DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- MESSENGER FROM ZOLDAAD -- SWAMP OF NO RETURN 1
(The party is walking in a swamp. They come to a stop as Sakura falls to her knees. One by one, the rest follow except for Dark Fina.)
Dark Fina: Hey... What is wrong with you all?
Sakura: This would appear to be the effects of the miasma. It may have seemed thin, but of course such a long exposure...
Lid: You don't feel any ill effects?
Dark Fina: No... I'm perfectly fine... (...) (But that's odd... Why am I the only one unaffected?) (Because I'm from Hess? But then Sakura should also be unaffected. She's from Paladia, too.)
Jake: But what should we do? If we stay here, we'll just keep being exposed to the miasma.
Lid: I know... But my body just won't listen to me...
Rain: Damn it... I've got to do something...
???: Are you all right?
(The whole party get ! over their heads as a man on chocobo rides up, accompanied by another person with a large chest strapped to his back.)
Lasswell: You're...
Illias: I'm Illias. A salve-maker.
Fohlen: I'm the chocobo knight Fohlen. At Miss Amelia's behest, we have come to rescue you.
Rain: Amelia.. Wasn't there an Amelia in Zoldaad who...?
Jake: Yes. A main serving the imperial family.
(Illias steps forward.)
Illias: This is our way for thanking you for saving Zoldaad. Now then, take these leaves and hold them in your mouth. No chewing. They should help with the miasma.
Rain: Thanks. I hope you're right.
Jake: Hey, Illias. Did Amelia say anything about me?
Illias: No... Nothing in particular.
Jake: That's impossible. She must have mentioned how she could never forget me. Or how she counts down the hours till my return. That is what she said, right?
(Lid hits him with her hammer.)
Lid: Why would anyone say something that stupid!?
Jake: Augh!?
Lid: Illias. No need to waste yur medicine on this one.
Jake: What!? My lovely Lid! Y-you're planning to just let me die?
Lid: Nothing seems to get through your thick skin, you idiot. I'm sure the miasma won't either.
(Illias turns to Fohlen.)
Illias: ...Are these really the heroes who saved Zoldaad?
Fohlen: Yes. As difficult as it may be to believe by looking at them now...
