Gemma |
It's our big
day, <pc>! We finally get to go and do the ceremony! We're going to be
grown-ups, at last! Hee hee! It
looks like Sandy's as excited as we are! Come on, let's
get moving! We don't want her to get to the top before us! |
Gemma |
I can't
believe there are monsters on the Tor! And on our big day, too! It's a little
bit worrying, but we have to push on—at least I've got you as a bodyguard,
<pc>! |
Gemma |
I, I've never
seen monsters that scary before... But you didn't seem to break a sweat!
You're amazing, <pc>! Now, we must
make sure we stay on the right path—let's look out for signposts. We wouldn't
want to go the wrong way and take a tumble. |
Gemma |
Thank you,
<pc>. I really thought we were done for there. I don't know what I'd
have done without you. It's all very
worrying, isn't it? The monsters, the lightning... We'd better get back to
Cobblestone—maybe Grandad knows what's going on. |
Gemma |
It was nice of
everyone to wait for us like that, but I'm not sure I like being the centre
of attention... Come on, it's
home time! Don't keep your mother waiting, <pc>! |
|
*: There's
more guards on the way, and I can't knock them all out... Let's get moving
before they find us! |
|
*: So it's all
happening just like the Seer said it would... *: Come on,
let's get out of here before they clock those empty cells. |
|
*: This is no
time for small talk. Unless you want to be dragon food, we need to get moving! |
|
*: Man, I
thought we were done for when that bridge collapsed... *: Now we need
to find ourselves an exit and get out of here! |
|

Erik |
So, yeah... Before I got slung in that dungeon, I
stashed a...certain something in downtown Heliodor. And now I want to go get
it. Let's head north! |
Erik |
Let's go say thanks to the nun who looked after us. |
Erik |
Me and Derk stashed the Orb in the biggest garbage pile
in Heliodor! Now it's time to go liberate that loot! |
Erik |
That rat Derk must have done the dirty on me and taken
the loot for himself! We need to track him down. There's an inn we used to
crash in over on the east side of town. Let's start our search there! |
Erik |
Come on, we need to head to the inn! We don't want to
miss Ruby again. |
Erik |
You heard Ruby—Derk's opened his own shop up by the castle.
Let's go pay him a little visit. He's got some explaining to do... |
Erik |
I guess I really owe the people of Cobblestone, huh? If they hadn't sent you up to Heliodor, we'd never have
met—and I'd probably still be stuck in that dungeon! Hey, why don't we head on over there now, so I can say
thanks? It's to the south of Heliodor, right? |
Erik |
Good old Derk. I should never have doubted him. And since the Orb's down at the Kingsbarrow, we can
drop by your hometown on the way there! Come on, let's head south to the Manglegrove. |
Erik |
Sounds like we've tracked Derk down. Let's head up
towards the castle and pay him a little visit. |
Erik |
Now we know where Derk is, we just need to figure out a
way to get past that guard. Word is he's no fan of dogs. If we could borrow one, we
might be able to scare him away and slip through the gate... |
Erik |
Well, what do you know? Old Derk was looking out for me
all this time. I guess I owe him one. Now, let's head out and see what he has to say about
the whereabouts of the Orb... |
Erik |
So we finally made it to the classy part of town...
Let's see if we can't find Derk's shop over by the castle. Hey, but don't forget that we're still Heliodor's most wanted,
okay? We need to watch our backs. |
Erik |
That monster's dumb tricks really slowed us down. We
need to push on. I mean, we've got to pay a visit to your hometown
before heading to the Kingsbarrow, right? Come on, let's make tracks! |
Erik |
You know all that crazy stuff we just saw? I feel like
it really happened. It happened right here... I guess we should look for a mischievous little monster
hiding in a treasure chest—if we find one of those, we'll know it's all true. Let's head back the way we came and see if we can't
find a likely spot where a treasure chest might be stashed. |
Erik |
You can bust out the Fun-Size Forge any time you want,
you know—you just have to head to a campsite or dig it out of your bag. Now, let's get through the Manglegrove and pay a visit
to Cobblestone before any guards from Heliodor catch up with us. |
Erik |
So this is the Manglegrove, huh? Come on, let's head through it and pay a visit to your
hometown! |
Erik |
I never knew there was a place called Cobblestone to
the south of Heliodor before I met you. I remember scoping out the area before we stole the
Orb, but I never spotted any villages on the map—it just looked like a bunch
of craggy old mountains. |
Erik |
Well, the Orb's been returned to its rightful owner—me!
Next stop, Cobblestone! See, I don't care how sacred it is—I don't want to hang
round this dingy old place a moment longer than we have to... |
Erik |
So it looks like we skipped Cobblestone and came
straight to the Kingsbarrow. Well, I guess we might as well get my Orb back
while we're here. ...The only question is, who or what took out those
guards? We need to be careful, man... |
Erik |
So it looks like we skipped Cobblestone and came
straight to the Kingsbarrow. Well, I guess we might as well get my Orb back
while we're here. |
Erik |
【not used】「もう少し 楽しむ余裕のある旅ならいいんだが あいにくと 今のオレたちは 追われる身だ。 ぶらぶらしているヒマはないぜ。 |
Erik |
Listen, I know it's tough, but we can't just hang
around here. If what your grandad said was right, we need to head east, to
Cobblestone Falls. I mean, if that tree showed you stuff from the past, I
guess it must be pretty important, right? You should go and check out
whatever it is your grandad wanted you to find. |
Erik |
So we got the Keystone we need to open the Door of
Departure—but before we go any further, I've got a little business of my own
to wrap up. Derk said the Orb is over to the east, in the
Kingsbarrow. I need to get it back. |
Erik |
Listen, I know it's tough, but hanging around here
won't do us any good. We're wanted men, remember? If we get caught, all your grandad's efforts will have
gone to waste. We need to head east to the Door of Departure—and we
need to leave right now. |
Erik |
So if what your grandad said was right, we need to head
east, to Cobblestone Falls. We can worry about the Orb later—for now, let's go do
some digging. |
Erik |
It's best to stay as far away from Heliodor as we can.
If the guards catch up with us, they'll sling us back in the cells and throw
away the key. We've got to stay focused on what your grandad told
you, okay? Let's head east to the Door of Departure. |
Erik |
So according to your grandad, we need to head on over
to Cobblestone Falls and find a three-sided rock, right? If that root showed you stuff from the past, I guess it
must have been pretty important. You should go check out whatever it is your
grandad wanted you to find. |
Erik |
So we got the Keystone we need to open the Door of
Departure—but before we go any further, I've got a little business of my own
to wrap up. Derk said the Orb is over to the east, in the
Kingsbarrow. I need to get it back. |
Erik |
So we've both taken care of business—it's time to do
what your grandad said and head to the Door of Departure. It's to the east of here, right? Come on, let's get
going! |
Erik |
The Orb's been returned to its rightful owner, so I guess
our next stop is Cobblestone Falls. |
Erik |
Hey, I appreciate you coming here to help me find my
Orb. Once I've got that back, we can head over to
Cobblestone Falls and check out that three-sided rock. ...The only question is who—or what—did this to the
guards? |
Erik |
Hey, I appreciate you coming here to help me find my
Orb. Once I've got that back, we can head over to
Cobblestone Falls and check out that three-sided rock. |
Erik |
So we made it to the Kingsbarrow, huh? Now, if there's
anything I've learned from my years of relieving people of their possessions,
it's that you always find treasure in the last place you look. So unless I'm very much mistaken, the Orb's gonna be in
the deepest, darkest room in the place. ...The only question is who—or what—did this to the
guards here? |
Erik |
So we made it to the Kingsbarrow, huh? Now, if there's
anything I've learned from my years of relieving people of their possessions,
it's that you always find treasure in the last place you look. So unless I'm very much mistaken, the Orb's gonna be in
the deepest, darkest room in the place. |
Erik |
You haven't forgotten that we're Heliodor's most
wanted, have you? This isn't the time to be sightseeing—if the guards
catch us, they'll sling us back in the cells and throw away the key. |
Erik |
You know what the worst thing about being locked up in
that dungeon was? The food. The bread was so hard you could crack rocks with it. If
I never see that place again, it'll be too soon... |
Erik |
Hey, are you trying to ditch me or what? I said I was
going to the bathhouse and the next thing I know, you're sneaking out of the
village! |
Erik |
I think it's safe to say we're not being followed any
more. For now, at least... Now, I don't know about you, but I can't say that I've
ever been here before. How about we go chat to some of the locals? |
Erik |
Dammit, I get the feeling we might be lost. Make sure you keep checking the map, okay? Otherwise we
might never see daylight again... |
Erik |
Phew! It's hot! Are you sure you don't want to, like,
strip off a bit? You're going to stew in that outfit. How about we head down the mountain and see if we can't
find a place to cool down? |
Erik |
Hey, where do you think you're going? We finally found
some folks to talk to and you're running away? |
Erik |
Um, <pc>? You do remember what we're doing,
right? We're heading to the bar with those two girls. Listen, I totally understand why hanging out with that
Veronica brat might not be your idea of fun, but we can't just abandon that
other little girl, can we? Let's head back to Hotto and reassure them that we
haven't forgotten about them. |
Erik |
That Veronica kid talks a good game, but could she
really handle herself if things got hairy? I guess she did say she was a mighty sage from Arboria.
That must mean something, right? I'm not sure what though... |
Veronica |
Serena and I just happened to come across Hotto on our
travels. I thought a trip to the bathhouse would be a nice way to relax... But as soon as I went through the door, a bunch of
monsters attacked me. Honestly, what is the world coming to!? Anyway, they kidnapped me and took me back to their
lair. It's this giant underground labyrinth out to the west. We have to go
there and find Serena. Once you're all set, let's get going! |
Erik |
So let me get this straight—Veronica and Serena are
twins, and Veronica is the older one? It's going to take a while to get my
head around this... I just hope it's not going to freak Serena out too much
having a big sister who looks like a little kid... |
Veronica |
Serena and I were always the same height growing up... Imagine
how strange it is for me to be smaller than her!? Still, if those stupid monsters hadn't shrunk me, I'd
never have been able to escape, so I guess every cloud has its silver lining. Now let's get going, <pc>! I'll bet the creeps
who stole my magic powers are going to be skulking somewhere inside the
labyrinth. |
Serena |
We need to get back to the labyrinth. If we don't, I
dread to think how those monsters might misuse my sister's magical powers... We simply must recover Veronica's magic and get her
back to her old self! Even if she is rather adorable as she is... |
Erik |
You know, I don't think it was just a coincidence we
ran into these girls. All this stuff about Arborian legends, the Luminary, the
Dark One...it sounds like destiny at work to me. And maybe it's all
true—maybe you really are going to save the world, <pc>! |
Veronica |
Well, I've got my magic powers back, but our work
here's not done just yet! The monsters have someone else locked up right behind
the place where we fought Jarvis. We have to help! |
Serena |
Um, <pc>...? I believe my sister wants you to
help her with something. It's not really my place to insist, of course, but I
know what happens when Veronica gets angry... |
Erik |
Where do you think you're going, <pc>? Aren't we
meant to be looking for ways to reach the World Tree? Listen, that Noah guy we busted out of jail is someone
I've come across before. He's a man who knows things. Lots of things. He might be able to help us. We should head back to
Hotto and see if he isn't propping up the bar. |
Veronica |
I don't mean to be rude, <pc>, but has anyone
ever mentioned that you seem to have trouble staying focused? You're just like my sister. You're supposed to be doing
one thing, but you somehow manage to forget what it was. I have a feeling you
and her are going to get on just fine... |
Serena |
Are we going for a little walk, <pc>? I think that's
a simply wonderful idea—but I'm worried Veronica will disagree. She's always getting annoyed at me for wandering off
when I'm supposed to be doing something else. I wouldn't want her to get
annoyed at you too! Hee hee! |
Erik |
So old Noah thinks he saw a branch from the World Tree,
does he? I'm not sure I buy it, but I guess we've got no choice but to check
it out. We need to head south-west, huh? Gallopolis, here we
come! |
Veronica |
This has all been a bit of a pain, but at least I got my
magic powers back. And I'm getting used to my new look. Oh, and we stopped those monsters that were menacing
Hotto—not that anyone there even noticed what was going on, of course. They
were too busy stewing their brains in the bathhouse. |
Serena |
My sister and I visited Gallopolis before we met you.
It's rather a fun place—there are certainly a lot more people than there are
in Hotto. When we get there, I think we all deserve a little
rest, don't you? We've been through a lot... |
Erik |
So we're looking after lost kids now, huh? Well, let's
help Connie out and then split. We're wanted men, after all. Connie's sister's got to be that girl in the red hat
you saw hanging round the bar, right? |
Connie |
Thank you so much! I was all on my own! Promise you won't leave me! I don't want to be left
alone again! |
Erik |
Gah, how did we end up running a childminding service?
Connie was one thing, but this Veronica kid? She's something else. Let's drop them at the bar and split this joint. We're
wanted men, remember? |
Veronica |
I still can't work out how you thought a girl whose dad
was missing was looking for her sister. I mean, how stupid can you be!? Anyway, if I'm going to get any useful information out of
this bar owner, it looks like I'm going to have to talk to him myself. Come
on, let's get going! |
Connie |
My daddy's always going off and leaving me on my own. I don't want to be all alone! Where am I going to
stay!? |
Erik |
Veronica may be a pain in the you-know-what, but we've
still got to help her out. I mean, her sister's just a little girl, right? We
can't let these monsters get their claws on her. |
Veronica |
Um, is there a reason we're not heading to the
labyrinth? We need to head west, get my magic powers back and
teach those monsters a lesson. They're pretty tough, though, so make sure
you're ready for them! |
Serena |
I remember when we first came here, we thought it was
delightful. Our plan was to stay for a little while and enjoy the bathhouse. Well, maybe we can try again once Veronica has her
magic powers back. Oh, I can't wait to really relax and unwind! |
Erik |
I knew I'd seen that Noah guy before. He sells juicy information
to...err...people in my line of work. I bet he knows a way to get to Yggdrasil. Let's head to
the bar and see what we can get out of him. |
Veronica |
I still can't work it out. If the Dark One was really
defeated, why have you been reborn now? Well, all I know is that we have a sacred duty to
fulfil. With any luck, once we get you safely to Yggdrasil, all will be
revealed. |
Serena |
We know we have to get to Yggdrasil, but I'm afraid we
just don't know how. I suppose the best hope we have is to do as Erik
suggests and speak to Noah... |
Veronica |
When I first met Erik, I thought he was a real
no-hoper, but it turns out he is capable of having ideas that aren't
completely stupid. Well, we know what we're looking for—someone who
managed to break off a branch of the World Tree. Who would do a thing like
that, though? Still, let's see what they've got to say. If we're
lucky, they'll be able to tell us how they managed to reach Yggdrasil. |
Serena |
I know you probably didn't expect to be joining forces
with a pair of rather mismatched twins, but destiny can bring together
curious companions. All who journey alongside the Luminary are surely
chosen by Yggdrasil. Hee hee! I'm ever so excited! |
Erik |
This place is giving me a headache. Let me guess—you're
lost. I'm not too sure where we are either, actually. My
advice is keep checking the map till you work out where you're at. |
Erik |
I don't like this place one little bit. I get the
feeling folks come in here and don't leave... I'm telling you, I'm a thief—I know when something's
not right. Let's find this Serena kid and then scram. |
Veronica |
Keep your wits about you, <pc>. This place is full
of tricks and traps. We'll end up stuck in here forever if we're not careful. To be honest, it was a miracle I managed to escape. The
main thing I learnt was to always watch my step... |
Erik |
You know, I was pretty nervous about meeting Serena. I mean,
the last thing we needed was another Veronica. Still, I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong. It turns out
Serena is mature, sensible, calm...everything her sister isn't, basically. |
Serena |
I confess, I'd almost given up hope. It's such a relief
to find my sister safe and well! I'm sure she'll be back to her old self in no time once
her magical powers are restored! Come on, <pc>! Let's push on! |
Serena |
It's a shame that Veronica couldn't go back to how she
was, but I suppose I'll just have to get used to having a twin sister half my
size! And don't worry, <pc>—no matter how big or small
we are, you can rely on us to protect you! |
Erik |
Come on, <pc>! Noah said he was heading back to
Hotto, didn't he? Well, there's no one else to rescue here. Let's head
back and see what he's got to say. |
Veronica |
Um, is there a reason we're hanging round here? It
doesn't exactly bring back happy memories for me, you know. ...Wait, let me guess! You're looking for treasure
chests you might have missed, aren't you? Well, fine. But if you think we're
staying here all day, you're very much mistaken! |
Serena |
Thinking of poor Veronica locked up here makes me
shudder. Still, there's something about caves and tunnels that I
can't resist. I just love wandering around them—I have a feeling that you and
I are very alike in that regard, <pc>! |
Erik |
What's up, <pc>? Are you worried there are some
monsters down here you haven't beaten yet? Well, whatever you do, you know I've got your back. I'm
not sure we have time for too much aimless wandering, though... |
Erik |
You know what the worst thing about being locked up in
that dungeon was? The food. The bread was so hard you could crack rocks with it. If
I never see that place again, it'll be too soon... |
Erik |
Gah, I was planning on relaxing in the bathhouse, but
now it looks like we've ended up running a childminding service. Let's drop the kids off at the bar and then split. We're
wanted men, remember? |
Veronica |
Don't tell me you're lost! You have heard of these
things called maps, haven't you? When I first started travelling with Serena, we'd get
lost a lot. But then we learnt to read maps properly and never looked back.
Give it a go, why don't you? |
Erik |
Look, I know we rescued Serena, but I don't think we
should start wandering around aimlessly just yet. We need to get Veronica's magic powers back, right? I
get the feeling she's going to give you a piece of her mind if you don't get
moving. |
Veronica |
I'm starting to think you weren't listening to me,
<pc>... You know we have something we need to do, don't you? Is wandering around the place going to help me get my
magic powers back? Well? Is it? |
Serena |
...Oh! Erm, where are we exactly? I'm afraid I must
have been daydreaming. We should really hurry back to the labyrinth as soon as
we can, though. Goodness knows what awful things those monsters might be
doing with my sister's magical powers... |
Erik |
So let me get this straight—if we manage to get up to
Yggdrasil, we stand a chance of finding out why the Luminary was reborn.
That's how it works, right...? ...Sheesh! It's too hot to think! Come on, let's head
to the castle, grab that branch and then go cool down somewhere. |
Veronica |
So according to Noah, there's a branch from Yggdrasil
somewhere in the palace here in Gallopolis. I mean, even if he's telling the truth and there really
is a branch, I'm still not sure it's going to help us get to Yggdrasil. But
we don't have any better ideas... |
Serena |
We visited Gallopolis before we met you, <pc>.
It's a marvellous place. But I don't suppose we have time for sightseeing this
time round. Let's go to the palace and find out if what Noah told us was
true. |
Erik |
Horse racing sounds kind of cool, but we've got a
branch of the World Tree to find. Let's go talk to the Sultan. |
Veronica |
Let's have a little look round town before we head to
the palace, <pc>. It never hurts to speak to people—and who knows, we
might even find out more about this branch. |
Serena |
Veronica and I came here when we were looking for you,
<pc>. We couldn't believe how lively it was! To get to the castle, you have to climb the central
staircase then go round. Gallopolis is very big, so let's be careful not to get
lost! |
Erik |
This place is seriously big! The desert knights have
got no shortage of space to train, that's for sure. |
Veronica |
There are rumours that the Prince of Gallopolis is an
amazing horsemen, but we didn't get a chance to see him last time we were
here. I wonder what he looks like... |
Serena |
Gosh, this really is a marvellous place! No wonder Gallopolis
is world-famous! Now, let's see what the Sultan has to tell us about
this branch from Yggdrasil! |
Erik |
So this is the racetrack, huh? And unless I'm mistaken,
it looks like anyone can give it a go. ...But we're not here to ride around on horses! We've
got serious things to do—like finding out what the Sultan has to say about
that branch! |
Veronica |
Hey, <pc>! Why don't you saddle up and try
entering a race? You might even win something! |
Serena |
Um, <pc>, you wouldn't happen to be lost, would
you?<yesno> Well, don't worry. I got lost when I first came here
too! To get to the palace, we'll need to go back into the
town, climb the central staircase and then go round. Oh! Does this mean you're planning on taking part in a
horse race, then? Gosh! Well, best of luck! Oh! Does this mean you're planning on taking part in a
horse race, then? Gosh! Well, best of luck! |
Erik |
Man, it's hot... I've never been able to handle this kind
of heat. Listen, if we don't have a reason to be out here in the desert, why
don't we head off somewhere cooler? |
Veronica |
Serena and I have a duty to lead the Luminary—that's you—to
Yggdrasil. If we do that, it should answer a lot of questions about what's
happening to the world. Now, we're not quite sure how to get there, but getting
hold of the Rainbough sounds like it might give us a clue or two... So let's stop wasting time out here and head back to
Gallopolis! |
Serena |
Veronica and I have already travelled through this
desert once. It was back when we were looking for you, <pc>. Of course, Veronica didn't look like a little girl back
then. Ha ha! A lot's changed, hasn't it? |
Erik |
Listen, <pc>... Are you sure you're okay with
having this Sylvando guy along for the ride? I kind of feel like he's forced
himself into the picture... I mean, we're still on the run, and he's not exactly going
to help us keep a low profile... |
Veronica |
Sylvando might be a bit different to most people you
meet, but having him with us could be fun. I bet he'd be useful in a fight,
too! It certainly doesn't sound as though he'll slow us down—and
if he's going to help us capture the Slayer, I don't see what we've got to
lose! |
Serena |
I feel a lot safer out here now Mr Sylvando has joined
us. I mean, you saw him at the circus—not to mention the Sand National! He's
clearly ever so talented... Yes, the Slayer of the Sands sounds terrifying, but I
know we'll be able to capture it with Mr Sylvando on our side! |
Sylvando |
Okay, honey, listen up! If we head west from
Gallopolis, we'll come to two checkpoints. The northern one leads to the Celestial
Sands, where this horrible Slayer thing is. We really shouldn't let little Princey-poo get too far
ahead of us, so let's head over there without further ado! |
Erik |
All that stuff we were talking about with Sylvando—about
the Luminary and the Lord of Shadows—that was pretty wild, but he seemed to
take it all in his stride. I guess he's not easily shocked... Anyway, enough about him. We need to focus on capturing
the Slayer and getting hold of that Rainbough! |
Veronica |
Prince Faris really doesn't know what he's doing, does
he? He just charged off into the Sands without waiting for us! I mean,
enthusiasm's all very well, but honestly... Come on, <pc>. Let's get after him. I dread to
think what might happen if he were left to fend for himself against the
Slayer! |
Serena |
The Slayer of the Sands sounds rather fearsome, I must
say. Let's make sure we're properly prepared before facing it. |
Sylvando |
The little Princey-poo's already dashed ahead into the Celestial
Sands! Let's follow him, darling, and show the Slayer of the Sands who's
boss! |
Erik |
Why did Prince Faris insist on having us capture the
Slayer? Wouldn't it be better for everyone if we just finished it off when we
had the chance? I bet he just wants to show off to his adoring public
back in the city. Man, that guy's an idiot! |
Veronica |
Did you see that little exchange between Sylvando and
Prince Faris, <pc>? The Prince didn't seem very happy at what his life
has become... It's almost enough to make you feel sorry for him, but
we don't have time for that! The Rainbough should be ours now. Let's head
back to the city and get the Sultan to hand it over! |
Serena |
I wonder where Mr Sylvando went... I know he was only
with us for a little while, but I really feel we'd have been lost without
him. Still, I mustn't think about that now. We need to
follow Prince Faris back to Gallopolis, and get the Rainbough from the
Sultan! |
Erik |
That Sylvando guy talks way too much...but he can
really fight. I guess it makes sense to let him tag along. Okay, <pc>. Let's head for Gondolia and see if we
can't track down the merchant who bought the Rainbough! |

Isn't this just great? Now that we've got Sylvando's ship,
we can head out onto the high seas and visit all sorts of new places! I still can't believe he owns his own ship, though...
He must be someone pretty important. I wonder what his story is? |
Serena |
I feel a lot less anxious about the journey ahead now
that we have Mr Sylvando along with us—and I'm sure we're going to have a lot
more fun, too! I mean, I have fond memories of when it was just
Veronica and me, but it really is true what they say about travelling—the
more the merrier! |
Sylvando |
My ship's waiting for us over in Gondolia, darling.
We'll need to pass through the western checkpoint in order to get there. Gosh, I can't wait to find out what adventures are
waiting for us on the high seas! Onwards! |
Erik |
Hey, <pc>. The Prince said he wanted to speak to
you, right? Let's go visit him at the palace. |
Veronica |
I've got a good feeling about this, <pc>! It
sounds like the Rainbough that will lead us to Yggdrasil is right here in
Gallopolis! Let's go and visit the Prince in his chambers—and mind
your manners, you hear? We're dealing with royalty here! |
Serena |
It's a good job Prince Faris came along when he did. I
thought the Sultan was going to refuse to listen to us! By the way, <pc>, did you hear the Prince's Pledge?
It was terribly impressive, wasn't it? It sounds like the desert knights of
Gallopolis are as amazing as everyone says they are! |
Erik |
We really don't have time to be going to circuses, but
I guess we've got no choice if we want to get hold of the Rainbough. And who
knows, maybe we'll get to see some cool stuff while we're there. |
Veronica |
Isn't this exciting, <pc>? We're going to the
circus! And for free, as well. This is a real stroke of luck! Now, you remember the plan, right? Prince Faris wants
to meet up in the evening in front of the circus tent. Let's not keep him
waiting... |
Serena |
I've never been to the circus before! It's all terribly
exciting... I do wonder about this favour Prince Faris wants to ask
us, though. I mean, is he really going to just give us the Rainbough? He did
say it was a priceless royal treasure... |
Erik |
This guy's not much of a prince, is he? I mean, I know we
need to get hold of the Rainbough, but do we really have to go along with his
crazy plan? Still, the circus was really something, right? That
Sylvando guy was pretty wild. I'm not saying it's made the whole thing
worthwhile, but getting to see that for free was cool. |
Veronica |
‘Then I assume that your need of the Rainbough is not
so great after all...’ Grrr! What a little weasel! Just thinking about that
useless prince makes my blood boil! Still, you can't get out of this now—you've got to try and
win that race! Let's head over to the racetrack and get training! |
Serena |
Gosh! Everyone seems so excited! It looks as though the
whole kingdom is looking forward to the Sand National! Now, Prince Faris told us the stables were in the
western part of the city, didn't he? I know the circumstances are a little unusual,
<pc>, but I'll still be praying that you romp home in first place! |
Erik |
Wow... Listen to all that cheering! Seems all you got to
do is stand next to a fake prince, and people go wild. Anyway, this might all be a big con, but a race is a
race. Make sure you win it, okay? And don't worry—we'll be cheering you on
from the stands. |
Veronica |
That royal get-up really suits you, <pc>! I bet
that pathetic prince has never looked half as dashing as you do right now. Anyway, never mind that. It's almost time for the Sand
National! You'd better be ready for this, because there's no pulling out now! You're the Luminary, remember! It's practically your
duty to win this thing! |
Serena |
It sounds as though the entire kingdom is cheering you
on, <pc>! Well, it's Prince Faris they're cheering really, but still... Anyway, we need to get hold of that Rainbough, so there's
no need to feel bad about deceiving people. Come on—I know you can do this! |
Erik |
Well, thank goodness that's over. That's the last time
I'm doing any favours for royalty... Speaking of which, it sounds like Prince Faris has been
summoned back to the Palace to talk to the Sultan. I think we should do the same, <pc>. Let's get
that Rainbough and wave goodbye to this horrible, sweaty place. |
Veronica |
Well, well <pc>! You were really impressive out
there! It did annoy me that everyone thought you were that
stupid prince, though. I mean, he's not fit to lace your boots! |
Serena |
You'd never have guessed that Mr Sylvando was a last
minute replacement. He was so fast, but he looked as though he was barely trying! I wonder where he learnt to do all these amazing
things? I mean, first the circus performance, and now this... |
Erik |
Gah, wouldn't you just know it? We were about to bag
the Rainbough, and then this ‘Slayer of the Sands’ has to go and turn up... What's up with that Sultan, anyway? Can he really not
see how useless his son is? I know it's none of my business, but if I was
him, I'd be pretty worried about this place's future... |
Veronica |
Hmph. Prince Faris asked us to come to his chambers again.
Well, there's no point delaying the inevitable. Let's head to the palace and
get this over with. |
Serena |
It's a shame the Slayer of the Sands had to appear when
everyone was in such a jolly mood, but there's nothing we can do about that. What we CAN do is make sure the horrible thing doesn't
cause any more mayhem. Please, <pc>! We have to help these poor people! |
Erik |
I just want you to know, I'm only going to help capture
this Slayer thing because you made the call, okay? I'm not doing it to help
that useless prince. Now, where did he say he'd meet us again? At the castle
gates? Come on then. Let's get this over with... |
Veronica |
I'm not making any excuses for Prince Faris, but what Serena
said is probably true. I suppose we'd better make sure he doesn't get himself
maimed or something. In any case, we really can't let this Slayer of the
Sands keep rampaging around. It's already hurt at least one innocent person. So come on, <pc>! Let's go and capture the Slayer
and finally claim that Rainbough! |
Serena |
Prince Faris is being forced to live a lie, and all
because he doesn't want to let his parents or his people down. I can't help
but feel sorry for him. I mean, imagine the kind of pressure you'd feel,
growing up a prince and knowing all the expectations people had of you! |
Erik |
Uh, <pc>... You haven't forgotten that we're
actually on the run, right? Let's hope this Sylvando guy doesn't draw too
much attention to us... |
Veronica |
Prince Faris and his guards went off into the Celestial
Sands to look for the Slayer. Apparently we need to head west and then go north.
Let's get after him, <pc>, before he causes any more trouble... |
Serena |
Gosh... It feels like everyone's eyes are on us now
that we're with Mr Sylvando. He really is a star turn here... |
Sylvando |
What's the matter, darling? Left your sun cream in the
city? That's alright—it's better to be prepared before taking on this Slayer thing.
He sounds like a nasty piece of work! |
Erik |
So after all that—all that running around after Prince
Faris—we're still no closer to bagging the Rainbough? Great. Still, I guess this place is in better shape than when
we found it. The Sultan's seen the error of his ways, and even the Prince
looked like he might pull his socks up... Right. Come on, <pc>. Let's stay on the trail of
the Rainbough and head west to Gondolia! |
Veronica |
I thought the Sultan was finally going to give us the Rainbough...and
then he goes and tells us he sold it to fund that ridiculous horse race! I'm
speechless, I really am... Still, Prince Faris did stand up to that monster, and
that never would have happened if it weren't for us. That's something at
least... |
Serena |
When the Slayer of the Sands broke free of its chains,
I feared the worst. I really didn't think Prince Faris would be brave enough
to face it alone! That wasn't the most surprising thing, though. Did you
see Mr Sylvando with that sword? And he seemed to know all about the Knight's
Pledge, too... He's fascinating, isn't he? I hope we'll get the chance
to meet again someday! |
Erik |
It sounds like we're one step closer to getting hold of
this Rainbough thing. But I'm worried, <pc>. The Prince was really
staring at you back there... You don't think he's figured out who you are, do you? I
wouldn't put it past him, you know... After all, they say he's the most capable prince this kingdom
has ever had. If we're going to see him, we need to watch our step. |
Erik |
Well, it looks like the Prince hasn't worked out that
you're the Luminary, but I still don't trust him... We're wanted men, you know. We can't afford to forget that
for a second. |
Veronica |
Wow! Not only are we going to find out about the
Rainbough, we're going to the circus—with a prince! I think the big top is over in the east of the city.
Let's do as His Highness told us and head over there after dark! |
Serena |
Prince Faris said the Rainbough was a priceless royal
treasure, but he's going to ask his father to give it to us! What a
kind-hearted, generous young man! We could all learn something from him, don't you think,
Veronica...? |
Veronica |
What are you doing, <pc>? If you're looking for Prince Faris, he said he'd be in
the stables, over in the west of the city. |
Erik |
The Prince told us to come to the throne room, right? Well, let's head in there, grab the Rainbough and get the
heck out of here. |
Veronica |
Do you think everyone really thought it was Prince
Faris on that horse? It'd be quite annoying if no one suspected a thing... Not that any of that matters any more. We've done what
the Prince asked us to do. Let's go and claim our reward! |
Veronica |
You don't need to say anything, <pc>. I think we
both know what the Prince is planning... I'm not happy about it either, but we've got to get
that Rainbough somehow or other. Let's go and see what His Highness has to say
for himself. |
Serena |
We can't let the Slayer of the Sands continue its reign
of terror! Let's go to Prince Faris's chambers and see what he has
to say on the matter. |
Erik |
Uh... Should we really be bringing Sylvando into the
palace? You know what these performing types are like. If he
causes a scene, well, don't say I didn't warn you... |
Veronica |
Prince Faris and his guards went off into the Celestial
Sands to look for the Slayer. Apparently we need to head west and then go north. Let's
get after him, <pc>, before he causes any more trouble... |
Serena |
Oh! I know why we've come back here! You wanted to say
hello to the palace cats, didn't you, <pc>? Hee hee! Don't worry, I understand. I find it very
soothing to be around them as well. |
Sylvando |
Oh my! Are you giving me a tour of the palace!? What an
honour! We mustn't stay too long, though. Let's just have a
quick cuddle with a few of the cats, then catch up with the Princey-poo in
the Celestial Sands! |
Erik |
Uh... Should we really be bringing Sylvando into the
palace? You know what he's like. He's just going to climb up a
tower and cause some kind of scene. Well, don't say I didn't warn you... |
Veronica |
I'm not sure I quite believe it, but it seems Prince
Faris has started taking his knightly training seriously. Of course, he owes it all to us. I just hope he's
grateful, that's all... |
Sylvando |
I don't think there's any need to worry about the
little Princey-poo any more. I'm sure he'll make a fine sultan one day. He had the
guts to stand up to the Slayer, after all. |
Erik |
So this is the Gallopolis racetrack, huh? It looks like
people come from all over the world to race here... We could even give it a go ourselves if we didn't have
more important things to worry about. But first things first, let's go talk
to the Prince. |
Erik |
So you're planning on entering a race before heading to
the circus? I didn't know you were such a racing fan... |
Veronica |
I had no idea how crazy about racing the Gallopolitans
were! The warm-ups for the Sand National must be taking place right now. You know what, <pc>? It might not be a bad idea
for you to get some practice in before the big day... |
Serena |
The Sand National's all done and dusted, but there are
still races taking place! Horses don't seem to get much rest around here! If you're planning on entering another race, I'll be
cheering you on! |
Erik |
Look, I don't much want to talk to the Prince either, but
we can't put it off forever... |
Erik |
So it seems even the Slayer of the Sands isn't a reason
to cancel horse races around here... I'm not sure if that makes these people brave or
stupid. Either way, if you want to take part, I won't stop you. Heck, I'll
even cheer you on. |
Veronica |
Are you seriously planning on entering a race,
<pc>? Well, you'd better win! |
