GRANDSHELT - THE CRYSTAL'S EFFECT - LATIUS WOODS OPENING

Lasswell: Rain... Are you all right?

Rain: ...Yeah. Once we're out of these woods, we should head straight for Mitra Village.

Lasswell: Before we do, Rain...there is something I should tell you. It's about the power of visions...a power that is now ours. The memories and emotions of people, housed inside crystals... These are visions. By summoning forth the visions of heroes of ages past and worlds distant... We can call upon their strength in battle. But enough words. It is best you see this power for yourself. Go ahead, Rain. Try to summon a vision.

(Rain does so.)

Lasswell: I believe that qualifies as a success. It would seem we have gained a strong ally.

Rain: Summoning visions... I never knew such a power existed...

Lasswell: Indeed. But take heed: summoning a vision is only the first step. With this, the visions of heroes you summon will lend us their strength. This power is not ours by chance or whim. We must use it wisely, and to the fullest.

Rain: Lasswell... Just how do you know so much about this. Visions,and summoning and all...

Lasswell: Sir Raegen taught me well. Yes, Rain... Your father.

Rain: That old codger? But why would he...?

Lasswell: Codger!? That is no way to speak of your father, Rain! Sir Raegen was one of Grandshelt's finest. A knight of true honor!

Rain: (...) Honor...indeed.

Lasswell: When Sir Raegen at first spoke to me of visions, I could scarce understand why he wanted me to know. Perhaps he foresaw that we would one day wield this power..

Rain: (grumble) But where did he learn about these visions in the first place...? Never mind. Worrying about such matters won't help us now. We should get to Mitra, then hurry onward to make out report.

Lasswell: Monsters here, too? What a treat.

Rain: Something isn't right, Lasswell. The madness in their eyes...

Lasswell: Do you think it's because of what happened to the crystal?

Rain: That's precisely what I'm afraid of.

(Battle commences. After the first wave is complete...)

Rain: Are we almost to Mitra?

Lasswell: About halfway, by my measure.

Rain: Only halfway? My legs cry for mercy...they can tasks no more! We've no choice, Lasswell. You're going to have to carry me the rest of the way.

Lasswell: ...Or I could just leave you here.

(The second wave starts. After it is done..)

Rain: Curses! Is there no end to them?

Lasswell: Stay focused, Rain! If we fall here, the sacrifices of our men will have been for naught!

Rain: I know, Lasswell... I know. We must prevail. For them...and for our world.

(Third wave commences. Scene ends after victory.)

Lasswell: You've grown comfortable battling alongside visions. It would seem you're ready for the next lesson: fusing them to augment their strength.

Rain: Let me guess... More super-secret knowledge from my old man.

Lasswell: ... Indeed. Sir Raegen taught me much.

Rain: ...What a joke. He taught you all this and never said a word to me, his own son?

Lasswell: Would you have listened if he had?

Rain: ...Point taken. (Note: this line us attributed to Lasswell but makes more sense as Rain's line.)

(A boss battle commences! Afterwards...)

Rain: Fancy finding an ochu in these parts.

Lasswell: if this, too, is a consequence of the shattered crystal, it bodes ill for our journey.

Rain: Mitra's not far from here. We should hurry.
