Scene 107

Elven Guard

Do my eyes deceive? That weapon, is it...?

Your eyes work just fine—this is the dagger.

Elven Guard

You have my deepest gratitude, kind humans. At last, I am allowed my rest... I wish you all well on the journey ahead.

Hey, Iori, that thing you said earlier... Was that about this event?

Nope.

Boy

All right! You got another one!

Eh? What's this about?

Pucci

You got Que's weapon, right? C'mon, let me see it!

Sure—feast your eyes.

Pucci

Oh man, the Astrum!

Pucci

Did ya know Astrum means "starlight"?

Pucci

And guess how it got its name? You wanna know, don't ya?!

Pucci

In the stories, a legendary warrior used this dagger to battle an evil god. With each slash, a piece of the bad guy went flying across the night sky, shining just like a shooting star!

What the hell kind of legend is that? Kinda gory, if you ask me.

Pucci

What's that, gramps? You can forget my help if you're gonna be rude, ya know?

Seriously?

Pucci

Yeah—seriously. You better prove you were listening, or you're getting nothing.

Relax kid, I was listening. Something about a star legend or a glittering god or whatever.

Pucci

Oh! Well, in that case, here you go!

Pucci

I can't wait till the next one!

How'd it go?

Haha... Could've gone worse, considering how I am with kids.

The next Sanctuary seems quite far away from here... It might be a bit hard to get there directly. What should we do?

Are there any towns or villages on the way?

At least one for sure.

Think it was called Taran? We could make a stop there if you'd like .

Sounds good to me. So you're tagging along, Musoh?

If you're open to joining, we could really use you on the team.

Haha, hard to say no to a girl, huh?

Ugh... Anyway, guess all five of us are making our way to Taran, then!

Well, I'm not gonna say "no" to a beauty like you, am I? Time to make a guild or something, then, eh?

A guild...

Oh, I've heard about that feature. You can create a group with those you trust.

Hah! You're getting ahead of yourself, old man. You gotta earn my trust first!

Ugh... Anyway, guess all five of us are making our way to Taran, then!
