Jan. 4th, 2020 03:35 pmPreviously...
MAGI NATION MYSIDIA -- BLOOD OF PALADIA -- DOWNTOWN MYSIDIA 1
(The scene opens in downtown Mysidia. Flashes of light appear as the party is teleported into town one by one.)
Lid: Wha.... Where are we?
Sakura: Would you rather have stayed there and been blown to pieces? I brought you back to the town of Mysidia.
Lid: You can move from one place to another instantaneously? That's the same thing Cid did to us...
Fina: Sakura... Thank you. For saving us.
(Sakura turns to Fina.)
Sakura: We will undoubtedly need your strength when the final battle comes against the Sworn Six. I cannot let you be injured before then. We have a battle to fight together.
(Sakura has joined the party!)
(The camera centers on Nichol, who gets a (...)).
Nichol: (Fina should have regained all of her former power thanks to the Earthlord.) (But... that spell seemed to fail earlier... So does she truly have her power back or not?)
(The camera pans further west, to Rain and Lasswell standing some distance from the party. Rain looks like he has his head bowed.)
Lasswell: Was it a shock? To realize that the Darklord was in fact Sir Raegen.
Rain: ... ... ...
Lasswell: To be honest... I think I already knew it on some level. When Darklord saved us, I felt some of Sir Raegen's warmth from within that armor...
Rain(...): The Darklord is our enemy, but he was a man worthy of respect. I can admit that much. But it's like Lid said. We don't even know for sure who is inside of Darklord's armor now.
Lasswell: That is true...
(Rain turns from Lasswell, gets a (...) over his head, and walks off.)
Lasswell(...): (...Rain. That is not the only issue to consider here.) (If Sir Raegen truly was Darklord once....) (Then that means he was originally from Paladia.) (Meaning... that Rain... You too have the blood of Paladia running through your veins.) (Perhaps that explains... the glow in your arm that time...)
(The scene shifts. The party is walking elsewhere in downtown Mysidia. A black mage spots them and gets a ! over his head. The party comes to a halt, and Lid gets a ? as the other black mage also sees them and gets a !. The second black mage speaks.)
Rebel Soldier: There they are! Those are the criminals that destroyed the Magic Library! You have destroyed the cornerstone of all our hard-earned wisdom! This cannot be forgiven!
(The whole party gets a !, and Lid steps forward.)
Lid: What!? Hold on just a minute! We didn't destroy the library or anything!
Rebel Soldier: Do not try to deny your crimes! We know that you were in the library!
(Sakura gets a grumble symbol over her head.)
Sakura: Even if we try to explain, it doesn't look like they're going to listen.
Nichol: We seem to have no choice but to use force, for now. We will have to fight our way out of this trouble without harming any of the townspeople.
Sakura: Then we should consider using the underground paths. Follow me.
(The party hurries away, followed by a pack of black mages.)
MAGI NATION MYSIDIA -- BLOOD OF PALADIA -- DOWNTOWN MYSIDIA 2
(The scene opens inside a building. Earthlord walks in and looks around.)
Veritas of the Earth: It looks like she's not here. That demon, Fina.... (...) (Before Paladia was split into Hess and Aldore...) (Fina and I would always battle to test our skills as warriors of Paladia.) (When you fight until you can fight no more, something strange happens between you and your opponent. You understand one another in a way you can't any other way.) (But... when war broke out, she went instead to Hess...) (I'd just assumed... she would join Aldore and fight alongside me...)
(Two black mages enter.)
Mage: Who are you? No one is allowed in here but the mages of Mysidia.
(Earthlord gets a (...) but doesn't answer.)
Mage: Answer me! Who are you?
Veritas of the Earth: Why introduce myself to someone who is about to die?
(The mages get ! at this.)
Mage: Intruder! There's an intruder!
(The two mages flank Earthlord, and three more mages enter to stand before him.)
Veritas of the Earth: How amusing. Yes, call as many of your fellows as you can. Then try to stay alive long enough to entertain me! If you succeed, I may let you live. But if you fail...
(He glows.)
Veritas of the Earth: I will kill every last one of you.
(The mages cast spells, enveloping Earthlord in lightning. The scene ends.)
