doesn't have any special features or functions that enable its use
with the Greater Craymels.
Keele: What do you think, Professor?
Mazet: You must meet the Greater Craymels. There is nothing more I can tell
you.
Keele: I understand...
[Mazet gets up and walks over to Meredy.]
Mazet: Take the Parasol.
Farah: Professor... Can you tell us where we can find the Greater Craymels?
Mazet: ...I know of one place where you might...
Mazet: Go out of Morle and go northest for a little way and you'll see Undine
Stream.
Farah: Undine... Stream...
Mazet: If it's true that disaster is upon us and that Meredy is the key to
saving the world, I'm sure the Greater Craymels will appear before you.
Farah: Then... They must know much more than we do...
Mazet: Have you decided?
Keele: Of course! We'll fine them!
Meredy: You bet!
Mazet: Take this map. I'm sure you'll find it quite useful!
[The group receives the Inferia Map.]
Farah: Thank you, Professor Mazet!
Mazet: Farah, I sense that you have the innate power to heal...
Mazet: I will teach you a new skill.
Farah: I don't know how to thank you...
[Farah learns Detoxify.]
[Reid, Farah and Meredy walk outside.]
Mazet: Keele.
Mazet: It seems you've learned to communicate with Meredy quite quickly...
Keele: Huh? Oh, yes. We had help from a little incident...
Mazet: Remember those feelings. And pursue the unknowable. That... is true
learning.
Keele: The unknowable?
Mazet: Heh heh heh. Maybe someday, you too will understand why I left the
university...
Reid: After Morle is Undine Stream... I never meant to come this far.
Farah: Well... We've come this far. We can't go back to Rasheans now!
Meredy: Meredy sorry. It is Meredy's fault...
Meredy: Farah and Reid thrown out of the village because Hyades attacked.
Reid: Hyades, is he the one that smashed the Elder's house?
Farah: So, he was after you?
Reid: But why...?
[Keele walks outside to where the rest of the group is.]
Keele: Huh? What's wrong?
Farah: It's nothing. C'mon let's get going!
Farah: The Undine Stream is northeast of Morle.
=============
Undine Stream
=============
Voice: You have done well.
Voice: You have done well to come this far.
Reid: This is...
Farah: Could it be...?
Voice: It has been a long time since I last saw a human.
Keele: T... the Greater Craymel! Undine?!
Farah: Whew... It's the real thing?
Keele: Greater Craymel Undine, keeper of the Holy Waters. Forgive us for
treading upon this land.
Keele: Oh Greater Craymel Undine, please tell us!
Keele: Is it true that the Grand Fall will come to this world?
Undine: Do you think a Greater Craymel such as I would deign to converse with
humans without reason?
Keele: Th... Then, it is true...
Meredy: Hwee!!
Undine: Let me ask you then. What are your desires?
Meredy: I want you to go in here.
Farah: To save the world... We need the Greater Craymels' power. Won't you...
help us?
Keele: I understand how rude this request must seem. But there is no other way!
Undine: ...In that case, I shall see if your actions speak as loud as your
words.
Undine: This is where the Craymels sleep. If you are prepared, venture further
within.
Reid: If you are prepared? Keele, what does she mean?
Keele: ...She wants us to fight her.
Reid: Fight?! She's a Greater Craymel! We can't win...
Keele: Undine... She's testing our power. We've go to give it our all.
Farah: Yeah! Nothing ventured, nothing gained! No problem!
Undine: I assume you are here because you are ready to fight me. There is no
turning back...
Farah: We're ready!
Meredy: Ready!
Reid: How about you, Keele?
Keele: I'm... I'm ready!
Undine: Very well. Let us begin!
[After the battle...]
Undine: You work together well. ...I will help you.
Keele: Thank you!!
Undine: However...
Undine: ...I am merely one of the Primary Craymels of Inferia.
Undine: In order to achieve your goal, you need all of the Greater Craymels.
Farah: All of the Greater Craymels...
Keele: Where are the other Greater Craymels?
Undine: I will now enter the Craymel Cage...
Keele: Please wait! Tell us where to find the other Greater Craymels!
Meredy: Undine... ...in the Craymel Cage.
Keele: Let me see, Meredy.
Meredy: You bet!
Meredy: Each Greater Craymel has basic Craymel Artes, so if you select the
Fringe command, you can learn it!
Meredy: Have you tried the Craymel command?
Keele: What does the Vitality gauge mean?
Meredy: It shows how much energy the Greater Craymel has.
Meredy: Undine is the Greater Craymel of Water, so if you use Water Artes, her
Vitality goes up.
Farah: What happens when the gauge is full?
Meredy: You can Summon the Greater Craymel, itself!
Reid: Wow! That's incredible! I can't wait to see!
Keele: This place looks safe, and the air seems really nice.
Reid: Yeah? What about it?
Farah: Why don't we take a little break here?
Keele: That doesn't sound like a bad idea.
Reid: Hey, Keele? How many Greater Craymels are there?
Keele: I'm not quite sure. But it's said there are generally four main types.
Keele: Water, Fire, and Wind... the three basic Craymels, ...and the Light
Craymel, which unifies them all.
Reid: Hmmm... And, where are the other Greater Craymels besides Undine?
Farah: Undine didn't tell us.
Keele: The planes of existance for humans and Craymels differ. Just for them to
appear in front of humans is an extraordinary event.
Farah: Wow... really?
Reid: Hey! For our next destination... Why don't we head for Inferia?
Farah: Inferia...? You mean the King's castle?
Reid: Yeah. Gathering all the Craymels is way beyond our abilities.
Reid: There isn't much more we can do, other than inform the King about the
Grand Fall. Am I wrong?
Farah: But... we established a pact with Undine all on our own.
Reid: That was just plain luck. We can't afford any mistakes. We've gotta know
our limits!
Keele: That's true... we do have an obligation to report this to the King.
Farah: Keele!
Keele: Imagine the consequences of seeking the Greater Craymels without the
King's permission.
Keele: We might attract needless suspicion.
Farah: ...I see your point.
Reid: It's decided, then. Our next destination is Inferia City.
Meredy: What about the Greater Craymels?
Reid: Don't worry. Once the King learns of the Grand Fall, he'll mobilize the
army and find all the Greater Craymels.
Farah: Meredy, have faith in our King. Okay?
Keele: You have to go through the Forest of Temptation to get to Inferia City.
Keele: Go southeast along the river. It's across the bridge.
====================
Forest of Temptation
====================
**Entrance**
Reid: Whew... This place is kinda creepy.
Keele: The only way to get to Inferia City is by going through this Forest...
Keele: ...since commoners aren't allowed to board the royal ship.
**After the deity puzzle is solved**
Quickie: Kwekeee!!
Meredy: Quickie! Come back!
Quickie: Kwekeee!!
Meredy: We can go further from here.
Farah: The air here is so pure.
Reid: It looks like a rest area.
Keele: L... let's say we rest here. The place looks to be safe.
Farah: Say, Meredy. If we somehow gather all the Greater Craymels... What do we
do then?
[Meredy says something in Melnics.]
Meredy: Return to Celestia.
Farah: To Celestia...? How?
Meredy: I do not know!
Reid: It sounds as though that may be a bigger hurdle than gathering all the
Greater Craymels.
Keele: ...If that's true, how did you come to Inferia? The two worlds have been
out of contact for 2000 years.
Meredy: I came on a Craymel Craft. It can fly in the skies.
Keele: That's nonsense! That kind of technology is impossible.
Reid: Maybe you've never heard of it, but we saw it with our own eyes.
Farah: It was flying, but then it crashed.
Meredy: It is true!
Keele: ...Then take me to the crash site. I can't believe it unless I see it
myself.
Reid: Well, Keele I really wanna show it to you but...
Keele:
Farah: Keele, ummm... I don't want to disappoint you, but...
Keele: Well, let me first see the craft. After I measure the Craymel density in
the area, I should be able to derive a hypothesis.
Keele: Well, where's it at?
Meredy: Impossible. Craymel Craft explode into many, many pieces.
Keele: ...No.
Farah: It's true. Reid and I were there.
Reid: It was pretty scary.
Keele: It can't be destroyed! A flying machine... A revolutionary technology...
Farah: Well, I'm sure we'll find something to get us to Celestia. Yeah! No
problem!!
Quickie: Kwekeee... kukuku.
Meredy: The air, feels unsafe...
Keele: This forest is where all the lost souls gather.
Keele: If you're not careful, spirits hungry for a body could drain your life
dry.
Reid: D... don't scare us like that.
Farah: No problem! Monster, pirate, whatever... I'll take 'em all on!!
============
Inferia City
============
**Entrance**
Reid: Whoa! This place is huge!
Farah: I thought Mintche was big, but this place is bigger yet!
Keele: Of course. It's the capital of the Inferia Empire.
Meredy: Hwee!!
Meredy: There are so many people! They are all... umm... ...Inferians?!
Keele: Meredy, from here on, you can't dance, scream, or do anything out of the
ordinary.
Keele: The city is congested with people. Even the slightest akwardness might
cause people to suspect that you're a Celestian.
Meredy: Is being Celestian bad? They cannot suspect?
Keele: NO!
Keele: Historically, Celestians have visted numerous disasters upon us. I'm
quite certain that there are many who hold hatred for Celestians.
Meredy: Baiba! Celestians not responsible for causing disasters!
Keele: You need our help, right?
Farah: Meredy. It's unfortunate, but there's no question that there are a lot
of people who dislike Celestians. Let's be careful, okay?
Meredy: You bet.
Keele: Don't forget.
Reid: All right... all right. Let's go and meet the King.
**Inferia Castle Entrance**
Guard 1: What do ya want?
Farah: Er... We would like to see the King.
Guard 2: The King?!
Keele: This is a matter of grave concern for Inferia.
Keele: The details are written in these papers. It's imperative that we see the
King at once.
Guard 1: Hahaha-ha! You can't be serious?!
Guard 2: Insolent fools! You want a trip to the dungeon? Or perhaps a beating
right here?
Keele: Whoa!
Reid: We're leavin'!
Farah: Goodbye!
**City Square**
Keele: That's how guards are... They're all muscle and no brains. To think that
our illustrious King is protected by those dingbats.
Meredy: Illustrious? Does that mean great?
Farah: Yeah. After all, he is the King!
Meredy: Why is he great?
Keele: I guess a Celestian wouldn't understand.
Meredy: What?!
Keele: The King is a sacred, noble presence. He's fundamentally different from
people like us!
Farah: Meredy, doesn't Celestia have a King?
Meredy: No! We are all equal. No special people!
Farah: I see...
Keele: Perhaps the reason Celestia is so barbarous is because they've never
known the rule of a King.
Meredy: Celestians not barbarians!
Reid: C'mon, stop the fruitless debate. We should be figuring out what to do
next.
Keele: Let's go to the Royal Observatory of Astronomy.
</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
Farah: You mean the tall building over here?
Keele: That's right. It boasts the world's most precise telescope.
Keele: Should they allow us to use it, we may be able to objectively determine
if the Grand Fall is actually true or not.
Reid: How do you know we won't get kicked out again?
Keele: Top scientists from all over are gathered in the Observatory. They're
not musclebound guards.
Farah: Then we should have no problem getting in. Let's go!
**Royal Observatory of Astronomy**
Reid: Should we be in here?
Farah: If it isn't okay, someone'll tell us, right?
Reid: Hey, Keele. It's off-limits to visitors!
Keele: We're not visitors. We have a purpose.
Voice: Stop right there!
[Person comes running out.]
Person: No unauthorized persons are allowed inside.
Keele: Let us go to the Observation Room! We absolutely must use the telescope!
Person: ...What are you going to do?
Keele: I want to measure the change in distance between Inferia and Celestia!
Person: The change? The distance between Inferia and Celestia never changes!
Taking the measurements is pointless!
Keele: How can you be so sure? Do you take periodic measurements?
Person: Well... no, but we did take one about two years ago...
Reid: Aren't those measurements a little outdated?
Person: Watch who you criticize! All measurements are carried out
systematically under Chancellor Zosimos' orders!
Person: If you come anwhere near the Observation Room, I'll call the guards!
Keele: Please at least read my thesis! Anybody familiar with the Light Craymel
theory would understand its significance immediately!
Person: Stay back! What is your problem?!
Keele: Let's go. We'll be in serious trouble if he calls the guards.
Farah: Keele!
Keele: There's still a way!
[The group leaves. Somebody else comes in where the Person that they were
speaking to is.]
Person who just walked in: What was all that ruckus?
Person: I'm... I'm very sorry! I'll clean up right away!
**Outside of Observatory**
Keele: ..Argh! It's appalling to think that an idiot like him is a researcher
at one of the finest institutions...
Reid: Keele, before you blame others, maybe you ought to admit your failures.
You haven't been correct with any of your predictions up to this point!
[Farah hits Reid.]
Farah: Hey, watch what you say! Keele is trying as hard as he can to help
Meredy and save the world!
Farah: Right?
Keele: Er... right.
Reid: So what should we do? Are there any other ways we can meet the King?
Keele: There is. The Seyfert Sanctuary.
Reid: So we pray for Seyfert's help?
Keele: The church worships the Seyfert Ring as a symbol of their faith. Surely,
they must have noticed the unusual appearance of the Seyfert Ring.
Keele: We'll be fine this time.
Farah: Okay, no problem! Let's do it!
Keele: Let's head for Seyfert Sanctuary on the east edge of the town.
**Seyfert Sanctuary**
Meredy: The glass... It is so pretty!
Keele: It's stained glass despicting the god of creation, Seyfert.
Meredy: Sey... fert...
Quickie: Kwekuuuu... kwe!
Keele: Sorry to bother you, but... I'd like to speak to the archbishop.
Galvani: I am Archbishop Galvani.
Keele: Archbishop! My apologies! How rude of me!
Galvani: That's all right. So, waht would you like to talk about?
Keele: I would like to speak to you about the pecullar change in the Seyfert
Ring...
Galvani: Ah...
Keele: Do you know about the dark matter in the Seyfert Ring? It seems to be
expanding at the rate of 300 langes a year.
Galvani: Yes, of course. The Sanctuary is aware of the change. And...?
Keele: I believe the Grand Fall will occur because of the change in the dark
matter.
Keele: Inferia and Celestia are coming closer to each other. Collision appears
to be inevitable.
Keele: Please... could you report this matter to the King and...?
Galvani: What idiotic nonsense!!
Galvani: How dare you associate the dark matter, the sign of the second coming
of Seyfert, with such disaster!
Reid: Wha...?! The dark matter is a blessing?
Keele: ...So that's why my theory was rejected at the university...
Galvani: Seize them! Hand them over to the guards!!
Four people standing on each side of Galvani: Yes, sir!
Reid: Uh-oh! Let's get out of here!!
Galvani: Seize them! Don't let them escape!
**Outside of the Seyfert Sanctuary**
Roen: There they are! Grab them!
Farah: You're joking?!
Keele: Damn!
Meredy: No, no! I'm scared!
Farah: Reid, what now?
Reid: Good question...
Roen: I'm captain Roen Lamoa of the Imperial Guards!!
Roen: Surrender. Resistance is futile and will only hasten your deaths.
Reid: What are you going to do with us?
Roen: Spreading lies all over town about the destruction of the world... Kneel
before the King! And accept your death sentence!
Farah: Death sentence? Y... you mean...?
Reid: What do we do? Shall we take a chance and rumble?
Keele: Let's surrender quietly.
Keele: Think about it. It's a chance to gain the ear of the King.
Reid: Yeah, and receive the death sentence.
Keele: It's a one-shot chance to turn the tables...
Farah: ...I got you. I hope this works.
Meredy: ...I hope too.
Keele: I... I promise it'll work.
Reid: ...We surrender.
**After the group is taken prisoner**
Reid: Hey, Keele. When's it going to happen?
Reid: When are we going to get our chance to turn the tables?
Meredy: What will happen to us?
Farah: We're going to be all right... Right?
Keele: Damn it! I can't believe we got thrown in here like this!
Farah: Shh! I can hear voices about us!
King: I shall pass sentence. You have deceived us in an attempt to throw our
country into turmoil...
King: The spreading of sedition is a crime of the highest order. You are hereby
sentenced... to death!
Meredy: What does death sentence mean? Are we in trouble?
Reid: DEATH sentence?!
Keele: P... please! Listen to what I have to say!
Keele: If you would investigate, you'll see what's really causing the Grand
Fall!
Arende: ...They seem to be shouting something.
Roen: Nothing but the blather of foolish criminals. It is not for you to hear,
Princess Arende.
Arende: What are they saying? Father, what are they saying?
King: Hmm...
Queen: Arende! You should pay no heed to the talk of commoners. Your beautiful
heart will be sullied!
Queen: They are rude and violent ruffians who live in a different world from
yours.
Queen: Roen! Quit your dawdling! Silence the criminals at once!
Roen: Yes, M'lady!
Roen: Prepare to flood the tank!
Arende: I'm feeling faint...
Queen: Roen!!
Roen: Begin flooding!
Meredy: Baiba!
Keele: Urk! Let go of me!
Keele: Damn it! Let us out of here!
Keele: Undine, help us! Help! We're going to drown!
Keele: I guess we can't call on the Greater Craymels as if they're servants.
Farah: I've found it!
Reid: What?
Keele: Let's stop struggling. We can't escape our fate. Me might as well face
our deaths with peace and tranquility.
Farah: Keele!
Farah: Don't give up now! I'm not going to die in a dark and gloomy place like
this!
Farah: Look! Down here! There's a valve!
Keele: A valve? To drain the water?
Farah: Maybe... Let's dive under and see!
Reid: Hey! Wait! It's dangerous!
Farah: Yeah, but somebody's go to do it.
Reid: Okay... I'll do it!
Farah: Thanks, Reid!
[Reid dives under and comes back up.]
Reid: *Gasp*...!
Reid: It won't open!
Reid: Huh? Where's Keele and Meredy?
Farah: Oh... They left before us...
Reid: Left?! You mean they're...
Farah: A rope dropped down from above. See?!
Reid: Huh? You mean... ...my effort was for nothing?
Farah: Uh... Well... thanks for trying.
Farah: Hey! Reid!!
King: Be grateful! Your sentence has been commuted, thanks to Chancellor
Zosmimos of the Royal Observatory of Astonomy.
Keele: You are... Chancellor Zosimos?
Zosimos: Are you the one responsible for writing this treatise?
Keele: Yes, sir. You've read my paper, sir?
Zosimos: We measured the distance between the worlds and discovered the worlds
to be 2000 langes closer than before...
Keele: Just as I thought!
Zosimos: So long as we fail to understand the cause of this phenomenon, we
cannot pass final judgement. As such, it would be regretful to let the death
sentence stand.
Keele: Th... thank you!
Arende: That's wonderful!
Meredy: That is wonderful!
Arende: Heehee...
Queen: Arende! Don't interrupt!
Zosimos: Your Majesty, I shall now assume full responsibility for these
individuals.
King: ...Very well. Take care to remain vigilant.
Zosimos: Yes, Sire!
Zosimos: There is still much that needs to be investigated. Will you cooperate
with me?
Keele: Yes, of course! Gladly!
King: You may all remain within the castle for the time being.
Farah: Yes, Sire!
Roen: The guest room is on the second floor of the west tower. Go when you
wish. I will follow later.
**Guest Room**
Meredy: It's fluffy and soft!
Reid: There are only two beds?
Roen: Of course not. This isn't a peasant house.
Meredy, Farah and Reid: Whoa...
Meredy: This is nice and soft, too!
Roen: Listen up, commoners!
Roen: Henceforth, discussion contrary to Inferia Empire doctrine will not be
tolerated!
Roen: If you disobey me... You shall be sentenced to death immediately! Is that
clear?
Farah: Crystal clear.
Reid: Okay, okay.
Meredy: The death penalty is scary...
Roen: Hmph! I want you out of here as soon as possible. It's starting to stink
like peasants!
[Roen exits the room.]
Reid: Whew. We're finally done!
Meredy: Huh? Done?
Reid: There's nothing to worry about anymore. Keele and Zosimos are going to
figure out what's behind the Grand Fall.
Reid: And when they do, the King will do something about it.
Person: I'm finished with the adjustments!
Zosimos: Good job.
Zosimos: What's your name?
Keele: Keele Zeibel!
Zosimos: If the distance between the two worlds is changing, we'll have to
recalculate a large variety of measurements...
Zosimos: Keele, will you help us?
Keele: Me? Of course!!
Reid: And so, we've accomplished our role. Our long journey is over! Now we can
sit back and relax!
Meredy: It is not over! Meredy must return to Celestia with the Greater
Craymels!
Meredy: Return to Celestia. Reid not over yet!
[Meredy jumps on the bed Reid is lying on.]
Reid: Urk...! Can't... breathe!
Farah: That's right.... There's still work for us to do.
Farah: We shouldn't be relying on the King for everything.
Farah: We have to at least find out how to get Meredy home to Celestia.
Reid: That's easier said than done.
Farah: No problem! We can do it if we work together! Right, Meredy?
Meredy: No problem! Thank you, Farah!
Farah: Meredy, let's go sleep in the other room.
Meredy: No! Meredy want to be with Reid! We all sleep together!
Farah: N... NO!
Meredy: Why?
Farah: No is no!
Meredy: ...Why not?
Reid: G'night!
Farah: See? Reid says he's going to sleep.
Meredy: ...Okay.
Reid: Now I'm wide awake...
Zosimos: I'm a little tired. Keele, take over for me.
Keele: Y... yes, sir!
Zosimos: Do you know how to operate it?
Keele: Yes, I learned how at the university.
[Keele looks into the telescope.]
Keele: In... incredible!!
Keele: So this is... Celestia...
Zosimos: Keele.
Zosimos: Keele...
Keele: Oh... My apologies! I got a little carried away...
Keele: Can... can I help you?
Zosimos: Yes, I've been wondering... What lead you to predict the Grand Fall in
the first place?
Keele: Well, it was Meredy...
Keele: Um, no, I mean... It just hit me all of a sudden.
Zosimos: I see. Well, you'll have to tell me all about it some time. But first
we have to finish our work.
Reid: I guess Keele stayed up all night.
Farah: He's probably caught up in his research. I'm sure Keele can...
[Keele enters the room.]
Meredy: Keele!
Reid: Did you figure out what's causing the Grand Fall?
Keele: Not yet... But we're getting there.
Farah: I knew you'd be giving it you're all! You must be tired. You should
sleep.
Reid: ...Shh! Someone's coming!
Voice from outside the room: Please... If the Queen should see you here...
Voice from outside the room: I beg of you! I want to speak with the commoners
just this once.
[Roen and Arende enter the room.]
Roen: ...! You are all awake.
Reid: What an honor... To have the princess come along to awaken us.
Roen: The... the reason why...
Arende: I asked him to let me come along. I was... worried about all of you.
Farah: Thank you for your concern. Thanks to you, we've been able to get plenty
of rest.
Meredy: You are pretty. More pretty than the stained glass in the sanctuary.
Roen: Why, you... You imprerinent little dog!
Arende: ...Thank you. I am Arende, the Princess of Inferia.
Meredy: A... Arende? Me Meredy!
Arende and Meredy: Heehee!
Roen: The King is about to make an important announcement in the Audience
Chamber.
Roen: Usually, only nobles and royalty are invited, but Chancellor Zosimos has
seen to it that you can attend. If you have no objections, come now!
**Outside Inferia Castle**
Arende: I would like to speak to them a little more.
Roen: You mustn't, my lady.
Roen: The commoners were allowed within the castles walls because we have a
crisis. By no means is this a standard practice.
Arende: Crisis? We have a crisis?
Roen: Er... well...
Arende: When will he return? If he were here, we wouldn't have anything to
worry about...
Arende: *Sigh* Oh, how I want to see him again.
Roen: He is surely a great Senior Knight.
Roen: However, I'm confident that my swordsmanship, lineage, and loyalty are
just as impressive.
Roen: I, Roen Lamoa, am ready to travel to the ends of Orbus for the Princess.
Arende: I must be on my way now. I wouldn't want to be late and upset Mother.
Farewell.
Farah: I wonder what the King has to say.
Keele: He'll likely reveal the plan for dealing with the Grand Fall...
Meredy: We need Greater Craymels!
Keele: I've discussed it with Chancellor Zosimos, but I don't know if he
managed to gather sufficent objective evidence...
**Audience Chamber**
Soldier: Long live the King of Inferia! Long live the Inferia Empire!
Soldier: Long live the King of Inferia! Long live the Inferia Empire!
King: Listen to me well, all of you. Inferia is facing a terrible danger.
King: The Royal Observatory of Astronomy has conducted an investigation of the
situation. A plan has been decided as of this morning.
King: You shall now be given an explanation. Chancellor Zosimos, come forward!
Zosimos: Yes, your majesty.
Zosimos: The two worlds, Celestia and Inferia, are shifting closer and closer
together even as we speak.
Zosimos: Based on the measurements taken at the observatory, we can expect
impact some 100 sohme from now.
Zosimos: We believe that a malevolent Celestian plot is at the root of this
situation!
Zosimos: Not satisfied with the numerous disasters they have previously visited
upon us, they plan to annihilate the entire world!
King: We pledge to thoroughly resist this Celestian campaign of the destruction
with all of our might. My good Inferians... Prepare for battle!
Zosimos: According to the ancient sculptures, there exists what is called the
Bridge of Light... It is the only known means of crossing over to Celestia.
Zosimos: If the Bridge of Light can be discovered, we can send a contingent of
our elite troops to Celestia and prevent the Grand Fall.
King: I expect your unwavering support during this time of crisis.
King: We shall show the Celestian barbarians the true might of the Inferia
Empire!
Soldier: Long live the King of Inferia! Long live the Inferia Empire!
Soldier: Long live the King of Inferia! Long live the Inferia Empire!
King: This meeting is adjourned.
Meredy: Baiba! No... no... no! That is not right!
Reid: Hey, Keele! What does this mean?!
Keele: ...I don't believe this.
Keele: Chancellor Zosimos! What is going on?!
Keele: Just yesterday, didn't you say that it's impossible for anybody to cause
the Grand Fall on purpose?!
Zosimos: Keele, you could become a magnificant scholar some day...
Zosimos: ...But first, realize that academia must also obey the King's will.
Farah: What is the Bridge of Light? Where is it?
Zosimos: It's a bridge to Celestia that was discovered some 30 years ago by a
Craymel Mage named Balir. We don't know its location or method of operation as
of yet.
Farah: So this person crossed over into Celestia using the Bridge of Light?
That's amazing! I never heard this story!
Zosimos: It's no surprise that you do not know. He never returned.
Roen: Haven't you already overstayed your welcome?!
Roen: You have served your purpose. Leave the castle immediately.
**Inferia Castle Entrance**
Roen: Hmph! Take this and get out of my sight!
Reid: Is this... a boarding pass?
Roen: With this, you can board any of our Inferia ships.
Roen: A precious item like this isn't something normally bestowed upon a
commoner. You should be grateful.
[The group receives the Boarding Pass.]
Farah: So... do you really believe that the Celestians are causing the Grand
Fall?
Roen: Of course. That's what the King said.
Farah: Don't you think it's strange that the barbarous Celestians are capable
of doing something that Inferians can't do?
Roen: Are you saying that the King is wrong?
Farah: N... no! Of course, not!
Farah: I'll be on my way now. Goodbye!
Roen: Hey, you! Wait.
**Town Square**
Farah: Since the King isn't going to help us, I guess we have no choice but to
do it ourselves.
Reid: Are you serious?!
Meredy: Let's collect Greater Craymels. Then we go to Celestia!
Farah: Right. We know the Bridge of Light is the passage to Celestia. All we
need to do now is to find the Greater Craymels!
Meredy: Keele, you are late! We are leaving now!
Keele: Uh... right...
Farah: Say, why don't we go to the Port of Inferia and put the Boarding Pass to
good use?
===============
Port of Inferia
===============
**Entrance**
Guard: Only nobles and merchants with passes are allowed beyond this point.
Farah: We have a pass. See?
Guard: A pass issued by the King!
Guard: You... you can go ahead!
**Dock**
Sailor: This ship is bound for Barole. How about a ride?
Farah: Barole...
Sailor: It's north of Inferia. It's a bustling trade city.
Farah: Hmm. Sounds like a good spot to get more information about the Greater
Craymels!
Sailor: Will you take this ship to Barole Port?
Farah: Yes, please! We want to go!
Sailor: We'll be departing soon! Hurry on aboard!
Meredy: Keele?
Reid: Did you forget something?
Farah: What's the matter?
Keele: I... I can't go.
Farah: What? What do you mean?
Keele: Chancellor Zosimos is asking for my help... to find the Bridge of
Light...
Farah: You can't be serious!! You're going to help with the war effor? You
still trust them after what they did?
Meredy: Baiba!
Keele: It was my dream to work at the Royal Observatory of Astronomy.
Farah: ...Fine. Do what you want, Keele.
Keele: ...Goodbye.
Meredy: What?!
Reid: Are we just going to let him go, Farah?
Farah: What can we do? It's his life.
Farah: C'mon! We can do it on our own! No problem!
Sailor: Come on, now! It's time to depart. Getting on or staying off?
Farah: We're getting on!
Reid: Let's go, Meredy!
Meredy: You bet...
============
Inferia Ship
============
Farah: I wonder what Keele is doing?
Reid: His dreams came ture. He's probably havingn a great time.
Farah: Meredy, forgive him. Keele also has things he wants to do.
Meredy: Meredy already forgive him. But...
Meredy: Meredy is Celestian. And so maybe Keele will become my enemy?
Farah: N... not at all!
Meredy: Re... really? No?
Farah: Keele just wants to learn many things. He won't be your enemy. ...Trust
him.
Reid: Trust...?
Farah: Hey, are you awake?
Reid: I'm thinking!
Meredy: About?
Reid: N... nothing.
===========
Barole Port
===========
Meredy: Baiba! What a pretty smell!
Reid: I'll say! Smells yummy! I wonder what it is?
Farah: Really, Reid! You're such a glutton! ...But it does smell good.
=====================
City of Trade, Barole
=====================
**Entrance**
Meredy: Baiba! Lots of stores here!
Farah: Everything looks so attractive!
Reid: Don't go wandering off now.
Reid: This beautiful scent must be...
Farah: Reid, don't YOU go wandering off!
**Farah's nosiness**
Reid: It looks like trouble. We better not get involved... Farah?!
Meredy: Too late.
Merchant: What do you want?! Get out of my way now!
Farah: No! I'm not going anywhere. Don't you think it's pathetic for a grown-up
to bully a kid?!
Merchant:
Kid:
[The merchant hits the kid.]
Farah: What are you DOING?!
[Farah beats the snot outta the merchant.]
Kid: Serves you right!
Farah: Huh? What...?
Merchant: You let him get AWAY! That brat's a habitual thief!!
Farah: HUH?!
Farah: But he's just a kid...
Merchant: Bad kids are bad! To think that we finally got him today... What's
your problem girl?!
Farah: Ah, er, well, it was like... I just didn't know...
Person 1: What kind of excuse is that?!
Person 2: That's right!!
Person 3: We want payback!!
Merchant: Come to think of it... We can use you...
Reid: We're sorry, really! We just came into port...
Merchant: That's a lame excuse!
Reid: That's true...
[A man with a blue hat comes walking onto the scene.]
Man with blue hat: Article 87 of Inferia Trading Law. Employment is only to
take effect when both parties are in accord...
Man with blue hat: In other words, you can't force her to work for you without
her consent.
Merchant: D... do you have a problem?!
Man with blue hat: It's the King's law.
Man with blue hat: Your crates are sticking out 1.5 Lange into the public
street. That's either 3 years in jail or a fine of 1,000 Gald.
Man with blue hat: On top of that, double pricing...? There are no defenses for
such violations...
Man with blue hat: Before you punish a child, maybe you should follow the law
yourself, don't you think?
Merchant: Okay, okay. Please! Forget this happened!
Farah: We're saved! ...I think.
Reid: Farah! Stickin' your nose in when you don't even know what's going on!
Farah: ...Sorry.
Meredy: Wait!!
Farah: Uh... um, thank you so much!
Farah: My name is Farah. Please let us repay you somehow.
Ras: I am... Ras. That was an amusing diversion. It is I who should thank you.
[Farah earns the title of Reckless.]
**Restaurant**
Farah: Umm... Thank you so much for helping me!
Meredy: Thank you!
Farah: When I thought the kid was getting bullied, I couldn't stand to just
watch.
Ras: Are you always so... single-minded?
Farah: ...Huh?
Reid: She's ben that way forever!
Ras: Well. I'm very sorry...
Ras: I feel sorry for those around you.
Reid: So you understand?! ...Understand the trouble I have to deal with?
Farah: When did I ever cause trouble for you?
Reid: It's not the first time something like this has happened!
Reid: When she heard a kid was drowning, she jumped right in and nearly drowned
herself! Do people who can barely swim normally do that?
Reid: And the time before that, she felt sorry for an Egg Bear caught in a trap
and...
Farah: Are you finished? Why do you still remember all of this?
Reid: Because I have to clean up after you EVERY SINGLE TIME!
Ras: I enjoyed the meal.
Meredy: Meredy done too!
Farah: Ahem. You seem quite knowledgeable about the law. What is your
profession, if I may ask?
Reid: A pot?
Ras: It's a double metal pot, made as a decoration for the Royal Family in the
late Melnics Civilization period. Normally 10,000 Gald, it's now only 5,000!
Reid: Are you a merchant?
Ras: You could say that... It's a real bargain. This beauty was found while
exploring Sylph Cavern.
Farah: Sylph Cavern!
Ras: Ah. It's a cave west of Barole.
Ras: The characteristics of this pot are evident on the surface.
Farah: Take us there!
Ras: This pot...
Farah: I don't want it!
Farah: Will you show us the way to Sylph Cavern?
Ras: 50,000 Gald.
Ras: If you pay me 50,000 Gald, I'll show you the way to Sylph Cavern.
Farah: I can't pay that kind of money.
Ras: I see... In that case, I'll show you for free this time. I've been
thinking of going back to Sylph Cavern again, anyway.
Farah: Thank you!
Ras: When you are prepared and ready, meet me in front of the Inn. I'll be
there after I take care of some business.
Farah: Ras!
Farah: I've been wondering... What is that wonderful scent surrounding this
town?
Ras: Oh, that? That's the fragrance of the Donies flowers.
Meredy: Is it the flower on Ras's hat?
Ras: Yes. It's my favorite flower.
Farah: Donies...
Ras: Well, I'll see you later.
Farah: We should get ready, too!
**Outside of Inn**
Meredy: Ras!
[Meredy hugs Ras.]
Meredy: Baiba!
Ras: Watch out!
[Something glows while Meredy is hugging Ras.]
Ras: ...What is this?
Farah: It's the same light as you, Reid.
Quickie: Kweeek, kweee, kweee, keee!
Meredy: Hwee!! Ras has Fibrill, too! Let's go together! For sure! Together!
Quickie: Kweeek, kweee, kweee, keee!
Ras: What in the world is that light...?
Farah: Hmm? I don't know.
Farah: Anyway! C'mon let's go!
Farah: Reid?
Reid: Ah... right.
============
Sylph Cavern
============
**Entrance**
Reid: Hey, those are Inferia Guards.
Ras: Let me speak to them. Wait here for a moment.
Farah: I wonder if Ras can convince them to let us through...?
Reid: I don't know... Inferia Guards can be as stubborn as mules.
Ras: Sorry to keep you waiting. Let's enter, shall we?
Farah: How did you manage to reason with them? You're such a salesman! You must
be a great talker.
Ras: Is that supposed to be a compliment?
Meredy: You bet! Ras is really something!
Farah: Let's go, Reid.
Reid: Don't you find this strange? It shouldn't be this easy to enter land
annexed by the King...
Farah: It's his aura. The guards probably trust his aura.
Reid: Aura?
Farah: Come on, Reid! Hurry! First thing's first. Let's go find the Wind
Craymel!
**Windy Dilemna**
Ras: You can't cross here. The wind's too strong.
Reid: So what are we supposed to do?
Ras: Stand back.
[Ras tosses a rope across.]
Ras: Now if we hold onto the rope as we cross, we'll be fine.
Reid: Pretty handy item you've got there.
**Camp Scene**
Ras: Being exposed to wind for a long time can take a lot out of you. What do
you think? Maybe it's time to get some rest.
Reid: Huh? I'm still feeling great.
Ras: When you push too hard you wind up having accidents. Let's get some rest!
Meredy: You bet!
Ras: Reid... Your swordplay is impressive. You have a unique style. Where did
you learn it?
Reid: ...Self-taught. I'm a hunter.
Meredy: Hey, hey. Ras, what are you wearing? It's pretty...
Ras: Aaah. This is a Compass Key.
Meredy: Com... pass... key?
Ras: Yes. A Compass Key. It's a key with mysterious power that leads you to the
right path.
Farah: Hey, I've heard about those! So that's what they look like...
Reid: ...Ras. So where does your path lead you?
Ras: Earning money, of course. After all, I'm a merchant.
Ras: If I may ask... why do you all want to meet the Greater Craymels?
Farah: Huh? Is that strange? To want to meet them?
Ras: It doesn't seem to be mere curiosity. I feel that there's a... A sense of
purpose.
Meredy: Ras knows much. With Greater Craymels, we will...
Reid: W... wait a minute Meredy!
Farah: Why not? Let me explain to Ras. I'm sure he will be able to help us.
Right?!
Ras: You wish to form a pact with the Greater Craymels to save the world from
the Grand Fall?
Farah: Please believe us. I know this goes against all reasoning, but...
Ras: You seem joyful somehow.
Farah: ...I may have been waiting for a day like this to come for a long time.
Farah: It makes me happy to think that I just might save the lives of people
around the world. And...
Ras: Yes?
Farah: It makes me feel at ease.
Ras: Oh...?
Farah: Knowing that my efforts helped to bring happiness to others makes me
feel... comfortable. I've always felt this way.
Ras: I see. Those are deep wounds...
Ras: What is it that has made you so downhearted? From what do you run?
Farah: Run? Me? ...How rude!! Nothing would make me run!!
Ras: Really?
Farah: Well... dried-up slug carcassess aren't exactly my favorite... But
that's about it.
Ras: ...Heh. I understand. I will broach the subject no more.
Farah: But it's the truth!
Ras: I'm sorry, my dear. Thank you for the interesting chat. Let us sleep... we
have an early morning.
Farah: Yeah... Good night.
**Meeting Sylph**
Farah: Yoo-hoo! Where are you, Greater Craymel...?
Reid: Shhhh, not so loud!
Sylph: Hey there!
Meredy: The Greater Wind Craymel!!
Reid: This twerp?
Sylph: I am Sylph, the Greater Wind Craymel. I congratulate you for making it
this far.
Meredy: Sylph. We have request.
Sylph: I know. You want me to get into that cage, right?
Farah: Please. Undine is already inside.
Sylph: Hmm, what should I do? It's not as if I have nothing else to do.
Reid: If you like, we can show you our strength.
Sylph: Not wasting any time, are you? But what I want to see is your heart, not
your strength.
**After battling Sylph**
Sylph: Hey... you're pretty tough for a bunch of humans!
Meredy: Can you enter the Craymel Cage?
Sylph: Hmm... What should I do?
Reid: Damn it! We have no time to be fooling around!
Ras: Oh great Sylph. We humans are without power. In order to save the world,
we beg you to lend us your power.
Sylph: You're lost without me?
Ras: That is correct. You are our only hope.
Sylph: All right... Fine. I'll get into that thing.
Reid: ...Good griet! He's a real handful.
Sylph: By the way, the Greater Fire Craymel lives in a really hot place. He's
not mature like me, so good luck getting him to cooperate.
Reid: Whew... I'm exhausted.
Meredy: Now Undine and Sylph on our side!
Farah: The Greater Fire Craymel is the only Primary Craymel left. I wonder if
he really is more immature than Sylph?
Reid: At any rate, let's get out of here.
Farah: Good idea.
**Entrance**
Quickie: Kueeekeee, kwwwkeee, kwwwkeee, keee...
Meredy: What is it, Quickie?
Reid: You hungry? I'm hungry, too.
Guard: Excuse me...
Ras: Huh? Oh... excuse me a minute.
Quickie: Kweeek, kweeekeee, keee, keee!
Farah: Are we in trouble? Do they know we have Sylph?
Ras: Huh? No, I don't think so.
Reid: What's going on? What did the Inferia Guards say?
Ras: I have a customer. There's someone who is interested in my pot... I am
sorry, but I must be going.
Farah: Huh? You're leaving us, Ras?
Meredy: Noooo! Do not go! Please help, Ras! Ras has lots of Fibrill!
Ras: I must follow the path to which I am called. I am sorry...
Farah: Come on, Meredy! Mustn't be selfish now.
Meredy: Baiba!
Farah: It's okay! We can manage by ourselves. That's right! No problem!
Meredy: You bet...
Farah: Ras, thanks a million for showing us the way. Good luck with your
business!!
Ras: ...Thanks. All of you... take care.
Meredy: Hween... So painful...
Farah: What do you mean to say is 'sad'... ...He was a good person. Though he
could be awfully rude...
Reid: ...And just when I thought I could leave the rest to him, he leaves.
Meredy: Nooo, nooo! You can't go away too, Reid!!
Reid: Do you need this weird, glowing thing? What the heck is it, anyway?
Meredy: Strong Fibrill!
Meredy: ...Sorry. Not know how to explain...
Farah: But, you know, Reid, don't you think it's a good thing to be needed?
Reid: I wonder...
[Quickie runs off.]
Meredy: Quickie!
Farah: Uh-oh! Come on, Reid! We better hurry, too!
Quickie: Kweekee, kweekee!
[Keele walks up to the group.]
Meredy: Keele!! What are you doing here?
Quickie: Kweeekeee!
Keele: I learned of your whereabouts in the town of Barole.
Keele: It's a long story...
Keele: By the way... I saw an unfamiliar face go by... Who was that?!
Meredy: That was Ras. A new member of our party. ...Was anyway.
Keele: A new member...? YOu didn't go and tell him everything, did you?
Meredy: You bet! We told everything.
Keele: Why did you do that for?! Are you crazy? Do you want to make us
criminals again?
Quickie: Kweekee keee...
Meredy: But Ras has strong Fibrill...
Keele: So what?! Explain it to me so I can actually understand!
Reid: Keele! Stop scaring Meredy.
Farah: Ras is just a merchant. He wouldn't report us to the King.
Reid: Hey, what I want to know is why ou're here. Why aren't you at the Royal
Observatory?
Reid: Did they send you packing already?
Reid: W... wait a minute. Are you serious...?
Farah: I'm so glad you came back to join us.
Farah: I mean, it was really hard without you, Keele.
Keele: Sorry...
Farah: No, no. You don't need to apologize. Everything is A-okay. Right?
Reid: So, what do we do next?
Farah: We have to find the Greater Fire Craymel, of course. ...In some really
hot place.
Sylph: Here! You can have the Aerialboard.
Sylph: It's one of the Craymel Artes.
Sylph: If you press [Square] at the Map screen, it's on the menu.
Sylph: It can travel over flat land, rivers and ocenas in any world where there
are Wind Craymels.
Sylph: Press [Square] if you want to walk again.
Keele: Are you suggesting we use the Aerialboard to find the Greater Fire
Craymel ourselves?
Sylph: You're a sharp one. I'll give this Arte to you. I wish you well. Bye
now!
Keele: It's hard to believe we now have Sylph's cooperation, too.
Meredy: We have two Greater Craymels. Now we can Fringe!
Keele: Fringe?
Meredy: Make new Craymel Arte!
Meredy: Except, it is no good if Greater Craymels are all in one Craymel Cage.
Meredy: Seperate the Greater Craymels, then Fringe! Give it a try.
Keele: I get it... Depending on how you combine Greater Craymels, different
Craymel Artes are formed.
Keele: If we find more Greater Craymels, we should try out different
combinations.
Farah: So if they aren't kept seperate, will the Craymel Artes that have
already formed become useless?
Meredy: You bet. Keep Greater Craymels divided. To be strong, that is the
secret.
Reid: Can you imagine how many different Craymel Artes can be formed by trying
different combinations?
Reid: Keele, you figure out the rest!
Keele: What's the Lv that appears when you view a Greater Craymel?
Meredy: Lv? ...Oh! You mean Level!
Meredy: If Greater Craymel gains experience and Level goes up, we can form many
more Craymel Artes.
Keele: That must mean... If we raise the Levels and then Fringe, we can form
more powerful Craymel Artes!
Meredy: You bet! Right, Reid?
Keele: It's no use asking Reid. All this stuff probably goes right over his
head.
Reid: Oh, yeah?!
===============================
City of Scorched Sand, Chambard
===============================
**Entrance**
Reid: Man, it's hot!
Keele: Chambard is famous for its exreme heat, but I never thought it'd be this
bad.
Farah: It seems silly to even be wearing clothes... Don't you think, Meredy?
Farah: Meredy, are you all right?!
Meredy: ...Meredy ...all right.
Farah: Is the climate in Celestia different from Inferia?
Meredy: It is a dark, cool world. Very cool.
Reid: I'm starting to wish I were there now.
Meredy: Celestia is nice place. You should visit.
Farah: Meredy! Don't faint on us!
Meredy: You bet...
============
Efreet Gorge
============
**Entrance**
Reid: Whew! It's hot here! There's no way we can stand this heat. It's too
intense!
Farah: You always give up way too easily! We'll find a way!
Reid: How?
Farah: Well, um...
Keele: Undine!!
Undine: So, you have arrived at Efreet Gorge...
Keele: Yes. We're here to find the Greater Fire Craymel. Can you help us get
through?
Undine: You cannot touch the fire?
Reid: We'd get burned.
Farah: Undine, aren't you hot?
Undine: Craymels can cross freely between the physical and spiritual worlds. We
do not feel heat.
Reid: Huh... How convenient.
Meredy: How lucky!
Keele: Undine, I thank you for helping us.
Meredy: Thank you!
Undine: I will use my power to protect you from the heat as long as I can.
Undine: But be careful. I can only suppress the heat. It may still be quite
hot.
Farah: Summoning Undine was a great idea, Keele!
Keele: Let's hurry. We don't know how long Undine's effects will last.
**Camp Scene**
Farah: Keele! Are you all right?
Keele: I... I'm fine.
Reid: Let's take a break.
Keele: Really! I'm fine!
Reid: I don't want to wind up carrying you.
Farah: I'm tired, too. We've been walking for ages. Let's rest!
Reid: Keele, are you weaker than you were back when we were kids?
Farah: Reid, I told you to quit it!
Farah: Keele has been busy with his studies, you know. It's natural for him to
get tired with all this sudden exertion.
Farah: Keele... are you really okay?
Keele: ...Heh. Boy, I'm pathetic. I've got Farah worrying about me again, like
I'm still a snot-nosed kid.
Farah: That's not true, Keel! I know you're not a kid anymore.
Meredy: You bet!
Meredy: Keele knows very many things! You are very, very wise but not perfect.
I can help. We are friends. Pals!
Farah: Right! Just like Meredy says! We all help each other. Nobody is good at
everything.
Keele: You've always been so nice, Farah. Always trying to help out strangers.
You weren't just a mean boss.
Farah: Really...? I don't know...
Farah: Hey, wait a minute Keele! Who was a mean boss?!
Keele: I... sorry, sorry!
Reid: As mighty as ever...
Keele: Strange. This door won't open.
Keele: There's something engraved on it...
Keele: Show the power of light, and the door will open.
Reid: The power... of light?
Undine: Even my powers are not enough to protect you from these flames.
Undine: Pass through quickly when the flames go out. Please be careful...
Reid: Oww! Sooo hot!
Farah: This heat is terrible!
Keele: Shh! The Greater Craymel should be around here somewhere...
[Efreet appears.]
Meredy: Eek!
Reid: Gasp!
Keele: Aaahhh!
Farah: Help!
Efreet: Reckless, foolish humans! Remember your place!
**After defeating Efreet**
Farah: Meredy! Be careful!
Efreet: Rahrr!! Come!!
Meredy: Baiba!!
Undine: Efreet, stop! How disgraceful...
Efreet: Undine... Have you become a slave to these humans?!
Undine: I entered the Craymel Cage of my own free will. Surely you must know
the situation...?
Efreet: I'm the Greater Fire Craymel! I can't simply leave and abandon my
duties here!
Undine: It is precisely because you are a Greater Craymel that we need you.
Undine: Raise the Craymel Cage!!
Efreet: Aaarghhh!!
Reid: Hey, wait a minute... Is it really okay to just force him in?!
Keele: Undine! Are you all right?
Reid: Wh... what? What's happening?
Farah: We're not getting punished, are we?
Meredy: Eek!!
[The Greater Light Craymel appears.]
Keele: You... you are... The Greater Light Craymel... Rem?!
Rem: That is correct.
Meredy: The greatest Greater Craymel?!
Keele: That's right. Rem is a Governing Craymel that unifies the three Primary
Craymels under her.
Farah: Rem, we have a favor to ask you! We would like you to stop the Grand
Fall!
Rem: That, I cannot do.
Keele: NO...
Rem: You, the humans alone, have caused this problem. It is a problem that must
be solved by humans.
Keele: Are you saying the Grand Fall is caused by humans?
Rem: Here. Take this.
[Party receives the Sorcerer's Ring.]
Rem: It's a Sorcerer's Ring!
Rem: Use the ring to cross the Bridge of Light.
Farah: The Bridge of Light?!
Keele: Rem, wait!! We have many more questions to ask!
Sylph: Ha ha! What's the matter?!
Keele: Where did Rem go?
Efreet: Who knows?
Farah: Is Rem in the Craymel Cage?
Sylph: Of course not! Don't you know? Rem is a Governing Craymel.
Keele: Undine!
Undine: Rem is no longer here. You must trust in what she said and continue
your duties.
Reid: Continue your duties? But...
Undine: Take very good care of the Sorcerer's Ring.
Keele: There's got to be a way to open these doors...
Farah: Keele, why don't we try the Sorcerer's Ring we just received?
Reid: Sure.
Keele: I suppose it's worth a try...
Meredy: Keele...?
Keele: Meredy! Did you know? The Grand Fall is the work of humans! You knew it,
didn't you?
Meredy: ...It was Balir.
Keele: Balir? Who exactly is that?
Meredy: Celestia's [something in Melnics]
Meredy: He is like a King. It is Balir who is behind the Grand Fall.
Farah: So the Celestians do want to destroy Eternia?
Keele: The Celestians... It was the Celestians after all... They were the
masterminds behind the Grand Fall!
Meredy: Not true! Balir did it all alone! Inferians and Celestians both in
danger!!
Keele: Oh yeah? So then why have you kept silent up til now?
Quickie: Kuweeekeee...
Meredy: ...I could not explain well. Was afraid... I am sorry! Please? Trust
me?
Reid: Say... Do all Celestians have dark skin and glass beads on their heads
like you?
Meredy: You bet... All have Elara.
Reid: Even Balir?
Meredy: ...No. Balir has none. His forehead is light. Like yours.
Reid: Say... do you remember the name of the man who crossed over to Celestia?
Farah: Umm... wasn't it...
Keele: Balir...?
Reid: Do you think that's just a coincidence?
Keele: It can't be!! The mastermind behind the Grand Fall is... Balir...? An
Inferian?!
Reid: I don't know... ...but I think it's too early to assume that the
Celestians are the bad guys.
Farah: Meredy... ...I believe in you. I trust you all the way.
Meredy: Thank you!
Reid: Well then, why don't we begin our search for the Bridge of Light?
Meredy: Reid...
Reid: No, all I meant was that we'll stick by you until we find the Bridge of
Light. I didn't mean anything serious...
Keele: ...Mt. Farlos.
Keele: The Bridge of Light is on Mt. Farlos.
Reid: How do you know, Keele?!
Keele: I heard it... at the Royal Observatory.
Reid: Good job!
Meredy: Keele... Thank you.
Keele: Let's just get going.
Keele: I dislike intuition and inferences. I need to confirm the cause of the
Grand Fall with my own eyes.
Farah: Okay! Let's head for Mt. Farlos. No problem!!
Meredy: I... I like you all... so much.
Quickie: Kuweekeee, kuweekeee!!
================
Farlos Sanctuary
================
**Entrance**
Keele: So this is the famous Mt. Farlos sanctuary, the birthplace of the
Seyfert's Teachings.
Reid: That is one BIG stained-glass window!
Keele: I gather it's a picture of the god of creation, Seyfert, descending from
the heavens.
Farah: Wow... it's breathtaking.
Keele: Let's rest first. Mountain climbing and exhaustion don't exactly mix
well.
Farah: Meredy...
Meredy: Hmm?
Farah: Celestia... What kind of place is it?
Meredy: It is very much darker than Inferia. Winds not blow, but very, very
cold.
Meredy: And... many many many machines!!
Keele: Machines? Are you telling me the technology is more advanced than
Inferia? That's impossible!
Meredy: It's true!
Keele: Well... we'll know when we get there. If we ever reach Celestia, we'll
know everything.
Reid: You all... are really planning on going to Celestia?
Farah: ...Reid, you're not... going?
Reid: Didn't you listen to Zosimos? That guy Balir... he crossed the Bridge of
Light and never came back!
Farah: But Meredy came to Inferia, so don't you think we can make it, too?
Reid: But even if we can make it to Celestia... It's a totally unknown world!
We don't know WHAT might happen!
Keele: That's exactly why I want to go.
Reid: Arrghh! Haven't you guys ever heard of better safe than sorry?
Meredy: Reid, let's go together. We need you.
Reid: GOODNIGHT!
Priest: Hold on there, young lady!
Farah: Who... me?
Priest: Yes. You have cured many with your healing powers, have you not...?
Farah: Well, I can't just leave them there.
Priest: Seyfert is ever watching your actions from above.
Priest: You will be granted a new divine skill.
Farah: Really? I'd better be thankful to Seyfert!
[Farah learns Life.]
Priest: May Seyfert's blessing be upon you...
==========
Mt. Farlos
==========
**Entrance**
Farah: Even up close like this...
Reid: It's tall!
Reid: Keele, are you all right?
Keele: All right what?
Reid: It's pretty steep. Do you think you're tough enough to make it?
Keele: The legendary Bridge of Light is up there! I'm going, and that's all
there is to it!
Reid: Well... hang in there.
Farah: Okay, let's go!
Reid: ...Are we all okay?
Reid: Hey! Are you all right?
Reid: Do you hurt anywhere? Can you understand me?
Meredy: Meredy was so scared!
Keele: ...Where's Farah?
Reid: Farah!
Meredy: Quickie, do you smell Farah?
Quickie: Kwee...
Meredy: Doesn't look like she's here...
Reid: Farah! Farah!
Keele: Hey, that's enough! All you're doing is attracting monsters!
Reid: If we don't hurry up and find her, Farah could be attacked by monsters,
too!
Keele: Well, then don't just run around like an idiot. Let's figure this out
logically, all right?
Reid: Yeah... okay.
**Flashback**
Farah: Wait, wait!
Farah: Reid? Keele? Where are you? Come back!
?: Farah...
Farah: That voice... Ras?
?: Farah... Thank goodness...
Farah: Ras... Is it you, Ras?
Meredy: Reid?
Keele: What's the matter?
Reid: Huh? Oh, I dunno... I'm just getting a bad feeling...
Keele: Don't be stupid! I'm sure she's fine! It's Farah we're talking about
here, remember?
Reid: Yeah... I guess you're right.
Reid: Who knows? She might be waiting for us at the top already.
Meredy: Yeah, Meredy bet she is!
Keele: *Gasp!*
Reid: Do you see her?!
Keele: Look at this volcanic rock!
Keele: See how the Craymel Stone element in it is a swirl pattern? This is an
extremely rare form! It's the first time I've seen a speciman like this in
person!
Reid: Hey! We're looking for Farah, remember?!
Reid: Yo, Keele!
Keele: It's Farah!
Keele & Meredy: Farah!!
Farah: Reid! Keele! Meredy!! You're all okay!!
Reid: Never mind us! What about you?
Farah: Look who saved me!
Keele: Isn't that the guy from Sylph Cavern...?
Reid: Yeah, it's that merchant, Ras.
Meredy: Ras! You're back?
Farah: We ran into each other coincidentally! Ras just happened to be on the
mountain!
Keele: Coincidentally, huh...
Reid: How do we get over there?
Ras: It doesn't look like you can with this terrain condition!
Ras: Let's all head for the top! The paths should meet up there!
Reid: How can you be so sure?
Ras: I come up here all the time to dig up ancient treasures!
Farah: Don't worry about me! We'll meet you at the top!
Keele: Doesn't that guy seem awfully suspicious?
Reid: Anyway... We'd better head for the top...
Keele: Right.
Ras: Watch out!
Farah: Sorry! I tripped.
Ras: Your leg must still be hurting... Shall we take a break?
Farah: No, I'm fine. Really. The fate of the world depends on this little
adventure. I've go to keep going.
Ras: Farah, why are you so determined?
Ras: You're a talented martial artist. And I admire the unselfish way you're
devoting yourself to helping the world.
Ras: But... You are just a commoner.
Ras: Even if you're right about the Greater Craymels being able to stop the
Grand Fall, it's still the Empire's responsibility. You shouldn't get so
involved.
Farah: We went to the King first, but nobody believed us. So we decided that we
had to do something on our own!
Ras: So you don't mind if you end up as an enemy of the Empire and get killed?
Farah: Of course not! This is for the good of everyone! It's the right thing to
do!
Farah: Am I... strange?
Ras: Uh... No. It's just that I never met anyone who thinks like you.
Farah: So I am weird then. Is that it?
Ras: Maybe a little. But that's also what makes you fascinating...
Farah: Don't look at me like I'm some kind of rare animal!
Ras: I'm sorry. I'm in no position to psychoanalyze you or anything. Don't take
it to heart, okay?
Reid: Whew! We've come a long way!
Meredy: Whew! Meredy is beat!
Reid: Guess we'll rest.
Keele: Okay.
Reid: Keele, why are you quiet?
Keele: Why should I speak without reason?
Reid: I'm just concerned. I thought you might be fatigued.
Keele: I don't need you worrying about me.
Keele: What about you? You've gotten quiet yourself since Farah disappeared.
Meredy: That is true. Reid is much more quiet.
Reid: That's got nothing to do with this!
Keele: That guy Ras, he's a handsome guy...
Reid: I guess so...
Keele: Very graceful gentleman... Almost a regal quality to him...
Keele: I suppose a hot-tempered girl like Farah needs an older, more
experienced man of the world.
Reid: Why are you looking at me like that?!
Meredy: Why is Reid so angry now?
Reid: I... I... I'm not angry! It's just that Keele is... He's... Aw! Forget
it!
Keele:
Reid: AAAAAAGH!! SHUT UP!!
Meredy: ...Reid is angry.
Ras: When did you first meet your Celestian friend?
Farah: You mean Meredy?
Ras: Hmm? Yes, her.
Ras: Did you really run into Meredy purely by chance?
Farah: Yeah, completely by chance. I mean... literally... she just dropped
right out of the sky!
Farah: It was wild. Her flying ship blew up, and we couldn't even communicate
with her at first...
Ras: So you believed her right from the start, even though you couldn't
understand what she was saying? Why do you believe her?
Farah: I don't know why, exactly...
Farah: Do I have to have a reason to believe her?
Ras: If you believe everyone discriminately, you'll get hurt someday. But
ironically, you can't live without believing in someone.
Ras: That's the paradox of believing in others. Don't you think?
</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
Farah: What about you, Ras? Do you believe in someone?
Ras: I believe in... my mother.
Farah: Your mother?
Ras: She died when I was little... but...
Farah: What was she like? Will you describe her to me?
Ras: She was a wonderful person...
Ras: *Cough* ...Excuse me. I'm talking nonsense. We should get going.
Keele: There are ropes here that somebody must have left.
Reid: Too bad we can't reach them.
Quickie: Kwee, kweeekeee!!
Meredy: Quickie! Will you go for us?
Quickie: Kweeekeee!
Meredy: If Meredy says There, check the area. If Meredy says Now, try to climb,
okay?
Quickie: Kweeekeee!!
Meredy: And jump when Meredy says Go. Okay, Quickie?
Quickie: Kwee kweeekeee!!
Reid: Does Quickie really understand? ...I guess we have no choice but to rely
on Quickie.
Quickie: Kweeekeee!!
Keele: There it is! I see the summit!!
Meredy: Is Farah there?
Reid: She'd better be!
Meredy: There she is! Farah!!
Meredy: We found you, Farah!
Farah: I'm sorry for making you worry!
Farah: We're back together again!
Keele: I'm glad you're okay.
Reid: We thought you were a goner!
Farah: Same goes here! I had Ras with me, so I had nothing to worry about.
Keele: So you're Ras? I'm Keele. I'm a student at Mintche University.
Keele: We're indebted to you for saving Farah.
Ras: No need to thank me.
Keele: Well, we must part with Ras now and continue forward. Shall we move on?
Meredy: Let Ras help us! Ras has amazing Fibrill!
Keele: What lies ahead is our problem. Ras isn't involved in this!
Farah: But Ras is involved now!
Ras: That's okay, Farah. Actually, I saw an interesting spot on the way up
here. Let us part now.
Ras: I'm sure we'll meet again someday, just like we did today.
Farah: ...I hope we do. Thank you for everything!
Ras: Well, if you will excuse me, I'll be on my way.
[Ras leaves.]
Meredy: We need the... Fibrill.
Keele: Huh? This door won't open...
**Stone Sanctum**
Reid: I don't see any bridge around here!
Meredy: Baiba! Meredy's Craymel Cage is glowing!!
Keele: Mine too. It seems to be resonating...
Keele: Meredy! Come over here!! ...Be careful though.
Meredy: You bet.
Farah: Both of you, be careful!
Keele: There! That's good. Now, on the cound of three, we place our hands on
the stone monument.
Keele: On the count of three, okay? You got it?
Meredy: Meredy got it! Meredy is not stupid!
Keele: ...Hmph! Well, here we go. One, two...
Meredy: Three!!
Farah: Keele! Meredy!
Reid: What's going on?!
Meredy: Aaah! Meredy melt in the light!
Keele: Don't... worry... If that journal is correct... ...there should be...
Reid: Rem?!
Rem: You must be prepared to cross over to the other world. There's no
returning from the Bridge of Light. Do you understand?
Farah: Of course! We've made up our minds!
Keele: Rem! Please allow us to cross the Bridge of Light!
Keele: This is it! This is the Bridge of Light!
Reid: It's really... just a light.
Keele: That's right. If we go into the light, the path to Celestia will reveal
itself.
Keele: That's what it said in the research journal that Balir left.
Meredy: The Bridge of Light! Yay! Meredy can go back to Celestia!!
Ras: Hold it! I can't allow you to go any further.
Farah: Ras?!
Meredy: What's... wrong?
Keele: What's the meaning of this?
Ras: As an Imperial Knight, I cannot allow Celestia to have such power.
Reid: Imperial Knight?
Ras: My name is Rassius. I am the Senior Knight of the Inferia Empire, Rassius
Luine!
Farah: You're... not... serious...
Keele: I thought you seemed suspicious, but I never would have guessed you to
be that renowned Senior Knight!
Ras: You're just as famous as I am! The traitor, Keele Zeibel!
Reid: A traitor? Keele, just what did you do at the Observatory?
Ras: He burned Balir's research journal on the Bridge of Light. But the
information is all right there in his head.
Farah: Keele... Is that why you stayed behind at the Observatory?
Reid: So you've been tailing us all along, haven't you, Ras?!
Ras: That may be the way it turned out, but that's not exactly right.
Meredy: Compass Key?
Ras: I was simply being guided by this Seyfert Key, entrusted to me by the
King.
Keele: I've read somewhere that since the founding of the Empire, a Compass Key
was kept at the castle as an Imperial treasure.
Ras: Exactly. This key, which has always remained silent, started to point to a
particular location a few months ago.
Ras: Under the King's orders, I've been investigating what the Seyfert Key was
trying to tell us.
Ras: And during my investigation, I ran into you again and again. Is this
merely a coincidence?
Keele: What are you trying to say?
Ras: What you are doing is a threat to the peace of the Empire. The Seyfert Key
has been tring to warn us of that.
Ras: That is the obvious conclusion.
Farah: But listen, Ras!
Farah: The reason we're going to Celestia is to stop the Grand Fall. This is
also to protect Inferia!
Farah: You've got to believe us!
Ras: I believe in the word of the King! No you commoners!
Farah: I'm sorry it has to be like this, Ras...
Farah: But, if you're not going to move out of our way, we'll MAKE you move!
Ras: Face me!
Ras: Urg...!
Keele: This is not good. His reinforcements are comnig this way!
Meredy: Everyone go! Hurry! Hurry!
Keele: Cross the Bridge of Light!
Reid: Are you serious? I... I'm not ready!
?: There they are! Get them!
Reid: Oh man!
Reid: Come on, Farah!
Farah: ...Okay! Let's go!!
Meredy: We're finally here!
Keele: This is... Celestia!
Meredy: Hwee!! Celestia. Meredy born here, grow up here.
Keele: And that's Inferia above. ...It makes me dizzy.
Meredy: From Celestia, it's Inferia that is the upside-down world.
Reid: Wow...
Keele: The colors of the sky and the sea are both different from Inferia.
Keele: The sun is dark... ...and there's no wind.
Keele: But the greatest difference is... the air! The air feels different from
that of Inferia!!
Meredy: Just like the Craymel scholar. You are correct!
Keele: ...That's it! The Craymels are different!! Are the Craymels that reside
in Inferia and Celestia different?!
Meredy: You bet! Correct!!
Keele: ...Meredy!
Keele: You really ARE a... ...a Celestian!
Meredy: Whaaat?! I've said that so many times! You did not believe?!
Keele: How could I believe it until I...
Keele: I stood on the very ground.
Reid: Hey...
Reid: Are we... going to spend the rest of our lives here?
Keele: Reid! I can't believe you! We've come all the way to Celestia and that's
all you can say?
Farah: Why did we come here? I...
Farah: Oh, it's nothing... it's just that... we've come so far...
Meredy: Tired bodies must rest. Let's go to the Town of Imen. All will be
welcomed.
Meredy: Imen, the place where Meredy grew up. A nice place.
Keele: Even if it's your hometown, we are Inferians. ...Will we be okay?
Meredy: Not matter. No worries!
Keele: Well... Staying put isn't going to help us any. Let's go.
Meredy: Hwee!!
Reid: Are you okay?
Farah: Huh?! What? I'm okay! This is only the beginning! It's no time to be
down.
