Oh, hello. I see fire in those eyes! How do I put it?
They’ve a strong sense of duty.
Like whatever you start, you’ll always see through, no matter what!
If you’ll permit me,
there’s something I’d very much like to show you.
But…
First, I just need to hear it from you. Say that you’ll stay. Till the very end. With that done. Let’s get you on your way!
ACOLYTES

I am Agnès Oblige,
servant and vestal to the crystal of wind.
The crystal’s light is mother to all creation. To all life. Purified by the vestals’ rites, their incandescence wards the world from disaster.
And so I pray, now as ever before, and onward till the years take me.
What in the world?
ACOLYTES
ANIESU-sama! sonna TSU!

A fine sea breeze.
Foretelling its death is a hoax in poor taste. I’m Ringabel, or so they call me.
I’ve no memory, you see. A bit cruel, eh?
Still, humor’s welcome when you haven’t a clue to your past.
None save this book.
But its pages hold no history—only the future. And more importantly, a woman. We’ve yet to meet, and I’m in love.
My angel of fate. Could she be… Nearby!?

A great chasm opened in the earth and all of Norende was

Bah. They’ve been a curse upon us all of late. And never more than this last week.
They’re in a lather over this search for the wind vestal. I’ve no clue what has them so desperate,

They’ve berthed their ships at the lake southwest of us with cannons trained on the city.
I fear our own ships cannot fly as long as they’ve our people at gunpoint.
It galls me, but there’s little I can do.

This sort of indiscriminate slaughter cannot be allowed!
Black Mage Ominas Crowe! I’m at my patience’s end! This absolutely does it.
You’ve sent me into a full rage!
OMINAS CROWE
e, u, uragiru tsumori!?
ii no ka omae, chichioya no kao ni mo doro wo nuru koto ni naru n da zo! What!? You’re t-t-turning traitor?! You’ll make your f-father
a laughingstock!
EDEA
o-tou-san wa kankei nai yo!

This has nothing to do with him. All that I hold true denies everything that you are!
You, there! You’ll be helping me.
TIZ

Who, us!? But, we—

Would be delighted to assist you, milady. I’ll see you victorious,
or my name isn’t Ringabel! Well, maybe not my real name, but certainly my…
Anyway, what’s in a name, really? Don’t you agree, Edea?
EDEA

How did you…?
Enough. Conversation can wait!

Treason is one of those tricky things to forgive. Still, I’ve no regrets.
My conscience spoke, and I followed it. …Into the life of a deserter, it seems.
I trust there’s room in your little band for one more?
RINGABEL
kangei shiyou.
unmei no deai ni, kanpai!
Indeed, it was sorely incomplete without you.
AGNÈS
watashi wa, kyohi shimasu.
sakihodo made koukoku no kuuteidan datta anata to miko dearu watashi wa, kesshite aiirenai hazu. Unacceptable.
What bond of trust can exist between a sky knight of the duchy and a vestal?
EDEA

atashi no shinjiteita mono wa nani ga shiro de nani ga kuro ka. miko dearu anata to no koudou wa, shiro ka kuro ka.
So, this is the vestal of wind.
A black-hearted witch, as the tales I was raised on go. But of late, it seems things are rarely cut so cleanly. Behaving as the sky knights did makes a person wicked. That lot is black as they come.
And what other lies have I been told, then? The only thing for it is to see for myself. What is black, and what is white?
Your actions will tell me the color of your heart, vestal. And I plan to watch up close,
so I suggest you get used to me!
TIZ
nanka, sakki made to fun’inki ga chigau ne. That was…rational?
EDEA
sakki no wa, ano OMINASU tte yatsu no yarikata ga doushite mo gaman dekinakute.
I’m always rational!
That scum Crowe just had me seeing red before.
RINGABEL

Ahh, the type who’s claws come out when she gets hot-headed.
I’ll jot down a note not to anger you.
AGNÈS

Can these two be trusted?
TIZ
futa-ri-tomo, warui hito janasa-sou da yo. They don’t seem like bad people to me.
AGNÈS

Yes, but how a thing seems and how a thing is
often differs.
RINGABEL

ore no techou ni wa ki ni naru kijutsu ga aru.
“miko to sono ichimi ga, kuuteikishi-dan no hikuutei wo ubatta. ichimi ni wa IDEA mo doukou?”
Hold a moment, Agnès.
My journal offers a curious note.
“The vestal and crew commandeered the S.K. ship, with Edea in tow.”
AGNÈS
dou iu koto desu ka?
And what are we to make of that?
RINGABEL
ore-tachi ga YATSU-ra no hikuutei wo korekara ubau, …to kaishaku shite ii darou.
That we’re about to steal ourselves an airship. …One assumes.
AGNÈS

EDEA

Hm? Up there. Isn’t that…? Huh, speak of the flying devils.

Not by that course. They make south…!

Or, if you’d prefer, I can come down and pluck her from the last building I leave standing. The choice is yours. Entirely.
OWEN

You’ve a choice yourself! Leave now, or face me!
ARGENT HEINKEL

Leave me.
The king! They…nragh! They took His Majesty. That man…Heinkel… My sword didn’t
so much as scratch him… Tiz…
I ask this knowing it’s an unreasonable demand… Please…Help my king. Save this place… You’re the…

Surely you can’t just sit by and let Heinkel’s crimes stand?
