MAGI NATION MYSIDIA - THE 700 YEAR OLD GIRL - MAGE NATION MYSIDIA
(The scene opens to two Veritas standing outside, talking.)
???: What do you think? Can you feel him?
???: Yeah... He's nearby. Seems like they've been hiding the crystal all these years with these sneaky tactics... I didn't think we would be reunited like this.
???: I will only warn you once. I don't care if it's you. If you let yourself get carried away with foolish emotions, I will cut you down.
???: I threw away my emotions 700 years ago. All except hatred. You're the one who might need to worry about keeping a level head. Look at Fina.
???: You needn't worry about that. Relax. I am dedicated fully to our great cause. I will break our enemy into pieces just as I will the crystal.
???: I hope you're right about that. Then let's go. Mysidia is waiting.
(The scene shifts to our party, standing in a town at night.)
Rain: Glad to have you on our side, Jake.
Jake: Yes, yes, comrades till the last, and all that, but where are we headed next?
Rain: Good point. I'm thinking that there's supposed to be a crystal not to far from here...
(As Rain speaks, a pink-haired girl stops in the background, chased by a dog.)
???: Hey! Leave me alone! Stop following me!
Fina: Aww, look at that! I want a puppy to play with, too!
(The girl runs across the screen again, the puppy still in chase.)
???: Does it look like I'm playing!? Hurry up and help me!
Nichol: Dog bits can be rather dangerous. We probably should help the girl.
Jake: Right you are, my moist friend! Leave it to me!
(Jake rushes to the puppy, who runs off.)
Jake: There you go! Are you all right, my lady?
???Don't start with the sweet talk, you cheeky sod! I'm too old for you, anyway.
Jake: Oh, I'm easy prey for the charms of an older woman, in fact. You fellows know what I'm talking about, right?
Lasswell: Please don't drag us down to your level.
???: Look, I don't think you appreciate the kind of age difference we're talking about here. Like 700 years different.
(The party all get ! over their heads at this.)
???: Oh? So that got a reaction out of you, at least. Perhaps you're not entirely stupid.
Lasswell: Are you... one of the Sworn Six of Paladia?
???: What? Don't liken me to those armor-fetish weirdos.
Lid: Armor...fe... What!?
???: Oh, I know all about them. And what type of people they are. Do you want to know? Who they really are? What they're after?
Lasswell: Naturally we would like to know that. If you really do know anything of use, that is.
???: It's up to you whether you believe me or not. But... if you want me to tell you about the Veritas, then you'll have to pass a little trial for me first.
Lasswell: What kind of trial?
???: Escort me as far as Mysidia. If I get there in one piece, then you pass.
Rain: What do you guys think? We were thinking of going to Mysidia next anyway...
Lid: Then we've hardly got any reason to say no. Why don't we just take her along?
Nichol: Yes. It seems reasonable enough.
Rain: Okay, then we accept your challenge! Uh... Sorry, what was your name?
???: My name is Sakura. And I'll be counting on you to keep me safe till Mysidia, Rain.
(Sakura walks off, the rest following, but Rain stops next to Lasswell who hasn't moved.)
Lasswell: Hey, Rain.... That girl... just called you by name...
Rain: Hey. that's true. How did she know my name?
