Briarland - Silver Owl Citadel

|
We need to think of what we can do to help. |

|
...You're not wrong. |

|
When we were training in the mountains, it was all too common to find our way blocked by mudslides or fallen trees. |

|
You can't just stand around feeling helpless, though. Doing so wastes valuable daylight AND risks dragging you into subsequent disasters. |

|
The faster you make your decision -be it turning back or finding a detour--the more your odds of survival improve. |

|
"As long as you survive, you can worry about the rest later." He drilled those words into our heads practically every day. |

|
Indeed. Our instructor was most emphatic about that particular lesson. |

|
We must get Lilia to Castle Wildrose as quickly and safely as possible. |

|
If our aim is to break through the Silver Owls' siege, flight magic is our only option. |

|
Which means we'll need to acquire brooms.Hopefully we can find food and medical supplies while we're at it… |

|
Let's search the castle, Yu. Could you and Grim help us? |

|
Baur, we're going to find some provisions. |

|
You'll do no such thing. You are to surrender. |

|
Our mission has failed. The current situation is completely different from when the general allowed you to join us. |

|
Go. The general protected you. Don't repay him by throwing away your lives. |

|
But sir! You only have a handful of troops here! |

|
Hmph. That's none of your concern. |

|
And for that matter, you humans have no reason to battle against the Silver Owls. |

|
We do, actually. |

|
What? |

|
I might have died if it weren't for Sir Vanrouge's protection. |

|
I owe him my life. I must ensure he survives. |

|
I need no other reason. Humans, fae... Those distinctions don't matter to me. |

|
I feel the same. |

|
There will be ironclads outside, waiting for us to leave the fortress. |

|
Breaking past them and making it to Castle wildrose will be no mean feat. |

|
My hands will be too full to ensure your safety. |

|
Worry not, sir. We'll live up to our instructor's teachings and do our part! |

|
Why would you humans go to such lengths...? |

|
... |

|
...Hmph. Suit yourselves, if you value your own lives so little. |

|
Don't say I didn't warn you! |

|
Let's get what we need and be quick about it! |

|
Yeah! I'll show off all the fancy flight moves I learned in Vargas's remedial lessons! |

|
Hold on, Sebek. There may still be ironclads lurking in the citadel. |

|
Stay on your guard. |

|
Hmph! I hardly need you spelling it out. |

|
Grim, Yuu, you'd both better stay close behind me! |

|
Oh yeah? You sure you wanna keep me in the back? |

|
I might "accidentally" light your rear on fire with my magic, y’know. |

|
What?! I'm trying to protect you weaklings…! |

|
That came from below. Are there ironclads coming after Father and Baur? |

|
Hmph. They hardly warrant Grandfather's concern. We'll dispatch them ourselves. |

|
Most castles and fortresses have a scullery and laundry room in the basement |

|
We could find some brooms there. Let's move! |
