Castle Wildrose - Path to Castle Gates

|
Mrah... Where are we now? |

|
I recognize this place. It's where the darkness swallowed us! We're back! |

|
Where are Father and Baur? |

|
They went toward the Tenebrous Wood… |

|
Ah…..Everyone, look. The ground's covered with footprints -from metal boots! |

|
It's the Silver Owls! |

|
Father and Baur are in danger. Let's hurry! |

Ironclad A |
How can she be so powerful?! |

Ironclad B |
I'd be roasted in my armor if our wizards hadn't blocked that fire… |

|
Stay sharp! Don't get yourselves crushed! |

Ironclad C |
Don't give the witch any room to breathe! Attack, attack, attack! |

Ironclads |
HRAAAGH! |

|
Ahl Lady Maleanor! |

|
Sebek, get the lead out! |

|
We're not supposed to get too far away from the dreamer, right? Well, that's what's gonna happen if we don't move! |

|
I don't need you spelling it out for me! It's just, even knowing this is a dream and not reality... Curses…! |
I know it's hard, but we have to go. | Staying behind won't change the past. |

|
...Right. Let's hurry, before the rain washes away their tracks. |
Briarland - Near Castle Wildrose

|
Mrah! This rain's turnin' into a downpour! |

|
The path is getting muddy, and the sun's starting to set... Faster, everyone! Before we lose them! |

|
Oh yeah, I'll get right on that. I'm already goin' as fast as I can, sheesh! |

|
Can't you use the same spell you did when we were lookin' for Silver? |

|
Y'know, when you went all glowy and sparky and zipped around? |

|
You mean Living Bolt? |

|
That was new to me as well. When did you acquire your signature spell? |

|
it was back when I was training alone in Briar Valley, after you enrolled at the school. |

|
I was striving to ensure I could come running faster than any other it an emergency arose for our liege and I seized upon that impetus. |

|
That said, I'm still a long way from properly acquiring it. |

|
It turns the caster into a bolt of lightning that can be used for maneuvers or offense… |

|
But it remains so unrefined that it leaves me with harmful afterettects when use it. |

|
That didn't matter when fighting you in your sleep-addled state; of course. |

|
A truly hostile enemy, however, wouldn't do me the kindness of waiting for me to recover. |

|
I could theoretically use it to catch up to Lilia and Baur, but I'd be dead weight afterward. |

|
I hadn't planned on using it in front of others at all until I'd completely mastered it. |

|
To think that I ended up needing to use it to jolt a perpetual sleepyhead awake… |

|
Ah... I'm sorry for that. But it's definitely a befitting signature spell for you, Sebek. |

|
Hmph. It could've at least gone off without a hitch inside a dream… |

|
I've been thinking about something ever since we entered Fathers dream. |

|
Malleus's spell is what's showing him all of this, right? |

|
So why is it all so horrible? |
Now that you mention it.. | It's been nonstop danger, huh? |

|
In Sebek's dream, Father and Malleus were gearing up to do off-campus internships together. |

|
If we take Malleus at his word… |

|
His magical slumber is supposed to give people dreams that are pertectly tailored to make the dreamer happy |

|
It would make more sense for Father's dream to be one where tae and homans don t tight, Where
Malleus s parents are alive |

|
A dream where Briarland remains a great nation. |

|
Hmm... You raise a good point. |

|
Malleus also said that he's monitoring our dreams and reigning over them. |

|
If he knew we were here, it stands to reason that he'd try to remove us, like he did in Sebek’s. |

|
Hmm... |

|
If you'll indulge some conjecture… |

|
Perhaps there's some reason that Malleus can't monitor Lilia's dream... |

|
It's possible. I really want to wake Father up and get his help if we can, but... |
!

|
I hear swords clashing! |

|
It sounds close by. Let's hurry! |
