[In a large house, a girl walks into a man's room.]
Nancy: "You have work today, and you're still in bed! Practice is starting any
minute now!"
STAY IN BED
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Leave me alone... Just 5 more minutes......mumble...mumble...."
Nancy: "Get out of bed RIGHT NOW!!!!!"
Lang: "Groan....! Whaddaya want? It's early... Can't you see I'm
still sleeping...?"
LEAP OUT OF BED IN A PANIC
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Gasp!! Wha, wha??? I'm up! What's happening!? Whuh...whah....
....hunh??"
WAKE UP NORMALLY
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Groan....! Whaddaya want? It's early... Can't you see I'm
still sleeping...?"
Nancy: "Have you forgotten that today is your first day on the job?!? You're
impossible! Everyone's waiting for you!"
[Lang exits to where some men are practicing swordplay. Nancy pushes him out.]
Nancy: "Shoo! Can you move any slower!? Good lord!"
Galvan: "And he's up... Good! Stoppppp!! That's enough for today. We have a
new member starting today... Hey! Introduce yourself!"
INTRODUCE YOURSELF
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "I'll be joining you from today... My name is Lang. I look
forward to working with all of you. Oop!"
Galvan: "While you were in dreamland, you missed all of today's
practice session! Moving along. Aston and Edouard! You wait
here in town! Marcus and Dein, you do the usual. Patrol
Hunter's Wood!"
Dien: "Tsk."
Galvan: "Back to your quarters, and get ready! ........ And you,
Lang! You come to see me when you're ready. Got that? That's
it! Now go!!"
ACT COOL
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Yo, what's up. Guess I'm stuck with you guys from now on. You
can call me Lang. This should be pretty cool. Ow!"
Galvan: "Lose the attitude! Is that the way you act toward your
superiors?"
INTRODUCTIONS ARE LAME
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Sorry, man. I just don't feel like dealing with that kind of
stuff today. Ow!"
Galvan: "You will be respectful! Don't waste our time with your
childish games. Now, introduce yourself!"
Lang: "...I'm Lang. Come on, can we get this over with? Ow!"
Galvan: "You listen to me! With anything you do, how you begin is very
important! You remember that!"
Lang: "Ow!"
Galvan: "Is your brain still in sleepyland? You little punk!"
Galvan: "Moving along. Aston and Edouard! You wait here in town! Marcus and
Dein, you do the usual. Patrol Hunter's Wood!"
Dien: "Tsk."
Galvan: "Back to your quarters, and get ready! ........ And you, Lang! You come
to see me when you're ready. Got that? That's it! Now go!!"
[He goes to see Galvan.]
Galvan: "Lang!! Late from Day One! What are you thinking?"
Lang: "Ow!"
Galvan: "...tsk! You pull something like that tomorrow, and there will be no
supper for you! ...Never thought I'd see the day that I'd be working
with you. That little snot-nosed kid is now a little musketeer wannabe
...you're all grown up. Nancy, on the other hand, has grown up rude and
brusque...probably form living with all these fellas. She should act a
little more ladylike....really.... Anyway, never mind that."
Hawke: "Lang, come here. You're an adult now, and a Vigilance Corps member.
Once you have a job, it means that you must be a responsible member of
society. All life in this town depends on the bounty provided by the
lake. The lake is always pure and fresh... Because that stone keeps it
so. The Aqualith... That mysterious rock sustains the life of this town.
We must never forget our gratitude! Not just for the lake, but for
Hunter's Wood, the sky, everything!"
Galvan: "That's right, Dad. So work hard, and don't forget to be grateful!
That's the point! Never forget that, Lang! Today we're patrolling
Hunter's Wood! You're coming with us, so get all your stuff ready!
Once you're ready, come to the town gates. Dein and Marcus are already
there, so look for them. What are you waiting for?"
Lang: "Yes, I understand."
[He goes to the town gates.]
Nancy: "Lang!!! Lang!!! Gosh, hurry up! You're the new kid, and you act like
you own teh place! It's your first day. Did you get everything you need?
I'M READY
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Yeah, I'm ready to go."
I NEED MORE TIME
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Er...No, I just have a few more..."
Nancy: "What! What are you doing? Everyone's waiting for you! Hurry,
get yourself together!"
Nancy: "Are you sure? I bet you don't have medicines and stuff on you!"
System: Acquired Heal Powder and Poison Cure.
BE GRATEFUL
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Hey, thanks for everything."
Nancy: "Huh... What's gotten into you? I'm just...making sure you
don't cause problems for everyone else! I wasn't expecting a
'thank you'.
GET ANNOYED BY HER NAGGING
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Don't treat me like a kid. I'm a grown man!"
Nancy: "Right. You're so grown-up and independent, Lang. A grown-up
who can't wake up by himself and is late for his first day of
work! *giggle* Just a matter of self-perception."
Galvan: "Everyone here? Good. Here we go!"
Nancy: "Oh, Lang! Don't overexert yourself! If you get hurt, come back and
rest for a bit, okay? .....Now get going! Good luck, Lang!"

[The team enters the forest nearby.]
Galvan: "You've never been here before, have you, Lang? This is Hunter's Wood.
The people of Nohl depend on this forest and its living creatures for
sustenance. Look at all of that wonderful greenery! Breath in that
fresh air! It's beautiful, isn't it? But you've got to be careful...
It may look peaceful, but there are monsters in this forest! And that's
where we come in. But relax. The monsters around here aren't much of a
threat. No need to get too worked up about it."
Dein: "Oh, I don't know about that. He has trouble killing weeds. A rookie like
him might get eaten right away. Yeah, I can see that happening..."
I DON'T WANT TO DIE!
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Don't scare me like that, Dein. I'm not ready to die yet."
Dien: "What?! Listen to this coward! I hate to think that I'm in the
same Vigilance Corps with this guy. You wuss! Why don't you just
run along home?"
REPLY MODESTLY
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Galvan: "Leave him alone, Dein. Remember you first time? You were shaking in
your boots."
Dein: "Me?! No way! Captain, come on! I wasn't scared!"
Galvan: "Yeah, well... If you say so."
Dein: "Damn right! Look, Captain. We're going on up ahead."
Dein: "Come on, Marcus. Let's make this a quick trip - in and out!"
Galvan: *sigh* "What a guy. Well, follow me, Lang. I'll give you a few pointers
on what we do here."
System: Galvan has joined the party.
[They find a monster to fight.]
Lang: "Galvan!!"
Galvan: "Don't panic, now! This is the perfect chance to teach you how to
fight. All right, Lang! Let's start with the basics. Try choosing
BATTLE first. Now, then! Choose ATTACK next! The last step is to
choose the target! You're finished, huh? All right. Now it's my turn.
Right, then! When you're ready, choose BEGIN! Did you get hit? Here!
Have some medicine."
System: Galvan gave Lang some Heal Powder.
Galvan: "Leave the enemy to me! You use the medicine. First of all, choose
BATTLE! To use the medicine, choose the ITEM command! Good! Now use
the Heal Powder! All right, then! Leave the rest up to me! Right, then!
When you're ready, choose BEGIN! Good thing these enemies weren't much
of a threat! You didn't do too badly for your first time."
[They get into another fight.]
Galvan: "These monsters look tougher than the last ones! Now's the time to
teach you some Arts! Do just as I tell you, and you'll be fine. First,
choose the BATTLE command! Good! Next, choose the ATTACK command!
Ready!? I'll teach you the most basic Art. Enter RIGHT--DOWN--RIGHT!
System: Blue Moon Buster--Normal Art--Enter -> v ->
Blue Moon Buster is a Normal Art.
A Normal Art is an attack that raises AP.
Galvan: "That's it, you got it! Now choose the target! All right. Now it's my
turn. Now, time to choose BEGIN! Great job! OK, time to learn another
Art! Choose BATTLE! Good, next choose the ATTACK command! This Art is
even more powerful than the last one! Enter RIGHT--LEFT--RIGHT!
System: Sandstorm--Super Art--Enter -> <- ->
Sandstorm is a Super Art. Super Arts do more damage, but they use AP
when you use them.
Galvan: "Next, choose the target! Now it's my turn! Now, time to choose BEGIN!
Well done! There are lots of other Arts. Try out lots of combos and try
to find them on your own. Well then! Let's start on all those Klaw Ants
crawling around. We're off, Lang! We've taken care of all the Klaw Ants
here. Why don't we try someplace else?"
[After awhile...]
Galvan: "Looks like we took care of them for now. Let's join the others over
there and head on home. ?! Marcus!!"
Marcus: "C-Captain! Dein...! He's in there..." *groan* "That thing...! Never
seen...anything like it!"
Galvan: "Shh. Don't talk now. He's in bad shape. Lang! I'm going to bring
Marcus back to town. We've got to get him some help right away. Or
else...he isn't going to make it. Dein's still somewhere in the forest.
You look for him. When you find him, bring him on back to town. I want
you both back safe. You hear me? Now get out there and find him."
System: Galvan has left the party.
Lang: ?! "Dein!!"
Dein: "Damn! Here comes that good-for-nothing kid. Hey, where are the others?"
Lang: "Marcus is hurt really bad. Galvan took him back to town."
Dein: "So that's it, huh? Went off and left me, did they? It figures..."
*cough*
Lang: "Dein!! Here, lean on me! Come on! I'll help you back to town."
Dein: "Leave me alone! I don't need your help!" *groan* *cough*
Lang: "Dein...!!"
Dein: "Ack! Here comes a big one. And hurt the way I am, I can't even run.
Looks like I'm the one holding you back... Save yourself, Lang. Get away
while you still can!" *groan* "Hey...! What are you...? What do you think
you're doing? Cut it out!"
[A large Gather Crab appears. Lang cuts off its claws.]
Lang: "Now! Hahh! How was that! Haaaaah!!! Yaaaahhhh! Did I do it?"
[Lang kills it.]
Dein: "...Hey, kid... Give me a hand, will you? But let's get this straight,
Lang... You listening...? *cough* *groan* ...Don't go thinking I owe you
or nothing. I could have taken that moster if I wanted to. Easy! *cough*

[Galvan and Lang watch Dein as he rests.]
Galvan: "....First Marcus, and then even Dein... Hey, Lang, that big monster
you were talking about...did you really take it down yourself?"
ANSWER HONESTLY
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "It was a challenge, but I got through it somehow!"
Garvan: "...Good work... I would have liked to see that. ...Which
means we can all sleep easy tonight. Lang, you must be tired.
Go back to your room and rest."
BRAG ABOUT YOUR SUCCESS
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Leave it to me! I can handle a monster that size!"
Garvan: "Don't let your ego get the better of you, you little punk!
You were lucky this time, but one small mistake and you could
be dead meat! ...Tsk! But I'm glad you escaped with only minor
injuries. Good work, Lang. Keep it up...now go to bed early.
You have to do it again tomorrow."
[Lang returns to his room and has a nightmare.]
Lang: "Uggg.....ugggheggghhhe!!! Where am I...?
Crowd: "We must not allow the ones with the marks to live! Kill the Mystics!
They're monsters!! You Mystic!! You cursed creature! Foul monster!
Everybody! There must be some still left somewhere!! Find them!! Where
are they? Find those Mystics!! It's all because YOU were here!! Look at
what you've done...! ...Done to my town...! Hey! Look at the mark on
his chest!! He's one of them! He's a Mystic, too! Aaaaaahh! Get him!!
Kill him!!"
Lang: "................!"
Nancy:" Lang!! Lang!! Are you okay?"
[Lang wakes up.]
Nancy: "What happened? You were thrashing around."
Lang: "Was that...a dream? It felt so real... I can still remember it... What
was that...?"
Nancy: "What are you mumbling about? If you don't get in the habit of leaving
the past behind, you won't last long at this job. If you know what you
need to do, do it! Sleep now, and sleep till you need to get up!"
Lang: (That scene in the dream... Where was that? I've never seen that town
before... Something about 'Mystic'.... What was that about...?)
[He goes to the lodge's dining room.]
Garvan: "Lang, you're early today. Nancy isn't done making breakfast yet. Have
a seat."
Monde: "Captain!! It's an emergency!!"
[They go to the gates.]
Jill: "My husband...will my husband be all right?"
Garvan: "...This is....very severe. I'll need to get Dad on this. .......What
happened.....? Monde...."
Monde: "...A strange man in Hunter's Wood...out of nowhere...Boerto... No...
that was no...it was not a man, it was...a demon..."
Galvan: "Nancy!! Nancy, Aston, you take care of the rest. Edouard!! Here we
go!!"
Edouard: "Go....where?"
Galvan: "Where do you think, eh?! Hunter's Wood!! Lang...You..."
WAIT FOR GALVAN'S INSTRUCTIONS
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Galvan: "Something smells really fishy here. Lang, you stay here.
Just in case something happens... ...All right. Good luck!"
STAY HERE
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: (I wouldn't be of any use even if I did go with them anyway...)
Galvan: "I'd let you tag along, but the enemy is pretty bad this time.
Stop pouting! You'll make everyone feel bad... Just stay here.
We're counting on you!"
[They leave.]
Nancy: "Hey! Lang!! What are you doing just standing there?! Come on, hold
that!!"
[Later, in the lodge.]
Jill: "...Oh god...."
Nancy: "Don't worry about Mr. Boerto... He may not look it, but Grandpa Hawke
was an excellent doctor once! Lang!! You killed that monster yesterday
in Hunter's Wood, right?"
Lang: "I don't know...why...how this could have happened..."
Nancy: "Good grief!! Are you or are you not an official member of the Vigilance
Corps? It's your job to protect the town from monsters and other
dangers! You are in no position to say you don't know!!!!"
Aston: "Come on, Nancy. Lang just started yesterday. You shouldn't be so hard
on him."
Nancy: "I know that!! But still..."
Hawke: "...Sigh... It's been ages since my last operation."
Jill: "Mr. Hawke!! My husband... Is my husband..."
Hawke: "He'll be fine, he'll live. ...He should stay in bed for a while, but
he should be okay."
Jill: "Sob....Mr. Hawke, thank you so much!"
Hawke: "A wound that serious may not have been caused by the usual monsters in
the area... I see Galvan has gone out there... I hope that he is safe."
GO TO HUNTER'S WOOD
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Aston, I' going to Hunter's Wood to check it out!!"
Nancy: "Lang!! Weren't you told to wait in town? Of course.... I'm
worried about Father and everyone else, but I won't let you act
selfishly!"
Aston: "...Fine. Lang, I'll take care of things on this end. You go and
help out the leader and the rest of them."
Nancy: "Aston!!"
WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS A WHILE LONGER
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Aston!!"
Aston: "Lang, go to Hunter's Wood."
Nancy: "Aston!!"
Aston: "You're worried about the Leader, right? I'll take care of the
town - go on."
Nancy: "Wait!! Lang! If you're going, make sure you prepare wel! Okay?? About
Father... We're counting on you."

[Lang finds Eduoard near where he fought the Gather Crab.]
Lang: ?! "Edouard...!! Edouard? It's too late... Galvan!! ...?!"
Galvan: "...La, Lang... Why...didn't...you..."
[The mysterious man throws him against a tree.]
Galvan: "...run---!"
[Lang's blows do nothing.]
Lang: "What the...I know I hit him..."
Gold Eyes: "Ggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......"
Lang: "Whoa! Wha..... D-demon."
Gold Eyes: "No, not a demon. It is the pure embodiment of power.... Origin."
Lang: "Ori...gin...?"
Gold Eyes: "You and I are of the same breed. You should know what that mark on
your chest means!"
Lang: "The same race?! You and me?"
Gold Eyes: "That's right. The same race. That's why you have that mark, too.
It's proof you're one of us, the chosen ones, a Mystic! And now I
ask you... Have you seen a stone that looks like this?"
Lang: "Hey, that stone..." (A lake everlasting, pure as crystal... we have the
Aqualith for that...)
Gold Eyes: "The lake...in town...is it? That's quite near."
Lang: "H-Hey! Wait! Where do you think you're going...?"
Gold Eyes: "To the town in your thoughts. There's a sacred stone there that
I've been looking for. When I get the final sacred stone, the old
race will perish! And it will be the dawn of the new era at last!"
Lang: (The town is in danger! What should I do...?)
Gold Eyes: "Are you going to try and stop me? Don't even think about it. I
wouldn't want to have to kill one of my own race."
Lang: "Yeah, you're right. I probably wouldn't have much of a chance of
winning...against a monster like you!"
Gold Eyes: "A monster? You call me...a monster?
[Flashback: some village, where Gold Eyes is a kid.]
Gold Eyes: (My people! Killed mercilessly... Just because we have power...!)
[End flashback.]
Gold Eyes: "You... You say the same things those humans did...! Exactly the
same!
[Origin attacks Lang.]
Lang: "Oof! Argh!! Aiee!!"
Gold Eyes: "Why... You killed him...? He's one of my own race."
Igohl: "This man... He's the one that holds the power of Galea."
Gold Eyes: "Galea...?"
Igohl: "If you let him live, he'll only get in our way."
Gold Eyes: "You think this man could get in my way? Nothing could be a threat
to my power. Impossible.
[He leaves.]
Lang: W-wait...! Im not letting you get away...!"
[Somewhere, perhaps in a dream, Gold Eyes stands before some crystals.]
Gold Eyes: "Hey... Wake...up...,you..........!"
??????: Who...is it...?
Gold Eyes: "...Soon, it shall begin...!"

[Lang wakes up in Nohl.]
Lang: "..........!!..."
Nancy: "Lang!! Lang!! Lang!! Lang!! You're awake!? !! I have to get Father!"
Lang: (...What happened? I thought... That monster!... My chest!...... Not a
scratch on me...... Whas it... Was I dreaming?......)
Garvan: "Lang!!" *sniff*... "If you had died...I don't know what we would've
done..." *sniff*... "I'm so glad!"
Lang: ".............Galvan...I........"
Galvan: "Aston got to Hunter's Wood just in time. But too late for Edouard,
unfortunately........"
Nancy: "I can't believe you've been asleep for 5 days! We couldn't find any
wounds, but you wouldn't wake up at all..........You don't know how
worried we were! You must be starving, right? Of course you are,
sleeping all this time! I'll go make you something right now!"
Galvan: "H-Hey!! It's too soon for you to be walking, boy! You don't look
injured, but that doesn't mean there's nothing wrong with you. Take it
easy and rest up."
[Lang goes to the lake.]
Lang: !! "The Aqualith..."
Galvan: "I wanted to break the news to you later, but I guess since you've
seen it already... While you were unconscious, the man from Hunter's
Wood showd up and stole the Aqualith from the lake."
Hawke: "Our life here depended on the Aqualith... Without it... We are
through..."
Galvan: "The Corps is in shambles, the Aqualith's gone...... What're we
supposed to do now? The future sure isn't looking too bright..."
[The next morning...]
Lang: (What can I do?... What could I possibly hope to achieve?)
GET BACK THE AQUALITH!
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: (But if I could only get the stone...!! I might be able to save
the town!... But... Do I have any chance of winning? Against a man
with such powers? Against that monster!?... Just... Just sitting
here isn't going to accomplish anything!...... I'm going!!!!) "I
don't know if I can get it back, but I'm going after the
Aqualith!!!)
I DON'T KNOW...
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: (What IS there for me to do?... I don't have that kind of power...
But, could it be possible? Me, take back the Aqualith from such a
monster?...... Just... Just sitting here isn't going to accomplish
anything!...... I'm going!!!!) "I don't know if I can get it back,
but I'm going after the Aqualith!!!
[Lang goes to leave town.]
Nancy: "Lang!! Where do you think you're off to, all by yourself and so early
in the morning!?"
..........
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "...................."
Galvan: "You've always been as easy to read as an open book. You're
going after that man, aren't you, Lang?... No doubt I should
be the one to go... But I'm not going to be much use like this!
But you... Perhaps... Go!! You have my blessing, boy!"
BE HONEST
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "I'm gonna get it back!... I'm going to track down that man and
bring back the Aqualith!"
Galvan: "Finally, you wake up, and now...... You really are a piece of
work, boy! Nothing I say will stop you... Will it, Lang?
.........Go... Go do what you must!"
MAKE SOMETHING UP
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "N, nothing... It's just that I woke up a little earlier than
usual, that's all."
Galvan: "You of all people, sleepyhead? Haaa, ha, ha, ha! That's a good
one! Had trouble falling asleep, didn't you, Lang? Thinking
about that man?"
Lang: "...................."
Galvan: "I know very well how you feel... You've made up your mind,
haven't you? You're going after the Aqualith!"
Nancy: "Father! Wait!!? I thought you were going to stop him!! And YOU!! He
wasn't...human! He was a monster!! How can you possibly hope to win!?"
Galvan: "Nancy....... It's not a matter of win or lose. There are times when a
man just can't back down. You must try and understand that."
Nancy: "B-But.......!"
Galvan: "Lang, take this sword with you."
System: Acquired Hammer Blade
Galvan: "It's old, but the blade still packs a punch! It's not much of a
parting gift for such an undertaking but I hope it proves useful.
...You should also take this Wind Talisman with you. I heard from Aston
that the man went towards Gale Canyon. You'll need this to pass through
there."
System: Acquired Wind Talisman
Galvan: "Now don't you worry about the town, you hear?... I might be in
trouble, but leave it to me to hold down the fort while you're gone!"
Nancy: "Father!! *SIGH*...... Men...... Go do what you have to do! But... You'd
better promise you'll be back! If you...don't come back...I'll...I'll
NEVER forgive you..."
Galvan: "......I'll be waiting for you, boy!! Godspeed!......"

Lang: (The winds have...stopped. I wonder if it has anything to do with the
Wind Talisman...?)
[On a ridge, some travelers look out.]
Bubba: "Hey! Are we really goin' through here, Elliott?"
Elliott: "Yes. That's the only place we haven't searched yet. What's the
matter, Bubba?"
Marienne: "Don't tell me you're scared? For a big, brawly guy, you sure are a
wuss sometimes. Hee hee hee!"
Elliott: "It's not his fault, Marienne. After all, he's not a Mystic like us."
Marienne: "Hee hee hee hee! You're right of course, my brother. He may be big,
but he's just a regular human! And that nasty, little pet of yours!
What do you call it? Elfa...Elfin...?"
Bubba: (Pet!? Elfin's not just a pet! Oh, now you crossed the line! You're
gonna get it, you little pig! I'll make you pay someday!)
Marienne: "Hmm? You've got something you want to say, Bubba? I didn't think
so. Well, go on! Start searching!"
Elliott: "My sister and I are tired. If you find a Mystic, come back here and
get us, OK?"
Bubba: (Oh, just you wait! You think you can push me around! I'm gonna get you
two! One of these days...POW!)
Marienne: "Didn't you hear my brother?! I certainly hope you haven't forgotten
who saved you from a life in the dungeons, hmmm? Then again, maybe
you want to go back to that smelly hole? Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Bubba: "Come on, Elfin!"
[A ways in, Lang fights Elfin, who appears out of nowhere, and wins.]
Bubba: "WHA...AAAHHHHHH! My beautiful... My dearest...EEELLFIIIINNN!"
Lang: "I'm sorry... I was only trying to defend myself..."
Bubba: "...Elfin... Why you...I'm gonna...I'm gonna...kill you for this!
EEELLFIIINNN!"
Marienne: "DON'T YOU DARE! That boy there... He has the mark."
Elliott: "Ohoooo...? I never expected to find a Mystic way out here... How
fortunate we are, Marienne!"
Marienne: "So true, my brother, so very true! What's the matter, Bubba? What
happened to your little beasty? Ha ha ha! Don't tell me it's dead?
That's why you're crying?! Ha ha ha ha! Bubba, you're such a wuss!"
Bubba: "AARRGGGHH! I can't take it anymore! You little pig! I ought to...!"
Marienne: "Hmmm? What's this now? I don't think I like your attitude...I don't
think you understand your position. You don't ever, ever, talk to me
like that..."
Elliott: "My apologies, dearest sister. My underling seems to have forgotten
his place. He can be quite uncouth at times. But enough of that...
That mark on your chest... You're a Mystic, aren't you, young man?
You're just like Marienne and I! Surely you can see that we're
nothing like that lowly human cowering over there, can't you?"
Marienne: "We're looking for...people like us. People worthy of living in the
paradise we're going to turn this dirty world into."
Elliott: "What do you say? You're welcome to join us if you want. You're very
lucky we found you."
Marienne: "That's right! We treat our slav...I mean, subordinates very well!"
POLITELY DECLINE
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "I've got something I have to find. I don't mean to be rude,
but no thanks."
Elliott: "What...? You're turning us down... Could you be any more
stupid?"
Marienne: "Just who the hell do you think you are?! You've got no
right to decline! You have no idea what you've gotten
yourself into!"
Elliott: "I think it's time for us to teach this young man a
lesson... Ready, Marienne?"
NOT A CHANCE IN HELL
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Join you...? No way! You can take your offer and stuff it!"
Elliott: "Oh my! Hmm... Someone needs to learn some manners..."
Marienne: "Elliott! This is inexcusable! He needs a behavioral
adjustment, don't you agree?"
Elliott: "Indubitably, Marienne. Don't try to apologize now, young
man. It's too late! Ready, Marienne?"
Marienne: "Ready, Elliott. You better be ready too, little man... ...To witness
our special sibling bond!"
[The three Mystics fight.]
Lang: "That must be...!? Just like that man..."
Marienne: "Hee-hee! He's cowering at the power of our Origins!"
Elliott: "Don't forget, Marienne, it's only just begun. Now, let's us engage
you in our dance of death!"
[Lang eventually loses.]
Marienne: "Is that all you've got?! This is a good time to try our new move on
this lab rat. Wouldn't you agree, Elliott?"
Elliott: "Excellent idea! I will begin! Ready, Marienne?"
Marienne: "Ready, Elliott? Here comes our mah-velous move!"
Elliott: "Let's do it! Okay, Marienne!"
Marienne: "Here I gggggggggo! Eeeeee-yahhhhhh!"
Elliott: "Very elegant, Marienne!"
Marienne: "Thank you. I got that from you! Ha ha ha ha ha! Are you sure he was
a Mystic?"
Elliott: "He was certainly no match for us. Huh...? I think...I think he's
still alive!
Bubba: "WWHHHOOOOAAAA! He's...mine! Let me finish him off! Let me avenge
Elfin's death!"
Marienne: "Oh, shut up. There's nothing left for you to do, Bubba. Just be
quiet and behave. Why don't you bury your ugly little pet? I can't
stand the sight of it! Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Bubba: (...Why you little pig! One of these days, I'm gonna slow roast you over
a spit!)
Elliott: "Hmm... Take a look at the mark on his chest. It's really something."
Marienne: "Hah! A lot of good it did him! He probably had it tattooed on! It's
meaningless! It means nothing! It means absolutely nothing! It means
absolutely nothing!"
Lane: "...UUHH..."
Elliott: "Bubba, load him up and get him ready for travel. We're taking him
back to the castle. We're going to break his spirit and turn him into
a loyal subordinate!"
Marienne: "Absolutely! We'll turn him into our loyal slav...subordinate!"
[They load him into their wagon.]
Lang: (Where...are they...taking...me...?)

[Lang wakes up in a cell.]
Lang: *Groan...! "Unh...! Where am I...?
Marienne: "Get a move on there, ugly little witch!"
Elliott: "Now, now, Marienne. She is a Mystic too, after all."
Marienne: "Grr! You're too soft-hearted, Elliott! Ugly! ...little!...witch...!"
Lang: "What? What's going on? What the...!! It's you...!!"
[Bubba breaks down his cell door.]
Bubba: "Tsk! What a shabby little prison! I got permission, you know...
Permission to get revenge... Revenge on you for killing my poor Elfin!
You'll taste my wrath!"
[Bubba leaves with Lang.]
Guard 1: "What a mess! Well, looks like we won't be able to use this prison
cell anymore..."
[In the interrogation chamber...]
Bubba: *Grraahh* "Take that! And that! Damn you!!"
Marienne: "That's just about enough, Bubba. He's unconscious already. We're
going to make him our slave...um, I mean, servant, so we don't want
you to kill him."
Elliott: "Are you really so upset over losing a pet? If you want, I could buy
you a new one."
Bubba: "...El-Elfin...wasn't...just a pet... Elfin and I...were tied by the
bonds of true love...! Elfin...! My poor Elfiiinnn!!" *Sob* *Blubber*
"You could never understand! How we felt about each other...!"
??????: "But even so, Bubba. Killing him won't bring back what you lost."
Bubba: "Bishop...Doplin..."
Doplin: "I understand how you feel, but that man is a Mystic. And you know I've
told you time and again...that Mystics are the messengers of the
gods... Beings sent by the gods to bring eternal paradise to this
world. A Mystic's life is far more important than yours, let alone an
animal's life. Learn your place!!"
Bubba: *Grr!*
Doplin: "Oh, my! What a sorry shape you're in! You poor thing! What have they
done to you?"
Lang: *Groan!* "Unh...!"
Doplin: "Well, are you awake now? Here, I'll have your chains undone."
Lang: "Where am I...?"
Doplin: "You're in the town I rule, Darakin. This is my castle, Doplin Castle.
I'll have to keep you prisoner for a while."
Lang: "Huh? Prisoner...?"
Marienne: "Ga ha ha! You're not too swift, are you? I'll explain it real nice,
so even a monkey could understand! You...! Lost and...! were
brought...! Here...!!! Ga ha ha!! We're now goign to train you to be
our faithful slave...um, I mean, servant!"
I WON'T BE YOUR SERVANT!
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Absolutely no way!! I'll never be your servant!!"
Elliott: "That's what they always say. Do you know what happens to
those that resist like that? ...They all end up saying,
'Forgive me! I'll do anything you say!!' Well, there are a
few who resist to the end, and wind up dead..."
PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Please! Don't hurt me...! I'll do anything! I'll be your
servant!"
Marienne: "Pathetic boy! I can't believe you'd throw away your
dignity, your pride, over such a small amount of pain!
You're beneath human! You're a dog, maybe? Or maybe a
cat? No, I've got it! A cow! And cattle serve their
masters! I'm...your...master...now...! Have you got that?!
Huh? Don't forget it!"
Doplin: "It certainly is a fine mark he's got there! I bet he holds quite an
amazing Origin!"
Elliott: "That's the thing, Bishop Doplin... He won't show us his Origin.
Maybe we should have gone a little easier on him...? Ha ha ha!"
Marienne: "Grrr!! Elliott, you're too soft-hearted for your own good!! He's
just trying to make fools of us!! If I really got serious, I could
make him do anything I wanted! You! Take that!!"
Doplin: "Now, now! I get it! I can see both of you are serious. Now leave him
be for a bit! If he gets damaged before we show him to Avalon, he'll
be mad at me! Can't have that!"
Lang: "Avalon...?"
Doplin: "Yes, the greatest Mystic of all, chosen by the Supreme Origin. He is
our leader! He'll turn this chaotic, impure world into a true utopia!"
Lang: "... ... ..."
Doplin: "You'll understand when you meet him. You'll see his absolute power
for yourself! Undo his chains and let him rest in the prison. He'll be
one of us in the future. Treat him well, do you hear?"
Mysterious Woman: "I heard you found a new Mystic, Bishop..."
Doplin: "Oh, Velna! Ho ho ho! Yes, I imagine Avalon will be pleased!"
Velna: "Yes, I'm sure. I've made preparations for a celebration in the central
building."
Doplin: "Oh! A celebration, you say? How delightful! And you lot, come along!"
[Bubba starts taking the unconscious Lang back to his cell.]
Guard 1: "That's quite a wonderful feat! Finding a Mystic like that!"
Guard 2: "Great job, Mr. Bubba! And to think you were once a prisoner under a
life sentence! I-I'm sorry! That was rude of me! Please forgive me!"
Guard 1: "How exciting! This land will soon see the arrival of a new era!"
Bubba: "A new era...? Mystics...? To heck with all that! Damn him! He killed
my Elfin!!" *Sob* "My poor Elfin...!! I can't imagine a future without
my Elfin!! Damn you!! You son of...!! I'll kill you! Kill you!"
Guard 2: "Stop, please, Mr. Bubba! If you kill him, we'll be blamed...!"
Bubba: "Damn! I can't stand this!! Can't take it anymore! You guys take care
of him! Grrr!!"
[Bubba leaves.]
Guard 1: "Whew! Mr. Bubba sure is in a bad mood today!"
Guard 2: "Yeah! And what's wrong with the Bishop? What possible use could he
have for a brat like this? Are Mystics really worth all this fuss?"
Guard 1: "Yeah, I wonder. Mr. Bubba broke the door to this room, so we can't
use it."
Guard 2: "Well, what're you gonna do? Let's put him in the room over there."
[They throw him into a cell and leave. Lang wakes later to a girl healing him.]
Lang: *Gasp!* "Wh-Who are you?"
[She traces her name on the floor.]
Lang: "...Ma......ya....? My name's Lang. You...? Can't you talk? Hey! That
power... That power you just showed me! What exactly was that...?"
[The girl's Origin emerges.]
Lang: "Whoa! What the...!! What's that thing?!"
Rivas: "Do not be frightened. I am Rivas, the Life Origin that lives inside
Maya. You, too, are a...Mystic, are you not?"
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Hey! Absolutely not! Now way I'm a Mystic!!"
Rivas: "But your mark... That mark on your chest is clearly..."
Lang: "What ABOUT this mark?! It doesn't mean I'm a monster like the
bunch of you!!"
Rivas: "You do not wish to admit it to yourself..."
WHAT'S A MYSTIC?
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Please tell me! Just what in the world is a Mystic, anyway?!"
Rivas: "It is a being that holds an Origin, an embodiment of power,
and a mark that binds that Origin to him."
Lang: "Embodiment of power? What are you talking about? Can't you
explain it any simpler?"
Rivas: "It is difficult, I agree. But even if you do not understand
with your mind, I am sure your body knows... That mark on your
chest... It is a symbol of your Origin."
YEAH, MAYBE
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Yeah, they said that, too... That I was a Mystic... ...Could I
really be a Mystic?"
Rivas: "You are not aware of it yet...but that mark on your chest..."
Lang: "Yeah, what is this thing?"
Rivas: "That is the sign of another 'you' that lives inside you. It
stands for your Origin."
Lang: "My Origin...? Are you telling me there's a monster like you
living inside me?! I don't believe you!! No way there's a monster
inside ME!!"
Lang: "This mark is just a plain old birthmark! It's not what you say it is!
I'm no Mystic!! Stop saying that!! I'm NOT a Mystic, I tell you!"
Rivas: "I do understand what you are feeling now. But all the same, you ARE a
Mystic... Nobody can change that simple truth. Please accept..."
Lang: "Shut up! Go away!! Just disappear, why don't you?!"
[Rivas disappears at Maya's behest.]
Lang: (Am I...? Could I really be...like THEM...?! Just because I have some
birthmark on my chest?! Does that make me like THEM?! Now way!! I'm
nothing like any of them!! I'm NOT a Mystic!!)
[Maya goes to sleep. Lang sits with his thoughts.]
Lang: (I can't just hang around here forever! I've gotta find some way to get
out of here. But...looks liek they took away all my weapons and items.
What am I gonna do...?)
[Lang goes over to the wall crack Bubba made when he stormed off.]
Lang: "Say...! This door is pretty wobbly... Hey! Maybe I can break it...! I
think I'll give it another try... Maybe a little more...? One more time!
It made a whole lot of noise. But doesn't look like anybody noticed...
Now, what should I do...about her...? It's not my problem!! She's a
Mystic just like they are, anyway! I've got to get out of here...fast!!
But still...I bet they treat her pretty badly... Just like they treated
me... ...No! I can't just leave her here!!) "Um... Why don't you come
with me? We'll get out of here together! Come on. I'm not gonna leave
you here."
System: Maya has joined the party
[They recover the lost items. Back upstairs...]
Prison Guard: ?! "How did you manage to get out?!"
[The weakling guards are knocked out.]
Voice: "The prisoners escaped!"
Voice: "Escaped prisoners!"
Voice: "Where did they go?!"
Voice: "I doubt they've made it to the central building yet! Find them!!"
[They sneak into the central building.]
Blue-armored Hulk: "Stop right there!! YEAH! Graaahh!! Haaahh!! Yaay!! You
heathen, you!! Ha! I knew I would find you here! You thought
you could get away, did you!! You, men!! Leave this to me!!
Look! I swear, by St. Joprian...! I am Balken! Third son of
the Mesai Clan, and the leader of the Blue Knights!! They
called me 'the Mighty Balken,' the strongest knight in the
kingdom!! If you consider yourself a real man...you'll take
me on, one on one!!
ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Mighty Balken: "Most admirable!! You accept my challenge!!
You are a real man, after all! If we had met
under different circumstances, maybe we
could have been friends, shared a drink or
two... However! As you know...there can be
no mercy when it comes to battles... Here I
come! Hmm......heh heh heh! Not bad!
However! Time keeps slipping away... Hmmm??
Hurry! Hurry, I said! Grrrr.....hunhhhhhh...
Heh heh heh...would you like to see? The
doors of destiny are closing right behind me
as we speak... Hm? What? Trembling, are you?
*cackle* Now we are having fun! I will never
forget that spring, hmm, 16 years ago, when
I joined the knights... ever since I was
born to the Mesai clan as one of 3 boys...
an aristocrat by birth...are you listening
to me?! What?! Soon, the drawbridge will be
up... have you the young nobles understood?
I shall speak of this battle, this
encounter with the young nobles, for years
to come. And now! As the crest of Saint
Joprian as my witness chivalry thrives
within this body! Haaaaaaaaah ha ha haaah!!!
Once the drawbridge is closed, there is
nowhere to go! Embark on your journey to
death! And when you get there, tell the dead
of the Mighty Balken!"
IGNORE HIM AND BOTH OF YOU FIGHT HIM
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
[They defeat the Mighty Balken.]
Balken: *Cough* *Pant* "The drawbridge has been closed off, and the young
nobles have no place to run...! This is not my defeat! Even if this
body loses life, i shall emerge victorious! *pant* I am the Mighty
Balken...! Even in death, I shall be the Mighty.........ugggg....."
[He falls over and knocks the drawbridge down.]
Guard: "Balken!! Don't let them get away! Raise the drawbridge!! We've been
ordered to seize them! I can't believe it...! Balken, defeated...!"
Lang: "... ... ...Maya! Let's go!!"
Guard: "They escaped!!"
[Elsewhere...]
Guard: "Bishop, Your Majesty! Terrible news!"
Doplin: "What is it? What an awful lot of noise! Do you have any idea what
time it is?"
Guard: "Yes, Highness! Apologies, Your Majesty! But the Mystics looked up in
the annex escaped... I thought you'd want to know..."
Doplin: "... ... ...Wh...What did you say?! You fools!!" *Sputter* "What
happened to Balken?! The Mighty Balken?!"
[Elsewhere still...]
Marienne: "What is it, Elliott? Why are you staring outside like that?"
Elliott: "Looks like somebody escaped, Marienne. Maybe it's that young man we
captured today."
Marienne: *Snort* "A feeble boy like that? Escape? Ha! The guards or the
Knights would just catch him and put him right back in prison!"
Elliott: "Ha ha ha! Yes, I'm sure you're right, Marienne..."

Guard: "We can't let them get away!"
Lang: "I'm going to get caught if I stay here... No choice. Gotta use this
window."
[A kid sees them.]
Sabrina: "Nils? What's the matter? Hey, you two! What are you up to?!"
[An alarm bell rings.]
Voice: "They should be around here somewhere!!"
Voice: "Search all of these houses well!"
Voice: "A young man and woman! We've got to get them!!"
Voice: "We're the castle police!! Open up immediately! Open up, I say!"
Sabrina: "Hey, you two... Stay right here!"
[Downstairs...]
Sabrina: "Aren't you listening to me?! I told you there isn't any man and woman
here!!"
Guard: "And I say they're here! We're searching the place!"
Sabrina: "Hey! Stop! You're going to scare off all my customers! You're
interfering with my business! Now get out of here, now!"
Guard: "Dammit...! Oh, all right! But you haven't heard the end of this!"
[The soldiers leave.]
Sabrina: "Nothing but a bunch of cowards! But they think they can lord it over
people, anyway! Hmph! Okay! Those stupid men are gone! Do you want
something to eat? Honey! Make us some of your specialty, would you?
Here it is! Our special stew! Eat it while it's hot! Come on, now! Eat
up! There isn't any poison in it!"
Lang: "Okay, let me try it, too... Wow! This is great!!"
Sabrina: "Ha ha ha! No need to wolf it down! There's plenty more where that
came from. Eat as much as you want!"
Lang: "Gee, you were nice enough to hide us, and now you're feeding us...!
My name is Lang. And she's Maya. We, um... Well, you see..."
Sabrina: "That's okay. I know. You escaped from the castle, right? The only
time those men come around like that is when that Doplin has given
some stupid order or other! What in the world are they doing in that
castle, I wonder? Those idiots...! Not too long ago, a whole bunch of
young people were conscripted up to the castle! Grr!! It makes me so
mad!! Can't anybody do anything about him, I wonder? That idiot Doplin
guy!"
Norton: "Yeah, you said it!! That's right! Ever since that Doplin jerk came to
be bishop, the whole town has gone all to pieces!! That guy took away
my job, my house...! He even took my Sandy away from me!! *Sob* My
sweet Sandy...!!"
Sabrina: "Everybody here hates the jerks up at the castle! I don't know if
they're royalty or nobles or what, but they think they can do whatever
they please! There's no excuse for it!! I knew as soon as I saw you
two that you weren't like those people up at the castle! Now then! I'm
sure they were rough on you up there... Why don't you stay here
tonight? It's not much, but you can feel at home! Can't use the room
in the back. The door is broken. You'll have to share a room. But you
two look like you could get alone okay!"
WE COULDN'T STAY TOGETHER!
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Hey! Hey, wait a minute! We're not a couple or anything!"
Sabrina: "Look at him, all embarrassed about his love affair! You'll
embarrass me, too, Handsome!"
WE'LL STAY! THANK YOU!
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Thank you, Sabrina! We would like to stay!"
Sabrina: "That's the spirit! You're young! Why hesitate? Seize the
opportunity! And have a good rest!"
Sabrina: "Your room is the first one up the stairs. Make yourselves at home!"
Eye-Patch Man: "Wait. Hey, that mark on your chest...! Don't tell me...you're
a Mystic...?"
Lang: "!!"
Eye-Patch Man: "Now, now! Don't look so scared! I'm not going to give you away
to those men outside! My name is Joe. I'm a kind of information
source in this town. If you ever need to know anything, just ask
me."
Lang: "Please tell me! Just what exactly is a Mystic?!"
Joe: "Well, I'd usually get paid for this kind of service. But tell you what.
I'll let you try me out for free this once... A Mystic is a person that
can use the power of an Origin."
Lang: "An Origin...?"
Joe: "I'm not really sure what an Origin is, either, but I've heard it kinda
looks like a ghost or a spirit of some kind... And they say that Mystics
are born with a special mark, a kind of birthmark. When I saw the mark on
your chest, I thought you might be a Mystic... Aren't you? I don't think
there's any need to hide it... About the only ones that know Mystics have
marks on them are the big shots up at the castle. I doubt anybody else
knows... That's about all I know about it."
[Maya and Lang go up to the room. The next morning...]
Sabrina: "Finally awake, are you? Thought you'd never get up! Things have
finally calmed down quite a bit outside. So... What do you plan on
doing now?"
Lang: "I don't...I don't really know. I have to find that guy, the one that
stole the Aqualith from my town... But I haven't gotten any leads!"
Sabrina: "What kind of a man was he? This guy you're looking for?"
Lang; "He's no human 'man,' that's for sure! He has gold eyes..."
Sabrina: "What's the matter, girl? Your face is ashen! What is it?"
Joe: "Looks like she's trying to point to Mt. Gabel... It used to be famous
for its beautiful scenery... But now monsters run rampant there. It's no
place for people to get anywhere near..."
Sabrina: "So maybe... ...Maybe Maya is trying to tell us that a mountain has
something to do with the fellow you're looking for...?"
Joe: "Hey, wait just a minute! Don't tell me you're planning on going there!!"
I'M GOING TO MT. GABEL
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "I don't know if there's any connection but I'll find out when I
get there. I'm going!"
I'LL HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: (I wonder... Does that mountain really have anything to do with
that guy? But it's the only lead I've got...!) "I don't have any
other leads. I'm heading for that mountain."
Sabrina: "Lang, it looks like Maya wants to go with you. You're not going to
just leave her here, are you?"
Joe: "Hmph! It's not like going on a picnic, you know! It's dangerous, I tell
you!"

[They go to the nearby mountain where a small shack is.]
Lang: "Is there someone here?"
[Maya finds a man by the garden.]
Middle-Aged Man: "Hmph... Who're you...? Ho...?! Maya! Maya, it's you! What
are you doing here? Hmph... Who's this kid?"
Lang: "Kid?! I'm not a kid!"
Middle-Aged Man: "Hmm... Is that a fact? So... What's your name?"
Lang: "Lang. And you?"
Kazan: "Me? My name is...Kazan. I'm just an old man living alone in these
remote mountains. Look at those mountains... Something is poisoning
them. They didn't use to look like this. It's only a matter of time
before this place starts dying too.
[Kazan's Origin emerges from the ground.]
Lang: "Ah!"
Kazan: "I've been trying to use my Origin to breath some life into the earth,
but..."
Rivas: "Kazan... Do you sense it too? Something is forcing this change..."
Kazan: "Rivas... It's good to see you again. Anyone can see that something's
wrong. All it takes is one look at the mountains..."
Rivas: "Well then... Are you also aware that this change is the work of just
one Mystic?"
Kazan: "What?! That's impossible... No one has an Origin that strong!"
Rivas: "This Mystic does. He holds the Supreme Origin... As the name implies,
his Origin has seemingly unlimited power... Lang, listen to me. The
Supreme Origin belongs to the same man you're after...the man with gold
eyes."
Lang: "What?! You know about that gold-eyed man?! Where is he?!"
Kazan: "What's your connection to this man, kid?"
Lang: "He... He stole the Aqualith from my village! In order to get the
Aqualith back..."
Kazan: "You've got to find him. That's why you're after him. Hmm... That mark
on your chest... Are you a Mystic too?"
NO WAY!
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "I'm not like you! I'm not some freak!"
Kazan: "Freak...? That's a bit harsh, isn't it? Then explain that mark
on your chest. It's proof that you're a Mystic."
Lang: "No! It doesn't prove anything! I'm not like you!"
Rivas: "Lang..."
I DON'T KNOW WHAT A MYSTIC IS!
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "I don't know. Everyone keeps calling me a Mystic, but I don't
even know what that means..."
WHAT'S THE CONNECTION?
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "What's that got to do with anything?!"
Kazan: I guess it's safe to say that your Origin hasn't awoken yet. Hmm...
Okay, listen up, kid. I'll explain it to you. Deva, that's my Origin,
can control forces of the earth... And Rivas can control the forces of
life. Origins are sentient manifestations of the forces of nature.
Origins have a soul that lives inside with the soul of the human host.
Those of us with two souls are called...Mystics. The man you're chasing,
Gold Eyes, is a Mystic for sure. And one that appears to have infinite
power. Or at least strong enoughto affect the entire world. He's not
just another human. He's something else entirely. Do you see that now?"
Lang: "I knew that! That may be all true, but I'm still going to get the
Aqualith back from him! Tell me where he is! Please!"
Rivas: "Lang..."
Kazan: "Jeez, you don't get it yet, do you? Don't go charging off right now.
You'll get killed for sure. You're going to stay the night, right
Maya? It's okay. I just washed the sheets and my cooking has really
improved. Ha ha ha!"
Lang: "Hey, wait! I still need information!"
Kazan: "Slow down, kid. You're staying here tonight too. There's still a lot
you don't understand."
Lang: "..."
[The next morning, Lang finds Kazan on the cliff practice-fighting.]
Kazan: "So you're up. Morning, kid. You know, there's a reason I train like
this every morning. I have to be ready to fulfill my mission in life
when the time comes."
Lang: "Your mission in life...?"
Kazan: "Perhaps destiny would be a better word. Ever since I learned that Deva
was inside me, I've done a lot of thinking... About what it means to
have this power... And why I was entrusted with it. I finaly decided
that Origins... And Mystics were put here to protect the world. At least
that's what I've come to believe. Maybe that's hard for you to
understand since your Origin hasn't awoken yet. That mark on your chest
means that there's an Origin inside of you and a destiny for you to
fulfill."
Lang: "A destiny for me to fulfill...?"
[Some monsters show up as Maya exits the shack.]
Kazan: "Quickly! Protect Maya!"
[They defeat the galdukes.]
Kazan: "Well, kid... At least you know how to handle a sword. What were they
doing here...?"
[Maya tries to make the smashed garden grow again but can't.]
Kazan: "Look, they smashed everything. There's nothing left... I may be able
to rip open the earth, but I can't make a single flower bloom. I can
only help the healing process. This power we share with Origins... It's
tied to the will of the host. It can be used to destroy, or it can be
used to help the wounded and those in pain. It all depends on the host.
Well, kid... As far as I can tell, you've got a good heart. And you're
also a Mystic. If you're planning to go up against Gold Eyes and his
Supreme Origin to get that Aqualith back... Your only chance is that
other spirit inside of you. You've got to wake it up."
Lang: "The other spirit...?"
Kazan: "Deep within your soul is another spirit. You must conjure it now. That
power is lying dormant inside you. Free your mind nad call to it. It
will awaken. I'm sure of it."
Lang: "Power...? Inside of me?"
Kazan: "In your present condition, you won't get that rock back and you'll end
up dead."
Lang: "Then what should I do?! How can I tap the power inside of me?!"
Kazan: "There is only one way... You must stare into the very face of death.
You must push yourself to the brink."
Lang: "The face of death...?"
Kazan: "Put your life on the line. Are you ready? Ready to face down death?"
I NEED THE POWER, NO MATTER WHAT
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "If that's the only way to awaken the power inside of me then...
I'll do it! I'm ready to try. I have to!"
I DON'T WANT TO DIE
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Gee, I'm not sure..."
Kazan: "You fear death... That's a natural response. However... Will
you be able to live with the knowledge that you didn't even try?
Lang: "My town... They're all waiting for me to bring back the
Aqualith... I can't let them down. I just can't!"
Kazan: "Okay! Follow me. This road leads up to the summit of the mountain.
You'll find a cave at the summit. There's a spirit called the Mountain
Morg that lives there. He's usually very gentle, but he'll try to kill
anything that attacks him. I know it sounds a bit barbaric, but you're
going to attack him. You will find yourself fighting for your life. I'm
sure of it. I'll wait here with Maya."
System: Maya left the party
[Lang goes to the mountaintop cave and sees the Morg.]
Lang: "So...this is the Mountain Morg. All right, Morgie, let's do this!
It's not working...! What should I do? (Like those two... It's the same
thing... Am I the same as them...?)
Kazan's Voice: "Deep within your soul is another spirit. You must conjure it
now! It will give you strength."
Lang: "Another power...lies within..me..."
[The Morg's attack is blocked by Lang's Origin.]
Lang: "Uuuugggghh....."
[Lang defeats the Mountain Morg.]
Galea: "Finally!"
Lang: "Are you... Are you the Origin inside me?"
Galea: "Yes. Galea's the name. I am the Origin of Fire. If you had waited any
longer to awaken me, you'd have been dead for sure!"
Kazan: "Maya was worried about you. Is that your Origin?" (Such power...! Who
would have thought this kid had this kind of power inside of him...)
Rivas: "You've finally awoken the giant within, Lang..."
Lang: "Is that why you brought me here, Maya?"
Rivas: "Yes...I hoped that you would realize your potential as a Mystic."
Kazan: "Your Origin may be awake, but you're still a novice. You've got a lot
to learn about fighting and Origins. Come with me."
System: Maya and Kazan joined the party.
Lang: (I still can't believe that this thing was in me all along...)
Galea: "Hey, get a move on, will you? The master's already leaving."
Lang: "Master?"
Galea: "It's better than calling him 'pops', don't you think? If it weren't for
him, I never would have woken up and you'd probably be dead!"
Lang: "Master, huh?"
[At the cave entrance...]
Kazan: "You're late, kid!"
[Kazan helps defeat the monsters without his sword.]
Lang: "M, master...why aren't you using your sword?"
Kazan: "I've always preferred to use my fists. I can feel the battle with more
clarity. This -- is a memento of an old student of mine."
Lang: "A student...?
Kazan: "Yes. And in it thrives the spirit of my former student, Rauss... Which
is why I must never, ever lose it. For to lose it is to forget him."
[They start walking down the mountain.]
Kazan: "Take a look, Lang. This is the Cave of Trials. I trained here in my
younger days. At the very back of the cave, there is a scroll that
reveals a secret sword technique. I want you to get that scroll."
Lang: "You want me to get a scroll?"
Kazan: "It may sound easy, but trust me, it's not. The cave is filled with
monsters. You won't be able to get the scroll by yourself. You're going
to need the cooperation of your Origin."
Lang: "Cooperation...?"
Kazan: "Stand over there."
Lang: "Whoa!"
[Deva makes a stone pillar rise out of the ground.]
Kazan: "Origins can do things like this. I'm certain that your Origin has the
power you'll need to accomplish the task. Whether you make it through
the caves alive or not depends on how you use your Origin. I'll wait
here with Maya. Good luck."
System: Maya and Kazan left the party
[Lang goes into the cave.]
Lang: "I can't go any further. This rock is in the way. I wonder if Galea can
do something about it?"
System: You can use Origin powers in places like this. Press the [] button to
call forth your Origin.
Lang: "So this is Galea's power... What's the matter, Maya?"
Kazan: "Hey, La-ng...!! I don't think you're strong enough to make it through
the cave by yourself yet. Take Maya with you. Rivas has the ability to
heal injuries. I'm sure she'll be of great assistance."
System: Maya joined the party. You can change characters in the dungeon by
using L2 and R2 buttons.
[They complete the trial and get the scroll.]
Lang: "Master? What's the Sky Fang School?"
Kazan: "I told you to get the scroll. I didn't say anything about reading it.
Someone needs to learn some patience. It's a style of sword fighting
that I mastered. It allows you to infuse your sword with your inner
fighting force. Since you've already looked at the scroll, you know
that it contains the secrets to a technique called 'Raging Fang.' Like
the smithy tempers steel, so too must you temper your mind. Devote
yourself to mastering this technique. It looks like you've learned
'Raging Fang' quite well. In that case... You shouldn't have any
trouble learning more advanced techniques in the future. Okay, then.
Let's all head back to the house!"
System: Kazan joined the party
Kazan: "Say, Lang... This Aqualith your'e looking for... What exactly is it?"
Lang: "Let's see... It floats in the air... It's very shiny and water comes
out of it. Oh, and it's a rock!"
Kazan: "A shiny rock that floats in mid-air and water comes out of it? You
wouldn't try to fool an old man now, would you?"
Rivas: "A rock that makes water... It can only be one thing... The Sacred Azure
Stone."
Lang: "You know of it?"
Rivas: "Yes. When I was held captive in Doplin Castle, I remember the Bishop
bragging about it."
Lang: "Doplin Castle... That's where they locked me up! You're sure that's
where it is?!"
Kazan: "Hmm... But why did Gold Eyes steal it from your village? What does he
plan to do with it? If we find that stone, we might find Gold Eyes
too..."
Lang: "Master...?"
Kazan: "Let me tell you something, Lang... I like the scenery here. The
sunsets were especially breathtaking. But I can't enjoy the sunset
anymore. The eerie mist covering the mountain has made it impossible.
In order to get back the mountain I love...I plan to fight this gold-
-eyed devil that's disrupting the balance of things. You fight to
protect your village... Maya and I fight to protect nature... We fight
for different reasons, but our target's the same. How about it, Lang?"
Lang: "Master... Let's go to Doplin Castle!"
Kazan: "We'll leave right away."
Kenjiro: "Kazan!"
[A short guy with a huge smile runs over.]
Kazan: "You again. I don't know why you keep coming back."
Kenjiro: "Doesn't the fact that I've travelled all this way just to see you
so many times mean anything to you?"
Kazan: "All right, Kenjiro. I give up. You can have the pot... Along with
everything else in the house. It's all yours."
Kenjiro: "Really?! You're going to give me the pot?! Even the hanging scrolls?"
Kazan: "I won't have any use for them where I'm going. Anything you think is
valuable, you can buy... Hmm... I was hoping ot get some traveling
money, but never mind. All right then, shall we go?!"
[The team starts leaving the mountain.]
Kazan: "Hmm... I was hoping we'd make it down the mountain before it got
dark, but... Oh well. We'll rest here for tonight."
[Later, after Maya's turned in for the night...]
Kazan: "Hmph... Sound asleep... Poor girl. If she weren't a Mystic cursed
with the blood of her ancestors... She'd probably be living a normal
life...surrounded by family..."
Lang: "The blood of her ancestors...?"
Kazan: "A long time ago, there was a race called the Kabel. They might have had
human bodies, but they had the power to control everything in the
universe. The Kabel called it magic... Maya is from the same blood line.
She used to have the same powers... If it weren't for those powers...
Maya would never have..."
Lang: "Would never have what? What happened?"
Kazan: "Her powers went out of control. If I had only realized sooner, I might
have been able to help. She never would have..."
System: Acquired four pieces of beef, four vegetables, four Red Peppers, and
four Curry Sets. You learned how to make camp.

[The team makes for the fort town.]
Kazan: "This town hasn't changed... If they did bring the Aqualith here, it
would probably be in the castle. It's up ahead at the end of this road."
[At the gates to the castle...]
Lang: "The drawbridge is up..."
Kazan: "Can't get in through the main entrance, looks like..."
Guard: "Did you come to see the castle? Apparently, they're on emergency alert.
I'm sorry, but you can't go in. Ever since the Bishop found the Sacred
Azure Stone, the castle's been this way. I wonder what they're doing in
there?"
Lang: (The Aqualith is here in this castle...! I've got to find a way to get
inside!)
[They enter the nearby hotel and find a sewer entrance.]
Kazan: "Hmm... It does look like it connects to the Sewers from here, after
all."
Lang: "Phew! What a stench!"
[They go into the Kabel Ruins via the sewers.]
Lang: "What's this?..."
Kazan: "Hmm... An ancient ruin... There appears to be an inscription of some
sort... Could it be!? A spell!!"
Lang: !? "Maya!? Are you all right?"
Kazan: "...That day...... Memories of the day her powers got out of hand......
If only... If only I had seen the signs! Had I been aware of Maya's
powers sooner, I would have been able to stop it!! The tragedy... It
could have been prevented......"
Lang: "Tell me... What happened?"
Kazan: "Maya... Maya's family... When her powers ran amok... They were wiped...
From the face of this earth..."
Doplin: "Who dares to tresspass here?! Speak if you value your lives! Hm?! Your
faces are familiar to me... You! You are the fugitive Mystics!! If I
had known to find you here, it would have spared me the trouble of
sending Elliott! Arrrgh!!!.... Fwah ha ha ha! Do not be frightened.
Trust in me. I will not harm you. Why! Am I not the Lord of Darakin
and the Bishop of the Holy Order of Banderas? I never lie! And who are
you?! I have no business with you! Step away from there at once! Who do
you think you are?!"
Kazan: "Hmph! You are only a petty villain, who somehow came into power."
Doplin: "How dare you!... You would call a bishop a villain?! There is not an
iota of evil in me!"
Kazan: "Your eyes betray you. The truth is plain for all to see. And what would
a villain be plotting in such a room? Planning to call on some demons,
were you?
Velna: "Demons... Perhaps you are correct... The people of Kabel who perished
several thousand years ago... They studied demonology here in this room.
Magic that manipulates heaven and earth... Such powers could very well
beget demons.
Doplin: "You are wrong, Velna! I do not aspire to create demons!! I require
soldiers of God! The entity that governs all life...... That is God!
I seek the power that manipulates life at will!! And this room, it
gives me power...... The Wisdom of Kabel will reveal, to me, the way
to God!!"
Kazan: "You disgust me... All you speak are words of selfish desire! What
blasphemy to even consider manipulating nature and life to suit your
own will! God?! Don't make me laugh!"
Doplin: "Fwah ha ha ha! It is impossible for lowly folk like you to comprehend
my will! I alone hear the voice of God!"
[Kazan cracks his knuckles.]
Doplin: "...Using brute force, is that your solution? I am ruler of this
country!! Not to mention God's will on earth! You dare strike me?!
Apparently, you are not aware that blasphemy against the heavens has
dire consequences..."
[The monster with Velna transforms with her spell.]
Maya: !!! "Uhhhhgh!...... .......Argh....ugh...."
Doplin: "Fwah ha ha ha! Do you understand now? Bow before the power of Kabel!
The power of God!!!!! With the strength of Kabel and the Mystics at my
command, I will establish the ideal world I have always envisioned!!
...Join me. What do you say? I grant you the opportunity to join God
in creating a utopia!"
I REFUSE!!
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "God, utopia... It has nothing to do with me! Leave me out of
your little fantasy!"
Doplin: "Hrmph!... What a pity. Born to serve God, yet blind to your
destiny..."
I HAVE NO INTEREST IN YOUR UTOPIA!
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "I'm not interested in any utopia that you've come up with!!!"
Doplin: "Fwoh ho ho... Fool! Nothing is impossible with the secrets of
Kabel at my command!"
Doplin: ...As they say, the true path is apparent only in hindsight. I am truly
disappointed... Had you decided to follow me, you could have been
honored citizens of a beautiful utopia!"
Velna: "Bishop... Surely, you are not going to...??!"
Doplin: "It cannot be helped. God's servants they may be, but they are of no
use if they refuse to do my bidding. He will surely understand... Alas!
This too must be a test that God has placed before me!! It pains me, it
truly pains me... Now, it is time for Slogar to test his new powers on
you... Even you are helpless against the powers of Kabel! Revel in its
strength before you depart to the other world..."
Lang: "Ah....! What do we, Master?!"
Kazan: "It can't be helped...we will have to take care of this on our own."
Lang: "Even Origin moves aren't working!"
Galea: "My powers have no effect. A fiend of the dark can only beaten with
light..."
Lang: "Master!"
Kazan: "Keep your wits about you! He is distorting his own image... it's no
wonder that the moves have no effect..."
Lang: "Watch out!"
[Slogar is repelled by Maya's powers going out of control.]
Kazan: "Good Lord... Just like before...again..."
Lang: *gasp*
[They defeat Slogar.]
Lang: "Maya... Was that you?... Was that your power?..."
Kazan: "I remember... This terrible light... This very same light...
...Again........."
Maya: "Aaah...... Uhhh......"
Lang: "Maya!!!"
Maya: "I, Did I......?"
Kazan: "Maya...... You can speak!! Has your voice returned!?"
Maya: "........What happened...? Did I..... Did I use that power again??! Why
do I have this power?! How I wish I didn't!! Then Father...and Mother!!!
...... *sob*..."
Lang: "Maya...... Maya, don't blame yourself! We couldn't have defeated him
ourselves... We needed your power to do it... The power itself isn't
inherently good or evil! That's up to the person who wields it! Maya, we
wouldn't have made it without you! I believe in you, Maya!"
Maya: "......Thank you, Lang. But......I don't...I don't know how to use
magic..."
Lang: "Really?....."
Kazan: "Maya has potential for magic in her blood. She has yet to be able to
wield it... But at the moment, we must concentrate on finding our way
out of this labyrinth and into that castle."
Lang: "You're right... The Aqualith is waiting for us. Let's go!!!"

[The team breaks into the lower basement jail and heads to the central bldg.]
Guards: "Hey! Who are you?!"
Red-armored Hulk: "You, there!! What impertinent behavior to display here in
Doplin Castle!! Insolence! Impertinence! Up ahead, in St.
Joprian's Church, Doplin, Bishop of the Holy Order of
Banderas is..."
Guard: "Raynof, sir! You mustn't say..."
Raynof: "Oh, yes! Doplin bringing in the Sacred Azure Stone is top secret,
isn't it!"
Guard 2: "This is the man!! He's the one that defeated Balken, Raynof, sir."
Raynof: "What! 'Balken?! You shall adress him properly!' It's 'The MIGHTY
Balken,' to you!! So. This is the lot that killed my brother, huh...?
I'll show you a thing or two before you die! To avenge my brother
Balken's death!!"
Guard: "For the honor of the Red Knights!!"
Guard 2: "In the name of St. Joprian!!"
Raynof: "I, Raynof, will make sure you see hell on earth!! What's the matter?
Speechless at the sight of me, are you? Well?! There's no escape for
you! I WILL avenge my brother's death! I'll kill you slowly, inch by
inch!! I see... This must be the Origin I have heard about... I cannot
stop trembling...its power is incredible...! Heh...I am filled with
fear....but I will not run away! After all, I am Raynof the Brave!
Leader of the Red Knights!
Guards: "Sir Raynof! All hail Raynof The Brave, pride of the Red Knights!"
Raynof: "Ha ha ha...Ah, the scent of battle -- this one reeks of Balken's
regret! I can also smell you burning in hell, huh? It really is no use.
The young nobles are fated to die right here... ...At my hands!
Ugh...Ggghhhhh...I would expect nothing less of the person who stole my
brother's life. However! I am far form finished! The people do not call
me 'Raynof The Brave' for no reason! Now! On behalf of countless lives
and their unfillflled wishes... Come! I will crush you!"
Guards: "Sir Raynof! All hail Raynof The Brave, pride of the Red Knights!"
[They defeat Raynof.]
Raynof: "Balken...forgive me. I could not do it... Brother...now our redemption
is in your hands..."
Guards: "Sir Raynof! He's down...Raynof is down! ...Run!!
Guard: "Raynof the Brave...has been defeated...?! Run! Escape!"
Kazan: "What was so 'Brave' about him? I expected more of a challenge than
that!"
Lang: "Doplin, up ahead... Sacred...Azure...?"
Rivas: "The Sacred Azure Stone... It is probably the Aqualith, Lang."
Lang: "...Let's go!!"
[They enter Chapel of St. Jopian.]
Lang; "Hey, that's Doplin!! What's he doing? What's that? There's something
engraved on it..."
Maya: "Oh, my!! That monolith! There's one just like it in my village!"
Lang: "That monolith? There's one like that in your village, too, Maya?"
Maya: "Yes. But there's something a little different about this one. There's
something black engraved on it...
Doplin: "YOU?! Wh-What...are you doing here...? How in the world did you get
away from Slogar? Grrrr!!"
Kazan: "Just what exactly...are you up to? What's that monolith you're
worshipping? Some kind of religious mumbo jumbo?"
Doplin: "'Mumbo jumbo!' Bite your tongue!! This represents all of my
ambitions...uh, I mean...Avalon's ideal world!! When the Black Sun
engraved on this monolith rises...then our utopia, our kingdom of the
gods, will be born!! Hmm?! Don't tell me you lot came here looking for
this Sacred Azure Stone...?! You can't have it! It's mine!!"
Lang: "That stone... My village NEEDS that stone! Hand it over NOW!"
Doplin: "What are you talking about? Avalon gave me this stone! Besides, I need
it! It's going to make me into a god! I'll never give it to you! ?!"
Lang: "HUH?!"
[Velna appears with Gold Eyes from a portal.]
Lang: "YOU!!"
Doplin: "Avalon!!"
Lang: "Huh? So it's...'Ava...lon,' is it...?"
Velna: "Avalon..."
Avalon: "Just as I was told... Here are Earth, Life...and Flame..."
Igohl: "How is it possible? If he is human... Even if he is a Mystic, then by
all rights, he should be dead... How could he survive?"
Galea: "What force is this?"
Kazan: "So this is the Supreme Origin... It radiates pure power..."
Avalon: "I think this is the man...! Igohl, let me answer your question for
you."
[He takes the Aqualith in hand...]
Doplin: "Wait...! Avalon!! What are you going to do?"
[...and gives it back to Lang.]
Doplin: "Yikes!!"
Igohl: "What is this light?!"
Avalon: "Yes, there's no question about it... ...He is the Star Shaper..."
Lang: "Huh...?"
Avalon: "If you want the stone, go ahead and take it... ...Soon the Eclipse
will completely cover the earth, and a new world will be born... And
then the old race will perish, and only Mystics will survive! I was
born with one purpose alone: to change this world! I will become the
ruler of the new world! You are the chosen one. Come and build a new
world with me!"
REJECT HIS PROPOSAL
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Count me out! I don't give a damn about your ideals or your new
world!! I came here to save my village. Do you actually think
I'd help you with your crazy scheme to change the world?!"
Kazan: "Our powers are for protecting the natural order, for
protecting the world! Hmph! I would rather die than be part of
your world!"
TELL HIM OFF
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "A new world...? The chosen one...? You can sure as hell count
me out! Yeah, maybe we DO have some kind of power that other
people don't have. But that doesn't mean we can do whatever we
damn well please! That's just plain arrogance! Build a new
world? With YOU?! HA!! You expect me to forget that you almost
killed me?"
Avalon: "You still seek revenge do you? Do you not understand that the
past must be sacrificed for a better future?"
Kazan: "You sacrifice compassion for power? I would rather die than be
a part of your new world!"
Avalon: "So...you refuse to cooperate, do you? You insist on defying me?"
Lang: "Yeah, that's right!"
Avalon: "...I see..."
Velna: "Avalon. Let me handle this."
Avalon: "I'm sure we'll meet again someday..."
Doplin: "Wait! Just a minute! Avalon!!"
[Avalon leaves via a portal with Doplin.]
Kazan: "Hold it!! We're not through talking!"
Velna: "Slogar is... Oh, but you probably don't remember that name. That beast
you fought in the Kabel Ruins... That was just a mere imitation of the
real thing. The one I'm summoning now from the depths of hell is the
TRUE beast. Although its appearance is similar, you will know the
differences as you pass from this world..."
[She disappears as the creature's summoned into the cathedral.]
Velna: "Why? They are from the same family... Why do they choose to be
destroyed.... We are a race very much in touch with nature...and if we
are to disobey our hearts... There is a price to be paid for such
action..."
Kazan: "Feels like he could almost rip out my heart just by looking at me.
Leave this to us, and hide in a safe place."
Maya: "I'm...scared, but we can't run. I'm fighting too!"
Lang: "Nothing is going to stop me from returning the Aqualith! Not even this
thing!"
Kazan: "...If we don't use magic... We can't..."
Maya: "Ugghhh.... No....I can't.... What should I do? I have to do something
...or else..."
Kazan: "This thing came from another world... Does this beast have any
weakness...?"
Lang: "I won't lose...! I will keep my promise, and return with the Aqualith!
No matter what....I will never give up!"
Rivas: "Do not just speak with words...feel them in your heart. Earth and
Wind...Water and Fire... You must hold the whole world inside your body.
Maya: "Earth and Wind...Water...Fire..."
Rivas: "Power to create... Power to destroy... "
[Maya uses an attack that damages the monster.]
Lang: "Are you all right?"
Maya: "It worked.... I did it!!"
[They defeat Zoan Stoara.]
Kazan: "We're alive! And it's all thanks to Maya!"
Maya: "That guy said...Lang is 'a star shaper...'."
Kazan: "Hmm... That man also carries the Supreme Origin... What was he saying?
Something called 'the Eclipse' would 'completely cover the earth...'
He's a mysterious one..."
Maya: "The stone is starting to glow again!"
Kazan: "Lang, you can save your village now that you've got that stone back,
right?"
Lang: "Yeah, that's right! The whole village will be safe with this!"
Kazan: "In that case, let's get a move on, back to your village!"
Lang: (But I still wonder why... Why did he give me back the Aqualith...?)
[Meanwhile, somewhere in a dimensional-looking place...]
Velna: "I'm so sorry. I had no idea Zoan Stoara could be defeated..."
Avalon: "Take these back to their altars."
Velna: "The sacred stones? But... ...Yes, of course. Rauss and I will defend
the altars to the death!"
Igohl: "What are you thinking, having them take the sacred stones back...?"
Avalon: "I want to give that boy a little test. I have to see if he really
holds the same power I do. If he really IS the Star Shaper, he'll
eventually find his way to me...and he'll be carrying all three
stones! I look forward to that moment... The Eclipse will soon start.
If I want to create the new world, I MUST gain control of this power
now...!"

[They approach town.]
Kazan: "Ho..... You sure seem happy that you're bringing back the Aqualith.....
Marcus: "Lang!! What's the matter? You seem different somehow..."
Lang: "Marcus...I got it. I finally brought the Aqualith back!!"
Marcus: "R-Really!?...... You!? You really, really have it!!?"
Lang: "......Yes!! I brought it back!!"
Marcus: "W-Wait here! I'll go get everyone right away!!"
Kazan: "You're struggles were not in vain, Lang...... But all of this was not
your doing alone... Only with the help of Maya and I, were you able to
succeed! Hmm? ...Do you hear me, Lang?"
Lang: "Huh? Uhh, Yeah.....I'm listening! Thanks, Master...Maya..."
[Later...]
Hawke: "Since that dismal day... The day Aqualith was stolen, we have endured
a grim existence. But... You have... You have saved us! On behalf of
everyone in this town, let me express our gratitude! Thank you!
Now...... The hand that returned the Aqualith must restore it to its
rightful place!!"
Galvan: "Lang!!! You...! You son of a gun!!!... You really did it!!"
Nancy: "Lang!!"
Hawke: "........Ahh... Tonight we must celebrate your success!"
Galvan: "That's right!! We've got to get moving! C'mon, Nancy!"
Nancy: "W-Wait a minute!! You really....... Really, I'm so proud of you.
Lang......"
[At the lodge nearby...]
Galvan: "Well, here comes the toast of the town!"
Nancy: "I'm cooking up something extra special for tonight! But the ingredients
are top secret!! Kazan and Maya, they're eating too, right?"
Kazan: "Hmm, I think it would be a pity for us not to accept your invitation.
Don't you agree, Maya?"
Maya: "Thank you so much... I hope it won't be an inconvenience."
Nancy: "Oh, no no no! It's nothing special, but please stay and make yourselves
at home!"
Lang: "Yeah, trust me. It's really nothing special."
Nancy: "What did you say!? If I'm not mistaken, aren't you the one who's always
asking for seconds? And thirds? And who always compliments my cooking!?
Well, I guess I have to let you off easy today. After all, you're the
hero who brought back the Aqualith! But it's not like you got it back
all by yourself, right? Just you, Lang? That would be impossible!"
Galvan: "Qu-quick!!! Nancy!! Something's burning!! &sigh*........ A waste of a
perfectly good meal... ...Ho-ho! You leave us for a day or two, and
what do you know! You come back looking more like a man!... Right,
Lang? Kazan... You've certainly worked wonders on this boy! I suppose
it's up to me to thank you, seeing that I'm the closest thing to a
father he's got. How about joining me in my room for a drink? You look
like you can knock'em back..."
Kazan: "Do I hear a challenge to a drinking contest? Be warned, I can drink
'till kingdom come!"
Galvan: "Gwaa ha ha ha!!! This should be interesting! As you wish, we'll drink
until one of us can drink no more!"
Kazan: "Heh heh! I hope we don't run out of stuff."
Nancy: "Oh! No no no!! Don't worry about cleaning up! I've got it!"
Maya: "Please!... I'm used to doing this sort of thing..."
Nancy: "...W-Well, okay... If you insist. Thanks. Well...gotta start cooking
all over again!"
System: Maya and Kazan have left the party
[Later, Lang goes outside to see Kazan practicing with Galvan.]
Kazan: "There! Tighten your stance!
Galvan: "Haaahhh!! Hyaaahhh!"
Kazan: "Guide your weight through your fist!
Galvan: "Hrraaaaaah!"
Kazan: "Combine your moves, both large and small! Finish off your opponent!"
Galvan: "Ho, Lang!! You're finally awake. Since you said he was your master,
I thought I'd test him a little...but look! He's teaching ME now!"
Kazan: "His style may be unrefined, but he has a lot of potential."
Galvan: "R-Really? You think so? Gwa ha ha ha ha!"
Boerto: "I think it's time we left, Galvan."
Galvan: "Ho! Let's be off then!"
Boerto: "We thought we'd go to Hunter's Wood to do a little hunting."
Galvan: "And I'll be going along to make sure they don't get attacked by
monsters. Well, Kazan! I look forward to our next lesson!"
[They leave.]
Kazan: "Hmm... Seems like we have some free time... Any ideas, Lang?"
ASK FOR A LESSON OF YOUR OWN
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Master! Please! Give me a lesson too!"
Kazan: "Ahh... That's what I like to hear. But here...? We need some
more space. And I don't want you busting up somebody's house.
Let's find a forest or a mountain..."
Maya: "I see...... Do you want to go to Hunter's Wood too, Kazan?"
Kazan: "N-No... I was simply......"
Lang: "Okay! Let's go to Hunter's Wood!"
GO AFTER GALVAN AND THE MEN
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Kazan: "What is this Hunter's Wood?"
Lang: "It's a forest near here. It's beautiful! Lush, green trees, lots
of animals..."
Maya: "Oh! HOw lovely!! Let's go! Kazan?"
Kazan: "Hmm... That's not a bad idea... Besides, I can teach you a new
move or two, Lang, and the buildings will be safe from your wild
strokes!"
Lang: "All right! Then let's going to the Hunter's Wood!"
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH TAKING IT EASY
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "There's nothing wrong with that. We deserve to take it easy!"
Kazan: "Rest has its merits... But I want to get some exercise. A
warrior can never neglect his training! What do you say, Lang?
A stroll down to Hunter's Wood sound okay? That sounds like the
ideal place to train. I'll teach you some new moves while we're
there."
Lang: "Really!?"
Maya: "Isn't the real reason that YOU want to go to Hunter's Wood?"
Kazan: "Er.....La, Lang! What do you want to do?"
Lang: !!! "Let's go, Kazan! A lesson in Hunter's Wood sounds good!"
System: Maya and Kazan have joined the party

Kazan: "We need to find a suitable opponent for our lesson. I will teach you
the Sky Fang art known as 'Divine Bolt'!! First select BATTLE. Next,
choose ATTACK. Ho! Now enter UP--DOWN--DOWN--RIGHT! We will watch from
here. Okay, now finish it, Lang! Ho! Nice job, kid! Now don't forget
it!"
[They find Galvan's crew in the wood by a stag.]
Galvan: "Look at this! A huge, long-tailed deer!"
Kazan: "Ho ho... That certainly is quite a catch. Did you really kill all
those monsters?"
Galvan: "Aw, that was nothing! I am the Captain of the Vigilance Corps, after
all! Huh?"
Kazan: "The sky... What's happening to it?"
Galvan: "It got so cloudy all of a sudden."
Kazan: "Storm maybe? But something's not right..."
Galvan: "Hey, what's going on...? This is creepy. The sun's BLACK!"
[The dead monsters from before get back up, mutated and stronger.]
Boerto: "M-Monsters...!"
Galvan: "Argh! What are these things...?!"
Kazan: "You two! Go back to town!"
Galvan: "Wait! What are you going to do?"
Kazan: "Don't worry about us! Just let us take care of this!"
Lang: "No problem! I could take care of these things all by myself!"
Galvan: "Well...all right! But I want you to be careful!"
[They defeat the Corrosive Tusk monsters.]
Maya: "Those monsters were terrible! Was it caused by that black sun?"
Kazan: "I wonder. There was a flash of...'black'!? ...then those things were
suddenly alive again."
Lang: "It's just like that mural...! This is just like the mural we saw at
St. Joprian's!"
Kazan: "Oh, yeah. The one that was hanging in St. Joprian's Church. ...Soon the
Eclipse will completely cover the earth, and a new world will be born...
Lang: "So is this the eclipse Avalon was talking about?"
Kazan: "If what Avalon said was true, it's got to be more than just this. I
mean, if we believe he's trying to destroy this world and create a new
one...then this is only the beginning, an omen. If something terrible
is going to happen, it'll come later... That's what I think. Anyway,
let's get back to town. Everybody's probably worrying about us."
[They go back to Nohl.]
Galvan: "Lang! You all right?"
Lang: "Don't worry about me! I've never seen anything like that before, but it
was no match for me! Is the town all right?"
Galvan: "Yeah... I don't think ANYONE's seen that before; especially not in
Hunter's Wood. But you never know when we'll run into something like
that again. Better be careful......"
Hawke: "Monsters now mutating into even greater monstrosities?..."
Galvan: "You think that black sun had something to do with it?"
Hawke: "I do not know... But it is ominous... That black sun... Galvan. I
advise you to stay far away from Hunter's Wood for a while...... Fair
guests, my apologies for the disturbance. Lang, it is time for you to
rest."
[Outside...]
Kazan: "Is this what that guy meant...? 'An Origin of infinite power...?'"
Maya: "Are we... Are we going to become like those monsters in Hunter's Wood?
I don't... I don't want that..."
Lang: "...We just brought back the Aqualith...... Are we going to sit here...
and watch the world crumble right before our eyes!?...... There must be
something...... There must be something I... No!!! That WE can do!! Me...
Everyone... The world, all changed?! No!! We can't let this happen!!!"
Kazan: "Lang...... You have spoken well!...... I feel very much the same.
But...that black sun...... There are too many things not known to us..."
Maya: !!! "Kazan, let's ask Reym!"
Lang: "Reym...?"
Kazan: "He is a spirit... A spirit that has lived as one with the earth from
days of old. It's possible... If anyone can tell us about the black sun
or the 'rot', it would be Reym."
Lang: "So...this Reym, where is he?"
Maya: "In my home town... Past The Forest Maze, in a town called Yuno."
Lang: "All right! Let's get going to Yuno!"
Kazan: "Lang, Yuno is quite far. I am certain there are many who will be sad
to see you go as soon after you've returned. Prepare well for your
journey. We will be waiting at the entrance of the town. Come when you
feel that you are ready to depart."
[Lang finds Nancy at the dock.]
Nancy: "Oh, Lang! After you've gotten the Aqualith...... What's going to
happen? I don't know what's going on anymore, Lang......!!"
LEAVE IT TO ME!
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Leave it to me!! I got the Aqualith back, didn't I? This?......
This is nothing!"
Nancy: "......You've grown up, Lang... I can hardly believe it's you...
So...... What are you going to do? I don't know how you got the
Aqualith back, but what are you going to do this time?"
Lang: "Huh? Uhhh, well....I guess......I guess I'll just try my
hardest! you'll never know 'till you try, right?"
Nancy: "...It's all right. Don't worry. I know you're trying to make
me feel better. I appreciate it though."
I DON'T KNOW EITHER
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Lang: "Nancy............ I don't know what to do myself. But...... I
can't sit here and wait... Not when I can do something about it!!
There has to be a way...I have to go find it!..."
Nancy: "You never were good at waiting... For anything... Were you,
Lang? I'm counting on you, you big hero, you!! Or maybe......
Please save me!!! Does that work better for you?"
Nancy: "You're...... you're leaving town again?"
Lang: "Yeah... I hear it's gonna be far this time..."
Nancy: "Well... This time I'll see you off with a smile! And I'm going to try
my best to do my part, just like you, Lang! You make sure you come back!
I'll be waiting for you with a big feast all cooked up!"
[She runs off.]
Lang: "Nancy............"
[At the town entrance...]
Kazan: "Well... Shall we start off to Yuno?"
Maya: "Yes!"
Lang: "Which way is Yuno?"
Maya: "It's west of Darakin. But along the way, we'll have to pass through The
Forest Maze..."
Lang: "What's wrong with the forest?"
Kazan: "There is a strange mist in the forest... It confuses the senses and
makes one lose one's way."
Lang: "Then what should we do?"
Kazan: "Only Mizel Red Sand will be able to counter the forest's evil presence.
I think I have some in my home. It's out of the way, but we should go
back to Mt. Gabel to get it. What is the matter? Lang?"
Lang: "Nothing... Nothing at all!"

[They make a pitstop at Mt. Gabel's shack.]
Kazan: "Hmm... This is strange. It should be right here... Someone really
cleaned me out while I was gone. They even made off with the dishes and
my clothes... Darn! I completely forgot! I told Kenjiro that he could
have it all! Ha ha ha! That explains everything!"
Lang: "So what are we going to do? We can't make it through the woods without
Mizel Red Sand, right?"
Kazan: "Hmm..."
Maya: "I think the only thing we can do is start looking for Kenjiro. Let's
just hope he hasn't sold it already..."
Kazan: "You're right, Maya. Now where would he go... Somewhere with a lot of
people."
Lang: "Well, let's go find him!"
[They go to Darakin Citadel and find Kenjiro.]
Kenjiro: "I'll buy anything you want to sell! I'll sell anything you want to
buy!"
Kazan: "Hey, Kenjiro... About that stuff I gave you the other day... Remember
that thing called Mizel Red Sand?"
Kenjiro: "That was a surprise, Kazan! The town alchemist was just beggin' me
to sell it to him!"
Kazan: "What!? D-Did you sell it?"
Kenjiro: "I wouldn't let it go that easily! It's worth a fortune! Why, look, I
have it right here!"
Kazan: "That's a relief! Kenjiro, would you give it back to me...?"
Kenjiro: "No siree! You gave it to me, so it's mine now!"
Lang: "We really need it. We'll pay you as much as we can."
Kenjiro: "No! I won't give this here up, no matter how much y'all pay!"
Maya; "Please, Kenjiro, we're begging you! We'll do anything for you..."
Kenjiro: "Aw, shucks. Since y'alls are beggin'...I guess I better oblige...
Listen up! I'll give you the Mizel Red Sand! But! I want Lyps' Tear
in return!"
Lang: "Lyps... Teardrops?"
Kenjiro: "The Lyps are as hard to find as they are famous. They only shed tears
from those lovely eyes once a year! It's incredibly rare!"
Lang: "I think...I have it... Is this it?"
Kenjiro: "Ooooo! Aha!! How'd you come upon that there!? It don't matter. We're
tradin'!"
System: You gave the Lyps' Tear in exchange for Mizel Red Sand
Kenjiro: "Darn! I was looking forward to sellin' this baby, but... Nothing. I
was just talkin' to myself."
[They finally reach the Forest Maze.]
Kazan: "Good. Now we will not be led astray. ...But we should still proceed
cautiously. That black sun may have affected this forest also..."
[They find a huge loghart crab.]
Kazan: "That's another big one! I wonder if this is an effect of the Eclipse
too?"
Maya: "Kazan..."
Kazan: "Maya, you just watch. Lang, this will be a good test for the new Art.
We will synchronize our moves for a massive attack. Are you ready?
First, select BATTLE. Your turn! Select ATTACK! Now, do this:
DOWN--LEFT--UP--RIGHT--DOWN--LEFT."
System: Airborne Fury... Variable Art -- Enter Down Left Up Right Down Left
Combine for an awesome tandem attack.
Kazan: "Ho! Now it's my turn! Okay! Let's do it, Lang!"
[Their combined attack does over 12000 damage, OHKO'ing the fiend.]
Maya: "Whoaaa!!!"
Lang: "This...I never knew!"
Kazan: "That's what you get when you combine our strength! I expect that you
can do it with others as well!"

[They walk into the snowy village.]
Maya: "That's my house. The path that continues on leads to Reym's cave. Huh?
Haven't you ever seen snow before?"
Lang: "This is...snow...?"
Maya: "It's colder here than in Lang's town, but it's warmer inside! Let's go
in the house now."
Lang: "What's wrong...? Master?"
Maya: "Kazan---?"
Kazan: "I don't... I don't deserve to enter thi svillage... I bet the other
villagers would agree. If only...I had noticed your power a little
sooner... Then you...wouldn't have lost your family and your friends..."
Maya: "But Kazan... You saved me... I think...the village will forgive you,
Kazan. Let's go inside."
Mick: "Maya! Maya came back to the village!"
Ruth: "What's going on?"
[The villagers gather 'round.[
Ruth: "Kazan! Where have you been?! You disappeared...!"
Maya: "I'm sorry for making you worry! I'm sorry!"
Ruth: "Maya... You... What happened to you?! I thought you lost your voice..."
Mick: "This is great!! Talk to me, Maya!"
Rona: "Congratulations, Maya!"
Simba: "You finally came back! Kazan! Didn't you know how lonely little Maya
was without you?"
Kazan: "I...I don't deserve to live in this village...I couldn't save Maya's
family......or the villagers."
Simba: "Hey Kazan, nobody could have stopped it. It wasn't your fault..."
Hilda: "That's right! Kazan! And you saved Maya! Nobody blames you! So why
should you leave the village? You and Maya... And everybody in the
village! I feel like you're all family! So what's the point of being
family if we're all separate, huh? Am I right, honey?"
Simba: "That's right! Isn't that why you came back, Kazan?"
Ruth: "Welcome back, Maya. And Kazan... Is this your...kid?"
Kazan: "No. Um... He's my...student, I guess. His name is Lang."
Hilda: "Oh! I was shocked. I thought you'd had a kid! You've had a hard time,
haven't you? We've had nothing but trouble since the black sun appeared!
It's not an exciting village, but make yourself at home."
Simba: "Let's have a drink for old time's sake! Promise me, Kazan!"
Hilda: *sigh* "Just like a fish!"
Durban: "Loosen up a little! It's the perfect occasion! Ha-ha-ha!"
Maya: "I told you. The incident has been forgotten. Nobody cares anymore..."
Kazan: "You're right. I was...being silly."
Maya: "Let's...let's go back home now."
[At Maya's house...]
Kazan: "Wow. It's a lot cleaner than before."
Maya: "The house was a pigsty when Kazan lived here! Kazan used to live in
this house. I'm renting it now, though."
Kazan: "Do you want to live here, too, Lang? There's still an empty room...
Hey, Maya? What's wrong?"
Maya: "Nothing! The room Kazan used to live in is spare, but... There's nothing
there except a bed."
Kazan: "Okay. Lang, go ahead and use the room."
Lang: "What are you going to do, Master?"
Kazan: "Me? Actually, I felt more comfortable living in the shack on Mt. Gabel.
Ha ha ha! Anyway... Can we see Reym tomorrow? I've been invited to
Simba's home. And Maya just came back, too! She needs to catch up..."
Maya: "Eh... But... Um..."
Kazan: "All right, then! The decision's made!"
Maya: "Kazan!! ...Sheesh! I guess Kazan is happy to be here, too, though he
doesn't show it... Um... Lang..."
Lang: "Hm?"
Maya: "I'm going out, too. I want to visit my parents' grave and tell them I'm
back."
Lang: "Oh. Okay. Don't worry about me!"
Maya: "Okay. See you later!"
System: Kazan and Maya have left the party
[Lang finds Maya where she said she'd be.]
Maya: "Mother... Thank you. If I hadn't heard your voice, I would have...
Father... I won't...run away anymore. I won't curse myself anymore! This
power of mine... It will come in handy some day. I'm sure of it now. So
don't worry about me, mother and father... Ah, Lang. Sorry to keep you
waiting. Shall we go home?"
System: Maya joined the party.
[They find the drunk Kazan at Simba's house.]
Simba: "Hey, Kazan!! Maya and your student came to pick you up!"
Kazan: "You guys have to dance, too! 'Sanji, the mountain maaaan! Best tree-
-climber in all the laaaaand...'"
Simba: "Ha, ha, ha. Oh, man! I'll take care of him tonight! I'll send him home
by morning."
Maya: "Can't be helped, I guess..."
Lang: "Ah, let's forget about him. He'll be partying all night. Let's go back
to the house, okay?"
[That night, Kazan visits Maya's parents' grave.]
Kazan: "I never thought...I'd ever come back here... If only I had noticed
Maya's power a little earlier... You wouldn't have lost your lives. All
I can do now...is apologize... All I can do...is to watch over that
child in your stead... I swear I'll keep that promise. To my dying
breath."
[The next morning...]
Kazan: "How late are you planning to sleep?! The entire world is in danger!
Time is a luxury we don't have."
Maya: "Look who's talking, Kazan! You were out all night!"
Kazan: "Hmph... That was then. This is now. Whatever. Let's go and see Reym."
System: Kazan joined the party
[They enter Reym's cave.]
Maya: "That's the monolith."
Lang: "It's just like the one we saw at the chapel... But this one doesn't have
the black sun!"
[Reym appears.]
Lang: "He's human...?!"
Kazan: "No... It looks human, but it's a spirit."
Lang: "A spirit?"
Kazan: "Remember the Mountain Morg at Mt. Gabel? It's like the Morg, a spirit.
It can speak, though. The Mountain Morg inhabited Mt. Gabel. Reym
inhabits the great tree behind the monolith."
Reym: "You are...Lang, aren't you?"
Lang: "How did you know my name?"
Reym: "Don't be too surprised. I know almost everything about this world. The
roots of this tree spread all over the world. And I can learn what's
going on from these roots."
Kazan: "Reym... About the black sun... What's the 'Eclipse' Avalon was talking
about?"
Reym: "The Eclipse. The terrible power from another world created by the black
sun... That power is consuming this world. The Eclipse is turning all
living things into evil...darkness...chaos..."
Lang: "Did that man, Avalon, make it happen?"
Reym: "Yes and no... The answer is carved into this monolith. Behold... 'The
Source Forge.'"
Lang: "The...Source Forge...?"
Reym: "The very creator of this entire world..."
Kazan: "The creator... The origin of our entire world... Can this really be?"
Reym: "I understand how difficult it may be for you to believe. To prove it,
I'll show you a memory. My memory...of this world of yours."
[The memory is from long ago.]
Lang: "What's this...?"
Reym: "It's the core of the Source Forge. It's the place where all life was
created. The Source Forge wasn't always here. At first, this world
contained nothing. And then, three sources of power were born. They
were...the power of fire...and wind...and water. Fire became the Sacred
Burning Stone, water because the Sacred Azure Stone, and wind became
the Sacred Teal Stone. Their powers melded together and the Source Forge
was born. The stones then created life and the Source Forge sent it into
the world. This life that was sent forth continued to evolve and
propagate, right up till the present. But the delicate balance of the
Source Forge, that source of all life...! ...was RUINED by HIM...! The
arrangement of the three sacred stones at the core of the Source Forge
is responsible for producing the world's life. And that man has upset
that precious arrangement!"
Lang: "So THAT'S what I saw in my dream that time!"
Reym: "When the arrangement of the sacred stones was changed, the Source Forge
began to run amok. It began trying to create a world full of evil and
chaos, covering everything with the power of the Eclipse, born of the
black sun."
[The memory ends.]
Kazan: "Where is this Source Forge? If we restore its balance, can't we change
the world back to the way it was?"
Reym: "Kazan... It is impossible for you. You cannot restore the Source Forge.
Lang... Only you can restore the Source Forge..."
Lang: "Me?! Why me?!"
Reym: "Because you are...a Star Shaper."
Lang: ?!
Kazan: "The man at the chapel called Lang that, too... Star Shaper? What's
that mean?"
Reym: "Power to manipulate the Source Forge. Power to shape the future of this
planet... Only you and Avalon possess the power..."
Lang: "Where did this power come from? Tell me! What am I?!"
Reym: "'What am I?' Is that your query? You and Avalon were born, nay...were
chosen, by the Source Forge."
Lang: "Born...from the Source Forge?"
Reym: "The Source Forge was created with the desire to promote life on earth...
Or...perhaps it was the will of the sacred stones, the creators of the
Source Forge. The life that sprang from it spread across the world,
creating more life over the ages. From a realm devoid of time, the
Source Forge has stood watch over the cycle of life. But unforseen seeds
formed during the cycle of death and rebirth. I speak of...the Mystics.
Beings who were a mixture of the forces of nature and of humanity... Were
these Mystics born to create a world full of hope, full of dreams? Or...
Were they born to destroy the very world the Source Forge had created?
The Source Forge became interested in the Mystics. It even hoped...that
the Mystics might guide its world to a better place... You and Avalon
have the power to use the Source Forge. The future of this world is in
your hands. But...Avalon... He has come to hate this world. I think his
sad experience of being a Mystic has changed him..."
Lang: "..."
Reym: "This world is being consumed by ruin... And the only one who can stop
it is you! You are...the only hope! Lang!"
Lang: "I still can't... I
